Producers pick their show's finest moments
Soap Opera Digest, 1986	Home   Cette page en Français

In the August 14, 1984 edition of Soap Opera Digest, we asked executive producers from the soaps to pick their show's finest moments. We felt it was time again to ask the top execs at each show which moment was their favorite and why.

Mary-Ellis Bunim : executive producer, Santa Barbara

It's so difficult to choose one moment from more than 260 episodes and identify it as the finest, as I've been blessed with a wonderfully talented cast and creative staff who deliver consistently terrific work. If I must be pinned down, two events where production, performance and lighting melded to achieve outstanding results were :

1) The Cruz and Eden proposal scene, shot on location, which was a beautifully directed, warm, funny, sexy, sequence between A Martinez and Marcy Walker.

2) Our recent Christmas show, where Mason dreamed he was Scrooge and vowed to mend his way. The concept, script (by Chuck Pratt Jr.), performance (by Lane Davies), and technical execution produced one of our finest hours yet.
