The Chancellor one is more iconic to me. Great picks! The elevators with the classic font for the numbers would be great. Would the C from Capwell Hotel have blood on it? I didn’t watch SB, but it did fall and kill someone, correct?

Ron is such a baby.

I don’t mind the colors. That artwork though- not a match for Sonny.

That perm scene was improvised! I recall Joan Van Ark talking about it during one of the reunions in the last 20 years. They decided to add the perm instead of just talking over coffee or something more generic.

Let’s say your favorite shows are participating in an online auction, everything goes! If you could have one thing from your favorite show, what would it be? I don’t care how practical it is, what are you bidding on? GH- the Monty era round hub nurses station. I don’t know what I would do with it, but that’s what came to mind. DAYS- the puzzle box that revealed Gina was Hope. OLTL- Dorian’s painting, in all it’s ridiculous glory. Y&R- A copy of Ruthless signed by Leanna Love (in the actual Y&R Auction thread I chose a glass of alcohol hurled by Katherine). ATWT- Marland’s bibles! GL- the ridiculous (and loud) dress Vanessa is wearing when Billy finds out Roger slept with Mindy. It makes so much noise as she runs from one scene to the next, including Billy throwing her into a wall.

If you could have anything, what would it be? A glass that had alcohol in it that Katherine threw across the room would be mine. Or the envelope with the photos of Jill and Jack having sex.

Laura’s house (formerly Ward) used to be one of the best sets on any show. It looked and felt like a real older house, and I loved the porch. I wasn’t a huge fan of the facelift but I still liked the set. Lucky burning it down is about the most Guza of any Guza story turns. The current sets are very nice, and I like we have such a broad range of locations. What is missing for me is the same feeling on the rest of the show- different socio-economic lives. Where does Cody live? Because we need to see people living above Kelly’s, and similar locations. Not as nice as everything is presented now. Not everyone is a hotel owner. At least we got to see Cameron working. I can’t get over how tiny Sonny’s set is now that he is back at the Penthouse. Sam’s looks bigger! I remember him complaining when the shrunk the original Penthouse set down. Now it’s really tiny! The main thing driving me crazy with these new sets is the changing of where the doors are located. The Q mansion, Sonny’s Penthouse, etc.

I miss the front facade of the brownstone. I know they repurposed those steps in front as another building where Sonny or Jason was once shot at. The original Brownstone also had either a courtyard or a side yard that the individual apartments had access to. They used it quite a bit in the early 90’s.

I believe Bobbie was a surgical nurse. She was maybe head surgical nurse but Audrey was the administrative head nurse as long as I can remember, and by the time she was gone Bobbie pretty much was too thanks to JFP/network. The tribute was lovely, but like @Vee, I think it would have been really special had the hospital crew from when she started been around too.

She really did. And it was nice to at least hear Monica. I wonder why the show hasn’t made any kind of statement about LC.

This was a nice tribute. I could have done without the cliche with Marshall and if only I hadn’t encouraged her- she would still be alive nonsense. Milo of all people was the first character that really made me feel something in the episode, his grief seemed very real. This must have been a hard but very important day for the cast and crew.

Really kind tributes in that post.

That was a really nice interview. KW has obviously done a lot of work on unpacking her own history in her personal life with Jack and the show. Really interesting reading her answers. Nice to see Kin give credit to Genie without Tony in regards to how the audience responded to Laura. They had hooked a lot of people on the show watching Laura before Luke. It would have interested me- troubled family situation, David Hamilton, Lesley going to jail for a murder Laura committed, a cult, and then a love affair and rivalry around Scotty with Bobbie. All great stuff and all before Luke. I would love to watch all that today.

She was one of the absolute best parts during a rough period on the show. It would be awesome to have her back, but under Ron I have concerns.

I can’t really be too upset with Laura- someone who was deeply flawed and while her therapy happened off camera, Genie plays her with empathy towards the younger characters that make mistakes similar to the ones she made. But there is a fine line towards propping and this show crosses it all the time.

I do appreciate that we have episodes like this honoring these folks more often since Frank arrived. I have always enjoyed her on the show so I’m looking forward to this tribute.

There is also the fact that not everyone loves every job they have ever had. It’s okay. I don’t know why fans take it so personally when a performer speaks out about a part or show. I don’t think this interview is worth the venom EB has spewed. But I also don’t care if she had said she hated her time on Y&R. She’s clearly got a life and career full of what interests her. Truthfully, the older I get the more I have begun to be annoyed by some of these soap actors that clearly hate their jobs but stay out of security or inertia. We can see it onscreen! That’s just as bad if not worse than saying you are now above soaps IMO.

It needs to end quickly with him found dead and Chase having to prove Brook Lynn didn’t do it. Let Sam and Felicia do PI work, and you have short term story for 4 characters!

Thank you for posting this! The details were a little fuzzy I haven’t seen it in a long time. It’s one of my favorite Lucy/Kevin scenes, really shows the growth Lucy had as a person. She was still Lucy, just matured and less selfish.

The placeholder in my mind was Guza. His idea of Carly no longer worked because Laura Wright did not sizzle with MB. But they kept writing Carly like she and Sonny still had this undeniable sexual chemistry. They went to that well several times and the heat was long gone. It worked for me because we got Kate and Brenda’s return during the latter part of their dominance. And we got a slow burn of Jason/Carly starting to questions Sonny and their choices involving him. I will refuse to discuss what became of Kate as that recast might as well have been another character, they did her so wrong.

Jax after Guza/Pratt arrived always seemed like a chess piece used to annoy Sonny. Courtney, Carly, Brenda…he wasn’t even really a character anymore.

It really is the good old days! She had one weird quote and this thread has been pages of Brenda. I am now convinced. Bring her on, Sonny or no Sonny (at first). And hell yes to Liz hitting the sheets with Cody. It would be good for her and the audience. I do not think I can take another ME relationship on this show.

They did have a nice adult conversation, and Laura went to the wedding that wasn’t IIRC. Once upon a time I stumbled across an interview with Riche from early in her tenure and she alluded to the friction about that story turn and why Jane was leaving. Something along the lines of Jane’s personal beliefs limiting the drama of the character. I recall reading an interview with Jane basically saying the same thing, that she felt Tracy would not have an issue with abortion. I inferred that was why she wasn’t invited back during Riche’s tenure. ABC asked for the short stint to drive interest in Tracy heading to The City. I also remember Riche zeroing in on Scott and coming up with the Dominque dying story to bring some humanity to both Scott and Lucy. Something about an angel dying in his arms to make him a better person. I know the danger element existed before PC. There is a great scene where Scott has sent Lucy either photos or a video of Serena to watch a year or two after they left , and she remarks that Scott had given Serena a haircut like his. It’s funny and sad, which Lynn did really well back then.

I wonder. Because Scott and Lucy were two characters that Wendy really focused on before Labine arrived. I’m not sure if he was just burnt out (she tried to convince Tristan to stay, and everyone was run down during Monty’s second stint). I know JE left because she and Wendy were not in agreement with storylines happening with Tracy, specifically her being vocally anti-choice. Which apparently carried over for Riche’s entire tenure except for a guest spot ABC wanted for the relaunch of The City. Jane wasn’t welcome back until JFP.

He was a regular Amy at the nurses station or Ruby at Kelly’s (but less entertaining than either) in everyone else’s business. It was both ridiculous and hilarious. Now it’s Carly’s turn. I’m okay with either.
