Digest spoke with Y&R stars who worked with the actor back in the day: Jerry Douglas (John) actually auditioned with Lester when he joined the cast in 1982. “He was incredibly popular in the ’80s,” recalls Douglas. “Terry had an edge, where he could play Jack as a heavy and get away with it. You just loved to hate him. He had the best role on the show. [Lester’s replacement] Peter[Bergman] has done a phenomenal job with the role, but his Jack is a different Jack. His Jack has a lot more heart. But that is Peter’s nature. Peter is a lovely, giving human being, and a lot of that came through in his Jack. He really transformed that character.”Douglas continues, “One of my favorite scenes was when John brought Jack into the boardroom after John discovered Jack had an affair with Jill [in 1986] and John said to him, ‘You’re out of the family! I don’t want to ever see you again!’ I was an emotional wreck as the character doing that scene, because Jerry Douglas could never do that. But it worked.” Notes Jess Walton (Jill), who played Jack’s stepmother and former lover: “Even though we didn’t stay close after he left the show, I’ll never forget when I first got Jill [in 1987], I said to him, ‘I can’t grasp the essence of her.’ I had a million people telling me things and I had seen Brenda‘s [Dickson, ex-Jill] tapes, but I just couldn’t get the hook of who this character was. And Terry said to me, ‘You have to love being bad. You have to enjoy being bad.’ That was his Jack, and that was so helpful.” Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) remembers: “I had become such good friends with Terry while he was on the show, and I spoke with his sister after I heard the news. He was a very talented actor, but his true genius was in music. He played wonderful piano and he sang. I think that was what he always wanted to do.”

Taylor’s funeral was truly heartbreaking such a beautiful and emotional goodbye for an iconic character 🥀 Honestly they should’ve never brought her back again they should’ve let Taylor rest in peace and stay in the afterlife ☁️😇

so fun hearing sarah mention all my children and Susan Lucci and skip the beef just classy nostalgic vibes video starts when she talks about all my children

Which soap feuds were actually real and which ones were just fan rumors Susan Lucci vs Sarah Michelle Gellar Deidre Hall vs Crystal Chappell / Suzanne Rogers / Kristian Alfonso Robert Kelker Kelly vs Lisa Rinna Eric Braeden vs Peter Bergman honestly it makes sense that not everyone gets along at work especially on shows that run for years who else would you add

what were they thinking in the writers room killing off chase maggie and melissa did they just decide to burn falcon crest to the ground or what

Lexie had a beautiful ending in 2012 bringing her back now just feels like lazy writing and another tired Days gimmick

It’s always cool seeing former headwriters and cast members together like this it really reminds you how layered the history of Days is Susan Seaforth Hayes really does feel like the heart of the show connecting so many different eras and people And Liz Chandler was such a strong memorable character I honestly think it was a missed opportunity not bringing her back sooner for visits in the 90s and even in the years after there was so much story still there

Lisa Rinna says in her new book that her former Days of Our Lives co star made her life miserable on set and describes him as manipulative and verbally abusive He has not responded yet I actually thought he was great as Bo Brady and had amazing chemistry with the cast which just shows the gap between what we see on screen or on social media and what might really be happening behind the scenes Is this brave honesty about a toxic work environment or another headline grabbing moment to stir controversy Mail OnlineLisa Rinna names and shames the 'biggest bully in Hollywood'Lisa Rinna has accused one of her former co-stars of being Hollywood's 'biggest bully' in her new book, You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It.

why are sony and cbs sitting on all these gems from 1973 they need to release the full series for us to binge why are sony and cbs sitting on all these gems from 1973 they need to release the full series for us to binge

did brenda dickson actually spend her entire career playing just that one character jill abbott and did she really never return to acting again after she left the young and the restless back in the eighties or am i missing some other roles she did later on

Well it’s progress kudos 👏

Hopefully someday we’ll finally get to see Victor’s earliest episodes in Genoa City surface for fans to experience where it all began

Why didn’t we see more flashbacks in the Friday episode to the decades of terror Stefano DiMera inflicted on Salem starting from his earliest appearances in 1982 And I’m glad Marlena finally got some closure

Honestly at this point I almost wish they’d just pull the plug on all four legacy soaps and air classic episodes from every decade Sometimes the old stuff is just way better than what we’re getting now 😅
