Here's the end of a November 1992 Y&R episode with some Ryan/Victoria/Victor/Nikki scenes from another date. With Hebrew Sub tittles

You can see a bit of him auditioning in this clip.

Thanks! that was neat early ED interview. I take it she probably was just a little shy since she hadn't done a lot of interviews beforehand?

Thanks so much for this treat! It's rare to really see anything from this time!

Your welcome! I'm glad more of the late 90's early 2000's are surfacing...it's not really my favorite era, but it's always nice to see considering how most of the soaps took a dive by the mid 90's.....Y&R was in good shape and watchable till the mid 2000's.

Very interesting...but the Williams weren’t actually introduced all at once were they? I know we met Paul, but I always thought After Carl came in we didn’t meet rest of the family till Spring.

I can’t picture Eileen doing an ABC soap for some reason....

That's cool! I wonder if we ever got any scenes of Liz and Jennifer checking in with each other over coffee or something? unless they didn't socialize as much outside of gatherings for their children. Bill Bell could have probably did a "Sheila" type of story with Snapper and Chris if he wanted......but I guess as of 2019 they are still happily married offscreen, LOL

It was a great episode! I always figured the Brooks and Fosters had some interaction with Chris and Snapper being married, but it was just great to see Jill with the 4 Brooks sisters all being like family.....I guess things fell apart when she married Stuart.

I can picture a brief interaction happening like that! Bill Bell seemed to always do that whenever characters who didn't cross paths at all shared a phone conversation. but that's so amazing! I have to point out too (and I apologize if this was mentioned way before) but when Snapper and Chris married in 1974. Jill was a bridesmaid and did share scenes with the entire Brooks family when they were helping Chris get ready.( I watched the episode at the Paley Center) It seemed like Jill and Chris were good friends, but also Leslie seemed to like her too, and Jennifer was very friendly towards her....Lorie obviously was indifferent because I guess she had just gotten back to town a couple months earlier.

I like that.....It always makes it easier for me to know "who's who" which like you said was probably Bill Bell's intent.

haha...Y&R is definitely "off-beat" for sure....and this is coming from someone who was a fan of "Passions" but Y&R has always been such a unique animal, in the soap world......with it's production and somewhat "old-fashioness" but yet still up to date on the current culture.....that's what intrigues me about it the most.

You have such a good memory! I bet you could recite the first 6 years of the show by heart! In a bizarre way 80-82 Y&R does sound " fan-fiction-ness" with the random interactions and such!

Found a couple more episodes on the archive site from 1999 and 2000. https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A"Young+and+the+Restless+soap+opera"

OMG this is amazing!!!😁😁😁 thanks so much!!

Haha yes it was! No worries I saw that the other guy (Mark Sussman) has done a lot of casting for movies and tv

Really?? I never knew that! I will have to go back and check! LOL

Heh...go figure...IMO old VHS tapes are one of the only things worth holding onto and hoarding.

That's awesome! hope you would be able to transfer them to DVD if possible!

Stephanie was always an obnoxious shrew (yet at least had more heart also the first decade or so) but half of what she became is why sometimes I wouldn't be able to stomach her hypocritical mouth anymore on this show.... and I realize it was never Susan's fault that Bradley got his jollies wet seeing Stephanie being physically, emotionally and verbally abusive..........just because he thought that Sh*t was hilarious...

There definitely was some sort of deal set in to make Susan stay longer, because I think she had grown tired of the show at least a decade or so before she actually retired...

It still amazes me you can find so much 70's/early 80's material for AMC/OLTL/GH and ATWT/GL but Y&R is just a luck of the draw.... 😕

I'm glad Weaver at least remained a strong presence as Gina, even if she was mainly a talk to for Danny and Rex, when she didn't have her own story....and they always did seem to "tease' Clint's return from jail over the years by having Gina being depressed about him, or reading a letter he had sent....which is jarring to how they re-wrote Clint's return in 2009 where he was bad all over again.

I think Gina had just been recurring around that time, Kay Alden put her back on contract around 1999 or 2000 along with the other “side” characters like Miguel and Mary etc...
