YRfan23

well MAB did like to "honor history"....

Getting ready to pop some popcorn for this...You made the holidays bright with this one!!!!! Thanks to all of you that post the episodes of Y&R...they are really appreciated, since watching current Y&R tends to turn my stomach... haha sounds like a good idea, and no problem! the fans I think really have become the providers of classic episodes, since CBS refuses to show them during the holidays anymore...

I honestly would accept Victoria really being Kevin's daughter. That really would be the worst punishment ever for Victor so that's why they will never go there.... It's kind of a shame that they didn't keep Allison on, as I always thought that Katherine needed a good rival in her age group, besides Jill......It seems like most of the other shows that do the "rich older woman Vs. Young Vixen" always give the older woman a rival in their age range (Stephanie vs. Sally on B&B Kate vs Vivian on DOOL, Ivy Vs.Rebecca on Passions) so I wish they kept it up with Katherine vs. Allison......Allison could have teamed up with Jill at some point to bring Kay down.

Thanks!! I'm glad I was able to get those scenes.....I gotta tell you as much as I think the late 80's/90's were the most well rounded of Y&R's history, everytime I see this stuff I wanna see more as I think the early 80's had some good stuff too! and I do have some more to post including some more clips of Deborah Adair Jill!

well, for more of an era you WILL get to see....here is something extra special that came with the episodes I just got! a rare compilation of 1982 clips! featuring Leslie, Lance, Nikki,Victor, Katherine, The Bancrofts etc.....Merry Christmas!!!

Well I personally thought the scenes I saw with little Chuckie was pretty good acting from DH....

I know, but sometimes I wish they didn't make it seem like him getting at Jack constantly came first to his love for the Abbotts or Ashley.... I guess it's just one of the many problems that occurred when Peter Bergman came on board and Aunt Jack appeared, as I feel like Lester still being there would have had different results for these stories.

I have to be honest and say I sometimes don't know if it's easier to watch the Victor today or the Victor of the past.....I know the obvious answer, being the past, but even then there are still things that bothered me about Victor(which I know is the same for some).....I couldn't help but feel mostly annoyed watching even the summer 1993 episodes I just got with Victor's funeral/and everyone finding out what was in Victor's will......particularly the fact that the deal to return Jabot to the Abbott's was revoked, which I guess was predictable anyways, but It's still hard not to feel sorry for the Abbotts always losing to this guy, especially if you consider not long before Victor caused Jack and Nikki's son to be stillborn (which I'm kind of pissed Jack didn't keep reminding everyone in that room cause that's the first thing I would address) and to make it worse the smugness from Brad (who let's be real was always sort of being groomed by Bell to be the next Victor) who was out to get Jack just as much as Victor despite all the love the other Abbotts gave him was really undeserved either....I guess it would have helped if John and Ashley were written to be just as conniving as Victor meaning they deserved what they got, but that's the problem they weren't (except for Jack, though Aunt Jack was already at base there) and they never deserved any of it, yet how they forgave Victor so many times is still a mystery... I really think 1994-1996 was a better period for Victor, he even was made to suffer a little for his actions (a possible punishment from his behavior towards the Abbotts?) and even got punched in the face by Cole (though that scene hasn't appeared yet) and had to deal with his own family drama with Nick being framed for murder... it was really a wake up call, and I think they made Victor realize he couldn't manipulate things the way he wanted....I think he and Jack became "friends" around that time for a little.. Brad also seemed to suffer a bit, after spending so much time letting Victor do things to the Abbotts, with the custody suit with Colleen and of course his heart attack...then going further he and Victor stopped being close as they were thanks to his relationship with Nikki.

whoo! thanks! I think the first two dates are 5/27/92 and 6/29/93 that 5/27/92 wedding episode takes me back to when I first started looking up old Y&R/B&B clips on YT in 2007! it's a shame how many good clips there use to be, then of course people started complaining about more money or whatever and we have the Sh*tty YT now!

thanks! don't worry if some dates are still missing, as I would expect a couple of them to be gone....

