Thanks for posting this SOD synopses Carl!,

Did they even make it a big thing when Jill and Dru lived under the same roof?. I know Dru mentioned it in the 1992 Christmas Eve episode i uploaded, but it seems like Jill and Dru were too busy in their own lives to really interact as houseguests, and Dru quickly married Neil.

That party that Jack threw for Jill sounds like fun, I'm glad John put his foot down with Victor though. I wonder if Nikki had anything to say about Jill and Victor. It's amazing how in the early 90's (even before that) The Jill and Nikki animosity wasn't played onscreen till the late 90's/early00's and onward.

No Scott and Lauren mentioned in this one, must have been a quiet week for them.

Your Welcome!

Its still a shame how bad the black storyline is now ....

I guess this episode is not from the WOST site afterall if it has commercials!

I thought the Brad and John scenes were really real done. John seemed to always understand where people were coming from, and never really degraded others for there behavior (Minus Jack and Victor on occasion)

Great Lauren and Jack scenes. Sad that because of what Jack Smith turned Lauren into, it's awkward to see Lauren have scenes with other people who aren't Michael, Kevin etc...

Bill sure loved his psychotic women with guns. It's amazing how Sheila still reins supreme over all of these wackjobs.

It is Brenda

Brenda Epperson had a small role on Passions in 2000, as Crystal the woman who was Eve's best friend and knew about her secret past with Julian, but she was only on for like 2 weeks.

Good news, the person who is uploading the 1987 episode said he has more 80's episodes, so we should see some good stuff hopefully

Yeah i heard on the old WOST site there used to be 2 November 1987 episodes of Y&R. The fact that these episodes were uploaded is a good and bad thing. Good because i have never seen these episodes before but bad since he probably doesn't have anymore after those 2

That's right - you have a good memory.

I wish that episode where Faren does her Sweeney Sisters routine was still up.

Haha thanks... I try

Yeah i would like to see episode again too just to see Katherine screaming about Jill

Fingers crossed that there will be a lot more 80's Y&R episodes on the way, (as well as early 90's)

Great scene between Brad and Jack, It is always nice to see Terry Lester playing him

I guess that woman is involved in the Faren storyline. as that Faren's realname was Michelle wasnt it?

Yes thanks for finding this rare episode Carl!

I thought that was a nice scene between Lauren and Joanna. I have a question though, Was Joanna involved in any of Lauren's relationship with Scott? and was Joanna being absent during the rest of Lauren's first run on Y&R (mainly the Sheila stuff) the reason why Lauren was so angry at Joanna when she returned in 2005? I think it's kind of Ironic and funny that Joanna says to Lauren that not being apart of her life made Lauren do terrible things, but when Jill and Lauren went to court last summer and Joanna returned for that one day, she pretty much said the same thing, but said it was the reason Lauren became a Brat. It's funny that Maria was only clever to remember that basic piece of information to create such a horrible rewrite.

I liked the Victor and Nikki scenes too, They actually looked happy and in love, which is rare to see considering this was after Victor and Ashley had already hooked up.

I didn't realize that Matt and Ashley were that close?, Was there any serious major fallout between Victor and Matt? The clips i have seen of them, they are usually civil to each other.

Eileen looked so weird in those glasses.

I was shocked to see Julia. I know that she made appearances throughout the 80's

but thought she was gone by this time (for now)

The only annoying thing about this episode is for some reason they seem to be only using two background cues that keep repeating. It's weird to say they almost seem too generic for that time. Also i swear one of them was used on B&B. I feel like i'm watching a Y&R classic on soapnet since soapnet is known for changing music and such. Which is why i want to see more classic Y&R episodes on soapnet but i don't want to see more classic episodes on soapnet.

Bill probably should have done either a Lauren/Paul/Brad triangle or Lauren/Paul/Lynne triangle. I know he was just trying to give his daughter something to do, but did he ever consider the possibility that Lauralee needed a break after leading all of those stories? Cricket obviously should have been more of a supporting character in 1994,

What makes it worse is that Danny was ruined when he got with Phyllis. I never would picture Phyllis hooking up with Danny if that story wasn't ever done.

I have a curious question. Did Rex have anything to say about Phyllis when she came to town. I know Rex died December 1994, and Phyllis arrived two months earlier in October, so Rex still had little time to interact with her if he did. Do you think they would have made Rex a more prominant character towards Phyllis as her early story continued if they didn't kill him off?

It wasn't too bad until she decided to become a lawyer.

After that the PSA stories just became ridiculous.

Deedee what did you think of Miles and Margaret, and the whole Cricket helping the old people from getting evicted in 1993? I was foutunate to get and upload episodes involving that storyline, and i think it was pretty cheesey, but those two actors playing Miles and Margaret are very fun (Parley Baer and Maxine Stuart I believe)

Also what was Bernadette like? The woman who Danny starred in Joseph with and kind of had a thing for him. No surprise that she was probably named after Bernadette Peters. Was she originally suppose to be someone who they had in mind to become more like Phyllis, before Phyllis was on the show?

No.

Brad admired Victor (as a businessman) & Victor treated him like a protege.

