No, I think it might be from 8/18/95 which we don’t have but I’ll check. 
 

edit: the clip is from 8/17/95!  

Thanks!

"You don't want to be his wife, you want to be his widow!" is such an awesome line.

Love that!  

Was that 1995 clip one we had already?

I think Bryton has a real fondness for Melissa, and they have a friendship behind the scenes like Tracey and Christian, who tried for years to convince the writers to pair them. They explain it more in this interview: https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/icymi-bryton-james-and-melissa-ordway-interview/

Lauren and Michael popped onscreen way more and have a lot more chemistry. Devon and Abby I would say have a comfortable vibe together but aren't terribly interesting, but the actors probably feel it more than we do because they enjoy working together.

Yes, that's correct. You pretty much will still know why a show was preempted as well, but some of the time it will just say a generic special report. I was more speaking about myself personally...doing the charts for 1988-1992 will take a little more effort as opposed to how I was used to doing them from 1978-1987 (the way I preferred). But, yes, pretty much all of the info is still there (it just takes inference now, since they don't give the exact start time of the special report on that page, then you see that OLTL stopped airing from 2:22-2:27, so then it's obvious that's when the special report aired).

I won't be getting to 1991 for awhile, but for the War preemptions, here's a sample of three weeks from February 1991. I don't know what the "average minute audience rating" numbers are, but I am just posting these for the preemptions data:

Week of 2/4/91-2/10/91:

 

Week of 2/11/91-2/17/91:

 

Week of 2/18/91-2/24/91:

 

 

Thanks! It's interesting to see the raw data. Really hard to read, definitely prefer your charts. So for example on Week of 2/4/91-2/10/91 it looks like Days was interrupted during the 1-1:30 timeslot but resumed and aired from 1:30-2. But from this page, how can you tell which day of the week this happened? Or is that the cross-referencing you have to do? The page just says it's for the whole week. I looked on your site but of course, since this is not a full preemption it is not listed.

Definitely appreciate the work you do to put these together!

They don't give the duration, start time or end time of the special reports as of September 1987. ABC gives the start time at least, but not the end time. All they do is say a special report took place during the 130-2PM time frame or 2-230PM time frame, etc...  And it doesn't even say what day of the week it happened. Just that there was a special report at sometime between Monday to Friday between 2-230PM.

So, that leaves us with the program pages, which list what times the shows aired, so if a show didn't air from 212-218PM on a Tuesday, then you just match it up to whatever special report is listed in that time frame.

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS (FAST NATIONALS): WEEK OF 8/25/86-8/29/86:

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 9/1/86-9/5/86 & 9/8/86-9/12/86:

So, if I understand correctly, it sounds like you will still know that the show was preempted, but it takes more effort or is not always possible to figure out WHY? For me personally that is ok. For example I'd want to confirm if a show didn't air the day after Thanksgiving but it's not important to me to know what specific TV movie or sportsball game aired (though I am sure some enjoy that data). For unexpected ones, it is always interesting to google historical events on that day and figure it out. Learn a lot of history that way, haha.

RIP to the one and ONLY Billy Abbott for me

Here my tribute video I've done these last 10 days 

 

 

Beautiful. That makes me want to go back and rewatch every scene he's done (and that was hardly my favorite era of Y&R!). It's very poignant that the video ends with a death.

Y&R 

The Chancellor set. Apart from the fact that it has shrunk considerably, that bulky cheap looking sofa and chair bug me. Something more elegant would help a lot.

It looks absolutely nothing like the Chancellor estate. They should have just said it was a new house for Abby, or even pretend it's Brad's old house which I think she inherited.

Since Billy's 1999 SORAS, Jason Thompson has played him the longest (7 years).

And hasn't delivered a single memorable moment.

Just out of curiosity, when do they go back to being the correct airdates? Does that mean there's some incorrect preemption listed on sites for YR later in 1986 that doesn't happen?

