Mmmmm.... Latter Days... mmmm 😋

These are amazing. Thanks so much for these. 1988 would have to be one of the best years for Y&R. So much unfolding in just those episodes you posted: Nina giving birth to Phillip’s baby; Cricket being chased by THREE men at once (Phillip, Danny and Scott); Leanna’s Ruthless storyline starting to take shape, and her interactions with Steven, Victor and Jack; The introduction of George Rawlins, with Paul being called upon for his services; Nikki finding out she’s pregnant with Nicholas; Paul digging into Brad’s past (at the request of Jack), and the subsequent reveal of Lisa (who would later kidnap him and lock him in a cage); Jessica Blair’s introduction and courtship with John Abbott. There is a reason why Y&R well and truly claimed the #1 spot that year, and these episodes just demonstrate that. Looking forward to even more stuff from that year.

Been watching some Cass/Frankie and Cass/Lila clips on Youtube, and it reminded me of a question I posed on the old RATSM newsgroup just before the show ended in 1999. I thought it would be a great opportunity to do it again: If Lila, Frankie, *and* Kathleen happened to be in Bay City all at once, and Cass had to choose only one of them, who would he choose and why?

So I’ve been bingeing on any old City episodes that I could get my hands on on YouTube, including the final episode, and I have questions (putting in spoiler tags for people who might not know the storylines)...

God I want to break my screen everytime I see Richard on it. Having watched the first few episode of Tha Cit-eeeeeh, I can understand sorta why he is the way he is, but damn I can only handle him in very minute doses. If you are ever curious, look up some of Corey Page’s work on Heartbreak High (the early 90s Australian drama that he was on before he scored his role on Tha Cit-eeeeeh). He’s actually really good in it.

We’ve been talking about Morgan Fairchild on the Loving/City thread, and this scene of her from SFT was mentioned. There was also a mention of a scene where she apparently crashes through a glass door (?)...

Watching through the first few episodes of The City, never having watched it previously...

Wow she did get around. Thank you @slick jones

I just watched the 1992 episode that was on the Facebook page. It took me a while to recognise the lady playing Bonnie Rescott (Ally’s mother), and then it clicked - she also played Calla Matthews (Lillian’s sister) on Guiding Light in the mid 80s. What other stuff has she done daytime wise?

Thanks for the vid @will81. That was so weird seeing those scenes together. And one thing that surprised me - David Kimble! I didn’t realise Michael Corbett had started that early on Y&R (I thought that was more 1989). What was he doing for the first couple of years before Phillip died and then he swooped in on Nina?

Some more EON episodes have just emerged. No dates, but they appear to be from 1979. Not sure if these have been uploaded previously. I did like that the first one has Margaret Colin (pre-ATWT) and Vasili Bogazianos (pre-AMC).

God damn, Darnell Williams could have a scene with a box of hair and it would still be more captivating than anything we see on daytime TV today!

A whole heap of these clips only recently got uploaded in the last few days. This one contains Jess Walton’s first ever appearance as Jill Abbott (complete with “the role of Jill Abbott is now played by Jess Walton”).

There is a nice little “triangle” slow burning with these three throughout the whole murder mystery that I’m also enjoying to an extent. Incidentally I watched an episode of The City earlier today where Sydney (Morgan Fairchild) had been pushed down a lift shaft. By this point, Alex and Jocelyn looked like they were together, and LLC by this point had quite a *unique* hairstyle which I personally thought didn’t really suit her. But that’s for another time...

Laura Wright hasn’t aged a day in all the roles I’ve seen her (Ally on Loving, Cassie on GL, and Carly on GH). She does has that certain edge about her that just draws you in. And her chemistry with Ted King is off the charts (no wonder they kept him on as Danny). Did their characters on GH ever get together? I agree about Ava as well - I pick up on her being absolutely scared out of her brains, and it is totally believable and well-written. And even now in this storyline the neuroses are still there, if not even more amplified.

So there have been so many more vids uploaded today (part 41 is being uploaded as we speak). This is the kind of binge watching I love. I’m curious myself actually...

I was following Y&R quite heavily at the time, and I must have blanked that particular detail out. God that is insane 😆

Oh wow, I had seen this clip before but it had never clicked that it was him. He looks like he hadn’t aged a bit between 1984 and 1995. Thanks heaps for reminding me of this! 👍 He played Ben Warren? When did this happen?

Woah hang on WHAT?! When did this happen??

Those of you wondering what Lisa Peluso is doing nowadays...
