Santa Barbara

Eden and Cruz's first romance when Eden believed it was she who had pulled the plug on her father's life support - but it was actually Gina! And Eden marrying Kirk, the preppy villain, because he pretended he knew her "secret." Marcy and A Martinez [Cruz] always knocked our socks off. The first leg of their romance was very magical, even though they stayed together for most of the show's run. Eden and Cruz's epic romance was the best thing about the show. Oh, and Carrington Garland as Kelly was fun to write for as well. I love it

Santa Barbara was one of the best soaps of all time. I was very sad to see it go. They made a mistake when they let Lane Davies walk away & when they changed writers. Another problem happened when both Marcy Walker & A Martinez(Cruz & Eden) left the show because they were the show. That would be like losing both Victor Neuman & Nicki Newman on Y&R! I think it was very sad that the producers/writers didn't try to revive the show because it was an awesome show & I still think of it now & again. All in all it was a one of a kind great show!!!moreless

I was hooked.. the writing of this show was fantastic at times! It could also be very camp, crazy and very funny.. dreamsequences, evil twins, people coming back from the dead, one character being played by three different actors, comas, murders, epic lovestories, CC Capwell, the man you love to hate, Gina, the woman you love to hate..

I particularly loved the dynamic of the Julia & Mason storyline, with of course Lane Davies as Mason Capwell.
These two had the best lines, tongue and cheek clever with a lot of wit !
They were hilarious! I agree with previous reviews; after Lane Davies left the shown it all went downhill and it never seemed to recover.. too bad..moreless

I started watching Santa Barbara with the Pilot, and I thought it was good. Over time, my love for the show could only grow. By the end of the first season, I was obsessed and tried to hook everyone I could find to watch with me. Everyone that agreed ended up loving the show, and their reasons were varied.
