I’m not the one who posted that Kevin Bacon was let out of his contract to film Animal House. lol I just pointed out that Animal House was released years before. Oops!

Locher sure is desperate for clicks onto his youtube channel. Nellie Branco must be jealous that he didn’t think of the idea.

Put out to pasture? lol I picture Jill spending her days counting her Emmys (11 of them) - no other EP has 11 emmys, counting her money, and being glad that she isn’t in the crapfest known as daytime. I’m certain that she doesn’t feel like she was put out to pasture. She sold her home a couple years ago for something like $2.4 million so she’s not hurting for money. She probably lives in an even bigger home now. I’m sure that JFP is just fine and sends her love. How could Kevin be let out of his contract in 1981 to do Animal House when Animal House was released in 1978?

I never missed Maureen. She really WAS boring, thus the focus group that lead to her killing.

killing boring Maureen Bauer (and she WAS boring) is controversial. She was killed because of a focus group who thought she was boring and JFP agreed.

You’re right - you control your keyboard. Glad you’re not letting anyone control it for you even though some will try. My records show Millette Alexander’s last episode as 12/24/82 and Geraldine Court’s last episode as 2/4/83. Mike Bauer was in the opening you referenced above. He didn’t leave until 1984.

That one always tries to bully people, Kimmy. He’s been trying to control the board for years. SMH.

I met Ehlers in person back in her early days of soap stardom. She was nice. But then something happened with her ego when she got Emmy nominations and never won. Her comments about a War Veteran who acted opposite her on AMC turned me off to her for good. Until she apologizes for those comments, I’m glad that I make more than her. 👏

None of JFP’s successors were any better. Very true. Laibson and Brent/Marion; Rauch and Clone Reva; Conboy and Maryanne Carruthers; Wheeler and Peapack. I’d take JFP anyday. So she killed Maureen. Maureen was a boring character and that decision was based on a focus group who said the same thing. The viewers thought Maureen was a bore. I know that I did.

You can still make great money writing soaps. The minimum you can make is determined by the WGA union contracts. They haven’t lowered their minimum rates. Writing a soap is very lucrative.

Ehlers is making 80 thousand a year now. How the mighty have fallen.

It’ll be great to see the classic episodes of Y&R. Won’t miss the current crap, which is so inferior to the classic stuff we are about to see. Goodbye and good riddance #Skyle (worst pairing ever!) Adam being a killer, Abby, etc etc etc.

Lauren-Marie Taylor is lovely. Great to see her again.

Regarding the ratings: anyone who uses household ratings is WAY behind the times. Household ratings mean nothing and they haven’t meant anything for years!!! Get with it, folks. This is 2020. Household ratings went out back in the 80’s. That said, kudos to CBS for showing classic Y&R. They are not afraid to show how much better the show was back in the 90’s and even the 80’s. Thanks CBS.

Thanks. Sorry for the repeat. It’s brought up discussion though. I think SFT was doing great in the ratings at this time. Liza & Travis were ‘it’ and they were capitalizing on Rod Arrants having the Luke Spencer hair. lol

Oh lawd. 👎

Ah, maybe. Or maybe they were just desperate for a job. Any job. It’s not like any of them are setting the acting world on fire.

Who didn’t Chappel have problems with? rme

Can’t remember if this has been discussed on here before but if you go to anitakeal.com there is about an hour of SFT clips from 1980 featuring Anita Keal. She played Mignon, Travis Sentell’s mother. On her page, there is a link that says Search For Tomorrow. What a wierd storyline with Tante Helene.

Met Mary a few times. Whoever said above that maybe she was not liked because no one really said anything about her is correct. The less said, the better.

Larry Gates and Bill Roerick. They kind of said it all yesterday. They were VERY different. Bill Roerick was a sweetheart. Larry, not so much. lol Larry was a crotchety old thing.

Chandler isn’t gay! Too wierd.

Maeve is just lovely. Met her a few times. Always kind. Larry Gates and Bill Roerick. They kind of said it all. They were VERY different. Bill Roerick was a sweetheart. Larry, not so much.

Smirky. Ick.

This is not right. I have notified the appropriate authorities. Mr. Gonz**** is on notice.
