Eric Braeden is on YouTube now: Victor has a message for the world: Incest! We've had this date planned all along...

I'm counting totally new characters - twins and doppelgangers tend to run in the same circles and often morph into the same character as the original. Quinn Redeker on Y&R was the best... from abusive Nick Reed to lovable rascal Rex Sterling. Completely different chacter. As much as I hate her origin story, Hayley Erin is doing a much better job as Claire than she did as Abby (or as she did on GH). I enjoyed Sarah Joy Brown and Tamara Braun as Claudia Zacchara and Kim Nero on GH. Would have rather seen them as Carly, but that wasn't going to happen. Dark Shadows did this all the time. Mostly the actors played the characters similarly, but one standout was Joel Crothers transitioning from heroic Joe Haskell to scoundrel Nathan Forbes. Marie Wallace also showed great variety as Eve, Jenny, and Megan, and I enjoyed all of Nancy Barrett's roles too.

That's a good point, compared to ahem, others. A friend who speaks English as a second language told me she has trouble understanding Eric Braeden sometimes. I explained that most of us native English speakers have the same problem. I don't know how he quite manages to do that thing where he's mumbling all the words together and trailing off and then suddenly puts emphasis on the last word (as in when he said "whogivesadamnaboutthatBITCH" about Aunt Jordan 😅). I have no hearing problems but I need to rewind and listen with captions to him a lot. Mealor does preppy well. He's more like David Tom's Billy than the Billy Miller/Terry Lester archetype, which is a little more playful than Bergman but not especially so.

I can't believe EB didn't get nominated or win for the reunion with his mother and his orphanage backstory and Jeanne didn't get nominated or win for the facelift story, among many others.

LOL perfect description of PB @Broderick I noticed he was just as affected when speaking as himself on the Y&R 50th anniversary special (where he obnoxiously noted that he'd won an Emmy whereas Lester never had - in my view, that was due to his ABC friends as Y&R's actors did not get much Emmy love during the 80s). Sometimes I crack up when Bergman is the one doing the "brought to you by Palmolive" line after the commercial break, as if he's reading Shakespeare.

Hasn't happened to me recently, but it does happen sometimes. I just restart the download manually in my browser.

Sharon and Nick bought Crimson Lights because it's where they fell in love. They hung out there and were crowned kind and queen of the college luau. This was before they found Cassie. I think he proposed there (he proposed multiple times so I'm not entirely sure). They did eventually put a memorial for Cassie on the back patio area and they had Jewel perform with the proceeds going to Cassie's Challenge (a program promoting awareness about underage drinking - I did not remember this until I found the video). This must be what you were thinking of.

The Newman name would have more cache in business so it makes sense to me that Sharon would use that name. I always thought it was funny, anyway, how the women would always keep the most recent husband's name (Mrs. Chancellor then Mrs. Sterling) (Mrs. Newman then Mrs. Abbot then Mrs. Landers etc) even after divorce or death until they married someone new. Poor Esther and Miguel with all the changes. I prefer when they use their maiden name or their longest running relationship (Chancellor for Kay, Newman for Nikki, Abbott for Jill). Those are the names we knew them by the longest. Ray is pretty much a footnote at this point.

I'm not familiar at all but my problem is most of these things are events, not "reveals."

I had no idea!

RIP and all my love to Susan.

Maya being transgender needs to be on that list.

On this show, not paying taxes on some shoe sales merits banishment forever and Sally is tarnished as the town troublemaker because she... got Summer a really great job offer in Italy that she accepted. OTOH pedophiles and murderers walk free and no one cares (unless it's Adam). Reminds me of those "Sony Minisodes" they did some years back except those were fairly classic scenes. I had a thorough look at the Y&R ones and they're all more recent (2010s at least) except for a couple of clips from the first episode from 1973. Days seems to have some vintage 90s clips based on thumbnails, and some not-HD clips of their first episode in color (which was cool, cause I think I've seen it online before only in black and white). The Liquid Soap idea is fine, but is anyone dying to see clips such as Jason Thompson's Billy talking about sex ed with Reed?

Her shop was called something like "Roses Antiques and Pretty Things" - a double entendre for teen prostitutes she kept in the back.

Interesting that this is the only show with no women in the top 5 for the year. Thank you to everyone who contributes to these lists and Happy New Year!

An episode from March 1980 and the uploader says more to come!

I think it's fine that Eric and Ridge consider each other father and son and don't mention his parentage, but it makes me roll my eyes when they make comments like "it's all in the genes" about RJ's drawings and the Marone branch hypocritically claiming Hope is not Douglas' "real mother" and that they are the "real Forresters."

Uggggggggggggggh.

Wow, knowing the story of Angie and Jesse, I can't believe he would do that... but I do recall the obsession with baby switching for a while, particularly with ABC soaps.

What on earth? What even was the context there?

Wow! I'm a completist so this makes me very happy. Amazing work.

I couldn't believe it when she said in the judges' chambers. "I've never gotten a free pass for anything!" She's gotten a free pass for multiple murders or attempted murders.

Clarence's video was a lot better than the ones Leanna did.

LOL, very diplomatic. It's always the "lull" with this show. I can't see how Danny could even look at Phyllis, if he truly loved Christine. She tore their lives apart for nothing, and tried to murder her, and laughs about it. Though it is keeping in his character to be too nice.

Katherine Chancellor especially if you include her lovers. Gary Reynolds Phillip Chancellor Cash Cashman Brent Davis Rex Sterling
