Darn, I got excited thinking they meant his last airdate at Y&R!

Caught up on the week... Way to go Willow, she really handed Drew his ass. So she basically tried to kill him because he's obnoxious and won't STFU. I really liked that part where she said he just wouldn't leave her alone, wanted her to totally dependent on him... oh, how the tables have turned. I freaking love her. Great work from Cameron. When he blinked yes to admit he talked sh!t to Wiley... I saw a glimmer of hope in him to be redeemed. Perfectly played when Chase came. I'm gonna need for Chase to find out what she did and agree to keep the secret against his moral compass. Amelia didn't react to being reunited with her mom at all, I wasn't sure if that was the child actress or if they are going to play an angle where it's been so long she doesn't really remember her mom. Rocco's low self esteem... "we're not that good" and that little smile... this kid is so sweet (did we know he played hockey before? With how they fast they can work things into the show I'm half wondering if it's a Heated Rivalry reference...?). And now Britt is going to stay away and he's going to think it's him. Dante was 100% right but he does in a less obnoxious way then Lulu. Lol at Liz's smirk when he asked if she would trust her with her kids. And I'm a Britt fan! I hate the Anna story but Emma really moved me. Lulu and Nathan confiding in Laura and Nina was nice. I was glad they finally addressed her not being with Dante even though that's a cop out for the show. Nathan seemed like the old Nathan to me there. In the same way they shocked me by making the person arrested for Drew's shooting actually be guilty, I would love for the "twist" to be that it really is just Nathan and not a Faison clone or some other sci-fi crap. I am starting to see why people think Kristina and Jacinda will hook up... actually really interesting how Kristina was completely grossed out by Ezra (lol at him working out and taking selfies in the background) but Jacinda had to explain that in her world, you keep the options open in case everything goes to hell. This was the first time Jacinda was interesting and not just a prop. Curtis gave Alexis some really solid reasons for wanting Portia to take the test, but then he just goes and threatens her, why?!

Maxie!

They consider Paul as still being on the show, he was on the phone with Daniel when Heather died and couldn't make the funeral. 😅 Can't wait to see more scenes of a psycho plotting in that one hotel room!

GH especially deserves to keep the audience that tuned in.

I will watch with interest but I'm laughing at all the offscreen connections. Both shows rely way too much on explaining and not showing stuff. EB has been posting videos from Atlanta giving his opinions on recent political happenings. I wonder if he tried to get anything like that in Victor's keynote speech since it's supposed to be a political fundraiser. I doubt anything makes it to air of course.

The Guiding Light thread moves faster 🤣

Totally with you.

Maybe it's better this way. Since they don't have to write this into long term plots, it goes on the air quicker. I'm curious if the tribute episode will be the characters remembering Luke or the actors talking like the Jeanne Cooper tribute.

Any fan of classic YR knows he would be like " ohhh sh!t" when he hears that name.

Thanks!

Awww. They are sweet. Seems like they take their roles seriously. That's cute that they, like us, kept waiting for things to progress.

10 years, not one memorable moment. Even AH is a better recast.

Thank you, I am aware there have been people uploading large batches of B&B upgraded episodes. I don't have time to sort through them all, so I could delete if someone tells me exactly which folders/episodes to delete, otherwise I don't trust myself not to delete something that was important, because some episodes had various problems like missing music and things, and I don't want to delete the wrong ones. I don't have the episode either. Thanks for these corrections, please keep posting them so I can delete/clean up as you watch. There's a lot of duplicates in GL, you can also let us know if one was more complete or better quality so I can delete the extras. Thanks for uploading!!! I made the corrections. I've also uploaded a few random GL episodes that weren't in the Vault. Not sure if they post here, but there's someone named machineguy97 whose attempt in the Y&R Vault did not go through.

I had gathered all of the links to those ratings here, I believe it does cover Y&R's entire run, but if you have questions, I can probably answer them 🙂 https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/41800-ratings-from-the-70s/?do=findComment&comment=2028559 May 17, 2006

He's dead on the show. She was just saying her instinct was to call him in this situation, which was impossible. She was drawing a comparison between her situation and Luke when he was under mobster Frank Smith's thumb and not in control of his own life (the night Luke raped Laura, he had been ordered to put a hit on someone and wanted to commit suicide... I'm sure someone knows the history better than me). I actually wonder if this scene was somehow added in last minute after Geary died, otherwise it's quite the coincidence.

I love Drew's swooning face when she blows smoke up his ass. He really buys it, and I think, even loves her. Ouch at Brad's fairly accurate list of people Jason puts above Britt. I don't even think he mentioned Jason's kids. Accurate. (Danny might rate above Sonnys lesser children, like Avery).

I'm all about the Thursday spoiler.

He's a Navy Seal, he's a Congressman, he's a patriot! 🤣 What really made it work is on paper it was mostly true but the context and his performance made it unhinged Jason is a hitman, yet Drew looked like a lunatic there.

I can't remember the last time a soap did a reveal that I was invested in and didn't know the outcome before watching. At least a decade! Probably much more. I was sure she didn't do it, because she got arrested. Love it. If I'm a juror, since Drew is fine with her, I am too. Not guilty! Alexis killed it in court (oh, I LOVED her paralegal and that folder). And in spite of the reveal, I think Chase was right, lol. The case is weak. I like that Dante is questioning himself. He does have a blind spot for Michael and Sonny. Katelyn M is amazing. She was great on the stand. Never been a fan of CM but he has been cracking me up with his backseat driver antics and reactions and now the breakdown (but the content of what he was saying was kind of valid?). Unpopular opinion, would be nice if Rory Gibson showed any reaction other than smug face. Hope Willow gets away with it and then gets Michael next. Aunt Liesl would be proud. Interesting getting Gio involved at the last minute, doing something that might have betrayed Michael. Kind of wild that Michael is nearly implicated in a murder and Sonny is all zen, and Carly and Jason aren't going nuts and having Spinelli frantically hacking every camera in town to find evidence against Willow. Different times.

I feel bad for Tamara Braun. All of her scenes involve her reminiscing about the good old times with a random character. I actually thought they might hint that Sienna and Tessa had been involved.

Did we get a glimpse of the elusive "Victor's men" today?! The whole episode felt weird. The actors are capable but these were like speeches from a movie or a novel... all the women throwing themselves at you, how you like the rough ones...because this storyline never happened onscreen, nor did the supposed intense love story between Noah and Sienna. All basically new characters, brought in way at the end of a long story arc for the climax, and likely all dropped as quickly as they came in. Just bizarre storytelling. The ending there felt a bit like a nod to the latest season of Dexter.

Ian was with pre stripper Nikki. So he should be the right type!

Nope. If JG finds out, we may get Ian Ward, lmao. Which I actually think Tricia Cast would kill, but ugh, lol.

1998 should be season 27. Anyway, it's up in the Vault now (main folder, under paisoaps, the name of the uploader). And the next episode 9/14/98 is under under The Young & Restless Vault/Full Episodes/1998/September (shockingly for Y&R, that month is pretty much intact so it is possible to follow the rest of the story for a while).
