Sigh...i guess even Bill Bell had annoying quirks to his writing, especially as far as Lauralee went. i guess he almost tried with The Newmans way later in 1996 when Victor and Cricket started to get closer.

I might have to get some 1988 episodes with Eileen, because most of the 1989, especially early 1989 is Brenda, but he's definitely there physically not mentally....haha. I can understand the frustration, but it's a shame Terry couldn't make the commitment to Y&R he should have, as I think he would have thrived throughout the 90's Jack stories.....

He totally seems bored out of his mind, and it's hilarious how even though he's sort of part of Cricket's rape story as the one who fires Derek, he has ZERO interaction with Lauralee, which we know why obviously.... I actually can sort of see why people rooted for Victor over Terry's Jack, as he played the arrogance better then Bergman...

I was gonna try to post the January ones,first, but it's been a while, and with everything going on I just wanted everyone to have something to look forward too........given also old Y&R clips on YT popping up are still very slim.... Can't wait to see it and confirm the date for you!

Your welcome! I've been slacking a little on the uploads and wanted to add some bright spots for a somewhat hard and stressful year.....I still have some January 1989 I need to post soon! Thanks for the interview clip too!

To prepare a little for tomorrow's (or later's) classic episode, and as a late Christmas gift, here's some more episodes from December 1989, that weren't up before! 12/4/89 12/5/89 12/6/89 12/7/89 12/8/89 12/11/89

Little audio clip I found from 1989, where I guess this guy, who's a DJ had a guest spot as one of the emcees for Danny's concert......he kind of makes fun of the dialogue which is pretty funny...

Rare Photo.

Hard to believe in another week or so we will be seeing this woman on our tv screens again! even if it's a repeat! LOL

It's always interesting how the 80s Y&R black characters (Amy, Jazz, Tyrone) were never as successful it seemed as the 90s ones (Dru, Liv,Neil,Malcolm)

Colton Shires who played "Little Ethan" on Passions was on "Teen Wolf' tonight as a lacrosse player.

It's always been jarring that so many 70's/80's stuff isn't on YT thought I guess at one time a few episodes made it on here, but are long since gone....I remember 2, one from 1982 and 1983 when Patty shot Jack, but I stupidly didn't watch or save then...........I'm lucky to have gotten some early 80's compilation scenes I posted a while back, but I would prefer to see the full episodes... Still, you are right about GL and ATWT with the amazing quality 70's/80's episodes, though I get they were ripped from that special DVD they had......still there are still more early 80's floating around from those 2, then I ever saw of Y&R.....heck GH literally have their entire 80's run all on YT!

I know... Y&R isn't an ABC/P&G situation where they erased over 10 years of early footage, yet more 70's or even early 80's episodes haven't made their way on here....I'm thankful for the few that surfaced (and of course are long gone now) but the more I hear, the more I want to see more.....I'm just thankful whenever a new clip from that time surfaces but it just isn't enough.... I would settle for at least some audio recordings from that era, and some have surfaced from time to time.....I think there are still some 1979 audios floating around when they all thought Katherine was dead, and they had Jill/Derek/Suzanne/Liz and Katherine was haunting Suzanne....those scenes sounded fantastic and I always wanted to see the actual clips/episodes.... I like that more early AMC/OLTL 70's audio clips seem to be surfacing, though they are more of a tragic case that their early stuff will probably be never seen again...

I feel like if I saw all of 1973-1983 I would probably start to think that was Y&Rs best era, even better then the 90s...

Yeah, Y&R is the rarity where it comes to being a consistently good soap for over 30 years despite the mild duds, and weird plot turns Bill Bell did create....I personally feel the rise to number 1 in late 1988 onwards created the more glory years till at least 2005ish for me....I agree hearing about all of the old stories prompted me to want to see all the episodes I collected.... I kind of like to look to it that way in regards to Victor vs Jack, where it was this back and worth of trying to outsmart each other with one or the other winning.........We should add that Victor almost tricking Jack with the signed agreement to return Jabot if he dumps Nikki, but it being a voided deal, and Jack staying with her anyways as an even Victory as well....either way It was better written and not tired and washed out now, with Victor being the undefeatable cartoon he's become.......I think you maybe right about Alden, though I think she viewed Victor as the anti-hero which helped matters and Victor was still written in character.... I always thought those characters dominated those years as well......as you saw them front and center most of those days.....hence why Jeanne called it "The Young and the Rest of Us" LOL

Interesting, I wonder what things didn't work out well when it came to the turnover....I guess getting rid of Chase during the David Saga was one of those problems? it just seems like they got rid of him, after making it clear in most of the 1990 episodes before the shooting that Chase was suppose to be the hero in all this eventually winning Nina's heart......yet they dumped long before the story ended....I agree they should have kept Leanna around longer... I admit I also can't help but have this resentment towards Victor becoming the lead around this time....I guess it stems from how OOC he's been written the last few years, but I sometimes wonder if Bill overdid it with Braeden/Victor back then?....again the writing was better, but he still did questionable things.... I agree about Jess, but I remember one scene that use to be on here, that I think was right before Brenda left in 87, where she had a heart to heart with Cricket and even gave her some decent advice....She seemed the most normal she'd been since before they turned her into Alexis, yet the irony is that I don't think Jess had too many of those same time of rare scenes....at least when she first started....

