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...

Thanks! very interesting list! I didn't know Brian Matthews (Eric) was on till 85.

Haha that's so cool!

oh lord...just skimming through 2/14/86...so glad to see the episode again where we hear Lauren's "travelogue with a lunatic" @DRW50 I remember that's what you called that episode...wayyy back when btm85bubs uploaded the same episode, LOL

Thanks for all of this!!😁😁

I can’t believe it’s been 13 years already...😔😔

WTF!!!!!!!!!????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Haha my bad....I just realized u were just going by contract dates and not actual first appearance Do you know when Teri Ann Linn first appeared as Kristen in 87?

Saul and Darla were definitely on by Jan or Feb 1989 Hunter Tylo debuted on June 6, 1990

I'm glad I was able to fill in more holes!

Thanks my friend! still a few more to fill in but we will get there!

Here's also some 1995 episodes I just got I had to put 2/3/95 as a download link because of a copyright claim 😕 http://www.mediafire.com/file/4oflimhqll2f3qh/February_3%2C_1995.mp4/file
