A clip of the 1988 Emmy Awards, where Santa Barbara took home the Best Daytime Drama Award for the first time. Bridget Dobson accepts the award for the show she created.
Bridget and jerry dobson deserved every moment of this...think about it ..they were locked out and black listed yet the emmys still couldnt deney thier stellar work...bravo!!!!
It should have won every year it aired. It was a fantastic show, with unforgettable characters and stories. It was worlds apart from all other daytime shows at that time. It is sorely missed.
A Martinez & Bridget did not hug - looked like no love lost as she hugs Marcy but walks right by A, BUT Jill Farren & A give each other a huge hug. Interesting...
Also, at this year's (and the following year's) - you see Robin Mattson give JFP a huge hug and coax her to go up on stage bc much of what won SB their Emmy was JFP's show running. And, JFP was a former GH staffer who was responsible for bringing Robin Mattson over to SB to replace Linda G as GINA.
How?!? It was because of Phelps that Cruz and Eden finally got married. That was NEVER going to happen under the Dobsons who were against an interracial couple
I love it! She and Jerome should never have been locked out of the show (literally locked out of the building) they created. Travesty!!! I'm so glad she got to accept that award that year.
Love the Dobsons and all, but Bridget made this speech all about herself and her family. Gotta love the look on Jill Farren Phelps face. She did not look happy one bit. Wonder if the behind the scenes turmoil led to the demise of the show. I will say that from 1985 to 1988 (maybe 1989), "Santa Barbara" absolutely was the best show on daytime television.
@Donna L. Bridges Although its hypothetical, let's say that the Dobsons were never kicked out and never left the show. I believe that JFP was already one of the producers of the show at the time the Dobsons were executive producers and head writers. Does Santa Barbara have more success, less success, or the same success that they ultimately had?
@Donna L. Bridges You skirted around the question. I'll give you my answer. When the Dobsons got kicked out, that hurt the show. A new head writer was brought in (her name escapes me right now LOL!). There were new characters brought in that some, if not many, fans didn't exactly love. There was less emphasis on the Lockridge family as a whole. I thought the best years were 1985 and 1986. The show was still good in 1987 and 1988. Full disclosure, I happen to be a big fan of Lane Davies as "Mason" and to me, he carried the show just as much, if not more, than A and Marcy did. When Lane left in 1989, that was the beginning of the end for the show. Again, this is just my opinion, and would love to know what you think.
@Donna L. Bridges Yes I do remember the short lived shows that Lane did after Santa Barbara. I believe there were actually two different shows and one of them was on FOX in the early 1990's. He was just simply a terrific actor and nailed the part of "Mason" like no one else could ever do. Terry Lester and Gordon Thomson were no slouches. They were both accomplished actors, yet could never hold a candle next to Lane as Mason. Oh, I loved Robin Wright as well. Her leaving the show was bittersweet because you knew you would miss her as Kelly, but also very happy that she could pursue her movie career. Do you agree that when Lane Davies left, that started the downfall of the show? As far as the Kim Zimmer and Sydney Penny stuff, I had already checked out by then. I didn't like the John Conboy era prior to the Pam Long and Paul Rauch era, as it was.
@Donna L. Bridges I have lingering questions too. Maybe we can help each other out LOL! Hmmm a red head?? I don't know but I'll throw out a couple of guesses. Could it be Jane Sibbitt who played "Jane" on SB, or maybe the lovely actress who played "Lauren Fenimore" on Y&R? So, here is my question for you : Do you remember who killed Mark McCormick? As a follow up, was the killer the same person who tried to frame Mason? Thanks luv!
@Donna L. Bridges Do you still watch episodes of SB on TH-cam ? I tried buying DVD's years ago but got scammed on Ebay about 15 years ago so not going that route again.
U can tell bridget a diva love her .bridget if on some random day your bored and look at this i want to thsnk you for santa barbara it gave me someting to look forward to in very difficult times and it was never the same after nbc did you and jerry wrong!!!!!....thank u mam!!
On episode 460. How was this show not number 1!!! Thank God for TH-cam or I'd have never been able to see this series. It was my mom's favorite other than days.
Sooooo deserving!! This show was good from the start in 84 apsoulotley gold in 85 and 86 preety good in87 and88 then apsoulotley unwatchable !! I've never seen another show nose dive so fast!!
@@auntiechercher4266 I live in Canada for the first 2 years we only got it at midnight I loved it it was so nice and quiet!!!it was like my little secret then they started playing it in the daytime and it blew GH out of the water second only to another world!!!;
@@HR-rl4ke Yes, I know what you mean. I kept watching it even in 1990 - when it really started to wane, because I had been intrigued when it was so good, but then it was never the same (the acting and the story-lines). It was such a shame. But while it was good, it was like no other! (Robin Mattson was one of the best the show had)!
That's because in 1990 a guiding light writer took over (cant think of her name) took Kim Zimmer with her and they both destroyed the show. Idc what anyone says Kim zimmer is a horrific actress and everything she touches turns to shit.
@@paulcarucci7936 I get your frustration with Kim Zimmer but I have always appreciated her craft. The writer was Pamela Long Hammer. Believe it or not, when she wrote Texas back in the day, it was outstanding. But too late, it got cancelled anyway. Sad that she never brought that talent to another show, including my beloved Guiding Light.
Praticamente, un covo di vipere, vedere certi attori premiati , ma non Lane Davies, è proprio una grande ingiustizia, Lane era il migliore in tutto 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Interestingly The Dobsons Wrote For General Hospital In The Early 1970s Until They Went To Guiding Light. The Dobsons Did A FANTASTIC Job On Guiding Light And As The World Turns As Well. I Liked Santa Barbara And The Years For SB From 1984 to 1987..... After That Santa Barbara went downhill. With Anne Howard Bailey, Chuck Pratt, Josh Griffith, Bob Guza Writing, Brian Frons At NBC Daytime, Jill Farren Phelps, Paul Rauch Later = A Total HOT Mess. No Wonder Why Santa Barbara Was In Trouble Between 1988 to 1993.
A pity. When Pam Long, someone said she ruined Santa Barbara, eventually started writing Texas, after playing a character on the show, it got as good as a soap can get. I loved it so much. Unfortunately it was too late to save it. I was so excited when she was hired to write for my favorite, Guiding Light...but was quickly disappointed.
Obviously a Martinez was a Phelps supporter seeing how Bridget shaded him!! And Phelps couldn't kiss him enuf .you go Bridget u gave him the job!!! Marcy clapped a looked like a spoiled child!!
Well considering Bridget was a racist who didn't want a Mexican to be with a WASP she had some nerve-shading somebody. A and Marcy had to fight for Cruz/Eden to be together under the Dobson's. It's possible Phelps was more supportive
Im ediding this a bit ...ive watched pharren phelps in locher room...ya i dont agree with alot she did...but hearing her side ...i like her more...keep an open mind oeiple..in retrisoect aw was great under her!!
@@rahelhorvat1471 Unfortunately, it was too late by then. The show went downhill starting in 1988 and Lane Davies leaving for good was the final nail in the coffin.
it soo funny now JFP now at Young and The Restless and Steve Kent runs Sony which produces Young Restless along with the Bell Family talk about blast from the past
Lane Davies,Jad Alan,Harley Kozak,Robin Mattson,Justin Deas, Nicolas Costner are the best.I stopped to watch this show after Mary's death.Why didn't Lane receive an Emmy?
@juniorz1 Yes I know about that, I read that interview too but I think that the people or judges of Emmy could nominate him couse he deserved to have an Emmy too, at least an Emmy. It was really very unjustice that he left without it.
Bridget and jerry dobson deserved every moment of this...think about it ..they were locked out and black listed yet the emmys still couldnt deney thier stellar work...bravo!!!!
Amazing to think "what could have been" if the Dobsons had never been locked out in the first place.
From 84 till 88 best show ever!!!!!!!!
Boy, you could hear the love when it got to Santa Barbara!
I noticed that too. Were there fans at the event? SB definitely got the loudest applause.
It should have won every year it aired. It was a fantastic show, with unforgettable characters and stories. It was worlds apart from all other daytime shows at that time. It is sorely missed.
Classic
A daytime soap unlike any other
Your opinion!! It lasted only 9 years it wasn't words apart !! Nice try though! GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS 15 BEST DRAMA EMMYS!!!
@@justinnelson3766 yeah really bad 👎
It really was a great show
Say what you will about the producers, the cast of Santa Barbara certainly got along with each other. Look at those hugs!
A Martinez & Bridget did not hug - looked like no love lost as she hugs Marcy but walks right by A, BUT Jill Farren & A give each other a huge hug. Interesting...

