Chemistry is the indefinable quality
between two actors that changes a
soap couple from being a mere
romantic twosome into becoming a
soap-opera legend...
Mason Capwell and Julia Wainwright
(Lane Davies and Nancy Grahn) of
“Santa Barbara” – Truly a soap couple
for the ‘80s, Mason and Julia are
intelligent, articulate and perfectly
matched as clever attorneys. The
thirtyish Julia, whose biological clock is
ticking loudly, initially picked Mason
only to father her out-of-wedlock child,
but now she’s falling love with him.
Grahn gives her character a fine touch
of vulnerability, which perfectly counters
the acerbic edge Davies so masterfully
gives to Mason, daytime’s own Addison
DeWitt.
