I made a point to get the last 2 months of AW on tape as soon as I found out it was ending. However, I managed to get 1 full episode of the Lumina Ball at the end of one of those tapes (along with a partial ep of Days). The episode in question is the one where Lila, while trapped in the elevator with Matt, gives birth to Jasmine and Cass is on top of the elevator car and everyone is trying to save them and Lila keeps slipping in and out of conciousness and then they're saved but the elevator closes and the baby disappears. OMG! I know this episode aired over 3 years ago, but I just could help but become emotional due to Lisa Peluso's amazing performance. I know full well that Lila lived and married Cass in the finale, but I was just on the edge of my seat and near tears through the entire thing! This all brings me to my point (finally lol). When the Lumina storyline first started, I was very intregued and thought it held such promise. However, once it deteriorated into 200 year old Jordan Stark obessessing over Amanda as the reincarnation of his beloved Amilie, I got over it. I think this storyline could have been saved if they'd avoided the supernatural aspects and made Jordan Stark an alias for someone with a major vindetta against the Corys (or maybe Rachel in particular) that wound up going after everyone else because they got in his way. What if Jordan Stark had turned out to be an unknown son of Steve Frame (maybe from the period between the helicopter crash and his return in the early 80s). What if he blamed Rachel for Steve's death? What if Jordan Stark were really working for Iris? Wouldn't that have lead to a much more satisfying storyline? I just think that Lumina as a whole could have been very compelling if handled differently. Matt S. producer/writer, For Now and Forever prepare to get addicted! the classic soap opera forum

The Lumina storyline did become somewhat idiotic in the end (to this day, my sister can not watch David Andrew MacDonald who played Jordan Stark because she associates him more with the character and what she considers the demise of the show). I just loved Lisa Peluso's Lila, the character was an interesting one right from the beginning! BTW, great board! Caragh ~I used to have a handle on life, but it broke~
