I forgot Lyla Montgomery had a daughter named Cricket (played terribly by the late Lisa Loring). Did any of the Montgomery family ever mention this character after she left? It seems like she was forgotten, or the show pretended she never existed since I cannot recall Lyla, Craig, Margo, or Katie mentioning her.

This is the first time I've ever seen a clip of Zsa Zsa on ATWT. I recall reading that she refused to play a mother (despite having an adult daughter in real life), so they had to cast her as Miranda's sister. I hope more of her scenes pop up.

Why can't they hire people with your creative thinking for the writing staff?! Any of these ideas would help bring the show into the modern century. We are instead treated to endless tired love triangles with a borderline incestuous family. They are desperately trying to recreate Brooke vs. Taylor with Hope and Steffy, I guess with Brooke as Stephanie, but it does not work. It just seems like two annoying heiresses feuding over bland men with a hypocritical nymphomaniac playing morals police. The lack of diversity on B&B has always bothered me, particularly the lack of gay characters on a show set in the fashion world. I would love to see a manipulative gay or bisexual male model or designer end up somehow tied to the Forrester family.

Update: Unfortunately, the gift card sites failed. The main one, StarSelect, required me to verify my order by picture I.D., only to refund me because my verification failed due to a U.S. I.D. The Lidl and Penny stores don't do PayPal, so they rejected my card, and PayPal wouldn't let me complete my purchase on their site even with VPN enabled. It was a good idea, and I appreciate you trying to help me. It's rather absurd for me to go so far just to see a particular storyline.

I wish it were still this easy. RTL+ only accepts payments from the Single European Payment Area, so even VPN did not help me subscribe because all of my payments are from U.S. cards. Even PayPal did not work. I tried to see if someone would send me some GZSZ episodes I wanted if I paid them, but no one was willing. I'm so bitter.

Thank you. I never thought of the vpn thing. I did not know RTL was so passionate about stopping uploads.

Is there any place to watch GZSZ online other than RTL? I know the Moritz and Luis fans upload some episodes with subtitles. However, the episodes are months behind and I want to see the latest ones, even without subtitles.

How random for Tina to get a doll. It looks like Todd had one as well.

I agree about the Lisa/Lucinda feud. Eileen Fulton often stated she enjoyed Lisa's wicked side best, and I feel that shows in her work. The way Lisa went after Lucinda, and her later ruthlessness in trying to ruin John, were some of the last great moments given to the character. I got tired of Lisa being an agony aunt for Oakdale's younger set. I recall Lisa and Lucinda being friendly in the late 90's. I don't know if it was a mutual dislike of Molly, but I recall them working together to stop her from disrupting Lily's wedding or something.

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone, but I found this recording. Eileen Fulton singing Help Me Make It Through the Night. It's quite something. Ms. Fulton's recordings are hard to find on Youtube.

I agree about Thom Bierdz. I felt for Philip in those scenes. I wonder if it was Dickson's choice or she was directed to have Jill seem so smug in those scenes. Except for a brief moment, it was as if Jill didn't care about the emotional trauma Philip would face.

Thank you all for the info on Katherine and Victor. I got my info from Wikipedia, which is frequently questionable. Jack is incredibly annoying, IMO. I find him slightly more irritating than Victor due to the fact Victor is at least self made. Jack's just inherited everything and has a sense of entitlement.

I have a question that may seem dumb or silly. I was curious if Katherine was supposed to be as wealthy as Victor? I know the character originally came to GC to run Chancellor for her, which suggests to me that his company was formed after Chancellor already existed. Jack once said Chancellor was the one company that could take on Newman; however, I always had the feeling Victor was supposed to be the richest character on the show.

When has Victor been intimidated by Traci? I haven't paid much attention to the show since she gave him her daughter's heart and told him not to waste it (which he did). I enjoy the character of Traci, but it would be nice to see her get fed up with Jack and Victor now and then. Their feud is pathetic at this point.

I apologize if these have been posted, but here are some 1980, 1981 and 1982 episodes.

Josh being Mark's son would have been excellent. The un-abortion story is one of the worst in soap history IMHO. I actually cannot remember Erica having a decent storyline during the show's last decade. The Bianca rape story had great potential, and I feel Susan Lucci displayed some of her best work during certain scenes, but AMC ultimately derailed it by having things drag on and the atrocious AMC/OLTL crossovers that wouldn't end. On a side note, I'm still annoyed those crossovers never resulted in a proper scene between Erica and OLTL's Dorian.

I wish AMC had kept Mark and given Erica more family outside her children. Mona passing left a huge void, and I never felt Opal or Myrtle were enough. Erica's relationship with Mark was something I enjoyed, especially when his drug problem was out of control. I also enjoyed her concern for Mona's health around 1992. It was those moments that gave Erica something beyond the typical romance storylines AMC seemed to love throwing at the character. I personally felt Erica's pursuit of men were among her most dull storylines after a point. Her career ambitions, relatives, drug problems, and mental issues were far more interesting to me.

I would accept Carrie Genzel if Robin Christopher did not return. She was perfectly fine as Skye, but Robin will always be my favorite. Regarding Skye's likability, I agree. However, Adam abducted Erica, tried to drive Dixie into a madhouse after using her for a baby, and cost Gloria a child, so I don't personally view Skye as irredeemable. I know very few people seem to have enjoyed the character on any soap, but I saw her as a lonely and emotionally damaged woman.

I know she is not necessarily a fan favorite, but I would welcome the return of Skye Chandler Quartermaine if AMC were revived. I believe Robin Christopher now lives a quiet life in Pennsylvania, but I enjoyed her portrayal of Skye and would welcome the character. I never took to JR or Colby in comparison to Skye or even Hayley (and we all know Kelly Ripa is not an option unless they maybe got her for a DC tribute episode).

I apologize if this was posted, but here is a cute clip of Nikki dancing with a character called Mark in 1988. The only Mark I recall on Y&R was Marc Mergeron. It's interesting to see Nikki have fun and be so lively. I feel being with Victor and around Katherine often made Nikki seem older than the character would have been at that time.

Thank you so much. Katherine's endless obsession and insane way of viewing her history with Jill was something I wish Y&R had explored during the later years. I don't know if the writers could not be bothered to pay attention to show history, but the active attempt to change the narrative to Katherine being the eternal victim was absurd. The fact she was so vicious and hateful to Jill was part of what made her character interesting and complex.

When did Katherine and Victor become friends? I know he came to GC to run Chancellor, but early 80's episodes seem to show they both cared about Nikki, but they were not that fond of each other.

I have no idea why classic ATWT from the '70s and '80s is so rare. Y&R fans have to go the extra step of making their uploads private since Sony or CBS has public uploads removed quickly. ATWT doesn't have that issue since it's off the air, so the lack of uploads is surprising.

You are the best! I was wondering where, or if, he'd continue to upload.

It's a shame. Youtube is packed with old All My Children episodes from the 80's, 90s and 00s, but little Y&R. I know Y&R gets reported, so maybe they just don't want to bother making private playlists.
