One Life to Live
by Agnes Nixon
In a 1988 plot line (“Buchanan City”), Clint ends up back in 1888 where he falls in
love and is betrothed to Viki’s look-alike ancestor Ginny!
Apart from Dark Shadows (which, as we all know, was more than a soap opera), this is the first time travel that I’ve spotted in a soap.
Ginny: I was staring up at the night sky trying to find that
extra planet that you claimed was there when I was giving the children their astronomy
lesson today.
Clint: Why can’t you just take my word for it?
Ginny: Because brilliant scientists have studied the heavens and deduced that there are only a certain number of planets in our solar system—eight, just eight. And then you come along and throw the whole system out of question!
