Yes, I remember that about Gregory and Randi being married. The dunk tank was my favorite too along with the swimming and kayak race. So many great stars and series back in those days.

I love those Battle Of The Network Stars. Speaking of Mark Harmon, Mark is Tracy's Uncle. He is the brother to Tracy Nelson's mother Kris.

Love the pics of Sherry Mathis. They are so of the era (circa 1981/82)

Yes Billy did favor Dean. They should have been cast as brothers in something. Billy was married to Tracy Nelson (Rick's daughter) for many years. I think they met while Tracy was doing Square Pegs. Billy went on to do the Perry Mason TV film series after William Katt decided to leave.

Thanks for the article. She looks nothing like the red haired Pamela Peters Solow version of Peggy. Patricia didn't last too long since Pam returned to the show by 1980. Peggy Brooks is one of those characters that Bill Bell didn't quite know what to do with.

Love Paul Davis songs. I have Sweet Life and I Go Crazy on my ipod, but for some reason Cool Night from 1981 is not available for download.

It's funny that you brought up this song. I was watching this clip from a Disco Dance show and that is the song they were playing. Great tune.

Lindsay Frost reminds me of Lindsay Wagner......LOL

Here is a 1984 Taco Bell commercial featuring Margaret Colin and William H. Macy. Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster) is doing the voice over.

Recent interview with Robert Colbert (ex Stuart Brooks). He talks about Y&R a bit and how it was filmed live then.

The Aldrich marriage is falling apart bit by bit. I feel sorry for Carolee. She clearly loves Steve, but also respects his marriage to Karen. I read that Steve later gets her pregnant out of wedlock too. He must be some super stud to bed and impregnate all these young women.

Dick DeCoit would have been a great name for adult films.....LOL I wish some of his Y&R work would surface. I think I read that Carolyn Conwell played his mother on the show before she returned a few years later to play Mary Williams.

Does anyone else have trouble with the Dailymotion site ? Sometimes it takes a while for the shows to load and the web page acts all freaky at times like it's continuously loading crap in the background ?

I noticed the four 1975 and one 1976 episodes have been removed from youtube as well.

Diana Hyland looked rough in that cast photo. Dick Van Patten before the bad comb over.

Thanks for that 1991 David Kimble episode. It brings back memories how great Y&R once was.

Jill grabbing David's crank in the hospital as Katherine looked on was one of the most hilarious scenes in Y&R history. One sad thing about Y&R is that just about all the history ties to Y&R's early years have pretty much been erased. Jill is no longer a member of her original core family. Jill, Paul, and Nikki are the only 3 characters left from the 70's when the show was a half hour.

At one time in the 90's SOD ran a great spread on Y&R called Restless Hearts and it was a pictorial walk down memory lane with lots of photos and a time line. I also remember these magazines by Sterling/McFadden called History of The Soaps. The storylines synopsis were kind of all over the place, but they had some great rare pics from all the soaps.

Is Peter Burnell who played Mike dead ? I read on IMDB that he committed suicide in 1987. When I google image, there is a current photo of a guy named Peter Burnell that looks like him. http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/people/burnell/profile.jpg

I guess they wanted her to look stern and harsh and save a few bucks.

DRW50 I wondered that too or if she has a longer wig later on in the 70's since long hair was the style at that time.
