I can't find it, six, but JarlenaFan on youtube has a lot of Roman and Diana clips. I'm not as familiar with their timeline.
LOL, I just came back over to say I think I found the set of vids its in. Thanks for looking. :)
So they had the scenes just before the dance, (it was Frankie and Jennifer's prom), but none of the dance itself. Oh well.
Are they in order? I thought I saw one that looked like it was at a dance...
The videos I was looking at were from ClassicDaysof80s. I've narrowed down that it must have aired on June 12th '87. Aaand I've officially spent too much time on this.

Wow, some major Carrie dislike.

I also never see Carrie as a cheater attracted to married men. I see more in the vein that once she gets attracted to a men she tries to keep her feelings in check but ultimately fails. I never think its with malice or intent. I may be wrong, but I have always liked this character, so my opinion is clouded on this.

AND god I hated TM's Carrie. All I saw were those "cray-cray" eyes that said I WILL burn bunnies...then I saw her on on some Lifetime TV movie as a psycho and yep....perfect character for her. It was some kick ass movie with Shannen Doherty I think...she would stalk her and try to become SD's character.

This is exactly what Alison Sweeney wanted. She wants everyone to put full blame on Carrie so Sami looks like a saint. Well, I understand Rafe and Carrie's attraction towards each other and I think Carrie has saved her brother in law Rafe from a lifetime of misery with her fat, selfish bitch of a sister.


Everyone is focused on what Carrie did in this posting because its a posting about the character Carrie. I don't think this is a part of A.S. big master plan.
if you continue to read my following post, you'll see my thoughts about Carrie and her flirtation with Rafe. I defend Carrie for more then one reason, not just because i hate Sami with a passion
Word. Give me Carrie over Sami anyday of the week.

Found it! And I was totally wrong about the event and the date, but who's keeping track? It was the park dance.



It's short, but I think this scene does a really good job of showing the DH/CC father daughter chemistry. CC did a good job of playing upset and it was just really sweet.

Her eyes didn't bother me, but her mouth did. It was weird. Her Carrie was a brat. While I didn't care for the actress, I did really like a lot of the scenes. FF to 5:00 and this is probably one of my favorite scenes.

LOL. Unfortunately most of my favorite CC scenes aren't currently online.

I also don't see Carrie as being attracted to married men. Mike wasn't married. And I still don't see her being particularly attracted to Rafe now, lol. I guess I'm supposed to, but I just don't.

I was never a big fan of Carrie, but I've really been liking her since she returned. Her faith in John and determination in proving him innocent was great to see, and she seems stronger than before. Also, I like that she doesn't trust Sami.

Carrie and Rafe actually don't seem like a bad couple- I think they make a HELL of a lot more sense than Sami/Rafe. I still would rather have Carrie and Austin be together, but Carrie and Rafe would be all right.

She didn't seem like Carrie to me at all. I remember watching and being like where did this chick come from? The actresses were just so different. I found the 'stand-in' pretty painful to watch at times.

Still can't find my favorite CC scenes, but this is one of the few scenes I did like during her last run.



There was one other really good one with Marlena before Sami showed up to her wedding to Austin.

And of course there's the classic...

^TANNER!....Marlena driving a jeep! MOLLY! WOW...it was like a huge flashback.

I admit I had a HUGE crush on ME back then.

The scenes were so good...and the sets...wow...the back alley...do they still use that?

There's one scene I never saw, but just heard about - where Carrie lets little Will fall off a bridge. It would have been around the time that Carrie had him a lot because people thought he was Austin's. Does anyone remember that?

Carrie has never illicited much emotion from me one way or another. In truth, I probably rooted against her many times because back in the day, I always wanted Sami's schemes against her to work. Not because I was wanting Sami to win necessarily, but because I would want to see the smackdown between the two.

Having said that, the idea of Carrie stealing Sami's husband kind of makes me smile. Turn about and all. Now I don't find Cafe the least bit interesting or "hot" or appealing but ANYTHING is a step up from Safe.

As to Caustin, meh, que sera, sera. Muldoon would be better with another actress anyway and they've been off screen so long that I don't hold any hopes for their marriage to last.

Lysie, when are we going to get to talk about the REAL characters here?? Henderson, Mary, Ross??

Carrie was never a favorite of mine but she was always an important foil for Sami; the perfect swan to her ugly duckling sister. I didn't realize the importance of this character juxtaposition until Carrie left in 2006 and Sami made her journey to useless heroine.

I wasn't particularly excited for Carrie's return but since she has been back I feel like CC has an easy gravity with her character and that she is never trying too hard to be Carrie. As much as I like Cafe because I feel like Rafe actually has a character in town whom he identifies with, I really have liked the relationship of Carrie and Austin and I like that they discuss working on their relationship and the day to day difficulties. Now the recent slapstick 'hot office' Cafe stuff was really bad but I digress.

Caustin aren't stellar but I feel like they are a much needed solid couple on this show.

I surprised to say that I am really enjoying Carrie this go around.

I used to love Andrea Barber and the short-haired blonde girl who played her as a young adult in the 90's. Carrie is a great character, just not when CC is portraying her. She's just not a very good actress. Her endless pausing mid word is frustrating to watch making me disinterested in all of her scenes.
The short-haired blonde(wish I knew her name) who initiated the whole Carrie/Austin story was so adorable when she'd blush at the sight of Muldoon. Days really should've kept her on.
