The one I am thinking of (and it was several) was when Nikki told Kevin that Victor was the baby's father so he would reconcile with Carolyn. There were at least three or four episodes online from that time period. But this was early days of youtube and I didn't know how to save them

I do remember the full version of Jill and Katherine's confrontation about the pictures from Jan 84 being online a very long time ago, and it was better picture quality too, and a few other things were floating about at one point, but I do not remember full episodes from that era. Though I do remember episodes from when Nikki was pregnant being about, a few of them, but that may have been well over 10 years ago, when I had no clue how to save them

I just saw him in the Dec 24 ep and it is definitely him. But if anyone diagrees, let me know

Hey I am doing the 1986 cast charts and there are no credits for Dec 86. Does anyone know who played George Flint, the son of Nellie (the woman from the homeless shelter)? I thought it might be Jerry Ayres who also played Conway Weston on B&B. Sometimes it looks like him and sometimes not, but definitely so similar that I am fairly certain One is from the Y&R ep with George and the other a general headshot of Jerry

@BoldRestless Thankyou and the anon angel for all these. It is so appreciated to have these. Thankyou again

Thankyou so so much Bundy1965 for uploading all the German eps including going back and doing 1986 and adding in the German eps that were missing such as Feb 24 and others. Very appreciated. This allows me to complete the 1986 cast charts which I will have up soon as well as the remainder of 1987

I just looked at those GH German eps they span Feb 19, 1980 - Sep 15, 1980. Pretty awesome. In the comments they said they have more of 80-81. So maybe they will upload more

Interesting - Drew Pilsbury's last episode is Nov 11 1986 and Corbett's first ep is Nov 14 1986. Drew was definitely on set of Who's That Girl? (then called Slammer) in Sep/Oct 1986. Y&R may have been around a month ahead in production or Pilsbury may have gone back and forth to New York. Deborah Adair looks like she is playing the hell out of Jill. ETA: My mistake I looked up the production notes for the Madonna movie, it started Oct 27, 1986 in New York. Makes sense now.

Woohoo, anything is good, though getting November and seeing Deb Adair subbing and Michael Corbett's first ep would be good too 😀 He does appear Dec 2 from what I have looked through so far. So at least I know the article I had was way off, lol A folder for November has just been added. If this is Bundy1965, thankyou so much. If not thankyou to the anon person. So great to be getting more eps

When Ashley found out she was pregnant she went to tell Victor but overheard Casey telling Victor about Nikki's terminal illness, she didn't want to split up that family with Nikki dying. She decided not to be a single mother and didn't want to raise the baby with another man (Matt offered) and had an abortion. Matt told Victor but he was too late to stop her. He confronts her in November 1986, we don't have those episodes but the scenes are part of the clips from 1986 in the vault. Ashley didn't tell him why she had the abortion and subsequent breakdown until May 87 when she went to the ranch and they had that big talk just as Nikki found out she was in remission and saw them together and decided to continue faking her illness, assuming once she told Victor he would go back to Ashley.

Thanks for the Leo sighting, yeah must be one of his last. The woman Danny is speaking to I think is his agent or manager. I never got a credit for her so I didn't add her to the non contract section, but I think her name was Terri and she had a crush on Danny. I am pretty sure she did appear in Dec 86 as well. If I ever find out who she is I willl add her and redo the cast chart for that month or months Lol Terry looks like he wants to kill someone for having to do that promo and Brenda looks like she is having the time of her life, haha. Never knew she did one of these promos. I never liked them and when I was younger felt bad for anyone who had to do them, lol

Thankyou @BoldRestless and to the anon angel helping bring us these episodes. Anyone else notice in the scene with Brenda and Jerry in the Feb 26 ep, he pushes her out the door so fast even the camera can't keep up.

Oh right, I totally forgot, as I was going to ask here about it. Thanks for that ETA: I added those and redid the May 87 as I also left off Hugh McPhillips May 1 appearance as well. Just called it May 1987 non contract redux

I created a new folder called files-images-scans in the Y&R folder. All in there. I probably should have created another folder called cast charts, but I don't think I can move them now. Jan-May 1987 is there. Now working on Summer 87

Ah yes it probably does have to do with that. I will put them in the vault instead

Hey all. For some reason I can't upload pictures to the forum. So the 1987 cast charts are not uploading. I will try again but otherwise I will upload to the vault.

