I am surprised at what we're able to salvage from YT from time to time, particularly the 70s/early 80s episodes. It is nice being able to get a glimpse of that era in some form. I have to agree with you there. I'd love to see her attempt to track down James and Mary. Plus, was her supposed child with Massimo ever followed up on? Weren't there rumors Daisy was going to be Diana Carter? It's sad how they just can't re-air all that good stuff on a retro soap channel or something....but I guess they are not that nice....LOL.... There is certainly enough room on the B&B canvas for Sheila's kids......Diana would probably at least be R.J's age about now (in SORASed form LOL), and as or Daisy being Diana, I'm not sure how true that is, but it would have made more sense then the horrible Sarah Smythe mess.....

Still holding out for those 1990 episodes too. Although, I'm pretty intrigued by Shawn and Lauren's storyline now. I know I've seen a clip of her being abducted in a cab, but that's about it. Oh, I know what you mean. Certainly doesn't feel like ten years. I was holding out that some of those rumours of Kimberlin's return may have been true, I was hoping around Michael and Lauren's ten year anniversary in December they may start alluding to her return with flashbacks like in 2005. Can you imagine them trying to explain that Pheila thing? I hope to god GT isn't subjected to having to recreate any of those scenes. Oh Believe me, I would love to get more early/mid 80's episodes too someday......especially after seeing those compilation clips that came with my latest dvds....the late 80's/90's stuff is easier to get , but I'm sure someone out there recorded and saved full episodes from 1980-1985? Yeah it all went by so fast the time from when Kimberlin left Y&R.....I still feel that the only way to salvage the Sheila stuff that happen the last couple of years is to have her go back to B&B, which makes sense as next year it will be the 30th anniversary.....I've sort of mapped out a great story if she would return that would eventually get Y&R involved too......Kind of like an ultimate make or break story for Sheila....LOL

Your welcome! sadly no Sheila Present, which is always kind of a bummer but still a rare find, as I said I didn't realize the full episode was actually available.... I still want those May-July 1990 episodes with Sheila too....they have to be out there LOL ugh those episodes might be depressing to watch I can't believe it's now been 10 years.....that's gotta mean something now right?

Here's an episode I never posted yet from September 20,1990 I don't know if some of you guys remember, but I had only the first few seconds of this episode that came on after the 9/19/90 episode, but it turns out the full episode was available after all which I was happy to get!

No. No, it wasn't. Stop it. Stop. That's like saying, "the good thing about that cancer is..." Pheila was and is one of THE worst, most disgusting, things the show has ever done (and it has A LOT of competition) and nothing connected to or about it is good. Not to mention, it REALLY wasn't needed for all of Genoa City to know about her. That is more the type of villainess that would suit DAYS or OLTL. That wasn't Y&R's style. It made sense on B&B because it was a much smaller cast and, basically, all about one family, but Sheila walking in and terrorizing the likes of an entire city that includes Katherine Chancellor and Victor Newman would quickly turn cartoonish and over the top. Like, what possible reason would Sheila have to get involved with those people? She didn't go after money or power or ice machines. She just wanted some good peen and that bitch Lauren stood in her way. And that's what makes her so terrifying -- she did it all for love, for a baby. Bring her into this bigger orbit and suddenly she's putting bombs in Newman Towers and--oh, wait. LOL, well let's be real if Sheila bombed Newman Towers....with Victor inside, I think the town would have rewarded her with total freedom (at least the Abbotts would) Yes it was a smart decision for Sheila to stay in the place she was during her time at Y&R.....at least her interactions roped in some other players occasionally like Olivia, Danny,Cricket, and John SIlva, and plus she was part of the Masquerade Ball with everyone in town, showing that she wasn't totally isolated even if her initial story was.... what's funny is that unlike Stephanie on B&B I'm almost certain that Katherine would have probably liked Sheila, as would Victor......Cricket seemed to get along very well with her too from the brief interactions they had when they were both in-law's for a short time......That's why I'm glad they never really played on Cricket's reaction to knowing how Sheila tricked her brother.....even if she was too busy with Michael at the time..... Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, as I said one thing I loved about Sheila was she wasn't at the core of Y&R's realm. I loved that mysterious factor about her. I think it would have annoyed me to no end though after Lauren's supposed death on that yacht brought the whole town together that they wouldn't be aware of the woman responsible for it to an extent. Good god, I'm actually admitting I enjoyed something LML did, I take it back :3 hahaha Yes, yes it was pretty awful and embarrassing to watch, I wouldn't dare disagree on that one I feel like the 2005 stuff in all honesty seemed to but all the blame on Tom for everything that happen including the boat explosion....I know everyone realized it was Sheila eventually but they didn't really seem to know her part it any of what happen (I guess other then the Brenda and Jennifer disguises) I will probably have to watch the episodes, but I'm kind of shocked that Cricket who had some part in the story didn't once give mention to Sheila as that was her sister in law for a time...

