BTG: Encore Discussion Thread
Yeah, I watch daily but I miss stuff . The writing can be subtle, in a good way, and I only know later because I read it on here. Like Leslie mentioning brownies to Martin before her big speech or the Hayley pregnancy details from the hospital. I'd be curious to revisit some details like the crooked cops to see how the details from earlier fit in now.

BTG: Encore Discussion Thread
Unless we hear otherwise, I'm just assuming this is to save money by not paying to produce shows to air during slow holiday weeks, which doesn't bode well for late summer, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. CBS has skin in the game on the production here. It's really not a good precedent at all.

Oh yikes at MVJ not knowing. They should have at least given production and the cast good talking points.

BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread
What I mean is that I heard about the reruns and that they were being discussed in this topic. Since that news was so surprising I wanted to read the discussion, which caused me to open this thread with current show discussions which was a spoiler for me because I'm not caught up. Ideally that sort of general information wouldnt be in the current show discussion thread. I get that you didn't have enough information to make a formal post, it's just unfortunate, sorry about how I worded it.

Of course!

BTG: Encore Discussion Thread
I'm frustrated this wasn't a separate topic since I haven't watched Thursday yet and don't want to be spoiled. Frankly now I wish I had banked more episodes now that there's a week off. What a terrible precedent. I hope this doesn't become a thing where they take a week here and there to save money. GH does this but at least it's spread out through the year one episode at a time. This is bad timing considering they just made that EW list.

Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread
In a few years, we will look back on this and think at least back then they had the budget to spray water on the actors. Someone will be cutting that line item soon. It's just as good to have them hold a towel. And then eventually they won't have props either.

DAYS/Y&R: Casting Shocker!!
Oh, it's always great when soap writers do that! I think he died. Cane was killed and came back as a "ghost" but it turned out the ghost was the real Cane and the evil twin was killed. Lol.

B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
Whoa, I didn't realize they were offering it with audio in different languages! I've seen that done with subtitles, never audio. Would be more interesting to have one of the foreign dubbed episodes translated back into English to see how it comes out. I just tried with jdownloader and it grabbed the English version of episode 4607.

JG has done the impossible. I miss Goddard! I will say that CK was good reaming him out.

Y&R: Old Articles
Yes, Rhonda Friedman. He had also played the attorney in Caroline's rape trial. I would not have objected to having both actors on the show. Michael Crawford was a divorce attorney and John Silva could have stuck to criminal law. I think Y&R had a bigger stable of recurring lawyers than other shows so they could mix it up a bit. A friend sent me this fun video: Terry Lester and Lillibet Stern on Dance Fever

Ratings From the 90's
Yep, 2 for March Madness, 4 for UEFA Soccer, and 1 rerun on Memorial Day. The last one caused an issue where the Canadian broadcasters weren't aware, and broadcast a new episode, putting them a day ahead like Y&R is (but Y&R is meant to be that way). Actually not sure if that was ever resolved!

Ratings From the 90's
Yes, yuck! Soccer now too (but mainly BTG because Y&R and B&B aren't preempted nationally for that). At least you don't have to deal with it for DAYS. I'll work on it and post when you get up to to current times.

Y&R: Old Articles
Oh wow, he definitely could have played another Newman brother! Funny because he looks a little like Peter Bergman after he shaves it off. It's a shame he didn't stay on and was essentially replaced by John Silva. He was good in the courtroom scenes and as Jill's sometime lover. Even saved her life when she got shot.

ARTICLE: Veteran Soap Opera Producer & Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient Edward J. Scott Retires After Nearly 50 Years
I know you can only say what you can say but I wonder is there some reason for her being there having to do with the actual show or is this just she needed some credits toward her pension or something? Ever since Steve Kent joined, I've gotten the vibe that Y&R is seen as somewhere to park people who just need a paycheck, and they just keep cutting the production budget to bare bones. I bet there's a lot of bloat they can cut to reinstate the overnight camera crew and other necessities.
