I watched OLTL for one reason, Judith Light😁. I remember every piece of dialogue of Karen's testimony even today after 40 years. Judith Light's performance earned her an Emmy for Best Performance by an Actress which she truly deserved. I cheered when she was announced the winner. Her performance was so riveting that the actors in the court scene were literally in tears even Erica Slezak as Viki. By far the Best acting performance in soap opera history. I was 22 at the time & OLTL was my favorite daytime soap. Bravo Judith Light for her heart wrenching acting performance that will NEVER be forgotten.😘😍😭

This scene (including the part before it) truly is one of the best pieces of daytime acting ever. Judith like was utterly convincing -- her hesitation, tears, blanching, and "imperfect" demeanor was utterly credible for what a woman like Karen might feel/experience under those circumstances and with her past. A classic TV moment...

This is an unbearably wrenching scene, even if one hasn’t seen the whole episode or the back story. This is a remarkable performance by a remarkable artist. The actor portraying the prosecutor gives an excellent performance too, a merciless antagonist. It’s a compelling two-hander…a classic cat and mouse…Kudos to both actors! If I might add, I notice that some commended the performance within the parameters of daytime drama. I think a good performance is a good performance irrespective of the medium. This performance breaks all boundaries-if it had been in a motion picture it likely would have garnered her an Oscar nomination if not the award itself.

I missed this scene originally when it aired. I was in high school at the time and was known to take blocks of days off... just because. The day I decided to make a guest appearance, this performance happened and I missed it and thankfully, by the power of KZbin, I can see it again and again and it's so powerful every time I see it. Then again, with a powerhouse like Judith Light, how can you go wrong. Oh, and now, besides trying to bring back One Life To Live, let's save DALLAS!

Man, I loved this episode! What a reveal! Soap Opera as it ought to be! Judith Light delivered one hell of a powerful performance! She was broken down on the witness stand, but she also was kicking butt and naming names! Talbot Huddleston, one of the most wealthy men in Llanview, had his reputation destroyed nice and proper and was also sent to the slammer! Good riddance to him! Also loved Reba McEntire's commentary! She had a lot of fun doing that.

I missed this episode because I was in the hospital and had been looking forward to it for so long. Judith is an amazing actress. I attended a soap fest in New York and got to meet her. Reba is the best female country artist of all time. Her show was very popular and enjoyed 6 seasons. It was not cancelled for a good reason. The network decided they wanted to change the theme of the network to teens, not adults. If not for that, the show could have gone on longer.
@ericandy88
@ericandy88 7 жыл бұрын
I think Reba's show also might have suffered from the WB's merger with UPN as CW. Any time that happens, shows are on the chopping block & are lucky to survive the transition. From what I remember, REBA's final season was a short one & there was no real finale to bring closure. But yes, the CW's main demographic appears to be teens & young adults now. Shows like REBA & 7TH HEAVEN would not get a fair shot these days.

As some have said, this was when many soaps still taped in New York & many of the actors had had stage training (Judith, especially). Nowadays, some might call this hammy or overdone, but not so sure if underplaying is now the thing. The difference between emotional acting like this & what goes on today is this has nuance. Perhaps reality TV has taken the, well, reality out of scripted acting.
