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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

And hasn't delivered a single memorable moment.

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.

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!

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!

Great finds

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.

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.

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.

Amazing work

I read in Bell's biography that the family all lived together in their mansion so I assumed that was the inspiration.
