She was when it came to getting what she wanted from a man.

oh i didn’t know it was under construction. well that’s good to know that i’m not the only one experiencing problems with downloading. it’s quite frustrating.

Thank you for posting this!!! i’d love to see the full scene between Lauren and Jack at the end of this video. Quite ironic to see Lauren as a blackmailer when not even a decade later, she’d be blackmailed herself by Sheila.

Is anybody else currently having trouble downloading videos from the Vault to their computers or is it just me?

This is very true, I never considered that.

I myself always loved 1983 (what I’ve seen and read of it) because of the storylines and characters that were featured. It’s one of my two favorite years of the show. I so wish we could find more full episodes of it. I’m sure someone out there must have them. What do you think classifies it as a transition year? The intermingling of certain characters??

Ughhh, this makes me soooo want more episodes from the 1983-84 era😭😭😭😭. Whoever’s reading this that has them, there are people participating in this thread who will gladly help you get them uploaded or even transferred if they’re still on tape!! It’s not even a want anymore, it’s a neeed LOL. Even an ordinary episode like this keeps us glued to the screen we’re watching it from!

Anybody know which episode this clip is from?? Is it from a rebroadcast episode that aired 2 years ago during the shutdown?? I don’t remember seeing this scene.

I absolutely LOVE this idea!!! 😍😍😍 Sign me up!! From what I understand, each and every episode of the show has been digitized and is in some form of an archive.

Both of those ideas are great ideas. I’d just hope that CBS/SONY would include ALL good episodes or scenes surrounding the particular storyline or set of characters that they are dealing with. For example, Kay and Jill. If they’re going to set up their feud for us with select scenes or episodes from 73-82, they need to include all the good and important scenes not only for the Jill/Kay/Phillip storyline (including the aftermath where Kay takes Jill to court and then the gaslighting of Kay by Jill), but also things like the scenes or the full episode from October 27, 1976 when Kay makes Jill sign the affidavit that Phillip never fathered Jill’s baby. That’s important stuff. They also need to include every good scene from the Jill/Kay/Derek/Stuart/Liz/Suzanne saga as well from 1978-80. That definitely shaped the feud as well. The final things they’d need to include are the scenes of Kay intimidating Jill when she wants to marry John, Kay sending John the transcripts of the court proceedings, Kay reading the transcripts and then breaking down (in the blue dress where the scene ends and she says “Ohhh she’s got to pay…” and she clutches the paper to her chest), and then from December 1982 where Kay has the dinner party and tries to humiliate Jill and John comes to Jill’s defense, and then the scenes between Jill and Kay where Jill taunts Kay in the one scene we’ve seen before where Jill goes, “You see, I’m not afraid of you anymore Kay. I am just as rich as you are….and I have the man that I love. Nothing can hurt me now.” THEN, start with full episodes of the series from 1983 on. THAT would be the way to go about it. Don’t be stingy on scenes. If you’re gonna do it, go big or go home.

I’m soooo hoping Y&R will follow suit!! Could you imagine being able to stream the ENTIRE series along with current stuff!?!? (I only care about 1973-84 tbh LOL). I’d like to know what you all think of this decision and if you think there’s possibility of Y&R following their lead in the near future. Mind you, their contract is up next year.

https://archive.org/details/young-the-restless-general-hospital-partial-gtv-9-29-02-88 Here's another Australian episode from late March 1985 featuring a scene between Dina, Ashley, and Victor that is in the vault clips! There's also a beautiful performance of Kenny Rogers' "Crazy" by Patty Weaver at the 18:48 mark directed to Neil Fenmore who is in the audience.

Does anybody have an HD quality version of Friday’s (6/17) tribute episode they could upload into the vault??

So do you guys think any episodes from 1978-1980 and 1983-early 1984 will ever show up besides the very few we’ve already seen? Do you think people taped it then and kept them? I think we’d have a better chance with stuff from 1983-84, but I’m just wondering what you all think.

Good Lord!!!!! I think on behalf of all of us, if this goes well, I can say one word to collectively sum this up…”JACKPOT”!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 If there’s even ONE tape from 1983 or 1984, I’m gonna faint!!!!

