Was Michelle S right? Was Phyllis really only supposed to last 3 weeks? What was supposed to happen... Danny and Cricket reunite in '94?

Every "new" Character that Bill Bell brought on, always seems to say the same thing, they weren't suppose to be on that long. KSJ was suppose to be only a few days, Kimberlin B. Said, Sheila was originally only suppose to be around for a month, and Scott Reeves revealed recently, Ryan was only suppose to be on for 3 Days...

EileenD mis-speaks when she says Ashley had the first abortion on daytime TV... Erica Kane had the first, in the 70s

Yeah, I had to think about that, but it definitely was Susan Lucci/Erica Kane. Haha the Y&R actors definitely like to take credit for having the "first" something. First Janice L.  with saying Brad and Leslie were the "first ever Super Couple" on a soap, and now Eileen saying Ashley had the "First" abortion  

I just tuned in...I like the rare glimpses of behind the scenes stuff they are showing. Gotta watch more to fully make up my mind on it.

Agreed! But a segment on Jill and Katherine, and no mention of another Jill besides Jess

That's a shame  I mean they showed her during the Covid repeats, so she shouldn't be excluded.

Just another Thudley Way to fall!!! Am I missing any?

 

LOL Amber fell twice??  I forgot about Bill Falling.

Not the first time Sheila’s gone off a balcony either as she jumped off one in her wedding dress in 1997…..

 

I’m wondering @YRfan23 if Thudley will give us that scenes of Sheila’s body laying on the ground and missing a show

Haha, Everyone's already pointing out that Thudley is reusing the same shot of Caroline going over the balcony a decade ago!! 

Sheila is probably gonna land in the pool.  

In Spring/Summer 1992 I know Traci’s novel she was working on was called “Impasse” which was loosely based on her falling relationship with Brad.

Yep. Pretty much.

We never see Staffords Phyllis especially get slapped by anyone, not since  2012 with Nina at least. 

I’m sorry to say this but seeing Phyllis get slapped is always satisfying.

In a couple of years of not mentioning Paul, perhaps Heather will spot him in an airport, but he's with another woman. Christine will finally be ready to move on with a new man, since Paul disappeared all those years ago, which confuses everyone because they thought he was just at the station this whole time. Heather tries to jog his memory, but it doesn't work. When she runs into Paul at Society, Christine faints. Finally, Paul will decide to move back to be with the other woman because he can't cure his amnesia...

Haha, I mean it does honor history if they did that 4-5 years down the road...maybe for the 55th anniversary?

That was a fun interview and fun group of people they gathered for this! CLB definitely dominated most of the interview though, which isn't a surprise. MCE seemed a little out of place when JT left, but I'm glad she's fascinated with the show's history and stories that were shared.

Thanks @BoldRestless that was a lot of fun, and very important to have as a tribute to their contributions to Y&R (the closest we'll get, anyway). Wish we could have had some of this in the episodes. 

I'm glad they did mention Victoria Mallory.

Given that they mention Brad I wonder if there was any attempt at interviewing Janice or JLB with Tom Hallick, unless there's some bad blood there.

@vetsoapfan you may enjoy this interview if you haven't already seen it.

Good point! Hopefully Fairman or somebody did an interview with Hallick and maybe Janice.

Janice Lynde, John McCook and Jaime Lyn Bauer Interview - Y&R 50th Anniversary Party

 

 

So fun to see those 3 together!!  It's interesting because I do think Victoria's Leslie played most of the Lorie/Lance/Leslie triangle, but It's fun to see them all reminiscing! JLB especially looks great! 

Leanna!!

what Happend between her and Jack though that he can’t stand her now too? I thought they were still friends and even sleeping together in 1999/2000

Also Jill vs Mamie!!

Joshua Morrow?

That would’ve been fun!!! I was actually wondering what your thoughts were (sorry if I scrolled past them though funny I found this thread just as I had watched today’s opening lol). 
 

I don’t mind the font, it would have been better if it was in gold than the red for the 50th. The city skyline is completely out of place. As far as Y&R goes it reminded me of the Newman Enterprises logo font.

 

 

The bad thing is this still looks better 29 years later, Nikki head spin and all:

 

Haha, I feel like it's only fitting since in a way Nikki is kind of the new "grand dame" I think Jill deserves the tittle more, but with Jess Walton's schedule and not being on much that won't ever happen unfortunately. 

Overall I guess the intro isn't that bad the more I see it. (Did they finally update Stafford in the dress, with Braeden and MTS now?) Like I said the intros have kind of been uninspired since 2003.

The could have easily recreated the 1988-99 opening on a white background and I wouldn’t have minded it at all. 

I actually wouldn't have minded them recreating the Rex/Katherine necklace scene but with Victor putting it around Nikki's neck instead! that would have been great!

The porn theme was fine when it first appeared.  But after a few years, when it became evident that it was too expensive to update, it became comical that dead people (Ryan and Malcolm) were still spinning around and greeting us warmly.   

(Eventually they caught on they could delete a dead character & drop in a living one who'd already been photographed, but for months -- or years -- the dead ones were still spinning around.)  

That was often fairly a problem with the 88-99 opening too. We still had Phillips face into early 1990 when he died in May 89, and Cassandra spinning around lasted an additional 6 months until the updated fall 1991 intro. Then We still had Rex In the opening well into 95 until they updated that one.

Yep... we know Marguerite Ray appears 5/9/90 and Veronica on 5/16/90... possible Veronica debuted on 5/10, 5/11, 5/14, or 5/15.

They do seem to announce it more then once when a recast comes in. I think they did that for Brenda Dickson upon her 1983 return based on the vault clips. 

You are the best @ChickenNuggetz92!! 

Man I got worried for a second something had happen to him.  

as for bringing him back…well without Heather Tom I don’t think it would work. Now if he came to B&B I wouldn’t mind even if Bradley Bell would lose interest after 6 weeks.

Mamie: "how's your mother doing?"

Billy: "same as usual."

Mamie: "too bad."

Haha that was awesome!! 

I feel silly because I was thinking Mamie and Billy’s relationship goes back to when he was a teenager, but then  i remembered she practically raised him when he was a baby, especially when his parents were going through their divorce drama.she even was hoping her, John and Billy would become a little family once Jill was out of the picture.  

Not gonna lie I choked up a bit when Jack told Mamie “welcome Home”

Hey, it's not flipping through still pictures yet.

Haha as soon as people said skyscrapers I was thinking they had “GH’d” their opening.

Is this a definite new opening or they using this just for the 50th?

they haven’t really tried to make their intros appealing since 2003 or so, so I expected nothing less then the cheapness of this one.
