WHAT?????  

Yes lol, Really far back, I have no idea what happened that year, I thought thats the year Niktor met but i was told that was in 82.

May 4th US YR is airing episode 2194 october 1981 

MCE did one of those "Wraparounds", I'm gonna guess they will show a JH episode.

The final episode in katherines week is may 5th 2009

Jeez...I even predicted they'd show that one...

I have a bad feeling Friday's show will be Katherine's last episode   

Probably, Than that cheap JFP memorial.

This is the cake fight from Chloe's wedding in 2009. Not an era I would revisit but not an awful choice for a more recent episode. Recap sounds like it's entertaining.

I'm surprised they are showing a Billy Miller centered Episode lol.

Thursday US YR will air #9116, The Cake fight at billy and Chloes wedding.

They were a fabulous set of episodes. I think the biggest downfall was the flimsy buildup to it though. Jill bought /rearranged some furniture which was the trigger point for Katherine. It was a pretty weak excuse, and later got even less than exuberant with the mess involving Arthur, his stepson, and then Michael Nouri’s character that I can’t even think of his name lol.

I am shocked that Katherine/Jill Mother Daughter storyline happened in 03, I always assumed it was a MAB Thing.

While I would have chosen something else other then Katherine's intervention from 2004, It will still be nice to see those episodes...It's crazy that was almost 16 years ago...I almost thought it was only 6 years ago until i remembered it's not 2010 but 2020 now...LOL

IKR, I have never seen these episodes before so i am excited.

I was about to complain cause I could do without seeing stuff from 2004 but its much better than what B&B and GH are doing. 

Frank is just scared to show stuff better than his work, and Bell holds a grudge against Ronn, Susan, and Hunter. Its so dumb

I'm thinking that we'll get a minimum of six weeks of classic episodes considering the time it will take to get the episodes shot, edited, and aired... It could be much longer.  I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it takes more than 6 weeks for them to even start shooting. Or more.

 

I hope the ratings stay high because this is the best chance we'll have to show there's a market for this. I'm probably going to rewatch all the episodes on CBS.com too to show support.

 

What do you think will be the other theme weeks? What might we see?

 

Week 1: Katherine the Great

 

Week 2: Victor and Nikki - or ideally, one separate week for each one, so we can get episodes that don't involve them as a couple. 

Episodes I'd like to see: Victor holding Michael in the dungeon, Victor getting harpooned, Nikki as a stripper, Nikki killing her father, Victor pretending to be a servant when Nikki first visits the ranch, Victor taking Jabot from the Abbots for the first time

Episodes we're likely to see: Nikki & Victor's wedding after she's shot by Veronica, Victor getting carjacked and meeting Hope/Victor returning from the dead, Adam being born or Adam as a child

 

Week 3: The Abbotts

Episodes I'd like to see: Ashley's abortion confrontation with Victor, Traci and Lauren fueding, anything with Terry Lester (I know, it won't happen), Jack holding the baby who got his baby's heart, Dina's first interactions with her children in Genoa City

Episodes we're likely to see: John's death, Jack & Phyllis' wedding

 

Week 4: The Younger Newmans

Nick and his lovers will probably be heavily featured. Amelia Heine has been on a long time but I can't think of much I would expect to see that doesn't involve Billy Miller, and they won't do that. The current Adam is too new, otherwise this would be an all Adam week knowing the show.

Episodes I'd like to see: Nick's Crimson Lights fight with Matt Clark, Nick in jail, anything with Heather Tom (it won't happen), Adam and Heather taking over the Ranch while Victor was in Mexico to kill Sabrina's hitman

Episodes we're likely to see: Various episodes of Nick proposing to, making love to, and marrying Sharon and Michelle Stafford's Phyllis...