See for the longest time, I never knew Lauren started out as Traci’s friend. I just thought she was always the spoiled bitch from day 1. I’m very interested in seeing the scene that features “the look” Bill Bell saw TEB give at the end of a scene with Beth Maitland that made Bell turn her into the bitch of the show. That “look” made history in Bell’s eyes! I truly think TEB was perfectly cast for the role of Lauren. I remember reading that she had originally auditioned for the role of Patty Williams and I honestly don’t know how that would’ve played out. I do believe she was much better as Lauren and can’t quite be sure she would’ve played the “woman scorned” role very well. That being said, she did play the kind of innocent character that Patty was during her days on DOOL as Donna Craig. So it’s possible she could’ve played the role of Patty well. As for longevity on the show, clearly the choice to play Lauren got her the longer tenure and the notoriety that I’m not sure playing Patty would’ve given her. I, too, hope they do something for TEB’s 40th anniversary and do what they did with Kate Linder, MTS, and others and show her first scenes as one of the memory lane scenes @YRfan23. Honestly, I believe she deserves her own tribute episode just like MTS got that shows her very first scenes and journey from then until present day. In her first 10 years on the show, she went through a hell of a lot as Lauren from being the spoiled bitch to being buried alive and then to having her baby switched and almost being killed in a fire whilst finding out the truth. And let’s not forget how many men there were for her in that first decade as well: Danny, Paul, Shawn, Scott, and Brad! They could make a really great one for her. CBS/Sony if you’re listening, do this for us fans!! And OMG if her first episode ever surfaced, I do believe I’d scream and then FAINT🤣🤣. It’s definitely one of my holy grail episodes of the show that I want the most! We need more stuff from 1983 as a whole, but that episode would be AMAZING!

https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/news/621002/young-restless-tracey-bregman-lauren-debut-love-paul-michael-anniversary-tribute/ Interesting read about Tracey Bregman’s time on the show as Lauren, including her describing her first scene and moment where during a taping Bill Bell saw her as the “bitch” on there, both of which I was particularly interested in. Does anyone remember watching her first scene as Lauren? I unfortunately wasn’t born yet so to this day I’ve never seen it. I so hope someday the full scene or episode pops up!

I’m looking for anyone that has episodes or edits of Y&R that aren’t already in circulation from January 1976-September 1981, January 1983-March 1984, and from May 26-June 5, 1989. They could be in any video format (VHS, DVD, Beta, etc.). I’m mainly looking for episodes and edits featuring the following characters: January 1976-September 1981 -Kay, Jill, Liz, Suzanne, Nikki, Eve, Julia, Victor, Derek, John January 1983-March 1984 -Kay, Jill, Nikki, Lauren, Eve, Julia, Patty, Jack, Victor, John, Traci I’m looking for the full episodes of May 26-June 5, 1989. If you’d feel more comfortable messaging me privately, feel free to do so.

I’m hoping that myself. I’m also hoping we get something good next January for Tracey Bregman’s 40th anniversary on the show. I’d love to see the first scenes for all three.

Thank you all for your insights as far as the potential Jill/Nikki friendship goes. You're all right about both Nikki and Jill not benefiting in being a friendship with one another. I am kinda shocked, like some of you were, that Nikki and Jill never had dialogue together while Nikki was with Greg. In the June 16, 1980 episode we've all seen, we see Jill (played by Bond at the time) talking to Liz a bit about how hard it's been for Greg having to go through all the mess happening with Nikki. Other than that, I don't recall Nikki and Jill ever speaking about one another. I could see it being more probable as far as Jill mentioning Nikki (other than what I just wrote) more than Nikki mentioning Jill during Greg and Nikki's relationship. Someday I hope we can come upon more stuff from the '79-'80 era so we can put all these puzzle pieces together LOL.

Jumping into the conversation of Nikki and Jill, do you all think there ever could’ve been a way of writing the show back during MTS’s first year that Nikki and Jill could’ve become chums?? I know you all said they’re both way different, but I’ve always wondered what it would’ve been like if they were both at the Allegro one night, Jill down about her marriage to Stu and not knowing where she stands with Derek, and Nikki down about killing her father or they could’ve written something else she was bummed about, and then they bring the two together through some dialogue to form some kind of bond and they maybe have a short-lived friendship? I wonder how Brenda and Melody’s chemistry would’ve been and how the characters would’ve played it out with each other, especially during 1979. Maybe Bill Bell could’ve written that Jill helps Nikki where Greg is concerned and Jill coaches Nikki on how to win him over and get in his good graces. Then, to repay Jill, Nikki coaches Jill on how to win Derek over in more of a slutty, seductive way that Jill hasn’t considered yet and to try and beat Suzanne at her own game. Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just wondered about it haha.

Oh wow, thank you for mentioning that! I never knew that was how it all played out as far as what aired when. Also, it’s interesting how it was known as a C-level storyline. So for 1979, who would’ve been the A and B-level storylines while this was all going on? I myself have never been interested in the Brooks or Prentiss families during any time they were on the show. They just didn’t have the excitement for me nearly as much as the Foster and Chancellor families. If I think of memorable scenes or storylines, I never think of the Brooks or Prentiss families. Ever. LOL.

Thank you both for your compliments! I’m really hoping to narrow stuff down and to get us the episodes we’ve always wanted to see, as it’s the best alternative to audio or video! Being able to put the correct airfares with the right episodes would be amazing!

Thank you, and I bet you're right!! I'm only getting the first page of each script so then when I go to ask for more I'll have specific dates. That would be a great era, too! From the descriptions I've read, it's some good stuff!
