WOW, thank you!!!! Great quality! I actually just finished watching all the 1989 vids that were uploaded but I will happily go back and watch these! You made my day.

LOL at waiting for Victor to show up and dismantle him. Totally.

I think the problem with the German videos might be that the music and English dialogue were not on separate tracks. In deleting the English to replace it with German, they also had to delete the music, and maybe they didn't have access or care enough about the original music. They probably figured it was a soap so who cares? Little did they know 30 years later we would be talking about it. I know that is an issue with some of the 80s eps of various soaps with pop music playing in the background - you can't just delete the music because then you would lose dialogue.

Interesting. Was that part of the Paul/Cindy storyline from 1983?

Wow, how did you find that video; it's private?! LOL at Nikki.

There used to be a German Y&R website that had a bunch of classic episodes in great quality... you can access it here http://web.archive.org/web/20130622230535/http://schattenderleidenschaft.de/ but all of the links on the youtube page don't work for me and since the videos are private I had no way of accessing them and I had never bothered to download them since they weren't in English. Do you have a list of links to all of the videos? At least now I can potentially contact the uploader since I have his youtube screen name. Hopefully this is the same person that uploaded all of them originally. I am seriously excited because I was so pissed I didn't save them. I actually recently started playing with learning German on the internet just for fun and I was kicking myself because what better way to practice than watching Y&R?

On a totally random note, but one I think you guys will appreciate, I was trying to find those videos again so I found myvideo which is the German youtube I guess (warning: some links might have NSFW stuff in background) and searched for Y&R

http://www.myvideo.de/search?q=young+restless (if that link doesn’t work just go to www.myvideo.de and search for young restless).

I did not find those 80s eps but I was surprised they had some old rare clips on here! In English

http://www.myvideo.de/watch/9557397/The_Young_And_The_Restless-Bell_Cast David Kimball dreaming about killing Christine and Nina… is this from Oct 1991?

http://www.myvideo.de/watch/9560871/The_Young_and_Restless_Eileen_Davidson Really well done (early?) 80s scene with Ashley and some guy, but I have no idea what storyline this is from! I actually couldn't get through the entire scene, it's very disturbing. This was when the show had real tension.

http://www.myvideo.de/watch/9560934/The_Young_And_The_Restless_Kristine_De_Bell A truly rare scene! Doug Davidson with long hair and a beard... late 70s/early 80s. Is this from the cult story? I don’t even know this actress.

BTW, you can use this website to download the clips: http://convert2mp3.net/en/index.php Sometimes even if you can’t watch the video you actually can just enter the link and download it anyway. I think you have to allow cookies and have javascript enabled to watch on the site but you can download them regardless which is what I do.

So here’s the weird thing. I clicked on the user’s page to see if he had more Y&R videos … I saw he had some GH, it looked promising… and then I realized his page is all about girls being tied up! LOL!!! And some of those videos look like they might be pretty sexual. And then I realized ALL of his Y&R clips involve women being held hostage (no wonder he has so much GH, that’s all they ever do on that show!). Isn’t that crazy!?? He’s probably not even a Y&R fan! He lists it by the actress name. So he’s just some guy with a fetish. Then HOW does he have all those rare clips?! Are these rare episodes floating around fetish sites, but we regular fans don’t have them? I mean, what the hell, it's the weirdest thing... maybe they were on youtube before and he cut out those parts? He also has some more common stuff like Lauren being tied up by Sheila and Katherine being tied up by Clint.

I want to know where he gets his Y&R but I really would not feel comfortable sending him a message… ? Hahaha. Especially since I'm female, although it's not like he would know that.

Anyway, very curious if anyone can identify those clips.

Thanks YRFan23!

Chris B, I would love to see more from the 70s!

If you need help with uploading, PM me.

In a perfect Bell world both Kevin and Adam should have gotten the Michael Baldwin treatment but unfortunately they did not. Even for Michael it took at least seven to eight years before his credibility was finally established, the utterly ridiculous engagement to Christine aside.

Yeah, I really like GR and the Kevin character as originally written was compelling, but his redemption was handled badly. The scenes of him getting beat up in jail were some of the most beautiful directing that Y&R has ever done, but that should have been just the start. A bunch of scenes of people saying they feel sorry for Kevin, and Kevin whining about how he does not want to be in a jail cell (but yet continually committing major and minor crimes) didn't get the job done. I still think they should make him evil again.

As far Adam, I wouldn't even know where to begin. They should have never written all of that garbage to begin with. The original storyline of CE's Adam trying to find his place in the company was great.

Yeah the Christine getting engaged to Michael was one of those things I thought Y&R would never do. I never thought Christine would end up engaged to her rapist (well, near rapist)... but then they had Paul rape her also and then them getting married... really ridiculous. Especially now that I've just watched some of the 80s episodes that YRfan23 uploaded and saw what Christine had to deal with from Derek.

It may not have been shown onscreen but IMO there's nothing ambiguous about Michael murdering Rebecca. I think it was better that way, because it was super violent and didn't need to be shown. It also made for a big shock when a body was found by two random characters walking in the park, but they confirmed it was Michael right away instead of making it a "mystery." (Y&R's murder mysteries were never that great, even Bill Bell's IMO). I watched it with my mom as a kid and remember both of us being so shocked. And then Michael's phone call to the hospital shows what a sociopath he is, that he could feign empathy like that while being giddy inside. Such great acting from CLB. If he had been a "name" actor/character by then he wou;d've had his first Emmy.

It's kind of funny that Scott is going on about what kind of psycho would do that, and to think today that psycho is married to Scott's then-wife!

