Cool, thanks for the tip... even with the German dub, Brett Porter seems like a better Jack Abbott recast than Peter Bergman 🤣🤣🤣

Todd Curtis became available in March when Capitol was canceled and I guess YR snapped him right up!

Wow @BoldRestless ! You are truly doing the Lord's work!! Thank you so much

Nov ‘86 sounds correct bc per synopses at that time, there’s lots of activity with Jill at Jabot with the Men’s Line, so I definitely see a need for David to be present as a sounding board for Jill. But that article contradicts that theory... hmmm

Ah, I thought I had seen references to Corbett starting in late ‘86... maybe in Corbett’s first appearance in the German ‘87 eps, there will be a chyron saying “the role of David Kimball is now being played by Michael Corbett” and that will clarify things

What a great way to kick off the New Year...thanks!!

Ah, I didn't scroll down far enough... thank you

Hi @BoldRestless I'm finally approaching clip 123 in my viewing and I want to cross-reference with the other clips you mentioned in this post from October... you mention your clips from 1/5/87, 1/9/87, and 1/14/87 but I can't find them in the vault... are they available anywhere? Thanks as always!!

Ah, a rare Deborah Adair clip, I’ve always wanted to see that scene. Thanks! In the clips uploaded a few months ago by a YR angel, we saw Jack and Brenda D’s Jill recreating this scene in fall ‘83, but this original scene from June ‘83 wasn’t included.

Yes! The Julia from that clip is a totally different person than the "Power Julia" who returns in 1982. It's so crazy that the Newman ranch-house set from 1980 is basically the same 40 years later (allowing for some shrinkage due to lower budget)

Wow @BoldRestless thank you for all of these amazing early Christmas gifts! Many thanks as well to the anonymous YR angel!

^ Fantastic pics – thank you! Also, thanks to the angel who just uploaded 881-884! Just watched 880 with Jake telling Margo about the abuse… very well-done I really hate that the story finishes with

Thank you @BoldRestless you uploaded the eps with the Rich Little appearances! I have always wanted to see them again after the original airings because I remember how bizarre the scenes were... Rich Little doing impressions of Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, and Richard Nixon while Lisa just stands there stone-cold annoyed... LMAO!

Wow, thank you so much @BoldRestless ! I will save this link and refer back to it. Very helpful as archive.org doesn’t have the best search function. This brings me to a related question for everyone… so I’m kind of obsessed with the year 2000 for YR (Tricia unraveling; Matt Clark; Dru’s return; Phyllis’ return when she was actually not annoying and I really didn’t mind her at all; Penn Badgley as Phillip IV; the last year for both the fabulous Tricia Cast and the fabulous Alex Donnelley) and there sadly is not a ton available online. Here is what I show for 2000 on archive.org (thanks again BoldRestless) and what is in the Vault. Also there’s a Billy/Mac clip channel here with a good amount from 2000. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUIiWuU3PT1ZUznXis5mS2w Am I missing anything?

Can we sing the praises of Todd McKee? First off – the man is smokin’ hot. Second – I am really impressed with how he tackled the tricky story of a man who had been molested by a family member. This was the first time soaps told a story like this and I don’t think it’s been told often since. The role of Jake was a big step up for TM over his previous role of Ted Capwell on Santa Barbara, which was more of a straightforward role. Too bad he didn’t last too long after Jake’s initial story ended. Interesting yet random that Jake randomly pops up on the show over the years as the Forrester accountant.

@ChickenNuggetz92 is a rock star!!

Omg I missed it 😭 did anyone have a chance to grab it for the Vault?

Amen to 100% of that!

What do people think of Tracy Melchior as Kristen? In rewatching 2001, I find her to be an annoyingly bland Disney princess, even though she is in the "social issue" HIV story. I miss the bitchy sass that Teri Ann Linn brought to the role.

I'm same as you - no sound on the mkv files. I'm on a Mac laptop. The webm files have sound.

Yea, 1992 was awesome until May when Sheila left... then it was not that eventful for most of the year, until around October with Olivia's health crisis, and Ryan/Victoria's secret marriage started to become known

I'm curious, for the transition from the Golden to the Silver era in 1994, do you have an specific time within that year in mind? I do - June 1994 - two events happened... perhaps in the same week(?)... that cemented the transition for me. 1) The departure of April and Heather. April's return to me was a classic Bill Bell tale, with high emotional stakes for legacy character Paul. I know April wasn't necessarily a popular character... some people thought she just "cried all the time". Some of her behavior was cringe-worthy... but it was very realistic to the situation of an abused spouse. And I thought Cynthia Eilbacher Jordan did a smashing job. Watching the original airing of April and Heather's exit that came out of nowhere, I was beyond disappointed as I was really looking forward to seeing April's recovery. 2) We lost April and Heather, and in return we got Joshua Morrow's Nick 😕 Not a fan, never been a fan, not impressed with his acting. Overall, the obsession with creating a "super-couple" in Nick and Sharon (after 2 recasts!) moves the show away from the Golden Era. Edit to add: starting around the exact same time, the retcon of Jack Abbott as a Vietnam War veteran (?!?!) also hastened the move away from those golden years...

I almost completely agree with @will81 's assessment... my only edit would be to end the Silver Age in 2001. Once Ryan died and Tricia went away around Thanksgiving '01, IMO the show lost its thrill and "must-watch"-ness.

Very cool, thank you! The primetime special listed as 3/1/98 I think is mislabeled, since VR is still on the show and Nikki hasn't been shot yet - I'm guessing around Oct '97? I can research the exact date on the SOC recaps when I have time
