Trivia:
After 8 seasons and the 1st 2 episodes of Season 9, Jane Wyman's health was in a crisis, so she had to leave the show knowing that she was following her doctor's advice. The doctor's told her that she would've either been paralyzed or had found dead, if she were to keep working, therefore, the producers put Angela in a coma, for almost the entire season. But came back (against her doctors advice) for the last three episodes and wrote an incredible soliloquy as to who left Tuscany Valley. moreQuotes:
Richard Channing Denault: Angela declared war on me before I even set foot in this valley. I'll tell you what I want. I want her head, and Chase's along side it! moreFAQ

I got hooked on this show after the first few years had passed. These nighttime soap operas were known for their season-ending cliffhangers and this one was no exception. The best seasons of the series were 1986-1989, when they experimented with a faster-paced style of storytelling that was quite smart and exciting. This had by far the best sense of humor of all the soaps and featured excellent acting from Jane Wyman, Ana-Alicia, David Selby and Susan Sullivan (now on "Dharma and Greg") Interesting note: during many of its later years, this show's music was composed by Mark Snow, who went on to do the famous "X-Files" theme and score. I wish they still showed reruns of this show somewhere!