 

What I think happened was some sites knew about the preemptions and some did not. I remember purchasing some DVDs for Y&R 1/31/86 and 2/4/86 which turned out to be the same episode, which I never understood until I realized 1/31 was preempted and, with the 1/28 preemption in addition, 2/4 was the actual airdate. 

I actually just looked at imdb again and the January and February dates have been corrected. This is probably because you posted about the two January preemptions several weeks ago in response to a question, in addition to posting the full ratings now I do see that imdb goes off track again for Y&R in September, because they don't have the US Open preemptions for 9/1 and 9/5. I don't think you confirmed those yet but I am reasonably sure on those from TV listings.

Thank you for the correction @YRfan23 I don't know how I missed that Challenger pre-emption. I was going by the date I saw on another site.

Those February dates for Y&R had long been incorrect on various sites because of the two unplanned preemptions, and now thanks to @JAS0N47 we finally have them confirmed! All of the imdb recaps after 1/28 are off.

(Moving this conversation here from the Vault update thread)

@AlexGrimaldi thank you for posting that clip of Ryan and Victoria! The date is May 20, 1992. I wonder if you have the clips from when Ryan was in jail, and Victor offered him a blank check? Would love seeing those again.

Hellllll yes!

Must be after she moved in with him, before the end of 1992. I know for sure that until august 1992 episodes there were two other dubbers for the characters. In the clip Victoria declares her endless love to Ryan. Victor is talking with Jack and believes that Victoria has made the biggest mistake of her life. Jack thinks Ryan genuinely cares for her. 

I noticed that Victor said something like "how can I let her be married to that jerk" so with that I narrowed it down to November when he found out about their marriage. I think it's November 24, 1992!

Something I cool I just discovered, This channel has  two clips of Jill/Liz/Katherine and Nina/Victoria from 7/30/93, In English!  I uploaded this full episode to the vault but only in French, so it's great to hear some of the scenes in English, considering Liz's 1993 return is pretty rare!
 

 

 

Great finds

I've got other missing episodes in english (since 2008) and I'll upload them gradually.

I uploaded in italian full 9-2-2003 and the first half 9-3-2003. And a 1992 clip (I guess autumn) about Ryan and Victoria. 

In Italy 1993 episodes didn't air in the original form. Many scenes were cut out. From july 1998 to march 1999 the tv network aired all Us 1993 episodes with a daily lenght of about 25-30 minutes and many scenes removed. 

Then, in march 1999 there was the time jump to catch up Us programming (november 1998) and the italian BB programming. No more scenes cut out. The YR/BB cross-over about Brooke's Bedroom (it aired in april and may) was pretty advertised by the press. They even bothered to do some tv promos. 

Thanks! Your videos are really excellent. Those exterior shots from Ashley's accident are so crisp and clear! It's like DVD/Digital quality.

This must be early in Ryan and Victoria's marriage.... maybe August 1992? She still seems happy.  Or maybe it is when she moved in with him some months later.

His mother put out this statement. He committed suicide.

I was truly hoping this would not end up being the case. I hope he knows how much he was loved and adored.

This is a fan's birthday tribute video but it has some cute moments of Billy with Jeanne Cooper and Kelly Monaco that I hadn't seen before:

I'm shocked. So young. He was an absolutely brilliant actor, certainly one of the bright spots on that era of Y&R. I too had always hoped he'd come back. He definitely played like the younger brother of Terry Lester's Jack. Just electric.

Is Michael Damian return timed for Lauralee Bell 40th anniversary episode?

Her anniversary was in July, so probably yes, they waited to hold her special episode until they were both available.

At least this Eric story is something other than someone being mad that their SO kissed someone else. I'm glad John McCook is getting stories at this age and his acting is better than ever.

What is with the constant references to the Forrester blood though? Are they trying to soft retcon the Marone story? And it's not Eric having dementia because Ridge and his kids talk the same way.

Guess we'll be seeing lots of soap stars on talk shows.

Another year completed Thanks @JAS0N47

Great! Hope she gives Little Nate a lecture.

Wow, another boy! Congrats to the family.
