I desperately want to see your superior version of 2023 YR

Ha!! Good one! Josh Griffith will probably steal your idea now.

Watching the Dec ’90 Danny and Cricket clips… I’ll always wonder what happened to Chase as played by Stephen Gregory…? During this timeframe, he is fully involved in the David Kimball plot… realizing that the woman he had dated, Cathy, was actually named Vivian… and had died in a freak accident. He also was being targeted for information by Diane. By early Feb ’91, he disappears (assumedly without a farewell scene) just as the David plot approaches the climax with Nina shooting him. Did something happen behind-the-scenes to hasten Chase’s exit? It would have made much more sense and heightened the dramatic tension even more, if David somehow murdered Chase just as Chase had discovered evidence to nail David. Also - it’s sad and ironic when Cricket fills in Danny about Scott and Lauren breaking up over “another woman”… and Danny vowing the same thing will never happen to them… and LITERALLY the same thing happens, as both Sheila and Phyllis drugged and raped their respective targets Scott and Danny.

Hi @bgrape, thank you so much for uploading these clips! I’ve made it through most of the ’90 Danny and Cricket scenes. I really enjoyed seeing everything starting in June, when they moved in together as “roommates”. I appreciated seeing the maturation towards marriage for the first time. I also didn’t realize that Cricket had an entire rehearsal period before her 8/15/90 dance performance, so it was fun to see that Most of all, I enjoyed the Nov post-wedding scenes in the “after wedding three” file. Most of these scenes have not been previously available, except for the helicopter ride. I didn’t realize they had so many memorable honeymoon outings, filmed on location! I did have to laugh at how often the camera focused on the “Hyatt Regency” logo I’m sure the Hyatt gave them free hotel rooms in exchange for being featured on the show. But wow, filming on location elevates the production value immensely… even just the scenes in bed in their room… the natural Hawaiian light on D&C’s faces was just exquisite. After the helicopter dropped them off after their ride, the entire segment with them at the beach was a blast. It was set to the song “Call it love” by Poco which was a big hit at the time but I hadn’t heard in a long time. I never thought I would have seen Michael Damian in a grey leopard-print speedo! I also really appreciated seeing the developments in the David story. I was always confused how D&C went from trusting David to suspecting him. I’m still a little confused, as I don’t understand how they ever started to trust him. In fact, in the post-wedding scenes, Cricket gives him a kiss on the cheek after he arranges for their ride on a private yacht! But then at the end of the “after wedding three” file, D&C have a conversation when they reasonably try to puzzle out who could have framed Danny for the cocaine and circled back to David. I can’t wait to move on to the Jan ’91 scenes… there has literally been zero content ever available for Jan ’91 so this is incredibly special. Thanks again

Do we know if Miss Lauralee has a fabulous estate as well?

Cool, thanks for the tip! Any ATWT experts know - who was head writer in fall 79? Was this a good period for the show?

You will not be disappointed by the '92 Summer of Sheila! She is perfectly woven into the fabric of the show.

Ep 14: Ana-Alicia is the shot in the arm this show desperately needed! I now see that this show had zero sex appeal. She is sex on a stick.

I always cringe thinking back to the press "Knots Landing's first african-american family!" like it was something to celebrate vs something to be ashamed of, that it took until season 9

Knots sadly seemed especially averse to welcoming back beloved former cast members. They brought back Claudia L and of course Donna M in the last season but I'm struggling to think of anyone else.

Works for me. Are you accessing it through the twitter page, that's what I do https://twitter.com/yrvault

Thanks! Fun to see WGE relaxed and enjoying himself. I always wondered if he was similar to his stern cranky character Snapper.

Woo back Pamela Sue Martin to lead the spinoff! ( no offense to Emma Samms but it wasn’t the same)

Wow, you're weren't kidding... ep 12 changed the game! Night and day. The ep had a much-needed narrative propulsion, and an umbrella story to bring all the characters together in a compelling way. Lana Turner floated down to Tuscany like an angel from heaven. Her performance is glossy in that classic manner - she is acting on an entirely different show than all of the other characters. But it didn't matter - Jacqueline vs Angela in the cemetery was a clash of the titans. And Lana did have palpable maternal chemistry with Robert Foxworth. Even Vickie wasn't as annoying as usual. I'm glad I stuck it out in watching all the previous eps. I needed to see ep 9 "Dark Journeys" to understand how Vickie is flailing in her life and would grasp her grandmother and life in France like a life-preserver. Emma continues to be the MVP scene-stealer. I also enjoyed Julia's enjoyment at Angela's discomfort. Can't wait for Lana's return! PS - how sad that Dolores Cantu's entire stint in ep 11 as Melissa Agretti consisted of a scene with one line "Oh, that would be wonderful!" They could have just cut her scene entirely. Bring on Ana-Alicia!

