YRfan23

so this was before Vanessa's death?

wow, I had know idea they had an event like this......Lorie and Leslie (especially Leslie) Look beautiful!! Loved how Lorie upstages Leslie who looks like she's ready to strangle Lorie.....the dancing scenes were beautifully shot! what exactly was this ball for btw?..... great to see Katherine with Liz and Stuart.......I don't really know about much of Katherine's stories around this time though i'm guessing this Cashman guy is somehow involved with Nikki and the bayou I believe?.....I know Kay and Nikki had gotten to be friends at this point....

So I guess Brenda left the first time around January 1980 right before the show went to an hour.....That article confirms that if her last film date was Dec 20, 1979.....I know back then they filmed like only a week in advance for the live shows but I guess they had their Christmas break which lasts usually a week..... Wish we had dates for Bond and Deborah as Jill. I know bond was Supposedly only there for 6 months or so....then Deborah came on....

Thanks for posting that article....man what an ugly thing to happen.....still probably the worst thing to happen behind the scenes at any soap....I wonder if other cast members had to be questioned?.......

Yep it's her....she did appear on B&B from time to time before Y&R and yes Eileen was the one who suggested they cast her as Ashley.... I feel so bad for not making time to watch these 87 episodes....looks like we are gonna see lots of rare episodes....

Thanks, I wonder what became of this Charlie and who played him....probably left because Victor was too much for him.... Yeah it would be silly for Brooks not to say anything during that scene unless he was just too young so It probably was a different child actor....I will have to watch this scene again.... Kind of off topic but something I was just thinking about and wonder if someone could explain this a little better but, what exactly was the Nikki and Tony Disalvo marriage suppose to be about?.....I'm curious because I have seen both of those over the top scenes of with the horses and Paul,Andy and Mary with the pitchfork fighting Tony and his men then the scene where he holds Paul and Andy at gun point and shoots Cindy Lake, but I never understood how Nikki fit into all of this exactly as she is not in any of those scenes......Did Nikki ever have any scenes where she was some damsel in distress cause she was being held captive by Tony or his men....since he comes off so hammy I can just see a young hyperactive Nikki trying to fight him off with her famous loud voice and screams that I'm beginning to think was MTS's trademark from 1979 and the early 80's, LOL....

THANKS!!! I thought that Brooks was slightly younger since in the Vanessa suicide scene he didn't talk at all, but here he seems like he is at least 8 or 9 years old.....he is a good actor this child and that was a very touching scene....I also loved the split scene of Lorie/Leslie.... Victor comes off very cartoonish here yet still somewhat dark.....I was waiting for Lance to deck him and since this was way before Braeden dictated story he probably would have been able to get punched.....I did like how amused Lorie was when Victor was flirting with her in front of Lance..... so I'm guessing Lorie knew Nikki at this point but just didn't think it was her living with Victor.....I noticed a brief scene of Nikki and Douglas at the ranch.... Is Victor talking about Miguel when he mentions a houseman? I thought Tony Pena come on 1984 unless there was another actor at first?

Thanks I remember those scenes and I'm glad they are still on here....Marla Adams is amazing in those scenes, and Adair looks stunning in those brief scenes.... I echo about hopefully seeing more full episodes from 1980-1983 someday....

This is one the scenes I am referring too

Did Bond even share scenes with Jeanne? I still think that there were a few years (1980-1982) where they simply had Katherine and Jill not interact at all.... It's still a shame that Deborah Adair scenes as Jill are non-existent on youtube (give or take a couple scenes).....I love all the Lorie scenes but can't help but think of all the scenes with Adair as Jill that are probably floating around those episodes..... The only scenes of Adair as Jill that is still on youtube are those late 82 scenes where Katherine confronts Jill outside and in the Foster home? then that party Katherine threw where she tries to humiliate Jill by blasting her in front of everyone about their past with Phillip, then John sticks up for her and scolds Kay.... oh well....we waited a long time to see more Lorie scenes....I guess we will just have to wait longer for any of the early Jill and Kay scenes with Dickson, or more of Adair's run....

Then Wesley Kenney brought on Tracey Bregman, and Patty Weaver who both started on Days.....

Well perhaps JLB was just more of an "old school" Bill Bell actress then an NBC actress....I know her stint on Days was popular but I wouldn't think she would fit the style and writing of an NBC soap at first glance....

