Palmer's Masquerade continues, the Monday after the last episode... Hope everyone enjoys!

[@jchow5966]

Thank you! This just makes me happy and makes my day beautiful!!!!💟

[@Lisabug2659]

I remember watching this episode! I so enjoyed listening to my soap while doing my housework. Old days! House was immaculate, dinner on the table at 6 pm, laundry done, bills paid and rent for our duplex was $520 which back then was high. I was 21, expecting my baby girl, quite happy! Thereafter, had to incorporate Sesame Street, electric company, and great space coasters……lol…. I always thought Tom reminded me of our Siamese cat……I am 63 and it crossed my mind AGAIN watching this vid……go figure….😂

I thought it was great from the beginning....I stopped watching in 1983...Went to work then on...

[@CarlD2]

Thank you again. I love watching this. So many characters I've heard about but never seen before. The high gothic and camp of the Cortlandt scenes is riveting. What a treasure.

[@jchow5966]

I will never forget Sybil Thorn!!!!!

[@dquinn8344]

I thought she was hot as hell as a teen...

[@carterbentonjr399]

Neither will I. After AMC killed her off she went to Santa Barbara and then her Passions.

[@cindypruitt9534]

Thanks so much, It even has the original commercials, GREAT!

[@jchow5966]

I remember when Brook first showed up on AMC.

[@castlist3384]

One of the best things about AMC was that the characters were allowed to grow without sacrificing their true selves. By the mid/late 1980s, characters like Erica, Brooke, Devon, and NIna were allowed to mature as the decade progressed. Also, AMC cleverly laid the groundwork for its second decade with the multi-generational Cortlandt saga.

[@dquinn8344]

I remember watching this age 16...43 years went pretty fast...Looks unusual because the party was on film instead of video...

Agreed!

[@dquinn8344]

Loved it...A few different versions of it were done...All the versions were on a YT video a while back...

[@CRESCENTII1968]

god----I remember this whole plot line vividly

[@tammyramey]

Mark, to me, was Brooke's first love. Real, genuine love. I don't remember everything about their relationship...gee, this was 1980, I was about 14 in 1980. But Brooke deeply loved him. I don't really think Brooke had that deep, everlasting love again until she met Edmund, who was better suited for her. First, I think Mark always loved Ellen. Edmund deeply loved Brooke. Edmund and Mark reminded me of one another. They both, to me, stood out from the crowd. I think Edmund was the love that Brooke craved and deserved. Edmund was everything that Brooke got right about love, and Mark was everything that Brooke got wrong about love. Of course, Brooke herself sabotaged her perfect love with Edmund. Maybe she felt it would just eventually play out in the same way her loved for Mark played out. Again, I don't remember everything that happened with Mark/Brooke, but I do see a lot of 'sameness' in Edmund and Mark.

[@tammyramey]

@Adrienne Gurge Oh that's true for sure...she was fiercely independent...to the degree that sometimes, I don't believe Julia Barr played Brooke vulnerable enough. I mean, it's one thing to be independent, but sometimes Brooke was a downright shrew. And that's coming from a huge Brooke/Julia fan. However, I do believe Edmund was 'the one' for Brooke...she let him get away on purpose. Brooke said it herself to Tom. With Edmund, everything went 200 miles per hour. He was so complicated in Brooke's eyes. Brooke could't let Edmund hurt her in the way that Mark (and others) did. So she hurt him first. By the way, RIP John Callahan :(

[@alexandracruz1300]

tammyramey I think that Brooke had a strong love for Edmund and Tom but she kept circling Adam and going back to him in spite of the things that Adam did to her and others. I think her truest love was Adam.

[@jay1hi547]

This looks like an almost completely different AMC. I guess because I was born in December of 1980. I didn't start watching soaps with my mom until the late 80's around the time Gabrielle switched the babies on OLTL.

[@eddyspagetti9899]

its a trip to see the commercials for products that are loooong gone. sunrise coffee w/..chickory? wtf?

[@TheHotaling]

And like how they advertised aspirin for children back then.

[@MrCraigblaze]

@@TheHotaling This was BEFORE the Tylenol scare of 1982 too..

[@dquinn8344]

There was a coffee shortage in the early to mid 70s and they jacked the prices up...That was when they started advertising chickory. They also used it during the depression... Also the one pound coffee cans got smaller at that time...

