Fun article from ‘77. Describes YR as a “soap musical” 😂 https://www.nytimes.com/1977/06/26/archives/confessions-of-a-soapopera-addict.html?unlocked_article_code=1.l1A.uzZ5.KtPKHhlfoDZm&smid=url-share Interesting!! Maybe there wasn’t a big teen presence in ‘80 bc they just couldn’t nail the casting….?

Hilarious!!

Scrolling the channel, it is just content from the Vault that we already have.

Thanks... lovely tributes to our beloved Terry

Wow excellent, thanks so much!

Same! My god! My jaw dropped in dismay when they thought that ED was on SB before ever being on YR?? #1) After 23 years on the show, Greg (a former step-Abbott) should know the basic fact that ED was part of the iconic Quad in the 80s #2) The Soapy producers should always give Greg and Rebecca a 1-page fact sheet with foundational details such as that ED got her start in soaps on YR in '82. This was just one example, there's plenty of others. I understand that the Soapy production model is probably to cram a ton of interviews into a short time period. But still... any of us could produce Soapy better. To me, this was worse than a few weeks ago when ED was on Kathy Griffin's youtube show and KG kept asking ED questions but then interrupting the answer. Ok rant over 😃 On the plus side, Eileen Davidson just seems like a fantastic, fun, grounded person that I'd love to have a drink with and dish 🍹

I just rewatched August '93 and Cole is sooooo slimy for secretly dating both a mother and a daughter! Especially when kissing daughter who has not yet turned 18! Both ladies know that Cole is spending time with another woman, and Cole has so many opportunities to say "it's your mom" or "it's Victoria" but instead he just vaguely refers to "someone else" yuck This is definitely a man of low moral character. He gets called out on it later but not nearly enough. He basically gets a hall pass once Victoria poses for the centerfold

I know, I love KG but her interruptions were annoying. She does best when she is just monologuing solo.

@JAS0N47 fyi 34:20 Kathy Griffin talks about her mid-2000s cameo and we see her scene with Austin Peck. Elsewhere in this vid, Eileen Davidson talks about her 5 Days roles

13:50 ED and NLG talk about being on Santa Barbara at the same time during the "weird Pam Long era"

Thanks for confirming… I figured. Dumb MAB

While re-watching Liz’s July-Aug ’93 return. I realized - she never met her great-grandson Phillip IV! :\ What a missed opportunity. I picture Nina would be uncomfortable at first but Liz would win her over with her motherly ways. I can kind of understand why the writers didn’t go there. They’d have to reference that Liz didn’t return for Phillip III’s funeral. And l’il Phillip would have to say something equally cute and awkward like “Does this mean that I have 4 grandmas now??” (Jill, Kay, Flo, Liz) Liz returned for a solid year in ’03-04 but I’m pretty sure Phillip IV was off-screen that entire time. Does anyone recall in 2010, when Liz was stupidly killed off by MAB - was Phillip IV onscreen and did he share a scene with great-grandma Liz?

Does anyone know who Frederick Combs played on YR? “Frederick Combs (October 11, 1935 – September 19, 1992) was an actor, playwright and director. He died in Los Angeles of AIDS at the age of 56. Frederick is best known for his role as Donald in Mart Crowley’s 1968 off Broadway play “The Boys in the Band” and also the 1970 film version directed by William Friedkin. He didn’t hide his gayness and he gave a candid interview to gay In Touch magazine. “Do I regret playing Donald in The Boys in the Band? No. Of course not. Not in and of itself. I regret the aftermath." Born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Frederick, trained at the Barter Theatre, Abingdon. He made his Broadway debut in 1961. He also appeared in several productions of the Public Theater NYC and was a writer in residence at the Edward F. Albee Playwriting Foundation. Frederick did minor roles in made-for-TV movies including a role on the soap opera “The Young and the Restless” but found acting jobs in any medium scare. In the mid-1970s, he moved to Los Angeles where he had his own plays produced including “The Children’s Mass” which some time lover Sal Mineo who helped produce. He also had several of his one-act plays produced. In lieu of acting jobs, Frederick worked as a dialogue coach and acting teacher, and In 1979, he founded the Actor's Lab Los Angeles, where he taught privately and conducted classes.

Some details... the fistfight happened 12/12/91, on the day that the episode aired 1/15/92 was being filmed. In PB's dressing room, PB and EB had to be pried apart by crew members. They each filed separate police reports. SOD reported that auditions were held to replace EB?? It's very hard to imagine that EB would be replaced over PB. After the holiday break, EB and PB both reported for work on 1/6/92. They had "kissed and made up". They had to post-film scenes for many eps that both of them originally missed due to the aftermath of the skirmish.

Thanks! Gotta give points for creativity. 😄 It’s such a tough song to sing… some of these ladies just aren’t able to do it justice. One of my faves is Millicent Martin. Her version is the default in Apple Music
