From Soap Opera Digest November 05, 1985
But too much money can just as easily
produce a bad apple as not enough of
it. Some people are just plain spoiled
rotten by riches, and grow up
expecting human relations to be
instantly rewarding to them as the
acquisition of a Renoir at an art
auction. LOVING's conniving cousins
Curtis and Lorna. GUIDING LIGHT's
Alan and Vanessa. GENERAL
HOSPITAL's Tracey Quartermaine,
ANOTHER WORLD's Donna and Iris,
AS THE WORLD TURN's Lucinda
Waish, SECRET STORM's Pauline,
WHERE THE HEART IS's Allison
Hathaway, RYAN's HOPE's Roger
Coleridge, and SANTA BARBARA's
Mason Capwell were all born with
shiny silver spoons in their bassinets.
Yet in some of the above cases, other
more complex reasons produced the
decencies these people committed.
Curtis was neglected by his jet-set
parents, and lacked a firm foundation
in solid values. Tracey idolized her
father, Edward, but was torn apart by
his refusal to see she could match his
savvy in the business world and
become more than an aging brat
drifting from husband to husband.
Mason and Roger, like ONE LIFE TO
LIVE's Brad Vernon, felt that they lived
in the shadow of an eminently
successful but aloof father. Pauline
was decimated by Peter Ames's
breaking of their engagement and
ensuing elopement with her younger
sister, Eileen. And Iris - well, she was
just unabashedly in love with her
daddy, Mac Cory.
