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.

I felt like Erica never came out on top with Greenlee. Greenlee outed her daughter, started Fusion in a direct effort to ruin Erica, almost killed Erica-though it was technically David's doing to take it so far-by having her plane messed with, almost killed Erica's grandson, then caused Kendall to prematurely give birth due to stress or whatever. Thanks to the atrocious decision to make her Jack's daughter, she was always forgiven and portrayed as a victim, yet Erica was evil whenever she did anything. I really felt the Montgomery brothers were the undoing of the Erica Kane character. She went from a totally self-absorbed career-driven diva to a sometimes amusing, yet ultimately boring wife and mother.

I wish there was more Youtube videos of the plot to kill Lisa that occurred between 88-89 after Earl went missing. I think the episode just before James henchman tried is uploaded, but not the actual part where they try. I am so mystified that so much "new" All My Children content is steadily uploaded from the 80's and 90's, but so little ATWT. Was AMC the most popular soap during those years?

Does anyone recall Zsa Zsa Gabor's very brief guest stint on the show in 1981? I read she was on for about ten episodes and played the sister of Miranda Marlowe. The only picture from her stint I've seen is one with her and Anthony Herrera, so I'm assuming they shared scenes. I'm curious what her character actually did.

That's what drives me crazy about the latter rewrite Y&R did in regards to the Kay/Jill feud. In the 2000s every character seemed to behave as if Katherine was a kind old woman that Jill had relentlessly been cruel to for decades and it was quite the opposite. Both women were venomous, but Katherine tended to quite often obsess bitterly over Jill and interfere in her personal life for no apparent reason.

Aww. I wish I had not missed the 1998 episode.

Thank you so so much for telling us. I was literally just wishing someone would upload classic Y&R haha! This is perfect.

I thought Cord and the Buchanans purchased the company to stop Dorian's book? Or was he just the one who made the deal for Viki to buy it? I thought Dorian was tossed out of Llanfair after her marriage to Herb allowed Viki to gain control of the estate per a condition in Victor's will? I'm not debating, but just asking since I've only seen chunks of the 80's stories, but not the whole thing. I don't know if one of Victor's will gave Dorian back Llanfair.

How did Dorian get so rich? The radio guy in this video says she has a billion dollars. I know she got some type of money from Victor's estate, but I also recall her going broke in the mid to late 80's briefly and then she had the Intruder, but the character's wealth still never quite made sense to me after the endless revisions to Victor's will. Todd only got $27 million. Speaking of that, how rich was Viki supposed to be? I always found Viki and Dorian's wealth to be kind of vague and confusing. I think Asa was richer than either of them and at times I got the feeling Todd was also.

When did Lisa buy the Lakeview? I don't recall her owning it prior to 2001.

Amen. It's annoying how there seems to be a ton of All My Children popping up on my subscriptions, but not any new ATWT.

I liked the Brooke/Stephanie dynamic for the first several years, but then B&B started making Brooke do far out incredibly manipulative and selfish things, like screwing her daughter's husband, yet had damn near every character excusing her behavior as not being her fault. It kinda reminds me again of how Y&R tried to re-write history as Katherine being a saint.

Amen! Jill was often a witch, but Y&R was so much better when the complexities of each character was acknowledged. Katherine was truly obsessive and bitter towards Jill, but she was also compassionate, kind, and not snobby despite her wealth and social standing. Jill was devious, rude, self involved, but was shown to have a heart and the ability to care for others. It was great. I hated years later when they tried to literally strip it to "Jill was always so mean to poor Katherine". That, along with the weird way they made Katherine a staunch Victor cheerleader in her last decade or so, was really irritating.

That 1993 episode really reminds me of how insane Katherine's Jill obsession was. It seems like her story often became nothing more than her obsessing over whatever Jill was doing.

I always hated the tiny porch outside the library at Llanfair. I understand budget and studio limitations, but it always seemed odd to me that they would have a wall or trellis blocking their view of the rest of the yard. Dorian's house had that as well, I think. I also disliked that the library was the room opposite the front door, not a living or sitting room. It was pretty much a living room, but they called it the library. Phoebe's house on AMC did the same thing. I liked 80's Llanfair. I wish they would just have redecorated it, not completely changed the layout after the early 90's fire plot.

My pleasure. I adore Ms Fulton and was not happy with the disrespectful and dismissive end they gave Lisa, one of the show's most important legacy characters. She was my favorite and it was so sad the way they used her less and less as the years went on. I understand soaps need fresh blood as actors get older, but ATWT had a great cast of veterans who should have been given a lot more to do. But I'll resist going on a rant lol.