To Y&R's credit I do appreciate the fact that they actually sent him to jail offscreen and had him rebuild his life. He never was punished for Rebecca's death but that's realistic, a lot of crimes go unsolved, and if he had been found he would've probably gotten life and could never have returned to the show.

Feb 15, 1993 (first couple of minutes interrupted by special report)

Are they still online somewhere? Do you have a link?

Here is February 12, 1993. CLB at 38:18 is the true Michael Baldwin for me, sick mofo.

Not that I know of. Are those minisodes still available? I know they had Victoria and Cole stuff on there too.

Here is where YRFan23 left off... Chris B I think you'll like these scenes with Neil & Dru's from Feb 11!

Feb 9, 1993

Feb 11, 1993

Thanks for the date. So you mean the clips titled "Olivia in the hospital" are not all from the same episode? I thought they were creating episode titles like you and SOS do. From comments I had three different dates which I thought were three different episodes from 1992. That is such a bummer about your computer! Can you anything at all? What if you copied an entire folder on a flash drive and then browsed it on another computer?

Anyone know the airdate of this clip? YRfan23 commented with airdates on this persons other video, but some parts of this were deleted so I can't find it.

Yes, except Veronica's wig ruins everything!

Nikki gets shot on 3/20/98... I don't think it's ever been on yt in full (to my knowledge). The one I mentioned from the SOS channel is a dream of Veronica holding a gun to Nikki.

I'm trying to sort out everything I've downloaded into some kind of order, so maybe I'll come across more.

Here's a clip of the shooting (in French):

Did anyone happen to save these (or any) episodes from SoapOperaSpectacular's channel?

12/19/90 (episode title was "Scott is upset with Sheila"), 1/3/92, 6/19/98, and 1998 ("Veronika wants to kill Nikki") and 1990 ("Sheila and Scott, Jill and Katherine"). I'm not sure if those last two were supposed to be just clips or if they are parts of a whole episode. Luckilly YRfan has already uploaded many of the other ones from that channel.

Thanks, all.

Yeah I meant 12/28/92... how weird that something from 1992 would get flagged for copyright, and I also am surprised that dailymotion is that strict. Maybe it was for music? On youtube they tell you the specific part of the video that got it flagged. You might want to contact frostedwake on dailymotion (formerly kayden on youtube) because they upload a lot of long videos.

I'll keep an eye out for your uploads because I have 2/9/93 so I'll post it so that people can watch in order.

Thanks!!! Did dailymotion reject it due to copyright or technical reasons?

Oops, I was trying to time my uploads in sync with YRfan23, but I wasn't keeping up with this board so I'm a little behind. Here's July 8, 1992.

I made a new youtube account. I'm keeping all videos private now so that should take away any concern of getting deleted. Maybe I'll switch over to dailymotion too... what do people prefer?

Funny how a bunch of us all posted to warn her about Y&R getting deleted! YRfan23, I'm surprised you haven't posted the exact airdate yet! You're slipping... j/k Thanks for posting.

Ugh, so today my 2nd account, Restless Bold, was terminated. There were like two episodes on there that were public and they got them. I'll make another one soon. If any of my videos upthread no longer work and you didn't save them, let me know so I can upload them again later. What a pain.

Thanks!!!

Thanks sooo much YRfan23!

I can't open that link.

There was a complete 1975 episode of Y&R at one time about Bill Foster retruning home terminally ill/Phillip asks Kay for the divorce/Leslie finds out Laurie is writing a book about her mental breakdown. It was deleted. It then was uploaded by another poster then was deleted yet again.

...

Speaking of uploading, what program do you use to burn the episodes from DVD to your computer ?

I saved that old ep. I will try to get it up. I have it labelled as 2/24/74 but not sure if correct. I also have the pilot from last time someone uploaded it.

I use All Free DVD Ripper or VOB2MPG. Both are free. I only use free programs. Tip: Whenever there is an option to "de-interlace" click it, because it will make the video less fuzzy (since most of these episodes are originally from VHS tapes).

I don't mean to sound stupid, but what is the best site to download youtube videos???

I use a program called FreeMake Video Downloader. It includes a button that allows me to download entire playlists or channels at once. If you prefer not to download a program, just paste the URL into this website: http://www.youtubeinmp4.com/

......I still have some of SoapOperaSpectacular's stuff on my OLD computer however it's hard to watch those clips cause that computer has a messed up screen.....

Ohh, you must share if possible! Does the old computer have a USB port? You can just put the clips on a flash drive and transfer them to the current one.

So you found SOS, great job! Hopefully he could upload some stuff on private. You know what would be good would be to have a twitter account that links to all the private videos, gets them out there... but then I suppose CBS would find it *sigh*

Well guys, I was kind of trying to wait until YRfan23 posted some 1991 stuff to share these, so we could go more or less in order, but I noticed the outcome of David Kimball was posted recently, so I might as well share the Masquerade Ball videos... my favorites eps EVER

(I'm going to split this up because it seems like it's only embedding 5 files per post)

ETA: Oh, it doesn't let me, it keeps adding to the prior post.

Hi guys... I haven't really been around either (YRfan23, I owe you an email), but I wanted to share something I found yesterday... grab it before it's deleted forever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0JkaBaZnMs

YRfan23, you are doing great!

o/t but is anyone else having a problem with youtube subscriptions? I used to be able to scroll through everything that was uploaded since by last login by clicking more until I got to videos I have already seen. Now it only shows me the newest 30 videos and there's no button for more. It sucks, because one or two prolific uploaders will take up the 30 slots easily and then I could miss some videos.
