OLTL should have never killed off the character of Maria in the summer of 1987. She did a great job with this part and because Cord was becoming such a cental character it was a mistake to take her off. Also, it didn't make sense to do so because Dorian had just left the show and they need another antagonist.
This is a hoot. Maria's just crazy! It's a good kind of soap crazy. She also makes it very believable, especially the always being a victim, and the random outbursts of anger.
@dereka79 And the shock on John Loprieno's face as he realizes just how sick his mother is is heartbreaking. So, MANY amazing actors on this show at the time, unlike now.
I saw Maria’s death 32 years ago &,always wondered WHY? I watched the show until 2012, but still wondered WHY this helps an 8 year olds questions at 40 lol.
Hey! Maria's death happened, Because she tried to Kill Tina by injecting a needle with poison in it, into Tina to Kill her. Instead Maria Plan Backfired, Maria was injected with the needle accidentally, When Tina and Maria was Tousling in Maria's living room in her Hotel room.
Barbara Luna was great as Maria. Too bad they let her go after only a year or so. I think she should've been kept on because (1.) she was good in the role (2.) Cord was becoming such a main character on the show.
i want see the clip at court .. I remember Maria slapped Tina and Viki defended her ..Larry had to separate the two .. and that when Viki told Cord about his mother .it was great..... leading to this scene
@petercox9 so the actors didnt get along thats why she was let go? really? i never knew that... i agree it was a big mistake killing her off, that was such a great character... i LOVED how when she talked, in between her words she took these quick, exasperated sigh/breathes... (for example: 1:59 ) that always tickled me! lol
@petercox9 wow...i had no idea... but its not (sadly) uncommon...ive heard thats why victoria rowell cant come back to Y&R, and a few other stories of actors having that kinda power to get rid of a fellow actor... its sad when people cant just be professional and not let their personal issues affect the show...anyway im with you the maria vs. tina/viki rivalry was some of the best story to come out of OLTL in the 80s...
Hey VickRobCal - do you have the scenes where Alyson Perkins takes the kidnapped baby (was it Jessica?) to her Mother - she was dressed as a candy striper? Or better yet, the courtroom scenes that happened before this when Maria slaps Tina and Viki tell Cord everything?? Thanks for the uploads - OLTL has never been as good as it here.
@petercox9 that's not my point. Peter peter pumpkin eater, soap operas are not just supposed to be about wealthy ppl and pretty looks. That stuff is not true. It's supposed to be about family and human relationships. Sex should only be used once in awhile to move along a story or just if a married couple are in the mood. If ppl want sleaze, and we do, we just go out and make our with men(there's gay ppl everywhere, more bis than anything)
@petercox9 Well Victoria was actually DT's best asset. Y@R has stunk up the Winters clan since. Not to mention there's no diva or even anyone interesting to watch. Marcus Patrick is a sight for sore eyes but he's already proven he's only good as a model...not an actor(2 soaps fired him so far)
@GETOSUPASTAR okay no more talk about Y@R, interracial storylines and thinking it's all Vicki Rowell's fault and no more talks about sex. Let's talk about OLTL in 1987 or go somewhere else.
@petercox9 well if you take a listen to the interview he admited that he DID try to take a stand to bring her back but the EP basically told him that there were other actors on the show (3 to be specific) that pretty much said if she comes back they would leave...and Kristoff spoke out in a previous interview and he was "punished" by having his storyline back burnered...but anyway I hear what you're sayin and dont totally disagree but this was outta his hands. VR pissed alot people off @ "Y&R"!
@petercox9 you should look up on here the interview that kristoff & darius did on the jamiee foxx radio show, victoria called in to the show and called him out...its very scandlous (and im with you with marcus patrik...he woulda been perfect)
@GETOSUPASTAR Looks have nothing to do with being on a soap opera. Marcus Patrick stunk twice. And you know what they say about 3 strikes. He just needs to stick with his modeling. Which anybody can pretty much do...
@GETOSUPASTAR It doesn't matter. Kristoff can walk away from Y@R. He doesn't need that kinda crap. Y@R needs to watch it or it's gonna be shipped up and boxed off just like the other CBS soaps. Y@R has lost more than 3 quarters of it's fans. And 3 AA actors is not nearly enough. Who gives a fuck about Christel Khalil and Michelle Stafford, if they wanna go, say cest la vie. Rowell is the only reason that show thrived after 1990 and off and on in the 2000's.
Crazy !!
John Loprieno is heartbreaking. Always took his acting for granted. BarBara Luna’s Maria is absolutely unhinged.

"Cord I'm not insane! I AM NOT INSANE CORDDD!!! 😡 I’M NOT! " Maria is a marvel! 😂 Definitely one of the all time best soap psychos!
This lady did crazy well😥
This is a hoot. Maria's just crazy! It's a good kind of soap crazy. She also makes it very believable, especially the always being a victim, and the random outbursts of anger.
Barbara Launa as Maria, was probably one best villaneous on the shows.. They just don't write characters like that anymore...
Yes, and it was disappointing that they choose to kill her character off.
Great Show
And really good acting
You can see the pain in cord's face!
@dereka79 And the shock on John Loprieno's face as he realizes just how sick his mother is is heartbreaking. So, MANY amazing actors on this show at the time, unlike now.
Its nice seeing Marcia on the right side of sanitiy.

Oh my God! I forgot how delusional Maria was!
How I wish Maria was back on the show now. That was one crazy bi-otch, and Barbara Luna played it to the hilt!!!
Barbara Luna was great as Maria. Too bad they let her go after only a year or so. I think she should've been kept on because (1.) she was good in the role (2.) Cord was becoming such a main character on the show.
i want see the clip at court .. I remember Maria slapped Tina and Viki defended her ..Larry had to separate the two .. and that when Viki told Cord about his mother .it was great..... leading to this scene
Check out Clint & Viki's love story #221... That scene is there...
@@martinvaughn2138 awesome ...thanks
No problem.. Clint & Viki love story takes you through years of clips.. Its awesome
Maria is nuts! ROFL! Good stuff! :)
Cord: Maw maw maw!
Love it! :)
Maria and Cord seems like mother and son
@Richieygrl lol "bat shyt crazy hu ?"
@petercox9 so the actors didnt get along thats why she was let go? really? i never knew that... i agree it was a big mistake killing her off, that was such a great character... i LOVED how when she talked, in between her words she took these quick, exasperated sigh/breathes...

Maria should have been locked up

Cords mamma was crazy, lol
Yes, she was! Maria was insane! But funny!
Yes, too funny!
Hey VickRobCal - do you have the scenes where Alyson Perkins takes the kidnapped baby (was it Jessica?) to her Mother - she was dressed as a candy striper?

Boy-- the comments on this FANTASTIC clip are polluted with some nonsensical conversation about Y&R and racism... Anyway to delete them??
Great Scene between Cord and Maria, great acting

@GETOSUPASTAR a hot model does not make a good actor. Only somebody who can nail their scenes.
@GETOSUPASTAR It doesn't matter. Kristoff can walk away from Y@R. He doesn't need that kinda crap. Y@R needs to watch it or it's gonna be shipped up and boxed off just like the other CBS soaps.

@petercox9 but he's not a good actor. Pleasing on the eyes yes, but a horrible actor.
