So somebody that’s in a classic Y&R group that I’m in posted a couple days ago that they emailed the SONY archives and asked if the entire Y&R series exists in their archive and if they ever plan on streaming the show. He got a reply from them stating yes, the entire series is in their archive and they also are considering streaming the entire series. That’s definitely a step in the right direction because before this, I thought they’d had no plans to stream it whatsoever! Do you guys think they’d really do it??

GASP??!?!?!?  These people have hearts afterall???

From Barbara Crampton's IG - Y&R throwback to Leanna meeting Katherine Chancellor for the first time!

 

I think that’s from the episode in my playlist from 8/20/1990

Hope to Liam: 'Mom needs to be with someone she knows'

Liam rules out Deacon, Ridge, Bill.

Hope wonders who else knows/understands Brooke.

Brooke: 'I need to be with someone I know.'

B&B never drops accidentally hints. I suppose they really are going to go there with LIam when Hope has a meltdown over Douglas or something weird with Thomas or Hollis goes crazy and Liam saves Brooke, etc.

Brooke has climbed the Forrester and Marone trees, I guess the Spencer tree is inevitable.

Not that Bradley is really gonna go there, but I got the impression that was leading towards Taylor

Look those breakdowns under Josh are not going to be too difficult to write.

Some office scenes with mumbo jumbo about digital platforms and podcasts.

Instant takeover of companies and appointments of a new CEO and COO.

A few half hearted confrontations in the same empty public places.

Done!

And Billy and Adam, day after day after day after day after day after day after day...........................

Holy F#%%!!!  I was hoping this was news that Griffith was fired….Everyone has basically said it but clearly CBS/SONY wants to bury this show before it can get to 65 years…Griffith has no clue what’s he’s doing and this is gonna just be more of a nothing show then it already is…even worse then that though. 

Passions - Ivy/Theresa. They became closer when Ethan first choose Theresa over Gwen, then of course after Gwen framed Theresa for the tabloid scandal, Ivy turned against Theresa for the remainder of the show, until the final 2 episodes.

Umm I like Sally but this is ridiculously out of hand with JG: 

  Hide contents

Apparently the 2/21 episode is another of JG’s fantasy episodes regarding the paternity and contains no conclusion or story momentum. 

In other words a standalone episode that can be easily skipped. Similar to GL’s Inside the Light Wednesdays back in the day.

Gosh, now I'd love to see her and Braeden in something together...they would despise each other!

 Carla's LAST Episode

Was this really her last episode? It just seems so underwhelming to have her exit like that, even if Rauch orchestrated it this way. 

I'm glad she's surfaced in a few of these 1985 uploads. For as depressing as it is, knowing what was happening behind the scenes with Ellen during all this, It's just nice when we see her appear in these episodes. I wish there were more complete years with her available, even 1983-1985. 

Why??   I mean this was the nicest thing the show did was make this channel and air these episodes and now they decide to butcher them??....I shudder to think how old Y&R videos would look now on an official channel if they keep up with this.  

Is at least Season 7/ 1993 ok? since they are still uploading those?

So extremely sad about this...

I’m sure JLB and Janice Lynde will be back but if they reach out to Trish Stewart and Pam Peters that’d be awesome too! 
 

If only they didn’t kill off Liz because I’m sure Julianna M. Would gladly appear. Maybe Liz can make a ghostly visit to Jill? Haha

Wonderful news. Did they already have Lorie and Leslie - did their appearance a year or two ago count for this?

(did Lorie even have one?)

Lorie and Leslie first had one in 2018 for the shows 45th, they had scenes with Jill and Esther. Then Leslie came back in the fall of 2021 for Victorias wedding to Ashland Locke. 

And LEANNA!!!! Finally!!!  

Ok….I’m stoked tbh!!

PSSNs - Campy, Wacky, Dramady, Supernatural, Unrealistic, OTT characters.

DOOL - Also Campy and supernatural, but to a lesser extent then PSSNS, family oriented, Action Adventure, Super couples, Romance, Super Villains,  Comedic

Y&R - Moody, Gothic, Old Hollywood Style acting and Lighting, Dry subtle Humor, Cooler Characters that leave lasting impressions, Beautiful looking actors and actresses, psychological , rich, seductive, Business oriented, Lush and Lavish

B&B - Similar to Y&R in style and mood, scandalous, sexy, Incestuous, Glitz and Glamour, Beautiful Remotes, Campier then Y&R

Wonderful list @BoldRestless!  

In no particular order:

1.) Katherine

2.) Jill

3.) Nikki

4.) Victor

5.) Jack

Watched today’s Valentine Day episode:

-Watching Victor and Nikki in love with Victor showering Nikki with new fancy necklace felt like old school Y&R. The flashbacks were charming as well.

-The Daniel and Lily scenes were nice and the flashbacks to 2005 were good, but was a bit puzzled by the 2011 flashback (Daniel finding out Lucy is his daughter while talking to a still in mourning and being gaslighted Lily) being used as “troubled times” for the pair. Then again at least they saved us from Latham’s porn addiction flashbacks. 
 

-Sally’s WTD story is unnecessary, but I liked Sharon and Sally connecting along with Nick and Victoria’s “older & wiser” scenes. It’s a nice change of pace although the mention of Sage Warner’s name was completely unnecessary as well. 

It amazes me how good the shows budget was in 2005. They could at least have a real location shoot for Daniel and Lily. The dressing up as fruit, selling smoothies seems very classic soap humor, especially for Y&R. After hearing her podcast interview, I feel like that is the Y&R Sally Sussman wanted to give us back.

That was actually very cute!  I always love it when Braeden appears in these little videos.

Did Heather and Kimberlin ever have scenes together on YR?

They Did not, I actually enjoy seeing them in scenes together, despite not liking the whole Sheila/Bill thing. I almost imagine it's Sheila vs Victoria. haha

Dorothy McGuire's arc was two months, May-July 1984. I think it was mentioned here that it was a big deal back then for Y&R to get a Golden Age Hollywood actress in a short arc.

And it’s amazing how much they covered In only a few short months, Cora died 7/25/84. I would think a story like that would be a 6 month arc