Can someone please tell me how big the Llanfair estate was supposed to be? I recall, maybe in the late 70's or early 80's, Viki inviting Pat Ashley or someone to move in. She said the property had stables, tennis courts, an east wing that had about 12 rooms. I think Dorian was about to be tossed by Clint and Viki at that time. Years later it seemed the property was much smaller. They always went to the club to play tennis and I don't recall them mentioning stables except that one time.

Apologies if these have been posted, but new Eileen Fulton pictures from a recent appearance. Credit to her Facebook fan club https://www.facebook.com/eileenfulton01/

I could be wrong, but I believe Dorian named her house around 2003 or 2004. I vaguely recall her being angry about not having Llanfair, or one of her jealous things over Viki, and saying she would call her house La Boulaie. Paul, Melinda's son, gave her a book of French estates as a gift or something. I also remember Viki seeing a plaque Dorian put outside her stating the house had been built in 1899 and going "This house was built in the 1950's, Dorian!" Dorian was such a great character. I miss her.

I liked Holden, mainly due to me being shallow and finding Jon Hensley to be very handsome, but the rest of the Snyders bored me. I don't know why, but I sometimes felt the show tried to push Emma as the central "sensible and down to earth" matriarch type character, which bothered me. Nancy Hughes, in my opinion, was the only one who fit that role. My all time least favorite character was the forever whining Julie. However, nothing seemed more absurd to me during those times than Duncan and Shannon's castle.

Utter nonsense and lies. Jill Farren Phelps is known for disliking older actors. Her getting rid of Robin Strasser, one of OLTL's most valuable players, was proof enough. She also purged GH of God knows how many vets, heavily limiting the screen time of those who remained.

I wish there was more 1984 stuff online that involved Eileen Fulton's Lisa and Whit. I really would have enjoyed seeing the Lisa/Lucinda feud at it's start.

I felt Adam accepted the real Erica more than any other husband- even the nasty, ruthless side- provided he was in control of things. Unlike other husbands, he would have been happy to let her manipulate others, help her with petty schemes, etc. The problem was she never loved him and he was insane in certain ways. Jack drove me nuts. He was extremely preachy and arrogant. It drove me crazy in later years how he'd hold Erica to one standard, then ignore the truly heinous things down by Greenlee ((I hated them making her his daughter. HATED it)). I know they were accidents, but almost killing one of Erica's grandkids and later almost killing Erica herself? Even if she didn't mean to, those things happened because she was trying to kidnap the child and trying to frame Erica for a crime. I kinda blame AMC's horrible, horrible writing in later years. Even the ending- him walking out cause Erica wants to make a film instead of marry him for the 500th time- was dumb. He couldn't just go with her to Hollywood and wait? I liked Erica's friendship with Opal, but sometimes felt it was nearly one sided. Palmer commented on it in an early 90's episode when Opal was pregnant. Incidentally, I think Palmer might have been Erica's only true male friend. There's a really nice scene at the beginning of this 1987 episode with them. I like it cause Erica was actually shown trying to be a good friend to him Watching old episodes, I noticed something that leaves me confused. Brooke was Phoebe's niece and, if I recall, had a trust fund that Phoebe controlled when Brooke first arrived. Where did that trust fund go? If Phoebe was old money, surely Brooke should have been rich herself? I know she wasn't portrayed as poor, but I've seen episodes basically implying her character's not all that rich. I wonder if she had rejected her family's wealth? I really liked Brooke, but I felt the writers could have given her some type of personality flaw instead of trying to make her so sensible damn near all the time.

I largely disliked the Travis years with Erica. While I agree it added some nice growth to her character, I found Travis to be largely self absorbed, temperamental, self righteous , hypocritical and generally irritating. I didn't think of Jackson as much better. The fact that Travis- a man literally responsible for getting Bianca kidnapped, then later responsible for her going to the hospital due to his ignorance regarding kids and medication- was somehow able to wrangle full custody was one of AMC's most absurd stories. I felt they really tried to basically ruin Travis with the Barbara baby story. He had a good reason, but his intolerance of Erica's daring to be upset was ridiculous. Add to that the way he used Bianca as an excuse to make Erica let him back in the house, then threatened to walk out on them at Christmas if Erica didn't try to forgive him...ugh. The character was disgusting by that point. I felt AMC never did the best job of balancing the ambitious Erica that ended in the mid 80's with the late 80's wife and mother Erica. The Montgomery brothers dulled her in my opinion, and I especially disliked how they, along with Barbara, would out vote Erica and talk down to her during Enchantment business. Erica's career ambitions were often my favorite part about her, so I missed that. She was just kinda a sometimes hilarious man chaser without that.

1987 episode. Not sure if it was uploaded on another channel. This channel has great classics from other soaps as well
