This is Edwyn Sanchez's S.A.U. Team bringing you another rarity from our Sanchez/Caputo Television Vault. Not too long ago, we found another VHS tape with some content on it, and we found this as well. This is what has been recorded from that tape. We are pleased to tell you that this is from an episode of our hit S.A.U. FANFICTIONAL soap opera "Solitaire" broadcast on the 6th of April of 1987.
WEEKLY RECAP:
According to what we have in our sources of information, this is what happened on Solitaire during the week of this episode:
1. Stephen gets a taste of Karma from a fresh-out-of-prison Greta. He came home drunk and started insulting her and attacking her until she punched him real hard and started torturing him in order to make him realize that if he does not want to get his skull bashed, then he better respect the lady.
2. The Browns find out that Crystal is pregnant. For Keith and the siblings, it is a moment of support. But for Danna, it's a disgrace and she then tries to force Crystal to abort that baby or else she will be disowned. Crystal is yet to make a decision
3. Cheryl hosts a graduation party for Jack and many of the famous faces in Pennsylvania have been invited. But don't think that it will all be charms and laughs. Some drama is about to plague in as Donna Marie is planning real hard on exposing Cheryl's entire money scam/ripoff experiment.
4. Brenda Lee finally meets her stalker, but the reunion is not what they were both expecting. They end up getting trapped in an elevator of the Normandy-Baccara Hotel. At this point, Brenda Lee fears for her life as her luck has been useless these past few weeks.
5. Thorne has been plotting against the Great Cavaliers gang after they trashed his apartment down in Bedford Square. Thorne thinks that the only way to make them realize that they're messing with the wrong man is to destroy something that they cherish. He's already managed to kill their leader, Rita and he has also blown up their undercover headquarters [the explosion seen in this video], but now, who knows if he'll
be able to get rid of them completely for good.
ABOUT THE CLOSING CREDITS:
Instead of the regular vocal or instrumental theme song, The closing credits of this specific episode were accompanied by the cover version of Jennifer Rush's "The Power of Love" sung by Laura Branigan. The song was the love theme for Thommy and Mary-Alice. Aside from that one, the show also used other Laura Branigan songs for their credits from time to time.
QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT:
We would like to shoutout to @VaultMasterDBT as he deserves credit and the appreciation from us for the fictional ABC voiceover heard on the closing credits.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. Such a dark & interesting storyline. I wonder who survived the expl0sion & who didn't. Also, I'm glad you chose "The Power of Love" as Mary-Alice & Thommy's love theme. As much as I adore the much well known version made famous by Céline Dion, it paled in comparison to Laura Branigan's rendition. It is what it is. Thanks so much for taking us on a wild, nostalgic trip down Charlestonville memory lane! 👍🏻❤ I have a couple of super interesting questions for you. What are your thoughts on #Neighbours making Daytime Emmy history as the first non-American soap opera to be nominated for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series? & would you please consider doing closing excerpts for the original #AQuestForLove for the week of September 9-13, 1991?
It was a tough storyline to follow as it all began with Thorne having some type of undisclosed relationship with the leader of the Great Cavaliers. The relationship ended up being a farse with the leader wanting to scam Thorne out of $5,000. Who knew that 6 years later, she would come back to haunt him until he pays her off. To scare him even more, she sent her bikie friends to burn down his and Mitch's childhood home down to the ground. The pay-off never happened and instead, he ended up killing the leader of the Great Cavaliers by pushing her off a five story building. When the gang learned about this, they went in to his condo and bashed the hell out of him. Afterwards, he decided that he wanted to get rid of them once and for all, so he went in in secret and messed around with the air and gasoline of the place, and just like that, the Great Cavaliers' headquarters were destroyed with one boom. It has been speculated that the entire bikie group was killed by it, but it was never revealed at all. The rest, as one would say, is history. Also, I'm gonna be honest, I enjoy both Laura and Jennifer's rendition of P.O.L.. The folks of the show really wanted to use the original rendition by Jennifer Rush, but then we realized that Laura was also a singing legend, so then decided to have Laura's cover be it. And of course, she is one of the stars of the show, but she was on the main billing because of her MAJOR involvements. Thanks for enjoying this small trip down the days of the fictional town of Charlestonville, Pennsylvania.
To answer your first question, I think that it's a dream come true. It is about time that the Aussie soap world got more recognition in the American TV industry. Recognition of the kind goes back to the days of #PrisonerCellBlockH. I wish them the very best and hope that the NATAS and the Blue Ribbon Panel can come to their senses and forget about #GeneralHospital for once and think about #Neighbours for a while. To answer your second question, I'll see what we can do about that. It's not easy trying to make it happen, but if we end up doing it, I know for a fact that we'll do our best.
I just figured out that the title of your fictional soap was taken from Laura Branigan's song of the same name. You must be a major fan. :)
Great work on this! Ed Jordan's voice seems so natural here. You wouldn't know it was AI generated! The fictional "Local Heroes" special was envisioned by me as one of those summer pilots than ran in the '80s that was often already passed over for series status by the network. Given that this airdate was April 6th, I can adjust this and say that ABC was trying out the pilot for possible inclusion as a series on the fall 1987 schedule. (Who knows how long this show would have lasted, though, since Matuszak died in 1989 and Alzado, in 1992.)
Thanks! I am a big fan of Laura Branigan.
In my POV, "Solitaire" would air sometime after "Ryan's Hope" from 1983 to 1986 until "Loving" came in and moved to a different time. After "Loving", "Solitaire" would be next.
Here's a little something about my fictional character Thommy. In the series finale in 1990, he would then move to Pine Valley to continue with his life after the death of his wife Mary-Alice.
@@EdwynNSanchez I figured that in your alternate universe, Ryan's Hope and Loving led into Solitaire on the ABC daytime lineup. Was Solitaire a half hour? What accounted for the show ending in 1990? Low ratings?
Given Agnes Nixon's involvement as a head writer, I'm not surprised that a character from this soap went over to AMC. :)
@@VaultMasterDBT - Yes, it was a half-hour show. It was indeed going through a tough time in ratings by that time leading ME to put an end to the story before ABC thought about axing it. But in our alternate universe, it won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series instead of Santa Barbara.
@@EdwynNSanchez Ha, well, it sounds like Solitaire had a cult following despite a ratings struggle. I mean, if it aired opposite Y&R, the competition was tough. Sometimes producers know when to wrap things up before the network has their say.
@@VaultMasterDBT - Hehehe. You said it! I tell you, Solitaire is the MOST recognized soap out of ALL of the ones produced by Sanchez/Caputo.
