🤣 wait, I'm out of the loop, what's the tea here with Shemar...?

Wow… post April/Heather departure and pre JoshuaM debut…good find!

Most of ‘96 wasn’t bad. It went downhill Nov and Dec 96, worsening into the first half of ‘97 Thanks! I knew both their hairdos didn’t look like ‘89 hairdos 😂

I'm pretty sure there's some new stuff. I've definitely never seen Lauren’s sly move of putting on the ski mask... felt like something that would happen on Scooby-Doo 🤣 This was a good ep. Even though I already know how the Lisa/Brad story resolves, it still felt quite tense. The Nikki/Victor/Leanna scenes were spiky and fun! Nikki knows she’s carrying the cards and is enjoying torturing Leanna. I didn’t realize that Victor and Leanna already knew that the marriage was invalid. So I guess they decided to stay together and wait until the 6-month divorce waiting period is over. Ugh Nikki used my least favorite term ever “Heir Apparent”🙄 Doesn’t she know that only Jack can ever be the heir apparent? Bill Bell really loved to bust that phrase out at any opportunity. Cassandra seems more of a straightforward tragic heroine here. I think the writers had no idea who George’s killer would be, and hadn’t even invented the character of Adrian yet. Hmmm the Jill/Nina scene at the end… is that from the same ep? I’m almost wondering if it’s from 1987? That’s the only time I can remember them being in cahoots like that… and it’s implied that Nina is still working at Jabot…?

Eternally grateful to ChickenNuggetz!!

Thanks for posting - I enjoyed it! It helped that there was no Shick 😂 This was a transitional time where there was still some interesting plot movement. In another month or so, everything grinds to a halt. I’d say Kurt saving Ashley from the attackers around Thanksgiving is the beginning of the boring era.

That worked! Thank you so much

Oh thank you! The link doesn’t seem to work

Ah ok thanks, but not the Days Peacock channel on YouTube. (I don’t have Peacock)

Is there a Doug stalker story playlist available for viewing? I’ve never seen it and would love to.

Have all “12 Days of Christmas” vids popped up anywhere? In the “4th Day of Christmas” vid, during Deidre’s introduction, she says they would all be posted on Christmas Day.

Finally had time to watch this. It's really impressive that, during the middle of the writer's strike, the show had 4 different promising stories starting to heat up… ex-wife Lisa clearly not well in the head; George Rawlins’ mysterious problem that he needs Paul to investigate; Leanna pumping vulnerable Nikki for dirt; and Jessica’s health failing. The only dud scene, similar to the recent July ’84 ep we saw, is Danny’s blonde love interest gazing adoringly on while he sings. Though I’m very curious to see the “Homeless Concert” someday, and whether Nikki took Danny up on his invite to attend, or if the writers had moved on from that plot. One thing confused me – it appeared that Leanna and Jack were about to have sex. But I thought she was a “man-hater” who only thawed for Victor Newman due to his TGVN virility. Maybe Leanna and Jack apparently hooking up was a “writer’s strike” mistake?

I think there were some one-off scenes in the late 80s with Rex or Phillip III at their Chancellor office desk, but that was just a “limbo set”

Wow, with temp Jack replacement!

Great find, thanks! Plus bonus Deborah Adair at the beginning 😀

I'm still back in summer '93... haven’t had time to watch much, but just finished 1615. What a perfect episode! Two major plots are at a critical juncture. I appreciate this all the more, reading the comments that the quality of the stories starts to decline not too long from now. The tension is just exquisite at the hospital, with everyone singing Macy’s praises, while the viewer is just waiting for the news to drop that Macy was driving drunk… The scene of Brooke and Connor informing Sheila that her assignment is to clear out Stephanie’s room made me LOL. They turned Sheila’s smile upside-down real quick. Loved Sheila’s red power suit. This is a world away from Sheila’s cheap wardrobe on YR – back when she could care less about money and was solely focused on Dr. Scott Grainger.

Finally had a chance to watch - TEB's stiff wig really caught my notice! Not the most flattering... I feel like it aged her. Lauren and Brad flirting feels pretty stale at this point. The most intriguing scene is definitely Mari Jo scheming to make inroads with a skeptical Keemo. Now that's a story I'd like to see. (though DianaB is STILL pronouncing Jabot wrong, lol!) Do you know why Victor and Hope's marriage is strained? Seems like they just got past the previous conflict of Victor Jr possibly inheriting Hope's blindness... Vicki and Cole... Nina and Ryan... zzzzzzz

so crazy to think that Lauren is still on YR at this point, and meanwhile on BnB Sheila is gearing up for her big finale of the suicide attempt on the Forrester steps.

Just seeing this - thanks! Have you watched yet? How is it?

Thanks to the angel and also to you! Your work is so valuable and appreciated.

Oh my gosh, I finally made it to 1612, and I was filled with dread the entire episode, as Macy and Kevin drove down the road in the fog… waiting for the car accident… it’s all very well done (blood dripping from Kevin’s forehead, gasp!) Macy’s behavior here is reprehensible and inexcusable. She had indeed hit rock bottom and I am here for her entire journey to true sobriety. I also really appreciated seeing Sheila and Eric’s romantic evening in 1612… I needed to see their romantic marital connection re-established, knowing that within 2 months, things are so strained btw this couple that Sheila will feel compelled to return to Genoa City/Young and the Restless to check on Scott Grainger!

I imagine you haven't seen the '93 "reunion special" that aired right before the series finale. In the special, JVA gets teary recalling filming the mirror scene, giving credit to the entire production team for collaborating to film that scene in one take (as JVA didn't think she had it in her for a second take)

I was not expecting the end…amazing! 😂

1608 - Sheila at the Bikini bar?? What is happening?? How did the chocolate get into the peanut butter?? 🤣 Her appearance at Bikini was clearly plot-maneuvered... it's a stretch that she would go to a beach bar by herself to get a glass of champagne to celebrate her new job. But anyway, it puts her in Karen's orbit... I was a little surprised how blunt Karen was in her assessment of Sheila... clearly she is unaware of Sheila's history at the farmhouse! 1609 - a rare sweet moment btw Stephanie and Thorne... the scene was poignant with an exhausted Stephanie slumped on the Forrester home staircase. Ridge went to read Sheila the riot act. But in the end, she completely turned the tables on him... love it! Brooke and Connor making love in the limo was fun... but clearly, he is just a "space filler" until the eventual Bridge reunion.

Happy to report that with the new vault, I can download and view eps on my iPad with no problem. Hopefully everyone else is all set too.