haha I do wish more B&B from 1992-1998 was available. Oh well, maybe one day. It is consolation enough to find a lot of them on YT even if they aren't in English. I do love the storylines that tend to lean more towards the outside of the traditional Y&R realm. That was one of the pros of that whole Pheila thing, getting to hear everybody from Victor to Katherine mention Sheila by name. Was it Peter Barton's decision to depart the role of Scott, or just a creative decision from the writers? His death didn't bother me until re-watching the 2005 episodes and seeing all the flashbacks, I do wish he was around to see all the anarchy that Sheila caused. I honestly feel guilty cause I promise myself I would try to get some B&B episodes, especially 1992-1993 episodes, but I haven't taken action with that promise yet LOL.....the B&B episodes I do have came from some of the Y&R dvds I have......I think sometimes watching some of the 1992-1993 Y&R episodes having to do with Sheila, then being able to watch that same day's B&B episode right after, would make it feel more complete.....I have seen a little of the episodes from 91-94 dubbed in German, but I also wish the English ones were available. I do agree about getting to see the other core characters finally react to Sheila during the Pheila thing, but the thing is that as much as it would've been cool if the entire Y&R cast was under Sheila's thumb like almost everyone was on B&B, it would probably make it less interesting, and the fact not everyone in town knew of her and interacted with her gave it more of a mysterious aura of that made sense.....you kind of see that more whenever she crosses back over from B&B to Y&R, I guess cause though Sheila had grown very popular of course during her original 1990-1992 run, the farmhouse then crossing over to B&B IMO is what put her on Iconic Villainess status which seemed to be proven how quickly the core B&B people got involved with her (and I know smaller cast was a factor but still) so it just becomes more interesting that after months of settling at B&B while causing chaos, she crosses back over to Y&R where other then Lauren, all the other characters are just minding their own business totally unaware of the great evil that has surfaced again........haha I know this all sounds a little bizarre, but I hope I made a point LOL.... I think Peter Barton/Scott was written out, I read that Bell thought that Sheila/Lauren had gotten so popular that Scott dying wouldn't hurt them......I agree that it would've been nice if he stuck around and after divorcing Lauren got with another woman on the show......I always thought Scott/Ashley would have been a nice pairing as they are both scientists in some regards, plus on the July 4th 1993 Abbott Pool Party episode I just got, in one scene you see Scott and Ashley playing with Scotty in the background so I think she would have been a good stepmother for him (especially with Brenda Epperson still in the role) .

Thanks! It still bothers me that this episode aired exactly 1 week after the full episode of the lab catfight!....that's just the one Sheila/Lauren full episode I've wanted to see for ages...haha I know what you mean. Still, it was nice to finally see everything in between the call and the fight at last. I think the only other Sheila/Lauren full episodes I want to see are the Jacuzzi fight/Scott's death on B&B and Sheila taking Lauren hostage at the apartment. haha as much as I have enjoyed collecting Y&R episodes with Sheila that have been exclusive, most of my wish list of full Sheila/Lauren episodes are the ones that have been posted on youtube for years, like Aliehslive's clips.....I'm glad I was able to get all those February 1993 episodes with Sheila revealing herself to Lauren, as well as other dates I've had for a while now that have clips of Sheila from Aliehslive, like her hiding in the closet and listening to Lauren and Scott arguing......I still want the lab fight and yes the full episodes of Sheila kidnapping Lauren....also the ones where she came back to G.C before Catalina to reveal to Scott she was alive....LOL Aliehs does such a great job of editing out the other character's scenes in her clips that you just become so curious as to what everyone else was doing that day.......it's still kind of fun how oblivious the other G.C residents were of Sheila back in those days....haha I think the full catalina clips with Scott dying use to be on here, but it's been a while, and I don't think I ever really saw Scott dying to be honest......I have episodes from November 1993 where Lauren and Cricket are mourning him with Paul there for comfort......The show never really made a big thing out of Scott's death and I think Lauren got over it rather quickly......

