    OMG this was the story that I watched at age 9 that hooked me on soaps. I'm 38 now, with a masters degree --- people wonder who watches soaps --- um, educated people who love entertainment like this. God, Roger Thorpe was the BEST villain! Loved the whole kidnapping afterward ... good tv stuff.
