From Soap Opera Digest June 03, 1986
Can we talk? Every day I tune in to
watch this show that has the courage to
call itself a soap opera. In one scene, I
saw this dirty blond, Gina Capwell, sleep
with her stepson, poison his food with
lighter fluid, call one of her
stepdaughters a slut and try to set the
other daughter up for murder by
dressing up as a Capwell daughter and
pulling the plug on her comatose
husband, C.C. Then I watched in
despair as this daddy's little girl, the
selfish and spoiled Eden, moped around
the family mansion while being used and
abused by her arrogant and slimy
husband, Kirk. Let's not forget
everyone's favorite nymphomaniac,
Kelly, who was engaged to turtle-brained
photographer Nick, while being lusted
after by the obsessed brother, Dylan. I
had to sit with a gun pointed to my head
when the black sheep of the family,
Mason, hatefully blurted out his crude,
rude and oh-so-intelligent remarks about
his siblings, stepmothers and father.
Let's not forget that drippy Santana
Andrande, who walked around town
crying, "I want Brandon back," for what
seemed an eternity. With all of these silly
people, and crazy story lines, one would
think a person would be crazy to watch
Santa Barbara. Guess what? I must be
crazy, because I adore this wacky show!
