I'm super late to the party but I just found out about Bandstandmike's YouTube takedown!  I had half a mind to archive them but I never got around to it. I'm so sad.

I haven't really followed GL but it was a goldmine of Cynthia Watros as Annie and the Maureen Bauer death story.

Now I'm contemplating opening up a vault for GL episodes, like I have with Y&R + B&B. Hopefully between all of us we can recover much of that collection and perhaps get Mike motivated again to upload there instead.

I totally get the telenovela concept, but even telenovelas have evolved. There are more empowered and powerful female characters in untraditional or non-sterotypical ways.

Gahh I wish I could say the same for the Filipino teleserye. 

So... Back when I was in Grade 12, one of my ComTech classes required us to create a video of some sorts. So I decided to go overkill and try my hand a producing a 3-episode soap opera. It was called "Retribution" and it was a continuation of a Trailer Project that I had done for a previous class in Grade 11 in Drama/Soap Opera Form. It was a lot of work and quite frankly, I just ripped off the 2001 Tricia Dennison Story from the Young and the Restless lmao. But at the crux of it, I really wanted to recreate some of the beats, the camera movements, and the music direction that Y&R was known for back in the day.

(Here's the only one I feel worth taking a peek at. Please be gentle with the acting, wewere not professionals haha.)

Then back in third year University, I wanted to revive the project as a continuation of the storyline 6 years later - but as young adults it was very had to coordinate and schedule everything, so the project never got finished. Below is one of the scenes that I've managed to tape and edit haha.

Fast forward to today, at the beginning of the year I've been taking acting classes and a handful of us got pretty close during COVID since we've been having weekly Zoom parties. We've been itching to have some kind of acting-related project done, so last week was "Pitch Week". Everyone pitched an idea, but as usual, I went overkill and had a PowerPoint done. In essence, I wanted to create a web series chronicling the lives and drama of Millennials living in a trendy urban neighbourhood (keep it simple and not too complicated as that would be an increase in time and money LOL). I came up with the characters, the "A" story, the "B" story, and the "C" story, the general outline of the Pilot, where we would be able to tape, and what I wanted the show to look and sound like (which of course is 1999-2001 era Y&R). I called it "CityPlace: The Web Series" after a modern neighbourhood in downtown Toronto and I drew inspiration mainly from Season 1 Melrose Place since the premise is very similar. Unfortunately they decided it woudn't be fair to the others to cast a vote then and there since I've pretty much skewed the playing field LOL so this week they're going to develop their pitches even further.

TL;DR, yes I've dabbled a little in soap/drama writing.

Yes, I was just going to make the same comment. The US is definitely less progressive than most of Western, Central and Northern Europe. It also doesn't help that US soaps are less progressive than the majority of primetime, cable and streaming offerings from the US. These poor soaps must seem so bland and generic to most international viewers as they do to most American viewers.  

Ahh, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers haha. But I guess my thoughts come from mainly personal anecdotes rather than factual evidence as someone from a third-world country background where we have soaps that are very similar akin to telenovelas where the most popular and successful ones have writing that is generally formulaic and misogynistic (i.e. the good girl vs the bad girl and they're fighting over a man). I hope that makes sense? Haha

Hi, any chance you will upload more episodes/clips of 1994-1995-1996?

Don't have many episodes myself - you'll just have to wait for the others in the community to upload to the vault.

If Brad Bell wants to drum up some publicity and do a half way decent story that's progressive and L.A., why not make Fine bi and make a Steffy/Fin/Thomas triangle happen. I'd actually enjoy that story most for the Steffy/Thomas rivalry part of it. And the scandal.

Just a thought, but I've always coughed up Brad Bell's lack of progressive creativity and misogynistic writing due to the fact he's also writing for international audiences in countries unfortunately aren't nearly as progressive as North America and he doesn't want to do anything to alienate that audience because face it, without them, B&B wouldn't really have any legs to stand on.

And dont even get me started on cutting out completely on kissing/love making scenes for stupid social distancing. THIS IS A SOAP!!!!! The soap I write is a million times better than this garbage

Yes, let's put all the actors at risk in the middle of a pandemic in a country that has done very little to get a grip on it for the sake of your own entertainment.

I really don't miss the stiff camera work and subpar soundtrack of modern Y&R.

Here's May 31, 2002 on YouTube

 

Awesome!!! 

They did some creative music editing in today's classic. I normally don't mind them but this is one instance I wish they didn't switch it out for an inferior cue (I always thought the one used in 2020 was too schmaltzy haha).

Damn, Entura took this down after 2 hours!  argh! I skimmed through it earlier and it had a cute clip of Jill trying to convince Penn Badgley's Phillip IV to spend time with her and Billy.

I have it downloaded! Will add it to the vault in a bit.

Yes, another episode from my favourite era! Sidebar: I'm glad that they appreciate the classic episodes but this Antonio guy needs to chill with the comments lol. It's borderline spam on the classic Y&R clips on YouTube haha.

Michael Fairman did an interview re: Cassie's Death. Here's Josh Morrow trolling Camryn Grimes and Sharon Case about the Nick and Mariah pairing.

The "R" channel that was deleted was uploading stuff from 2004. I grabbed a lot of it, but the videos were named by titles, not dates, so it will take some time to sort through and rename the files. Is there any date in particular you're looking for? 

Mainly 2004-04-02 (classic airing today) and 2004-04-05! No big deal if you can't find it - it's bound to show up again.
 

Also added 2002-02-20 and 2002-02-21 to the vault!

I'm trying to find the episodes surrounding Abby telling Victor he's her father. I remember them being on the internet not too long ago but I'm having trouble remembering where it was uploaded or who uploaded it.

Did Heather Tom have a Star Trek audition the same day she taped today's classic? 

I've added the following episodes to 2002!

2002-06-17 - (Bridget finds out Deacon is the father or Brooke's child)

2002-06-18 - (Bridget runs out of the house)

2002-06-19 - (Bridget confronts Stephanie)

2002-06-20 - (Stephanie tells Bridget she will be her mother)

2002-06-21 - (Brooke looks for Bridget; Stephanie chokes Brooke)

I got an inquiry from a quite lurker here that Episode 689 (1989) is missing in the vault - has it been recorded, just not uploaded?

MS is Phyllis, granted, but Phyllis was more interesting played by an actress who acts with her costars rather than at them.

Perfect example of her acting at her co-stars LOL.