[@6828Lu]

This is so wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Devon was so pathetic! Mooning after Dan Kennicott, and then having an affair with Sean Cudahy. Wally was no hot catch, but he's sure a better man than Sean. I love seeing Palmer so deranged about Daisy.

[@MrCraigblaze]

Was that before his twin brother Adam ?? XD

[@cullbill]

I was so glad when they’d film on location at Waveny House in New Canaan, CT, still could hear a little of her southern accent.

[@metalheart2123]

Were the indoor scenes also shot at Waveny House?

[@MrCraigblaze]

@@metalheart2123 Is that where it was filmed ?? It is only a hop skip and a jump from NYC !! XD

[@metalheart2123]

@@MrCraigblaze Yup

[@makeittrue]

I know Sybil was underhanded in sleeping with Cliff when he had been rejected by Nina. However, Sybil was a somewhat pathetic character. Early on when she saw that Cliff was falling for Nina, she expressed her bitterness about her life to Betsy. She had grown up in poverty versus how Nina was so wealthy and could have anything she ever wanted. Nina even had Cliff's attention while she was pushed aside. I like how Brooke was after Mark Dalton during this time. I got to meet Mark LaMura (Mark Dalton) several years ago. He told me that working on AMC during this time period was really wonderful. As I recall, Mark was in love with Ellen and it was the age difference where the woman was older that was the big issue. Understandable about Donna's anxiety when Chuck starts dancing with Tara. I don't know in the end what happened when Tara (Mary Lynn Blanks here, the one replacement of many) was finally written out for good. She kept popping up in the 80s and Chuck always was drawn to her.

[@MrCraigblaze]

No wonder why Linda Gibbanny got tired of Soap opera acting ?? XD

[@dquinn8344]

They made Ellen an "older woman" to Mark but she was only 2 years older than him in real life...

[@idiosyncraticparadise1655]

I was born on This day. One year later

[@heula1]

Classic Palmer!

[@PavedParadise]

Ellen is with her son-in-law, Wally. I think Susan Lucci was on maternity leave during this period. Tom and Brooke start to fall for each other, and then Erica comes back to mess it up for a while.

[@davidbrunson8887]

that is exactly rightsode coz I recall in the explosive December 1979 episode of the bc pills bust that took place in Toms office at the Goalpost, SL was in the final stages of her pregnancy with Andre you could see how her face had been bigger. so this was her maternity leave

[@stevendreifach7737]

I figured he had some kind of mathematical know-how. The show never focused on his professional activities other than mentioning he owned an electronics company. Once his company had problems and he had to take boarders into the mansion (Edna & daughter).

[@sheilagrant2583]

This must have been on when I went back to work because I never saw these episodes but I did stop watching this in '70s almost a year after it came on the air my favorite show until Erica's daughter got to go over the whole show that got on my nerves stop watching it

[@stevendreifach7737]

I think Palmer does the crazy scene well, building in the likelihood that at the party, he'd had a few drinks by then. The actor playing him had been an internationally known ballet dancer, which you might see from the way he moves around, and he actually balances his weight to show him barely holding back the Doberman from running toward its prey.

She killed Eddie Dorrance in a murder mystery, and seemed content to let someone innocent take the rap. Eventually the police chased her car off a bridge and she confessed to the murder before she passed away.

[@a.b.s_productions]

Perhaps it's just me, but ABC soaps seemed to have been more creative than CBS during this time. Look at this storyline here for example. I liked classic CBS soaps but ABC soaps had more fun storylines like this. NBC which just fell into 3rd place from spinning most the 70's at number 1 lost its edge quick by this decade.

[@mikemercado5223]

ABC owned all their soaps outright and had creative control...CBS soaps were old fashioned because Procter and gamble kept tight control of their shows

[@davidbrunson8887]

Since we won't see to0 many more episodes from year 1980. I'd like to know what stages of some of what was going on in the other characters life. Was Ellen Sheperd married to Mark Dalton yet? why did he escore Sybil Thorne there? was she just a friend or a date(back when ppl actually DATED)also what was going on with Ann Martin? Were she and Paul past the pain of losing Beth yet or was Ellen Sheperd still keeping him company? what was boy crazy Devon getting herself? And did this episode take place not long after Erica's disco closed down? guessing that only the goalpost part of the building was shown and that Brooke escorted Tom to Nina's party, I'd say Erica had went to Holywood by now to audition for a role in the movie Brandon Kingsley had to produce(Brandon may not have been a character yet)Im sure things were still strained between the Cudahy's from the fiasco of the birth control decit of 2 months before.