Thanks! It still bothers me that this episode aired exactly 1 week after the full episode of the lab catfight!....that's just the one Sheila/Lauren full episode I've wanted to see for ages...haha

So I just skimmed through that Finding Carter episode Reeves guest starred in.....not really a role that you can do much with (is he suppose to be back for more episodes?) but It's funny how I always thought in recent years he could pull off playing an abusive deadbeat dad part now, which is what he was here (maybe it's how he looks now)....but it was fun getting to see him in the midst of all the "hot" young stars on the show, especially Jackson Rathbone.....

I never thought of Ryan (and Scott Reeves) as being any kind of prize catch. Speaking of which, Scott Reeves guest starred on Finding Carter recently and he hasn't aged very well. LOL I was probably rambling a little, but wow that's cool! I'm at least glad Reeves is back into acting.....I can see him guest starring on shows like Finding Carter, Teen Wolf etc... It's a shame that someone like Tricia Cast isn't at least playing someone's mom in one of those shows, even if she's too good for those....IMO

No Problem! There's actually 6 and a half episodes ( I say that cause one only has the second half available LOL) in total from both playlists so make sure you watch the others too.... I'm actually a little upset the episodes didn't include Jill's party......they literally end an episode talking about the preparations and it jumps ahead a few days to the fallout on October 3....

Sure! here's the playlists from September/October 1994!

I can dig through my archives if you wanna see the episodes....LOL I know Ryan was a bit of a sleaze but I hate how this show or any soaps no longer have characters that are like him.....basically the guy with the shady past that eventually becomes a decent guy but has always been (or at least tried to be) a decent guy....Reeves (like most of Bell's finds back in the day) was IMO a special type of casting for the show....that may sound weird but oh well..... Was that Bergman's clause? It would explain alot......guh why must writers let the actors do all the dictating...I would not have any of that if I worked on a soap.... I do kind of like the idea of Jack's son with Nikki being more fond of Victor.....it would be no different then young Nicholas being more fond of Jack back then....

If I knew that LML was gonna kill her with the whole Pheila thing, I think it would've just been best she went back to B&B at that time.....again not that much would have come out of it anyways.....Brad Bell could never write for complex female characters like Sally, Sheila etc....

I watched 9-30-96 I admit, I actually prefer episodes from 1989-1995, but that being said I did enjoy this episode! What was the story with Clarke and these hit men? I thought all those scenes, were very action packed, which is something that B&B needs today (and don't get be started on all the cheesy stuff with Aly and now Ivy) and what a scary situation for C.J to be in.....It was kind of funny how easily he beat 2 armed hitmen, yet IRL no one would survive a fall like that... Beautiful scene of Sally praying and Macy and Darla comforting her......it's such a loss having no Spectra ties on the canvas....not that they would fair as well anyways.... Stephanie really was the female Victor Newman of B&B the more I think about it....she probably would have had no problem actually beating him and getting to tell about it...LOL I forgot how much I enjoyed her sparring with Brooke, despite how tiresome it was sometimes.....her facial expressions when Brooke walked out killed me haha...

haha this might be depressing to watch when I get to it, knowing that we are near the last we saw of THE Sheila....:( lord I can't believe it's really been 10 years already.... No the Stuart scenes were from 1979, she then went on to marry Derek, only to have Kay "return from the dead" and kick her out of the house on their honeymoon night. That was at the end of 1979 though, so not too long before she left. I have never seen her last scenes but from what I can tell it wasn't anything major. The Derek/Jill/Kay story had pretty much wrapped up, or at least Jill's involvement. The last little part of it had Brock hire a private investigator to spy on Jill and Derek, he recorded a conversation they had and gave the tape to Kay. Kay showed the tape to Derek and wanting to prove she trusted him she refused to listen to it and put it in a safe. Derek didn't trust her and hired a cat burglar (one Douglas Austin, lol) to swipe it, he then made a fake tape with Derek telling Jill he was devoted to Kay and didn't want to see her (Jill) anymore. Just as Derek had suspected Kay held a party and played the tape (the switched one) and he managed to con Kay a little longer. This was basically the end of Brenda's run. Thanks for the info! It would be so nice to see all those scenes after hearing most of the audio clips from that story, including the famous scene where Kay scares the $%$^ out of Jill and she screams her head off...LOL Those scenes with the tape sound like fun though.

