Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willie Oleson" data-source="post: 40197" data-attributes="member: 8">As if being trapped inside a fake-house in the middle of nowhere wasn't horrific enough.Unlike most soap characters who were magically rescued from an inferno, Karen was literally chased by the fire, and the situation looked pretty grim imho.They squeezed every opportunity out of this one, there's absolutely nothing more they could have done.Fascinating indeed, and modern too, considering that this was an episode from 1986. It's quite sarcastic, a line I would have expected from a character like L.A. Law's Ann Kelsey.I'm not suggesting that this scene was an historical moment in serialized tv drama, though it makes me wonder if there was a time that the classic soap genre started to outgrow itself. And if it did, it had to start somewhere - with something. I'm probably reading too much into it.</blockquote>
