B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
Nikki said she added more episodes to 1994 and asked to remind everyone she doesn't have anything after Hunter left so Taylor's death will be the end of the 94 episodes. Also what is everyone's general opinion of 1995 and 1996 B&B? I am finding those years a chore to watch - all of the focus on Rick and Bridget is nauseating. Why in the world was Brad Bell or whomever so in love with Steve Hartman? That kid ate up so much airtime.

B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
I am not done watching 1994 and I hope we get as much of the early months of that year as possible but I am really struck by how much better the writing was from 92-94 than it was in any other period of the show. Aside from the triangle and even Belief, I enjoyed the Sally/Jack/Stephanie triangle, the Sheila story, Thorne and Macy's marriage troubles, etc. It is crazy to me that Bill Bell seemed to step away this as this show was starting to reach its potential and not soon after you felt the decline. I have obviously seen episodes from late 1994 after Hunter returned and it almost feels like a TOTALLY different show than it was before she left not just how it was written but it even LOOKED like a completely different show.

ALL: You couldn’t imagine THEM playing THAT story
I have seen many people say this but I can't quite understand why. I mean sure, the Luan story I don't see but I know people think Jack falling in love with Nikki was the start of the character changing and I have seen scenes where Terry's Jack was just as taken with Nikki and I could have easily seen him conning Nikki into marriage only to fall in love with her. This one in particular:

Y&R: Old Articles
Well I'm not so much talking about now but the period that Peter is talking about (mainly the 80's and 90's). I think the B&B cast seems fairly close now but I don't believe that was the case in the 90's either tbh. The GH cast now is a mess but the 80's and 90's crew are still SUPER close to this day (Kim Shriner, Lynn Herring, Jane Elliot, Jackie Zeman, Tony Geary, Ian Buchanan, Emma Samms, Tristan Rogers, etc). I didn't actually realize how close they all still are until they did those GH fan events together and told like a million stories (Jane and Tony travel overseas together, Lynn, Jane and Kin talk multiple times a day, etc).

Y&R: Old Articles
The East Coast soaps had a reputation for being very close. I know the GL cast used to go out drinking together all the time, they all would walk to a local bar. The west coast soaps are different. Everything and everyone is spread out. Several actors have said the Y&R cast was standoffish and didn't socialized much. Its interesting though evem compared to the other west coast soaps Y&R's cast never seemed particularly close. Even in the 80's and 90's the stories you hear about the cast of GH and all of their shenanigans - you rarely hear those kinds of stories about backstage Y&R.

Racism and racial representation on soaps
Scott’s book also addressed a rift with Victoria Rowell, who played Drucilla Winters. In a lawsuit against Sony Pictures Television and CBS, Rowell claimed she was subjected to “various racially charged attacks,” including Scott mocking her by wearing an oversized Afro wig. The case was dismissed in 2017. Scott recalled things differently, writing that there was a carnival set built for a few episodes of the show. She and few other show members, bored and goofing around on the “out-of-the-ordinary” set, found a bin of clown wigs and tried them on. She said they were “just giggling, pretending to be clowns” when Rowell appeared and went on an “angry tirade.” Scott said Rowell “thought I was making a statement about her hair because of the multi-colored Afro wig I was wearing and accused me of being a racist because of it.” https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/entertainment/young-restless-star-melody-thomas-scott-stabbing-clint-eastwood-almost-marcia-brady-135718836.html

Yikes. So Y&R is returning with ZERO promotion? CBS just does not care huh? Terrible ABC at least has been showing GH promos in primetime.- Y&R to air classic episodes

I like Maura but it kills me how the GH folks have something to say about everyone but their own castmates (namely Ingo and Steve). The DAYS cast was not silent about Missy Reeves but the only person from the GH cast who has said anything about the problematic folks in that cast has been NLG I believe.- B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
FYI, Nikki said she's trying to fix the audio sync issues but she'll post every episode she has up until Taylor's death in 94. She said again, she is probably missing a few episodes because she tossed some without Hunter but its pretty complete. Does anyone know what month Taylor "died"? Was it March or April 94?- B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
Hey everyone, I woke up to this email from Nikki N "Hey, I put 15 episodes from November 1993 in that vault. I have no idea the exact dates or the show numbers, only the month, so if anyone who knows wants to label them properly please do. There is a slight audio delay (like 1 or 2 seconds) in a few of the clips. Sorry, working on fixing that issue."- B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
