How are they going to say this was in "honor" of Women's History month, LMAO. A show about "mothers and daughters" but with the same BS as every day, one set of harpies cackling and the other set being utterly pathetic. The same slop all centered around Ridge except at least we were spared seeing him in the episode. Hope's speech was fire and she was spitting absolute truth at loser Brooke so of course they had to undo that and have her weeping at the end. Give Annika the damn Emmy! Heather Tom's acting was on point but it felt incredibly indulgent and unnecessary inserting herself into that scene. It was like, let's give the voice of reason Katie (at least as she sees herself!) also castigate Hope just to make sure the audience understands Hope is soooo evil! Hope should have been like "b!tch you're just jealous I had your man!" I wanted Hope to walk out and tell Brooke she was moving out with her kids and she'll see her again when she gets over Ridge. Can Ridge's decision PLEASE be final and he and Taylor ride off into the sunset?

Naomi calling out her IQ. 🤣

My girl is giving the OG

It was sweet how Bill was kind of proud of Naomi and impressed with how she was going against him. I laughed when he said this will never see the inside of a courtroom, thinking of how true this would be on Y&R!

I don't watch Days, is that supposed to be a father and son? 😅

I was also surprised because I was assuming this was something that happened when he was much younger and they successfully hid it when he ran for office. But today they made it clear he was already in Congress. If that had already been established I missed it. I'm not sure on the timeline because to me he looks so young that he should only be in his first or second term but they have him running for president which makes him a decade older. Still I feel like him already being a Congressman when this thing happened is a big deal because it means he wasn't some naive young person.

The best was when Anita made all the men at Bill's wedding sit down with one look.

Making her the mother of teenagers when she looked like one herself was the worst SORAS of all time. As for Cane... what everyone else said.

Today was really strong, especially for an episode without my favorites (Silk Press, Eva, and Nicole). My heart broke for Bill at the end. He really thought she was reacting to his text, and she played that beat well. I'm glad they have kept him grey and given him humanity because it would have been so easy to turn him into a cartoon. There's a lot to mine because she obviously was inspired by him to go into her career, yet now Bill mentioned to Tomas that their falling out was BEFORE Hailey... I'm intrigued! I noticed Naomi told her clients she would name Bill "co-plaintiff." She obviously meant defendant. This is like when they said Martin was Senator Richardson, not Congressman. If you're going to set the show in DC and do these ripped from the headline stories, you can't make very basic mistakes like that. Can't believe no one caught it. I was glad to see in the last couple of episodes that Anita is longing for more because Vernon and Anita are starting to give Nikki and Victor, just holding court at the club or the living room all the time, never doing anything. Anita needs to be involved in some action. That said, those icy stares they gave Martin were fierce and Martin's acting has improved tremendously. I also liked that simplicity of the scene at the end where she said that went well and they sipped their coffee in unison. You can feel that they've been married for decades.

It's just completely infuriating to hear Steffy lecturing someone about morals and ethics (or Taylor lecturing about not killing people!) and no one can say anything, not even Hope's own mother or boyfriend. There was even a moment the other day where it *almost* looked like Hope was going to defend herself, but no. And how is Steffy going to sit there and say she can't rep Hope for the Future because it's about values, isn't she the one who made the sign say HO for the future at the very first show (And I think Hope was a virgin then?)? What really sucks is just... you know Hope won't be allowed to do anything. There is no Spectra anymore. She's not going to restart her line somewhere else. They're not making a new set. They make it seem like she's at her lowest and will turn the tables, but she won't. She'll cry and beg to get back at FC, they will let her in and Steffy will just start being abusive to her and accusing her of something at every turn... what fun is that to watch???

Ok, I'll check in next week. BTW, two separate posters have uploaded a low quality version (taped off the TV) of the Christmas 1985 rebroadcast. I replaced it with a HQ version and deleted those. I also deleted a couple of other Y&R videos that are elsewhere in the Vault already: 9/9/86 episode called Ashley in Paris which is in the German episode folder and 1/18/85 which is already in the clips section. I think this is actually not a full episode, but clips someone had pasted together, possibly from different days. I don't know if the uploaders post here or will see this message, I hope they know we're very appreciative and value what they've shared, so feel free to pass that along if anyone knows them. ❤️

Also, I've finished cleaning up and deleting the known duplicate folders in the Y&R and B&B Vault. I didn't see any in the GL Vault. If anyone knows of things that need to be deleted or moved, please post. I know there were some areas in the B&B Vault that need to be looked at but a specific list would be helpful.

Thank you @Alan appreciate it!

@ChickenNuggetz92 What are your thoughts on what should be done with newly uploaded material? Do you want me to start moving it into the correct folders, or wait for some period of time (a week, a month?) to put things away so people have a chance to see what's new?

I haven't been a fan, but she's grown on me to the point I think I would have found her fine if she hadn't had big shoes to fill. She does have some memorable moments: Everything with Billy Miller. JT abuse storyline. Her reaction to learning Clair/Eve was alive was great.

Wow, that's awesome! Do you by chance also have a copy of the clip 1996-08-19 Olivia is reunited with little Nate at last! That one also doesn't play til the end. It's from the same YouTube channel. I have been hoping to replace these clips for years and years. 😅

Sadly it's no worse than the actual show, maybe even a bit better.

I don't think the clip can be fixed, it seems to be corrupted. It looks like it originally comes from the YouTube channel YRFanatic, so someone who had successfully downloaded the clip from there would have to reupload it.

Right now, I am working on deleting duplicate folders to make space and maybe some light organizing.

Get it Luna!!! I hope Bill was texting the governor as Taylor and Steffy were ranting that Luna KILLED people, because people who KILL should be in jail, and plenty of people have hard childhoods without KILLING anyone! Also, nice gourmet hot dog, Baker!

You saved me the effort of typing it!

I'm not familiar with his work, so as a Y&R fan, the idea of any new character just seems boring.

Yes.

Somebody needs to edit one of these for 2025. BTG has lots of dramatic moments that would work for this.

Thanks again @janea4old I saw some misinformation elsewhere that CBS shows were preempted this week which sounded wrong. Bummer about the 20th and 21st though! All of the new BTG fans will have to suffer like we have been for years.
