[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 444712, member: 673"] I recently watched the episodes surrounding the flood and I have to say, for an 80’s daytime soap that was on its last legs, it was really well done. There was the initial flood, where the entire rain soaked cast came together to secure the flood defences at the riverbank. Then there was the bursting of the dam (which I’m guessing was the tidal wave reference in the above ad), which washed the whole town and its residents to kingdom come. It was all quite dramatic without feeling ridiculously OTT. My one observation is Mary Stuart’s contribution to proceedings. I haven’t watched much [I]SFT[/I], so maybe it’s just her acting style, but I got a feeling of “[I]I’m going though the motions here because I have to, but I’m above this frivolous nonsense[/I]” from her performance. There was a rather half arsed “[I]Oh no![/I]” or something to that effect from her, when the dam burst and they were being engulfed by water and then she just kind of flapped about during her near drowning scene.