Thanks for that. I am about to begin the summer 87 cast charts soon so this is handy to make sure I don't miss it

I checked IMDB for the available episodes and Nathan does appear Dec 2,3,4 1986 but whether or not these are absolutely correct I have no idea. Again only Doug and Kate are incorrect for sure. So Nathan had at least 4 episodes in Dec with the NYE one

Thanks for that. He does graduate in May 87 and surprises Amy with it, as I just saw those eps with him in his cap and gown

Amy was on contract for sure. Her name is always with the contract players from her first appearance. Lee was on contract but only for the wrap up of Who Shot Jill, so Aug - Oct 86. However IMDB has cast credits from Sep - Dec 12th and they seem pretty accurate except Doug Davidson and Kate Linder have been listed on every single episode, they are the only ones this happens to, so I couldn't do those charts without making definite errors. Yes Carolyn most likely last aired as a contract player in Jul 86 until around 98. I have been collecting all the available cast credits from 89 - 93 based on episodes we have, while I can't do cast charts, at least it gives an idea of who was on contract and who wasn't. Plus when certain changes were made (roughly) I can post those as well at some point in the future. I looked at the 89-90 period when Mary was appearing a lot due to the Cassandra Rawlins story and Carolyn was still non-contract. Her appearances only get more scant after this. So I assume 86 was her last on contract period until 98ish Nathan is a bit tricky. If you look at June you should see him twice. On contract to June 6 and off from Jun 12. The last on contract credits we have for Nathan are from Jun 3 and his next appearance was Jun 6. Then we get credits again on Jun 10 and he is non contract. His next appearance was Jun 12. I assumed he was still on contract Jun 6. Nathan disappears around the time of Danny's concert but returns once in Oct and once in Nov (possibly he appears in Dec but don't have all those episodes) He returns May 6, 1987 and is off contract at this point. Also two other bits of trivia - Esther is never referred to as Esther Valentine in the credits until April 29, 1987. Nathan is still referred to as Kong in 1986 and I am not sure why. I remember an episode where he insists on being called Nathan, so why they listed him as Kong in 1986 is a mystery to me. Maybe just error on the part of whoever did the credits I guess. ETA: I checked actually the change it from February, last Kong reference is Feb 10, 1986. Not as bad as I remember Traci Abbott is immediately changed to Traci Abbott Carlton from Jun 25 which is the next credits list we get after Brad and Traci marry, but since it was so near the end of the month I changed it for July.

No worries. As a heads up for everyone I put Gisele McKenzie in the non-contract section as that was how she was credited. So Katherine had 8 appearances but Jeanne and Gisele split those for the month. In future I will always put the subs in the non-contract section, even if they are not officially credited. I don't believe Brett Porter got a credit during his sub as Jack

Here are the Summer 1986 cast charts. I will skip to 1987 after this and get up Jan - May 87 in the next couple days JUNE JULY And August

Also so far the credits have been accurate, though will still keep in mind they might repeat credits sometimes. Brenda has been removed by the Jun 30 episode cast list and Jess added on contract. Beth is also gone but Scott Palmer is still there. He did air for a few episodes after Beth left and I think his last appearance was when Lauren goes to see him as he is packing to move to California, that was June 15

It feels like that is why they moved Brad to Lauren. I think they knew Beth was leaving and maybe it was to be Jill/Brad/Lauren, but Brenda's departure squashed that. You can see Jill giving Lauren the side eye at the men's line launch, haha. Yeah Jess and Don had no real romantic story as far as I remember and the chemistry wasn't quite there. I think also Jess doesn't play Jill's sexual side as much, except where needed. Brenda was always slinking around like a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Jess has a bit more of a harder energy or more masculine at times. Beth's last airdate was June 4, so she left late May and I assume she gave the show decent notice. (the show taped 2 weeks ahead when it went to an hour, except toward the end of the year when they would work an extra day each week to build up 2 extra weeks for the holidays as per Jess Walton who responded to a fan question in 1993. Though I guess with all the pre-emptions in 87 they didn't need to bother) Also Bell stated he wrote anywhere from 5 - 7 weeks ahead per an interview in 1985.

I do have an article stating his first airdate was to be July 6 and it is mentioned in Nancy Reichardt's synopsis for week of July 6. So I think July 6 was his first airdate. Wait okay I also have one stating July 2, lol so confusing Not yet, but will, I am polishing up summer 86 and currently working on April 87. William Wintersole was still in the cast credits for Mar but his last appearance was Feb 5, 1987 (on contract) I think Colby's last airdate is when he and Jill are arguing about the previous night at Gina's when Jill is hung over. That was May 5, 1987 Thankyou Bundy1965. It is so great to have these episodes. Very much appreciated. Thanks for the tip about the credits. I guess the only thing that affects is the writer/director credits as I look through the episodes to make sure for accuracy. Some non-contract players only get listed once and not always in the episode they are in, so I usually still need to go through the ep to make sure.
