It appears to be the same house. If this was 79, I wonder if they kept that set into the 80's ?

I don't understand why they didn't keep Tom Ligon on the show. He could have been a rival for Victor. When did Peggy Brooks get written out ? I don't think she lasted into 1982. Bill Bell seemed to be at a loss as what to do with her or Greg Foster. That Brian Forbes/Ashley pairing was an odd short lived storyline. They brought him on, then he was gone within a year. He went to make a phone call and never came back. Jay Kerr who played the role did an interview for a website for another series he was on and he said he hated doing Y&R and that he stank at soap opera. He said surprisingly people still recognize him from Y&R and that's what they ask about most. He even made the crack about disappearing never to be seen again.

I wonder how long they kept Alice's house too. Did they show it again when Jackie Courtney returned to the show in 1984 ? It appears to be a Colonial Style house with an early american flavor with the diamond grid windows etc....The furniture though looks like modern ugly 70's crap to give it a contemporary twist. It would have looked better with more traditional furniture.

Such a tragedy. He had his whole life ahead of him and it was cut short by a mistake. I thought Aaron would have snapped him up after the Male Model film.

The majority of the media has always had a disdain for soaps and soap fans and slams them every chance they get. I miss Bill Bell. Y&R died when he did. Kay Alden could have carried on the legacy, but Sony threw her under the bus by sticking her with that albatross Lynn Marie Latham.

Yes, he would have been great as Miles too. I can't believe Jon Erik was not snapped up for a regular role on a primetime soap.

I know. It's too bad when you can't take a your own home video recording and use it the way you see fit. It's not like anyone is making money off it.

Yes, John Erik was doing the Voyagers series during Jack's first season of Dynasty. They could have dumped Jack since he stank in the role anyway. It may have been weird though after he did that Male Model film with Joan where they were sleeping together and then see them as mother and son on Dynasty. I can't belive it has been 30 years since his death. Yes, Dynasty may have kept him away from a prop gun. Here is what he may looked like as a Carrington playing Polo.

I agree. I kind of wonder what John Erik Hexum would have been like as a recast for Steven ?

Probably some cornhole has tattled and spoiled it for the rest of us.

I wonder why Jack Coleman even took the role if he was just going to be uncomfortable playing it ? $$$ was probably the major factor, but why didn't he just try to get another part on some other show. ? He had to know what the character was all about when he signed on the dotted line. It's funny seeing how bleached blonde he and Ted McGinley were in the 80's and how today they have dark mousey brown hair.

I hope we get to see some more classics soon. Like Lorie being tried for killing Vanessa.

Terry Kiser who is playing Dr. Rice is still with us and active in the business. He hit pay dirt in those Weekend At Bernie's films. He was also in that hilarious Golden Girls episode where he playes a fake Beatle and sleeps with Dorothy.

I can't help but notice those bright red blinds behind the curtains in scenes. Probably some current hack designer who is obsessed with midcentury will see those while channel surfing then bring them back with a line claiming it was their creation/idea.

I remember that Afterschool special.....LOL It would have been funny if you did yell that out.

I liked Al Corley's version of Steven Better than Jack's version. I wonder why Al hasn't done anymore acting in recent years ?

That's true. He did that weird teeth gritting thing. He was totally uncomfortable in the role. Nolan Miller the costume designer said that Jack was very sensitive and would get angry when people would think he was like Steven in real life.

I want the link as well Please.

Yes and Another World.

That rat needs his butt kicked. What freaking business is it of his who wants to stream. He's probably one of the snitches that gets youtube users flagged for uploading.

I hope someone out there is recording and will upload at some point. It might just take some time. I'm amazed at all the vintage Y&R material that Alphanguy74 is uploading in the Old Y&R Articles thread.

The link was working when I checked it this morning, but it went off air before the Doctors was to air.

I never knew Kelly Harmon was on Y&R. I was just a kid then. Kelly was best known as the Tic Tac commercial girl. Mark & Kelly's sister Kristen "Kris" was the wife of teen idol Ricky Nelson. Kris played herself on the family show Ozzie & Harriet and a recurring role on Adam-12 as Kent McCords wife. Kent got his start on O&H and was a close friend of Ricky's.

It seems like for years and years that ABC and NBC dominated the awards shows and magazine fan fare. Y&R was just kind of there being over looked again and again. I don't see how Jeanne Cooper, Brenda Dickson and Jaime Lyn Bauer didn't get nominated for some of their work early on. Speaking of Chris and Snapper, I know Chris became a Jabot model during her last year on the show (1982). Didn't Jack flirt with her ? Prior to her working at Jabot, there was some sort of a storyline where Chris wanted new furniture etc....and Stuart loaned her the money to redecorate. Snapper then invited a doctor and his wife to dinner and the doctors wife recognized how expensive some of their furnishings were and Snapper later exploded and told Stu to shove his money.

Yes, people dressed to impress in the 60's. I wonder too if Liz did any modeling.