Oh I have those episodes! did you get to see them? I feel like during that time, they didn't really know what to do with Ryan and Nina as a couple (as well as Ryan's occasional butting his head into Victoria's lovelife) so they just did some random story arcs......I guess maybe they felt it would give Tricia some good emotional material or something. (and she did kill all those scenes.....I wish I had the episodes where she tells Ryan and they cry together) they also toyed on and off about Nina finding her real father and even hinted that when Jed Sanders first came on he was to be Nina's father but they dropped and changed the story with him getting involved with Nikki and Jill..... i still sometimes think if they should have let Nikki and Jack's child live....my inner paranoia can't help but wonder sometimes if Braeden demanded to Bell not to have Jack father Nikki's child (as she did miscarry their first one when she fell off the horse) but it's stupid to think as Bell always had the last say....unlike now...

Thanks! are these episodes from those dvd specials? I know you said before...LOL

Thanks for all the info about Jill everyone! I always enjoy knowing airdates for character's first and last episodes.... Yeah Brenda taped her final scenes as Jill the first time January 18, 1980 so I guess since it was 2 weeks ahead of filming that would lead to February 1, being her last airdate......(was that the scene from the clips I just posted of Stuart kicking her out of his house?) there doesn't seem to be a first airdate for her back in 1973 as she wasn't in the first episode.....I'm assuming she first aired sometime during that first week?

I haven't seen a whole lot of J.T runs, especially his early scenes, but the last couple of years he was on, I did enjoy his "take none of their crap" attitude he had with Victoria and her family.....I do feel they wasted Mackenzie on him though, maybe it was just Clementine's portrayal but it was lacking as far as I'm concerned.... If a miracle did happen and the show got back to Bill Bell or Kay Alden quality (we would truly need a miracle at this point) I still think it would be nice to see J.T back to usher a teenage Reed back, and from following in his mother's footsteps gets involved with somebody way too old from him (could be a girl or even a guy if the show ever decides to get over those silly issues) and it starts out sweet until he realizes he has trouble with sex as Victoria did with Ryan....that's the perfect opportunity to truly bring up a past story and use it in the present instead of just acting like you did (coughMABcough) I feel like after watching 1982 it would have been interesting if they just kept Leslie and Lorie on and maybe later bought in a teenage or at least early college age Brooks who turns out to be Phillip IV's secret lover

I think Deborah wanted to leave. I think Jerry Douglas (who was very close to her apparently) once said he ran into her years later and she "cried in his arms" because she was frustrated that she couldn't find anymore work,or regretted leaving show business to begin with.

Here's 2 more April 1992 episodes that follow the other 2 I had posted a while ago. 4/7/92 4/8/92

That's interesting that Jill almost tanked even back then....I guess that's why it's a good thing social media wasn't around yet as I'm sure everyone would be all over how OTT Jill had become with Brenda towards the end...... What did you think about Katherine and Dina plotting? I said after watching the 1982 clips that featured some of Allison that it would have been fun if Allison and Jill had teamed up to get back at Katherine,do you think that would have been a good idea or if it was even a good idea to write Allison off in the first place? You're very welcome Hard to believe these episodes are a decade old. I hardly remember anything since then nowadays. Merry Christmas to you too I'm glad I found that channel actually, they post a lot of Brenda Dickson clips on there. Speaking of that, I have to thank you again for all the effort, it's great being able to see anything Y&R-related before 1987. I'm glad to finally be able to see some more of Deborah Adair as Jill. Hey, I wanted to let you know I did watch a couple more of the 2005 shows.....I can't say enough how bad I feel that I'm not fully caught up since I only just finished 9/15/05 and 9/16/05, but I will get to the rest slowly but surely, haha! I still appreciate the hard work you've done! I forgot how fun those Sheila scenes are while she is posing as the waitress......I really miss Gina.For some reason Patty Weaver looks very unhappy,so I wonder if whatever health issues she already has was overcoming her then..... I always wonder if Sheila and Gina had scenes during her original run, I feel like they had to have known each other cause Gina was always one of those characters that seemed to know everybody when the main characters didn't that well, haha...the ending scene of her rescuing Gloria from joking and John and Michael just yelling at her was hysterical.... were they trying to hint at a J.T/Nikki pairing? I think that would have been an interesting idea, then waste Boretoria on him (though I guess they were pretty popular if I recall) I really could care less about Kevin/Mac and the coffee house.... I never really liked Brad, but it's funny how much I prefer him on these episodes then the arrogant ass Don Diamont portrays with Bill Spencer....he surprisingly seems to have decent chemistry with Heinle.... I'm sorry but I would never buy Yolanda hooking up with old Tucker......yes most of that stuff with YoHARMONY and Tucker was retcon after retcon, but like I said why didn't they just put her with Malcolm.....