 

Week 5: The Barber/Winters

I wouldn't have guessed this, but Neil and Drucilla being featured in the second classic episodes give me hope, and Shemar is very popular and might be willing to do commentary

Episodes I'd like to see: Olivia realizing Keesha is Nathan's lover, any Olivia/Keesha or Dru/Keesha confrontation, Neil and Dru meet and go on their first date, Lillie Belle saying she wished Dru was in the hospital almost dying instead of Olivia (I think this was Nate's birth)

Episodes we're likely to see: Neil & Dru's wedding, birth of Lily, one of Malcolm's returns, Devon's adoption, episodes with young Christel Khalil and Daniel on the run.

 

Week 6: The Crazy Baldwin/Fisher men 

Episodes I'd like to see: Michael breaking through Christine's wall (but also some of the episodes showing Michael harassing her), Kevin revealing he is Michael's brother, Kevin getting beat up in jail, Kevin burning down Gina's

Episodes we're likely to see: Michael/Lauren stuff, Kevin/Chloe stuff to balance it out

 

Other possibilities the longer it goes on:

Christine's Trials & Tribulations

Villains (David Kimball, Sheila, etc. Sheila really deserves her own week).

Paul's Heroic Deeds

Lauren Fenmore

Business Plots (doubtful)

Greatest Weddings

Best Location shoots

 

Edit: Re-reading this and being a bit pessimistic when it comes to what I think we'll see (leaning towards more modern stuff and the current cast)... hoping to be proven wrong. So far the choices have been great. I'd never have thought they'd show that March 1993 episode.

 

 

 

 

Speaking of. I wonder when they will go back, how is the situation in california

Said the exact same thing!

Agreed. Y&R probably has the strongest audience in daytime currently. All they need to do is get back basics (on a lesser budget) content wise and they'd be solid for a few more years.

 

It sucks that great soaps are in the past tense. Is there a future for this medium, or is the total end near? They say streaming is the future and I hope so. Streaming platforms seem to not have an aversion to niche audiences versus the mass appeal nature of broadcast so perhaps there is hope. 

Idk for sure, so please correct If i am wrong, But doesn't YR Bold and Days do well on their networks streaming platforms?

Y&R classic episodes and B&B reruns are getting higher numbers than Days. I'd air Y&R classics until regular episodes are available. The classic episodes of Y&R are more entertaining than any new episodes from Y&R, B&B, GH or Days. 

Really? Wow! Thanks im glad the classics are doing well

I agree to an extent, but reruns will keep fans watching. TRUE reruns, classics, like what Y&R is doing. GH and B&B need to realize this. However, I suspect there are numerous reasons they aren't. One being that fans would recognize how far the two shows have fallen. Not that Y&R is any better quality wise, but the classics compliment the current show and have a slew of faces that are still around. Imagine GH airing something from Guza/Phelps years? Lord. B&B could probably do it but they have had so many cast changes.

+1 and people will still be stuck at home. New eps or not. So i think they will watch the classics

I checked global they are airing #5939 for the next classic.

Speaking of business stories....

 

Why would Kyle and Summer need the Jabot boardroom, telling Theo to leave?  Does a 2-person meeting require a boardroom? And why wasn’t Theo in his own office in the first place?

 

No, even though Jabot is a huge firm, Theo ends up at Society, working at a table next to the bar.

 

WTF

Budget

I keep thinking what if this Covid-19 just disappears as fast as it arrived. I still feel precautions are good. Temp checks are good and itll be good they are enforced is someone has a high fever.

 

I remember reading that Jamie Lynn Bauer continued working with a High fever at Days. I think a lot of Actors/Actresses work thru being ill

 

I could see some part pf the crews being smaller but having your own tools. Who is gonna pay for that?

 

Also more closed sets, I could see

Now are these what they WILL DO or suggestions on what THEY SHOULD DO in the Deadline Article?

We probably won't get love scenes and the actors will be standing 6 meters apart in scenes.

Im sure they will resume production

Lets say Los Angeles reopens May 15

They may need a few weeks to disinfect so maybe prod would start up June 1

Hmmm, I think late june/July.

How long was he gone from the show?

As owner of the hotel Phyllis should be living in the pent house suite, not in a dinky little room that isn't even a suite. I did enjoy her throw down with Chelsea at Society in today's episode

He was gone for about 3 years i think after JH.