Brad used Victor & Jack's mutual hatred to his own advantage.

Agreed, I feel like most of the time it's hard to know what Brad's true motives were. He definitely was a man whore, but was he genuinely a good guy? I remember reading in some of Carl's 1992 synopses where Victor had that stroke after confronting Jack about taking over Newman, Well when Victor got better, he forgave Jack for "saving him" yet Brad was also helping Jack, but Victor (from what i read) never seemed to find that out. I also read that he wanted Newman just to become rich. He already had Cassandra's fortune, so why would that matter? So i guess what i'm trying to say is that Brad seemed to weasel his way out of anything he did against Victor but always kissed Victor's ass.

Ha yeah, Daddy did make her the poster child for soap PSA's in the 80's. AT least back then it was done in a more heartfelt way, and not as a cheap emmy stunt like B&B.

Thanks again as usual for another synoposes and that page with Brad and Traci! Carl

It's funny how the Derek story lasted a few months. It seems like one of those stories that would only take two weeks to be resolved. Man Lauralee looks like death in that picture. I know that's the point but i cringe at the thought of her actually having real bruises after filming the rape scene.

How exactly did the Victor/Brad friendship or whatever you want to call it happen? Was it their mutual hatred of Jack?

Thanks for posting this soapfan 770! , very interesting to see

This was when the younger cast started to dominate the show, but it's nice that Michael Damian was still one episode below Morrow. considering 1994-1998 was Danny's worst years IMO

Very Shocking to see Nina in that many episodes, i always thought her screen time started to diminished when Adult Nick, Sharon, Malcolm, and other younger characters started to arrive.

Heather Tom was playing Victoria in July 1997? I thought they had Sarah Aldrich during those months.

Shame for Jeanne and Jerry , I wonder what they mostly did during that time, I think Ashley tried to hook them up right? and then they re-wrote history by saying that they actually knew each other before they supposedly met in the 80's and went skinny dipping etc... I can see why Jeanne called the show during this time "The Young and the Rest of us"

Thanks for your comments on my episode too, Id thought i get everybody in the Christmas spirit by uploading the original version of it, too bad some of the scenes are missing...

Do you have episode rankings from 1990-1995, would love to see them if you did, especially 1995. I wanna know exactly how many episodes Katherine and Lauren were on.

He had but he still had feelings for Victoria.

When Victoria & Ryan were going to get married again.

He would be married to Victoria & having an affair with Sharon.

I can see Ryan having an affair with Sharon, didn't they somewhat chem test Reeves and Case back then? Of course i know you have said it's fan fiction deedee, but i am still curious if a Lauren/Ryan pairing would work. I have no idea why but i'm curious to know what they would be like together. I'm probably thinking too much like LML or Maria, (which is scary of me to do.) but i guess it has to do with the fact that i have seen Ryan have scenes with almost all of the core women of Y&R during his time on the show except for Lauren.

Olivia does look creepy, and i didn't realize that there was a triangle when the show wanted to do Neil and Victoria. I thought Cole had moved on with Ashley by then,

I was wondering, when did Victor fully accept Ryan? I know even after his and Victoria's marriage had fallen apart by 1993 that he still had ill feeling towards him (Cole tried to help him get Ryan out of town didn't he) I know it happen during the Tricia saga, but was there any particular turning point that Victor saw Ryan was a decent man.

I still wonder what would become of Ryan had he not been killed off, it's hard to picture Scott Reeves once being apart of Y&R. I feel like everytime i see him on GH, especially with that band he started Port Chuck, he has that look like he has washed his hands of Y&R completely.

Interesting, I would love to see a pic of her as Nikki. I wonder if Erica Hope would have been as popular as MTS if she stayed.

I love it too!

Gotta love Sheila's "I wish you lots of lovely surprises" (raises eyebrow) but i think Brooke and Stephanie's part is the funniest.

Like i said the Y&R christmas ad like this is on the christmas eve 92 show that i will upload next, but it's not as funny as the B&B one.

Thanks for posting the article with Patty Weaver! I really miss Gina on the show. It's funny how she was one of the only characters who everyone knew, when other characters didn't necessarily know each other that well. I take it that Lauren and Phyllis were the only two she never got along with huh... What years was Gina actually on contract with the show? I know she was recurring through most of her run.

I'm not sure if there is much truth to that interview with Wesley Eure. Patty seems like someone who wouldn't just cut people off just because her husband disapproved of their lifestyle.

Was there much of an uproar about her marriage to Jerry Birn, I know he was like 30 years older than her. I bet Laura Birn loved having her as a stepmom even if they were only 10 years apart or so.

Alex & Francesco left almost at the same time.

Actually Y&R was fairly good about their openings.

It wasn't until the porn opening that the show got lazy about changing things & has only gotten worse with the current opening.

Agreed, I know i shouldn't say it because it's so obvious but i don't think Maria and her goons really care about changing the opening, which is a shame because it's been almost 9 year, It would be one thing if they used different scenes over the years when showing the character's faces instead of the ones that have been using for the most part since March 2003, but it's a given that we are probably stuck with this opening till the end...
