Andrea Evans’ Tribute Channel posted these rare and awesome scenes from an October 1983 episode. We already have the first half, but we haven’t seen the last half of these scenes! We get to see Patti’s real pain in these last scenes.

I feel the same as you, @YRFAN90!! I would literally binge-watch the entire first decade LOL. 1978-1980 and 1983 would be first on my list, though, to watch as complete years. Sadly, though, @lucaslesann23 is right. Sony sucks and will most likely hang on to the complete archive for dear life until the end of time, unless by some miracle they and CBS/Paramount strike a deal for digital redistribution...I still haven't given up hope, though. In the meantime, I still try to search for classic episodes of the series from the 70's and early 80's (to no avail LOL). It's such a shame that compared to other soaps, there's barely anything available in anyone's collections of episodes from the first decade. It's especially scarce in the 1977-1981 era. I think someone on here once referred to those years as the "lost" era. I sure hope more pop up from the first decade in the coming years.🫰Maybe there's some angel with a huge Y&R collection that just doesn't have them digitized yet...who knows haha.

Hi all!! So does anyone by chance know if we’re any closer to the entire series becoming available for streaming? Has anyone heard anything? It’s such a shame we can’t watch the full series currently, especially since we know for SURE every single episode has been saved from day one until now. I really only watch the first 11 years of the show where and when I can. I’m so hoping one day we can get the full series on a streaming platform or even on their official YouTube channel like B&B has been doing for a while now. That first decade was GOLD from what I’ve read and seen. ✨🙌🏾

I literally can't think of ANY good reason why they won't release the full series for streaming like B&B is doing, except for the simple fact that SONY SUCKS lol🤣🙄

What do you mean?

https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/young-restless-tv-production-tape-1953128413 I soooo wish we could find out who purchased this 1977 episode on a U-matic tape and beg them to share it haha😆

Oh me too!! 😍😍

OMG OMG OMG!!! 😍😍😍🔥🙌🏾thank you sooo much for finding this and posting it!! Imagine, we’re less than 10 episodes away from Lauren’s 1st appearance!!

Oh how I soooo wish we could find this full encounter with these two!! I'd kill to see the lead up to Nikki going hysterical in Eve's face and Eve slapping her silly!! The chemistry between them is amazing! If only the taper of those Vault edits from 1982-1988 had included this scene! I'm hoping beyond hope one day the full scene will pop up, along with other full episodes from 1983. 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥 Download this while you can, it's amazing HD quality!!😍😍

Yes they have commercials. The episode labeled 6/19 is incomplete. I don’t know if those episodes will be on archive or not. I didn’t realize Pannoni doesn’t always have the right airdates. That would explain a lot. You guys will have to take a look at them when I upload them and see for yourselves. I’m totally lost on what dates they could be. They’re definitely not the right ones according to your info.

So this is weird…I just got the ‘87 episodes and for 6/19, it’s a completely different episode than the one that’s in German in the vault. Jess Walton isn’t in it at all. It’s an episode where BD is in the role and she’s in a red dress talking to David Kimble in her office about getting Phillip III out of Kay’s clutches. And the sources that say Jess debuted on 6/22 are also wrong because in 6/22, BD is also in that episode talking to Kay and Phillip III at the mausoleum. And 6/24 isn’t BD’s last appearance because she isn’t in even in the episode at all. Does anyone have any info on Jess Walton’s actual debut date as Jill in the temporary role and then her next appearance when she officially takes over as Jill when she’s in the white suit talking to David Kimble in Jill’s office at Jabot?

I didn’t even realize he was still uploading episodes of stuff until I happened to think of his other username on Archive.org and thankfully he still is!! Let’s hope he does!! 🤩🤩 I already emailed him about the possible trade, so I hope that doesn’t keep him from uploading them. Like I said, his site mentioned his trade status is currently closed, so it’ll probably be a little bit of a wait before he responds haha. Keep an eye out for them in the meantime! Isn’t 6/22 BD’s last day as Jill? EDIT: Okay so scratch that, BD’s last episode is 6/24, and Jess Walton officially took over the role on 6/25 (sadddd). But Jess is in 6/19, so that’s good! I so want more Jess from her early days in ‘87!!

