Hey, that was a nice flashback of young Cass and big haired Frankie:) Nice
touch of the writers to actually go back and dig up a real old
conversation between the two of them, and not create a fake 'flashback'. I
didn't know the current IIC even watched old tapes of the show:) How old
was that clip anyway?

Wasn't that a kick? I loved it - they were so young and had such a
lot of hair <G> It's amazing that they did that clip to show that she
said the same thing back then. I wonder how they ever knew that - did
they ask either she or Cass if they could remember a line they could
incorporate now? Seems an imposibility to have tried that cold. At any
rate, it was nice and kinda fun wasn't it. <g>

They have years and years of old scripts. I'd hesitate to say that they have
scripts from the beginning, but they would certainly have all the scripts from
the Cass and Frankie era.

I missed it!! %$&*#@%*!!!

If anyone taped it and would be willing to share I would be eternally grateful.
My VCR just did not do what I told it to. I'd be glad to make a doop and send
it right back ASAP or to send one of you kind souls any Cass n Lila moments you
missed from the past in exchange. What d'ya say gang?

I'm sure someone reviewed the earlier footage they have of Cass and Frankie
and picked up on that line to use. They probably wanted Cass to remember and
wonder why Ann would use that phrase. He did for a brief moment. I have to
say that unless someone uses a phrase frequently, I'm not apt to remember
years later, remember the time it was used, etc. -----

<whimper!> I missed this-- what phrase did they use?

Peace & joy,

I had to get it from the transcript site:

ANNE: "WELL, YOU WERE
SURPRISED, THAT'S ALL.
SURPRISES USUALLY MEAN DISASTERS
IN MY LIFE."

They then flashed back to early Cass and Frankie maybe when they had just met
(I wasn't watching) and she said exactly the same thing to Cass.

Glad to help. I'm also glad we have the transcript site, though I could have
reviewed my tape. Frankie's hair was very long, lots of curls. Cass looked so
young. Anyone know when that was??

Julie, I think I was just off in my meandering mind wondering just how
they "found" this to use. Do they employ people to just sit and read
through old transcripts? Seems to be such a time consuming (sp?) task
to me - just wondering how it is actually accomplished.

Well I'm sure there are folks who review old footage, both for use in
flashbacks, and for history/plotlines. That way they know what the history
was, so they can change it! <sarcasm alert> I'm sure with Alice's return,
they reviewed old footage to see what they might want to use, and got the
idea of having Anne use the same phrase that Frankie had used years ago. I
doubt the writers are doing this, maybe they have the interns do it, or do
the initial reviews. I don't know exactly how it was done in this case, but
using old footage certainly is normal.

April 1990. The same episode im which Cass proposed to her, and in which
an Elvis impersonator arrived in place of Cass's desired classical string
trio. They also used footage from this episode for the montage during
Frankie's memorial service.