Not only Victor and Eve but there was also a flash of the iconic Victor and Nikki scene where she is dressed as the French Dutchess....you see a flashback of that in one of my 1992 episodes....amazing that those scenes are from one of the episodes shown in the clip!! anyways Dennis Cole is very John McCook like.....he sort of speaks like him but doesn't come off as corny at the same time....... It's still funny how about 8 years later they brought Robert back for Danny's cocaine trial in 1990....I like him a lot better here with Lorie and Lance then I do in the 1990 episodes....he was a real ass in those scenes..... his has to be early 1982 right? I'm really starting to notice how "modern" everything is becoming.....I guess some of it being the show being switched to an hour but I notice the music is being played more frequently in these scenes unlike in the 70's where they only play music at end of a scene.....also they are starting to use the"newer" cues that were kept till at least the late 90's early 00's I believe.... it's sort of sad knowing that Lorie's time with the rest of the Brooks and Fosters/Prentis was running out and the Abbotts were on there way.....

Conboy was still there....Kenney started around March 82 I believe?....

Yes!!! so been looking forward to this for such a long time!! my goodness those scenes were terrifying, Bill Bell was really good at doing mentally disturbing dream sequences....I don't think I have seen one like that before...omg those screams.I guess Lorie and Vanessa's fight in the dream was one of the show's earliest "catfights" the suicide scene was great, I had know idea that Lorie and Vanessa had gotten "friendly" and Vanessa used that to frame her....I just can't believe she would take her own life just to destroy Lorie.....I guess it shows how messed up she was.... Lorie's catatonic state was very well acted as was Lucas's reaction.....and wow never thought I would see Brooks, but wasn't he Leslie's son?.....that housekeeper looked a little like Betty White.... also liked that Carl was there doing the questioning and wow you see a hint of early Victor at the ranch in some of those scenes.... You don't know how much we appreciate your continued effort in posting these wonderful clips! still looking forward for more...

I agree about Chase, I know this sounds harsh but it's pretty stupid that Bell got rid of him when he clearly seemed like he was gonna use him more throughout the story...on the episodes I uploaded they even try to make it seem like out of everyone Chase was to be David's ultimate foil since there were scenes every now and then of them trading barbs.... They should have kept Chase and hooked him up with Nina after she was found not guilty and David's death, but have John Silva still try to get with her too....I can't say enough how much was wasted on Nina with Ryan.... I guess that's one thing in Bill Bell history that we sadly can't change....

It was one of the episodes but I think the shooting episode actually won her the Emmy, I believe they submitted the masquerade ball episodes for best show but they didn't get it that year... I'm pretty sure the Sheila farmhouse stuff won them the 93 Emmy For best show.

The singing really shocked me as I didn't know Corbett sang yet it could also be dubbed.. I had heard about this Nina centric episode and wasn't sure if it was entirely centered towards her....I guess bill bell didn't do many of these but it's a nice change....I know this is a different league but it sort of reminded me when they did stuff like this for passions with those tabitha and Timmy holiday flashback episodes where it was just them... David really was convincing early in his plans u do really feel for her....the ending when she cries and we hear David's evil laugh is a little terrifying.

But she was alive when they first came on then died offscreen right?

Question but was Casey and Nikki's mother ever on the show? I was glancing through some 1978 summaries (when Erica Hope was still Nikki ) and I didn't realize that they said their mom died in a car crash and this was late 1978?

Yes I remember those Nikki ones, I think I have them saved on my old computer but I don't know if they are still online.....I do think the one with Addison is still on the TV Guide site..... I guess Bill Bell had a handful with these battle of the Divas during this era....Lorie and Jill then with Nikki added on....I always prefer to think that Katherine and Jill will always be the man "stars" of Y&R but like I said I think if JLB could've stayed she would have been the show's "lead" The Erica Kane/Viki Lord of Y&R.....Katherine seemed to be more of the "Phoebe Tyler" type during that time though in our hearts she will always be Y&R's Grand Dame.... I guess that's what so great about Bill Bell's Y&R is that anyone of these ladies could have been the "lead" We have sadly lost that now....

Such Powerful Stuff!!! I'm beginning to wonder what might have been if JLB and Lorie never left....I feel like after watching all these scenes she truly was the "Erica Kane" of Y&R...... Loved getting to actually see Victoria Mallory as Lesle...she is very pretty, though a more subtle type of actress, she was more calmed then I think she should have been during that whole scene....but Man JLB should have won some emmys back then as well.... This indeed aired around January 1979, I looked it up from this website that has some old Y&R recaps for newspaper articles http://youngrestless.webs.com/1979

Cool! I always wanted to see stuff from that year, since some audio stuff with Katherine haunting Suzanne I believe is still on here from the same year....

Great to see Vanessa without her veils....she still looks as mean as she did before though.....Loved how she played Lorie like that and Lorie doesn't let her have the upper hand.... Who's voice was that at the end?

No again thinking it was the next episode but I don't have it at the moment...