That's what I miss most about their rivalry is the bizarre dependency they had on one another, while hating each other all these years, and at the same time always having this deep mutual respect for the other....all the love is hidden behind the catty exchanges, like it was with Brooke and Stephanie, yet they had their moments of concern for each other, like the one episode where Jill is comforting Katherine over the possibility of her having breast cancer.... It really is a shame they ruined the real dynamic the last 10 years Katherine was on the show..... No Problem! I would love to hear some of your opinions looking back on these shows DeeeDee.....I personally find the early 90's to be the golden age for the show....

It's posted as a download link if u look again. 7/29/92

No Problem! glad you are enjoying these!

Yep, and even her and Nikki for a little too....

She definitely did on that one!, haha....I hope we get that Sharon back..... I forgot that was also the same episode, in a somewhat comedic moment where Mamie visits Katherine and Esther to show her the money JIll gave her....while John is suspicious of Jill...

No problem! Hope all is easier to find, lol! ive probably replayed that scene a bunch of times myself! I get a kick out of Jill's annoyance towards Mamie during the affair story, just the way she says certain things to her, before she (Mamie) even realizes Jill's having an affair like on the ones from May 94 I just posted. It was never really developed sadly but it was after the affair came out that john realized he had feelings for mamie and was going on a vacation with just him her and Billy, but john had a stoke and forgot he even admitted those feelings apparently which of course promopted Jill to pay mamie a million dollars to leave the abbots, which mamie accepted, and Katherine helped set her up with another wealthy man and they rode off in a cruise together and that's basically how Mamie was ushered out...she came back for visits a few times though. Nikki and Victoria were at there snottiest these 94-95 episodes for sure...I loved Sharon telling Victoria to go to hell in the one episode though, haha

No problem! Hope u enjoy them! i agree i love the the isolation too, even if I wish sometimes they had certain characters share scenes, but the isolation was A show staple and hopefully they will bring it back.... im not the biggest fan of Ryan, but I always thought that him and Lauren would have looked good for some reason...maybe because they rarely interacted and i feel like Ryan interacted with every other core female on the show during his time...

Thanks for the kind words as always! I always say it's a shame I can't have a public channel anymore, because of the B.S of CBS/SONY, but I'm glad that means I'll hopefully always have my episodes saved so I can share them anytime I can......It still makes me sad, that any potential holder of classic episodes has to hold back from uploading, as it doesn't seem like much is posted anymore....Tombinorway/SoapOperaSpectaular/SantaBarbaraNBC is always the one that comes to mind cause they had so many good soap clips, not to mention the Y&R episodes he had in his collection were based off of the same affiliate that most of my episodes are from (we get the episodes from the same person)....though it was clear, he had even more then what I had based off of other clips he posted, which I sadly never saved.....not saying those episodes will never surface, but the fact he had that many, and has sadly been banned from YT 3 times, makes me very upset... sorry for that double post.....sigh... anyways, here's my playlists of what's been uploaded by me so far....everything I recently added on here, with the exception of a few more things I still need to post has been added to my playlists.....I will also post download links for the ones that couldn't be uploaded on YT....I organized the episodes by year... 1989: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFukuXXHudGiitCDGEIt6SUB_yW7hD8tb 1990: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFukuXXHudGh_1RmqpBGTE6Ps9NSz6_M_ 1991: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFukuXXHudGg8k7-dc-DI-tShR7mgDMkN 1992: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFukuXXHudGhOvhgcfxovLbF45gYBmOtk 1993: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFukuXXHudGjGd39zeJO_tnV1giYMayFM 1994: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFukuXXHudGi_YxtCkrw_5xJdT9uEZWyy 1995: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFukuXXHudGj2N4Qq0eYXOHNLzVi9vnPW Download Links 6/13/90 http://www.mediafire.com/file/t94ycc72psy3sf0/June+13%2C+1990.mp4 7/29/92 http://www.mediafire.com/file/45lhxpjjel2a4pj/July+29%2C+1992.mp4 9/30/93 http://www.mediafire.com/file/alyew2cwv1n51p7/YR+1993-09-30.mp4
