i wont deny she's a great actress, but buffy there wasn't enough acting to give her an emmy, it's not her fault the way the show was there wasn't moments like this they coudl give her the show was her just killing demons with some drama between her friends sadly that's not enough i mean i guess she could of got teen choice awards if that existed(don't know if it did or not

Sarah acted circles around some of the older actresses on this show.

[@gabrielsylvestre3708]

I don't care what anyone says, the 90s was the highest peak of entertainment period. Kendall and Erica's period were the highest periods of drama in the whole All My Children series,...(to me.) I used to think Kendall was the epitome of evil. I think that was Sarah Michelle Gellar's highest peak. Clocktower 3 PS2 / She reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor in this scene. / Dimitri reminded me of Duncan MacLeod from the Highlander series.

SMG was fantastic in this! I remember Michael Knight (Tad) saying on ET back in 2011 that he was amazed that Sarah had such balls as an actress at such a tender age! Something about that name Sarah and 90s ABC Soaps. Sarah Brown was also another new, young actress that took her show by storm in a similar role of Carly on GH. It was because of Sarah Gellar's and Sarah Brown's respective performances in originating their roles that made ABC feel these roles were vital to the canvas and needed to be recast. If lesser actresses performed these roles when they first began, once written out, the characters would've been forgotten. Bobby Martin, anyone?

Wonderful Susan Lucci and she played the hell out of this scene and should have won a Emmy for this 👍👍🤗🤗 luv ,luv her 😘

[@whitneydavis7443]

She wasn’t even nominated this year. The academy and voting panel were downright cruel to her.

[@LivingForTheJoker999]

Damn...miss soaps like these

[@JP-ks7ey]

the actor playing Richard fields I think did a great job on acting like he was having a heart attack

[@Shabooyah4]

The actor who played Anton was much weaker than his co-stars.

[@peachesj4748]

I couldn't stand Anton, the actor who played him, the character, his look, his voice. Dude really irritated me.

32:40 gotta love when their hair changes. Much have been a new filming day.

[@inlovewithmatthew4485]

This man was WEIRD, at his least offensive

[@travisjames3517]

Sadly, Mona and Fran Heflin died a few months later. 😪

[@charlenefipps3732]

SARAH IS SUCH A GREAT ACTRESS!

[@tjames9698]

What doesn't make sense is that when Eric returned in 1988-89, Mona had no problem with him and Write having a relationship.

[@tjames9698]

Erica, I mean.

[@greenlee7smythe]

that was Eric. this man is Richard fields. erica never told anyone, not even Mona, that her father set it up.

[@Pinkranger87]

​@@greenlee7smythe they had a change writers. But by the this storyline was happening Eric already abandoned Erica again.

[@blacdharma2381]

😂😂😂bruh when she pulled out that knife! I def was not expecting that. Go head grandma!!! Cut eem

[@brianhenson8083]

Go for it Mona!!!

[@StephaniePage-ss9nm]

Brian Henson yeah

[@laminage]

When I see this scene it reminds me of when Heaven Leigh Casteel found out about what happened to her late mother Leigh Van Voreen and her stepfather Tony Tatterton in the Casteel Series. Ava Peralta was very nasty to Olivia Spencer on Guiding Light and when she found out how she was conceived she was devastated but Olivia and Ava made peace.

When soaps were amazing and intense. I miss days like this where I would race home during college to watch then when I was working I would pre-record all my fave soaps and relax at night catching up on them! ❤

[@itsthatguy0]

Anyone else notice he locked the door twice?

[@kellyanderson7624]

No he didn't. The 2nd time was them reshowing it after a commercial

[@clhp5163]

greenlee7smythe I think he said "just have to think where to start". I think that's what he said.

[@jeanniearnold6726]

Omg! The Pinecone Motel! This is a blast! Watched from 1979 on