Thank you!!! I was hoping to see these 2 episodes again! your such an angel! The other missing 1992 episodes floating around from YT and DM I think are, 1/24/92 (Rex and Kay Re-marry) 4/28/92 (Michael kisses Cricket) 9/29/92 (Olivia in Labor) and 10/14/92 (Scott and Lauren 2nd marriage reception)

awe why thank you! you are always so sweet and for all the knowledge you have of classic Y&R that you bring, it's always a pleasure! I also love that I now have some summer 1993 as I always wanted to see those episodes too, but I will have to get some more, maybe during the next few months! I will be honest and say I choose the ones I did because I wanted to see some of the rare interactions between certain characters at the time I had heard about....LOL

I wouldn't want that at this point anyways. That would mean Billy and Victoria are related. Yuck! Lol Well the Bells always did have a thing for incest stories...haha

I guess we could always assume that they just sped Jill's pregnancy up (like they did with Lauren's with Scotty) but I wouldn't be surprised if Billy was really Victor's son...... again as long as Jill stays offscreen, there is no chance of Pratt wanting to do a "retcon" of Victor being Billy's father.

haha well, it is a very rare gift that's all I will say!

Your welcome! I do have something extra special to post soon, that I think we will all like!

7/5/93

6/25/93 6/28/93

multi-dimensional villains are a thing in the past, which is why I'm sure by Feb Sweeps Dr.Sandy will be carted to the loony bin while Victor does his horrible smirking, cause you know he will get in this mess somehow and be the one to expose her (while at the same time doing horrible things any normal person would wind up in prison for)

It's been years all I can say......even someone like Tom Fisher is probably better then most of them today (and he kind of is by watching your 05 episodes) What's been missing, and probably will never resurface is the amount of psychological tension and build up each of Y&R's villains bought....we followed them all through their journey to madness and watch them reach their breaking points (David and shooting Danny, Cricket and Nina at the ball, Sheila holding Lauren hostage, and Michael breaking through the wall) while enjoying all the beats made in the process of their stories ....

I think on July 7th 1993....so Billy would only be 22, haha... like I said Jilll went into labor during the end of the July 4th 93 episode I will post soon, but unfortunately I don't have the episode where she gives birth to Billy...

Your welcome!! I always liked Nina better before she was even in Ryan/Victoria's orbit.....she became so desperate just to please him (much like Steffy on B&B today with Liam IMO) while he constantly played her and Victoria.....I'm glad over the years they matured (something that doesn't happen anymore on this show sadly) but it's still a shame Ryan died....I could never see Scott Reeves fit in on the current canvas of Y&R for some reason though....Chuck Pratt would just make him Ryan's evil twin obsessed over Victoria.... Jill is always a lot of fun in these shows which is why sadly the more Jess Walton stays away the better.....Jill must have met Sheila at some point to do the same martini thing she did with John.....(minus the drug of course LOL) but yes this is when Jill gets pregnant with Billy though at first it seems like it didn't work cause John had gotten a vasectomy the next day, but luckily Jill got pregnant before he got it done...I have the July 5,1993 show to post soon that has the annual Abbot July 4th Pool Party where Jill goes into labor after she gets into a fight with Kay...LOL so fun to watch.... everything about these Sheila scenes is always a sad reminder how Y&R and any soap just doesn't do villains like this anymore....those confrontation scenes with Lauren and Sheila are very powerful (even if I agree it's stupid Lauren didn't recognize the voice, LOL) we will never get scenes like that again!

I might be able to get the rest of those episodes at some point as they are between March 12-23, 93 which are available. These Ones from February I just got are the very beginning of all that (or at least the one Michael was in) and I do have the dates already right in between where Michael attempts to breakthrough only to be stopped by bricks, lol. I love how most of these episodes feature both Michael and Sheila doing their various evil schemes in the same episodes, it really would have been a force to be reckon with had those 2 became a couple, but it also sadly shows we will never get that same amount of compelling villains the show had at one time. 6/15/1993 aka the funeral for the guy who really should have killed Victor

The first 5 mins of that episode are on the farmhouse DVDs I have...yeah I really want the full episode of that too...it is the same episode where Sheila calls Eric at the diner, as well as The same show Cricket knees Michael in the balls lol.

Yeah a lot of their stuff has long been deleted, but I'm glad I managed to repost some of the stuff so far as full episodes....I meant to get Jan 13, 93 where Sheila turns her picture into the puzzle, but I held off only cause that episode apparently had some scenes missing, and I rather get the full show when it becomes available.... I had Oct 2-Oct 7 91 in my files too from other sources, but I think they are still on my old computer....I have been redownloading even my own youtube videos onto my computer.... Here's 2/23/93 (notice the very weird time jump between the episode before and this one, I really wonder sometimes what the editors were thinking....)
