Thank you so much Bundy1965!

Seems like the show got rid of Colby Chester because they were gearing up for a big summer "quad" with Tim, Traci, Brad and Jill. Tim kisses Traci in April and Jill kisses Brad on June 16, in one of Brenda D's last eps. But by the end of June, Beth M has quit (leading the show, I assume, to let Scott Palmer go) and Brenda Dickson is fired. I'm guessing the writers then had to kill that whole story. I don't remember a romantic story with Jill and Brad once Jess W took over.

Love that the German eps have the music performances in English! 3/27/87 has Danny and Lauren reuniting to sing "Higher Love". Yikes, if Steve Winwood saw this, he must have been grimacing. Somehow not matter how ear-splitting and out-of-harmony these performances are, I still love seeing them out of nostalgia, if nothing else. TEB looks straight-up uncomfortable, and she has said in interviews that singing was never her comfort zone. And poor LLB like always, is relegated to standing offstage, grinning and making googly-eyes.

Thanks as always! Does anyone remember... I think the ep right after this one was on YT a few years back? In this Aug 2 clip, Lindsey references making dinner for Jack. In the ep I saw, Lindsey was cooking filet mignon or something like that, at her apartment, for Jack. There were also scenes with Ashley and Julia... Julia asked for a leave of absence so she could give birth in Paris. Ashley said no because there was too much work for Julia at Jabot Genoa City (Secretly Julia didn't want anyone to find out that Eric was the baby's father) Is this ep floating around anywhere?

Thanks...wow, looks like most of the month of July was pre-empted...? This actually matches up with the SOD recaps, which I was recently reading... the recap in the 8/25/87 issue (recapping late July eps) is repeated in the 9/8/87 recap... I was wondering why, now it makes more sense.

Just watched 1/7/88 and Cricket comments that she spent Christmas with cousin Joe... was that a return John Denos appearance the week of Christmas '87? Or just a throwaway comment... can't tell... Also on 1/7/88, Gina and Danny are in Gina's office, and she calls down to an off-screen "Nick" to ask for a pot of coffee... maybe since she is asking "Nick" for coffee instead of Leo, this implies that Leo is no longer around. That's right! I was a teen in summer '87 and definitely recall the soaps getting interrupted circa July timeframe... (my exact memory is Anne Heche's debut, sipping champagne in a bathtub on Another World, and having to wait awhile for the next ep) I just remembered Jason47's very detailed Days website and thought that would be a good cross-reference for which dates were pre-empted...http://www.jason47.com/days/preemptions.html... but interestingly he doesn't list any Days pre-empted dates in July other than July 3 for Wimbledon. I think in some cities, Days aired later in the day, like 3pm, vs YR which aired around 11 or 12, so maybe Days wasn't pre-empted as it aired after each day's Iran-Contra hearing.

Leo/Peter Parros appears in vault clip 134 at 13:10, serving Douglas a mineral water. This is circa Aug '87... we'll have an exact date when the German eps reach August!

Part of Carol’s magic was CT’s fabulous chemistry with TL’s Jack. Once PB took over, Jack and Carol were as strangers... Nonetheless, CT was a major talent who showed us her acting chops during the Nan story. She was worthy of continuing leading-lady stories and I’m still mad at the show for letting Carol just fade away.

In the July 4 ‘91 ep, Carol joins the Abbott pool party and makes a reference to Skip and Skylar being unable to make it.

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.