MY FAVORITE DAYTIME SHOW LOVE SANTA BARBARA.......
My all time favorite soap!
Lane Davies did so much in this drama but they didnt give him a prize. It was so unjustice ((
Qumru Samedova Oh, I so agree.
I believe that he never wanted his name submitted for Emmy consideration. He would have cleaned up...
@@muscled57 .. I agree. Lane Davis is Top Notch!
Only thing missing was Bridget Dobson not punching Phelps in the face for ruining her baby!!
What did she mean by they locked her out of the studios?
Oh, and I hate JFP. Absolutely loathe her
@@amymaclean7586 she said in one show that it was her idea to put Cruz and Eden togheter, lol.
How?!? It was because of Phelps that Cruz and Eden finally got married. That was NEVER going to happen under the Dobsons who were against an interracial couple
@@rahelhorvat1471 It’s true. C/E finally got married because of Phelps.
@3:24 look at the shade Bridget threw to JFP! Epic.
I love it! She and Jerome should never have been locked out of the show (literally locked out of the building) they created. Travesty!!! I'm so glad she got to accept that award that year.
You have got pause it to get the full effect. JFP looked scared shitless. LOL
marcy is beautifull and i love when she's kiss A martinez!!!!ADORABLE
that soo funny Jamey from daytime confidential com said Bridget ran up those stairs before Jill Farren Phelps could get the Emmy....that sooooo funny

I believe Chuck Pratt and Patrick Mulcahy started writing when the Dobsons were still Head Writers and Head Producers. I don't blame them at all.
The 1st of its 3 consecutive wins
Although to be fair, they should have won initially in 1987, because 1986 was its best year.
A pity. When Pam Long, someone said she ruined Santa Barbara, eventually started writing Texas, after playing a character on the show, it got as good as a soap can get. I loved it so much. Unfortunately it was too late to save it.

@@swimsis I thought making Cruz and Eden "star crossed" lovers was brilliant. Unfair to call Bridget what you did.

The cast looks happy and glad that Mrs. Dobson has the award, but then- executive producer JFP looks so upset and enraged!
Jilm pharen phelps destroyed the dobsons baby !!! She wrecked another workd as well thank god she didntast thier long!!!
JFP Also Ruined Guiding Light, Another World, One Life To Live, General Hospital and The Young And The Restless.
