Vicki Wyndham adopted that fake british accent when she paired up with Charles Keating. I saw that VW 25th special and to see her old way of acting in the flashbacks and the way she was acting/speaking in the current storyline was jarring.

The Lila Anderson story has me interested for some reason. I want to see how they handle this on 1968 daytime. The husband Ralph seems like the sterotypical 60's husband that screams at his wife, thinks she's a ninny, knows whats best for her, tells her how to think and feel etc.....

This has probably been posted before. Here is a Y&R episode from May 26, 1985. There are several flashbacks by Kay & Jill to the 1970's.

Matt's Big Ole Chrysler looked a little out of date for a Chief Of Staff. Most people of his social stature would have a new 1968 or least a 1967 model at this point. Is it just me, but doesn't it look like there is a little too much furniture in the Powers livingroom ? If they uncluttered it a bit it would be more spacious

LOL...I know. Everyone was dueling big hair to see who could get the ultimate height. Women looked like Texas Beauty Queen Contestants. As a boy I had the Ricky Shroeder and Adam Rich bowl cut.

I have that 1982 episode on a DVD along with a 1985 episode. I wish some more 82 and older episodes would surface.

I wonder what went down with MTS and BD ? Was this during her first or second run ? I wonder how Brenda got along with Marla Adams ? The whole cast seemed to adore Marla. In Jeanne's book she said Terry rented a bus and took the whole Y&R cast to go see Marla in a play.

Melissa Converse Murphy is said the be the daughter of Peggy Converse and Don Porter. Don played Sally Field's father Russ on Gidget and a ton of other roles. Melissa appeared in an episode of Gidget having a crush on Russ played by her real life Dad. Yuck!!!

Thanks for the upload. I wonder why Colby Chester (Michael Crawford) left the show ? I recognized Leslie Denniston (GL & ATWT) and Mrs. Don Hastings in the Cascade Commercial.

Janice Lynde left Y&R in early 1977. Victoria Mallory took over shortly after and interacted with Tom Hallick's Brad till 1978 when Hallick left the show. Leslie got preggers by John McCooks Lance in late 78 and had Brooks in 1979. McCook left Y&R in 1980 when the show expanded to an hour. Dennis Cole was hired and played Lance till 1982.

I wish some episodes of this show would surface. I had heard it was pretty racy for the time.

I never watched this show when it was originally on, but it's pretty good and has decent acting and production values.

I got so sick of those Mark/Connor sex romps back then. The one during ATWT anniversary was tacky.

I think Tracy Scoggins would have been a better recast for Pamela Sue Martin than Emma Sams.

I got my second volume of season 3 the other day (who ever decided to split seasons up needs to be shot). Jack Coleman is so drippy as Steven. I crack up how they made Sammi Jo obsessed with eating. In a breakfast scene she was telling the maid she wanted both sausage and bacon. She then grabs a hand full of sausages, crams them in a roll and scarfs them down. Jeff poisoned from the toxic paint is just so hilariously cheesy, even by 80's standards. Gordon Thompson can be campy as heck. It's funny to hear him hurl insults and slurs at Steven, but I think Adam is the one light in his loafers.

LOL at Yanni. The gel demonstration is bizarre. 80's commercials could be off the wall. Like the douche commercial where the daughter and mom are having breakfast and as she's pouring coffee she whips out a bottle of douche from under the table and sits on display and continues the conversation. Then there were those uncomfortable Stayfree maxi pad ones with Cathy Rigby. In one she was talking about overnight trips in a hotel room and pulls out a huge box that only someone who was bleeding like a stuck hog would need.

I remember these when they first aired. Now they looks so old......LOL

It seems like the 80's and 90's were the hey day of soap promos print and TV. You rarely see daytime promos prior to 78/79.

Another great Ad along with the one from Hotel. Do soaps even do print Ad's anymore ?

I remember hearing that George also despised Mr. T because he became the breakout star of A-Team and they had a go between when they had to communicate. Wasn't there also trouble between George and Audrey Hepburn when they did Breakfast At Tiffany's ?

LOL....George Peppard was a horrible person and didn't get along with anybody. He got Melinda Culea kicked off A-Team and told her it was a mans show. I also read he didn't like that Christine Belford was cast on his old series Banacek and thought it was strictly a mans show. He ended that series because he didn't want his ex-wife Elizabeth Ashley to get any profits from it because of their divorce. He was kicked off Password Plus in 1979 after he started fighting with the judges over the game and went on a rant. John James said when he introduced himself to Peppard, he blew cigar smoke in his face and walked off.

I remember someone posting on another board that Sony didn't want to spend the money digitizing the 35mm master tapes of Farmers Daughter and the went looking for the 30 year old 16mm tape transfers that CBN used and couldn't find them and told Antenna TV tough luck. FD is now going to be on of those shows that will probably never see the light of day again. Older shows are neglected and the companies don't want to spend money releasing them.