Did Deborah leave on her own or did they fire her in favor of Brenda returning? She seemed to play more of a "mature" Jill compared to Brenda and even some of Jess, though I liked from what I saw in the clips they still kept some of the spunk Brenda (and later Jess) kept with her. I loved watching that scene of her rubbing it in Katherine's face that she was now a rich woman and wasn't intimidated by her anymore.....that seemed to really declare what the remainder of the Jill/Kay feud would be about in years to come...

Thanks! yeah these scenes were posted a year ago and I think had to be reposted because of copyright stuff, the second clip is from April 8, 1992 cause I just got the episode with those scenes....I got April 7 92 too, where Sheila gets the birthmark removed, but none of those scenes are posted....I will eventually get to posting those 2 shows! The dates range from March 17-April 15, 92 I think....They are basically the entire build up scenes to the lab fight and farmhouse. This is a crazy set of clips! Thank you so much for posting these! Some things for me that sprung to mind when watching (and also some questions that popped up): All the stuff with Eve Howard! I had no idea Julia Newman was involved in this as well! Quick few questions... What was going on with Victor's supposed "death" in those clips? Was he faking it for some reason? I loved that confrontation between Nikki and Eve - that was pure soap. Lorie Brooks and Vanessa Prentiss! And the courtroom scenes! So full on! Poor Lucas though Was Lance still on at this stage? On a related note, a farewell scene between Stuart and Leslie. Was this Leslie's final farewell from Y&R? The scenes with Jill and little Phillip - you could see the seeds being sown already for all the late 80s stuff with him, Cricket and Nina. Sounds like Phillip already hated his mother a great deal even as a young kid. It was implied that Jill had had a few boyfriends prior to that - was that actually the case? As an aside, very bizarre seeing Deborah Adair playing Jill here - quite understated, very human in fact (compared to what we would later see in the compilation with Brenda Dickson). Still on Jill for a moment - what was the story behind her and Stuart Brooks?? And also really fascinating to compare 70s Brenda with 80s Brenda in those clips? All the scenes with Dina, particularly against Brenda Jill. But the stuff that really stood out for me here was Dina and Ashley. Geez, Ashley HATED her mother with a passion, particularly that hospital room scene (I'm guessing Tracy was in the bed? What was the story there?) I also had no idea that Danny Romalotti was even on back in those days - and in storyline with Patti Williams?? I must admit I had a big WTF moment when I saw that clip with Michael Damian and Andrea Evans. I gather it was Andrea's Patti that shot Jack. But it looked like it was a different Patti that married Jack in the first place (and was that Danny looking on wistfully in the crowd during the wedding ceremony)? Speaking of wedding ceremonies, lovely to see snippets of Victor/Nikki #1. Side question: had Ashley become involved with the storyline by that stage? Nikki cradling Victoria after she fell down the stairs - so sad! And with Jack coming to the rescue afterwards! And lastly, Jill's car accident and Jack coming to her rescue - was that the lead up to THE hook-up scene with the Lindsay Wells photo and ensuing Katherine blackmail? Once again, a mega thank you for all these clips! Amazing to watch :) Your welcome! I was happy to see these clips included with my new dvds, I still have one more to post which is mostly more scenes of 1983-1984 involving more of the early parts of the Jack/Jill affair story....which was great to see as a while the 1985-1986 stuff dealing from Jill and John's divorce and the build up and aftermath of Jill getting shot was posted. It's funny cause of the Eve/Julia,Victor,Nikki scenes are already on youtube (I think posted from that same montage) but this is the most of Deborah Adair Jill I have scene.....I didn't even know they had brought a young Phillip back so he could meet his mother's new husband.....In the next set of clips is a scene where BD Jill calls a slightly older Phillip wanting him to come home for Christmas but he refuses....It was a sad scene yet understanding as you could see Jill clearly did not want her own son around during that time... I do believe that was Leslie's final scene which was a surprise to see! I think I read that she was the last Brooks sister to leave the show that time, though Stuart still stuck around a little after the show's 10th anniversary.... I always have that same thought about Danny, that I can't believe he was on that many years.....
