Guys! Another 1984 episode! From 9/24/84!

Haha, I just prefer to yell! “Esther!..will you get that please!” 😂

Still sounds like fun though!! the thought of Suzanne and Vanessa getting coaxed to buy flowers from these young hippy cult members! Haha

I guess it’s really that much of a chore now to watch, since I already just “listen” to the the show when I’m on my daily walk around the neighborhood…I barely pay attention to what’s onscreen anymore 😂😂

Oh I want to see that Nikki/Vanessa scene though!! 😂😂

Damn! That's unbelievable! This was such a jam back in the day!

Haha honestly Michael D, didn’t sound too hot on that one either 😁😁😂 but I think it’s because TEB was WAY off key!! She actually sounds better a few years later when she performs summer 1989 imo

I think Lauren’s worst vocals was when she and Danny sang a cover of Survivors “I can’t hold back” from that December 1984 episode.

It's always frustrating when the Commercials don't really give a lot of hints, but I'm gonna say this episode aired Friday July 27, 1984! based off of the promos saying "MONDAY" like I think they would on Friday! like @yrfan1983 said, not the most eventful episode, but still a lot of fun to watch! I agree Jack was in full playboy mode flirting with Diane, and making out with Lindsay! This is the true Jack Abbott, who was a womanizer and a cad! My favorite part was him going through his little black book...I kind of like to imagine the Angela he mentions (who gained weight) is Angela Lawrence, but I don't think they ever interacted....LOL Always love Lauren in full bitch mode, I agree, The singing is always corny, but I did get a laugh at the host bobbing along to the music! I didn't realize Ashley and Eric were still this close, after the aborted wedding. Echoing what everyone says, he's definitely just another generic "hunk" who wouldn't have been a good match for Ashley in the long run. The Jill and Marc Tennis date was fun, and Brenda D. Is definitely starting to play it up with the campiness! Not as bad as it became by 1986, but still noticeable

Yes!!! thanks so much for posting this! Can’t wait to watch this one!

Wait what?!??!? she finds this out before Lauren does?

Now if anyone can call out Steffy for who she is, it would be Nikki!

It's my favorite archetype too, but only when the other characters acknowledge their behavior in the appropriate way..and not treat her like an adorable 10 year old wanting mommy and daddy back together...

I've never understood why it seemed like she was rewarded for her slutty behavior, while constantly allowed to bash Brooke and the Logans....I feel like she was probably Stephanie and Taylor's revenge against Brooke, because they both should have shamed her for her actions....I mean for gods sake didn't she try to seduce Oliver when Hope and her family were attending Beth's (Sr's) funeral?

I know we got quite a few classic episodes during Covid, but thinking about when GH turned 50, almost 10 years ago, and they got that classic marathon on Soapnet, I wish they would give Y&R their own classic episode marathon...or at least release classic ones for streaming, leading up to the 50th.

Yes exactly! The fact Steffy is never hold accountable for any of her own crap makes my stomach turn...Liam should have been done with her, and Bill should have just finally got with Steffy.

From what I recall, he didn't necessarily dislike Brooke. He would throw out some jabs about her because of her past scandals. One thing that he said which didn't make much sense, is that he thought Hope was wrong for Liam because she brought "drama" everyone with her, like her mother....Then like 6 months later is when "Brill" began. 🙄 I think when Hope was with Wyatt, Bill warmed up to her, yet when it comes to her and Liam, he constantly backtracks from thinking "they belong together", to him saying "Steffy made you a better man son" 🙄 sigh...I swear this show....This plot convoluted hot mess of a show....

I never really understood Bills hatred for Hope, Besides the fact he obviously wishes he was with Steffy, and pushed Liam on her only for that reason alone. The story is so contrived anyways, but really I can’t help but think if this were an NBC soap, Steffy would be the conniving bitch who would face the wrath of the equally conniving and protective in-law who would want them no one near their son (like Kate with Sami or Ivy with Theresa)

Honestly I’d love to meet the entire cast of B&B to really make my feelings known about their characters and how i wish they had a way to convince their boss to write better stories.

Why though???...

Well that was Passions in it's entire run also...

Well dang! I want to see that scene! That’s too bad about Brooke, but it’s always fun to see Ridge get his ass beat! 😂😂

Y&R: Adam, Phyllis, Billy, Nick B&B: Ridge, Steffy , Thomas

I mean they already had planned for Brooke to be Stephanie’s successor all the way back when she was against Rick/Amber. There’s just no way she’d let a child like Steffy treat her and her family like that… I do wish the Marone stuff would be brought up from time to time because I’m tired of the hypocrisy of Ridge, Taylor Thomas and Steffy, but if they never done that (which they shouldn’t have in all honesty) I probably wouldn’t be as annoyed, with this whole Forrester vs Logan BS. It just seems like Bradley does write the “pure blood” Forresters as more of the “good guys” (which honestly isn’t fair to really say because besides Eric, we don’t see Thorne,Felicia, Kristen) and not really as anti-Logan and the bad/shadier “Forresters” have always seemed to be Ridge and Tridge kids. (Sans Phoebe) who have inherited Stephanie’s longtime hatred of Brooke and her family (except Ridge of course). Something that Massimo shared too.

It’s always easy to blame Griffith and the writers, but I’m starting to think there’s some written mandate for CBS/Sony that they can’t actually tell teen stories anymore on their soaps. Or even build teen sets.