Pannoni just put up the following Y&R episodes on his trading site that he’s received: -3/30/87 -6/19/87 -6/22/87 -6/24/87 As we know, Jess Walton’s temp debut was 6/19 and official debut was 6/24 (right? LOL), so I’m gonna try to get a trade going to get my hands on them so I can upload them to the vault . His trade status is closed right now, so as soon as he’s up for trading I’m gonna go for it!

Just PM’d you.

Still looking for these! I’m mainly looking for episodes from 1979-80 and 1983. I already have the following episodes from those years: -April 14, 1980 -June 16, 1980 -June 24, 1983 (this one isn’t very good quality, if someone has it in better quality, then I’m definitely open to it) I really hope someone can help me out. Again, if you’d like to contact me privately and don’t want the public knowing what you have, feel free to do so. Also, if they’re still on VHS, Beta, U-matic, or any other physical video format, I’m willing to have them transferred and pay for it. I’m also open to edits of those 3 years surrounding or featuring these characters: -Kay -Jill -Nikki -Lauren

Does anyone know what episode # or date that Grant tells Brooke that Rick, not Ridge, was the one who shot him??? Also, does Stephanie ever find out the truth during that time about the shooting?? If so, when does she find out (episode # or date)???

It’s almost time!! 🤩🤩

How close do you all think we classic Y&R fans are, if at all, to the entire series being streamed on some online platform?? Do you all think it could happen this year for the 50th anniversary or in the coming years?? Will it ever happen??

I’d literally pass out🤣🤣🤣 Let’s hope so!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤞🏾 I hope they’re not just being nice either LOL. Maybe we all just need to flood SONY’s archive email address with questions and/or requests surrounding streaming the entire series. If enough of us do it, they’d have to give more consideration than they have been and see there’s really a market for it!

So somebody that’s in a classic Y&R group that I’m in posted a couple days ago that they emailed the SONY archives and asked if the entire Y&R series exists in their archive and if they ever plan on streaming the show. He got a reply from them stating yes, the entire series is in their archive and they also are considering streaming the entire series. That’s definitely a step in the right direction because before this, I thought they’d had no plans to stream it whatsoever! 😁😁 Do you guys think they’d really do it??

This is true. JLB and VM definitely went over the top in those scenes. The best part is when Lucas comes in and Lorie is just flailing about and he shakes the crap out of her LOL. JLB’s tone in her voice could sometimes be piercing when she really is going off the deep end. Cringeworthy lol.

1979, 1980, and 1983 are my top 3 favorite years of the show (in no specific order). From reading the weekly synopses and the SOD recaps, those are the 3 best years of the show. 1979 and 1983 are my top two, though. Couldn’t choose between the two because both years in my opinion had the best writing, actors, and characters. For 1979, the Kay/Jill/Suzanne/Derek/Stuart/Liz storyline is hands down the strongest one of that year. Lorie finding out that Leslie’s baby is Lance’s and the aftermath of that are also some strong scenes. Nikki also had some very strong stories that year. For 1983, there were various strong storylines, even though it’s known as a transition year. Victor’s poisoning and faked death/resurrection, Patty shooting Jack, Dina’s identity found out and the aftermath of that, Jill and Jack in the snowstorm, Jill’s pregnancy lie turned truth, and the Traci/Lauren bullying are the strongest points of the year (I’m partial to Lauren’s first year on the show). I so hope more shows up from those years in video form. It’s my biggest wish.

Thank you so much!! You’re an angel!

If one of you guys happen to get today’s episode uploaded to the vault (hopefully in HD), please let me know!

Hopefully they’ll do what they did with Beth Maitland last year and upload a 2-3 minute flashback-packed tribute to Tracey on YouTube and Facebook on the official Y&R pages. If that doesn’t include her first appearance, I’m suing LOL.