Shannon Tweed said as much in an ‘86 SOD interview, when she was on Days, and reminiscing on her time on FC. She was grateful for FC showing her the ropes of television acting, such as which camera to face when. But she criticized the lack of glamour on FC… she wondered why the show didn’t go “all the way”, like Dynasty did.

Great find, thanks!! And a Sheila ep, no less. Wow, that is a significant new detail that Sheila was going to follow Scott to Boston! If only Scott hadn’t gotten her job back, he could have saved himself years of drama. Incredible Nathan and Dru scenes. Always love the Circle of Fear “horn of death”, haha Fun to see David laying on the charm with Nina. How I THRILL to see new sets like that park! We are so starved in 2023 for any sets that require a budget. Ugh, hate seeing Peter B’s Jack making inroads with Nikki. Nikki and Victor are always the WORST in hospital settings, haha. Nikki is always overly emotional to the point of hysteria, and Victor is always over-demanding and not respectful of a doctor’s experience. My biggest wish for future June ‘90 eps that hopefully surface someday, is the follow-up to Gina’s suicide attempt. Patty Weaver just did an interview where she talked about Gina going crazy when visiting Clint in jail, and jumping over the partition separating them! Sounds amazing

Thank you 🙏 I can do it! 😀

Ep 9 “Dark Journey” was the worst yet! Vickie runs away from home and into the clutches of a pornographer. God help me get through these “self-contained episodes”. I was thrilled when Michael Zaslow made his appearance as the villain - he saved the ep.

And Eric was rushed to the hospital after swimming in a contaminated pond.

https://twitter.com/yrvault Also I think when Lynn Topping was pregnant in ‘80 - Chris Brooks gave birth to baby Jennifer

I didn't realize that - so sweet! So the big outstanding question is (and Lauren even notes this to Paul and Lynn) - what made Sheila snap and kidnap Lauren...? Because Lauren had zero clue what the truth was until Sheila spelled it out for her at the farmhouse. The only thing I can think of is - Sheila thought it was inevitable that Lauren would learn about the birthmark removal and put two and two together. We'll only know for sure if the eps leading up to May 4 ever appear 🙏

There was definitely some strange things with the tone of these follow-up scenes after Sheila's "death". Scott was whitewashing their history but I guess you could argue it was the shock of it all. Still, I'm surprised that Scott didn't have more of a sense of relief. For the 6 months prior, Sheila was the sword hanging over Scott's head. I guess with Ruth, since she's such a disposable character, the writers felt like it wasn't necessary to recap to her what happened once again, after Lauren has already recapped it to Paul and Lynn, and then to Scott. (I loved the flashbacks were incorporated into Lauren's memories) What was super-weird was how the priest recapped everything during the memorial?? Based on everything Scott had told him? It didn't feel necessary for the priest to get so specific, lol... and not appropriate for a memorial.

Ah, that makes sense... pretty much every ep so far ends with a return to the status quo, and the Giobertis still strangely friendly with Angela and crew, despite some nasty event having occurred.

Found it, thanks! Took some digging I thought it was under clips instead of full episodes. Thank you anonymous angel!! I never hoped to see these May '92 scenes, and they did not disappoint. It felt like a dream to watch them. So precious. And even Sheila's memorial! What a treat to see a final appearance of the beloved Naomi and Doris (Doris, who thinks Lauren is afflicted by the devil 🤣❤️) Inconceivable that Scott did not have Cricket and Danny attend the memorial. Wow wow wow, so much goodness! Danny's June '88 "Concert for the Homeless"!! Always wanted to see it but never thought I would! (Looks like Nikki did not wind up attending even though she did the PR for the concert) plus scenes from Jessica's first bout with AIDS - so rare and special. Thanks for the tip BoldRestless and Thank You Anonymous Angel!!

Why am I not seeing those? I'm looking under Clips > 1992 > and the file names jump from 5/04 to 5/28
