It's definitely a bit frustrating to not no for sure which exact days didn't air for Watergate.......if only there was a supersized soap database for ALL soaps.....besides Days and AW....

Wow! this is great! I don't really follow ATWT but this should be interesting to read! especially if it may help confirm when other soaps had preemptions etc... was ATWT not effected by watergate in summer 1973??

1998 episode I just discovered...I warned the person, but enjoy it while it lasts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UDWpQy6sdk also looks like 2 more 1986 episodes were added to the google plus channel!

Your welcome! yes it seems like almost nothing classic gets uploaded anymore :/

LOL no problem!! lots of good stuff, that all seems to be leading to the events at Victor/Nikki's first wedding! never thought we'd see any of it! I also loved Liz's dose of reality that Katherine chooses to be bitter about the past, and it makes her appear more "ugly" I do liked that Katherine tried, and Jill was the one who can't forget....without good reason, such great but heart-wrenching performances from Jeanne and Brenda.... I love seeing "action here" Victor working with Paul and Andy.....forgotten friendships and relationships, because the show refuses to show Victor's human side.... Love Lauren is the pot-stirring bitch...her exchanges with Jazz and Amy were fun!

I've never seen much of Rick Darros, but it's a thrill to see some of the "climax" leading up to Victor getting the spear stuck in his D**k! LOL

Pannoni4 just uploaded 2 February 1984 episodes to his page! @DRW50 @SoapDope @yrfan1983 @YRBB @kalbir @soapfan770 @Paul Raven@Dax7000 @Y&R21395

Thanks!!! I actually was hoping this scene would pop up again! No problem!! and I agree it’s good to save this one now! It doesn’t exactly say “Y&R” In the tittle but u never know anyways.. Brenda’s last day was 12/21/95 and I think Shari debuted about 3 months later...I think 3/11/96 was her first airdate! i think by the end of 1993 they started making the production more “cinematic” slightly different lighting/camera angles and different music being used....I guess they were trying to go for a more “prime time” look.

I loved finally getting to see this too....I think this scene proved Brenda, if she stuck around could really play all the different layers of Ashley, that people think ED is more accustomed too, like the coldness and berserk scenes like this....I thought Ashley was going to go after Jill with the knife too! I didn't realize Ashley and Olivia's friendship was present at this time....I always think it isn't really till they brought back Ashley with Shari, and then Eileen's return they played up the friendship more...It's kind of sad, that Ashley was warning Olivia, just as her own marriage was up in flames too...funny enough Olivia sort of went crazy too, when she found out about Nathan/Keesha. btw, thanks for the 1995 SOU stuff! I have to say, some of the pictures, specifically Jack/Jill, Nikki/Victor look later 90's, but maybe it's the lighting.....surprised Lauren got a shout out, as she spent most of that year on B&B to finish up Sheila's initial arch there.....

Great scene from Brenda Epperson's second to last episode as Ashley, when she has a mental breakdown over being deceived by Rick and Blade!

Deveney just disappeared, never to be mentioned again right? I know the confrontation scenes with Stephanie and Deveney are still around, but after Stephanie stops Thorne from shooting Ridge again, Deveney just disappears.... That seemed to be a Bill Bell thing, having the villain just vanish, if he had no more use for them...he did it on Y&R with Lisa, and even though she wasn't really a villain....Diane who helped David, but then turned on him, just ran off, right as David was killed...

I always thought, Stephanie used that line after Angela and her doctor had their car accident and that's what she was referring too...I didn't know it was a wheelchair accident. I feel like the story on paper sounded a lot more better then how it played out...other then the creepy facial makeup stuff a year later....the Angela story never really had a proper ending I think. I always say it wasn't until 1989 the show really picked up the pace, but after reading synopses, It still seemed like it was struggling on what type of show they wanted to be....I guess it was hard for Bill Bell to live up to the hype of Y&R's popularity....obviously the show improved over the next couple of years... even so, I would take this B&B over "Liam and the Liam" everyday!

@DRW50 I never thought I would hear this on the show, Stephanie describing Angela's accident, and the famous "She rolled down the Hill".....I started laughing and thought of you!

Thanks! It's good to know what happen, in the missing months, but I do hope those episodes surface sooner, rather then later.... I'm dying to see Nina's "when Harry met Sally" scene surface!

When did Ellen Holly officially depart OLTL? I see some sources say September 1985 and others say all the way to December 85....unless she left, came back and then left again...

I certainly wouldn't have any objections if most of the "lost" episodes did surface as audio only....at least it would be something, and other people out there have had to been recording, if they don't have master tapes. Wish there was a way to transfer your tapes! would love to see/hear what you have!

I knew Brock and Lorie were friends, but I didn't know they had a past?? I guess that's another way Katherine would know Lorie better.....Casey and Nikki were also friends of Brock before Nikki actually met Katherine right?

Thanks! it would be amazing to see an accurate list of what pre 1978 material is still out there! I know on YT you can find some full or partial audios of 1977-78 OLTL.

Sorry if this was explained already but when exactly did OLTL start saving their episodes again? I keep reading in 1978 when the show expanded to an hour but what about the 1976 episode from “daytime to remember” I know some B&W kinescopes are out there and some rare color episodes saved by the network, so was the 76 one of the network saved ones?

I think the only Brooks sister Katherine really interacted with to my knowledge was Lorie, because I read some old synopses where she met with Phillip I guess so he could fund her book or something like that....It said Katherine eavesdropped on them, and I guess for a second suspected they were seeing each other..

What’s so funny re: Nikki and Victor though is that Victor was friends with Casey and on a brief snippet of a 1980 episode I uploaded Victor brings flowers for Nikki! So he definitely knew Casey had a younger sister but I guess didn’t meet her or even realize Nikki was Casey’s sister till the Bayou a year later!

Welcome to the fourm btw! I definitely miss the old background music and that was honestly what we had to look forward too still 2006-2012 when the show started going down the tubes....they still played some familiar scores occasionally...I think it was like Nov 2012 I last heard anything classic, and if they did use anything afterwords, it seemed to be only in flashbacks...

I like the isolation too, even if I always wonder what would happen if "such and such" shared scenes....it's kind of fun to use your imagination..

That's so true RE: Brad Bell making her a female Victor! in fact I feel like Stephanie probably got away with far more then Victor has under Brad...
