Thank you @janea4old for finding that...and thank you to the recapper, wherever you are now, for NOT having cutesy, clever nicknames all over your recap, as so many did.
I haven't been following the '90s episodes much as the ones that @YRfan23 shares are enough for me, but as this one is "new" and the needlepointing scene sounds hilarious (it's the type of thing I probably would have laughed at back in the day) and it's a good Dru episode, I may DVR it. It's a shame it has Nina's miscarriage story as that always upset me.
It sounds like this is still when Sharon was a bad girl too. (this wasn't Sharon Case yet then?)
I sure miss Nina and Dru...
Yes Amy needlepointing pillows with Nikki is an interesting contrast to
... Victoria showing her (Victoria's) nude pictures in the magazine centerfold ... to her brother Nick(!) and then commenting well our mom Nikki was a stripper so what's the big deal.But that's the Sept 15, 1994 recap, so I don't know how you would DVR that. (I'd love to see that too)
What's airing next week is Sept 21, 1994, and we have not (yet) found a recap for that.==============
Per the recap, on Sept 15, 1994, Sharon tells Doris that she's having a party at their apartment sometime soon. Amy thanks Sharon for inviting Amy and Nick to the party.
I recently watched the Sept 26, 1994 episode. Sharon and Doris discuss the birthday party, which has already happened. Sharon mentions that party happened at the Newman ranch. Doris asked how it went. Doris wants to know if anybody figured out that it really wasn't Sharon's 18th birthday party, but instead it was actually Sharon's 19th birthday party. Sharon says nobody has figured it out and everyone thinks she just turned 18. The conversation implies there is a missing year that Sharon and Doris are keeping secret -- but it did not hint why in that episode.
(Of course we know now that this was the year of Sharon's pregnancy with Cassie and Mariah).
(There is more in that 9/26/1994 episode but I'll stop there).
My point is that Sharon's birthday party happens after the Thurs Sept 15, 1994 episode, and before the Monday Sept 26, 1994 episode.
From recaps and playlists, we know it doesn't happen Sept 19, 20, or 23.
So that leaves .. . Sharon's birthday happening on Fri Sept 16, Wed Sept 21, or Thurs Sept 22.(I suppose the party could have taken place offscreen but that seems unlikely).
The soapcentral bio for Sharon says her birthday is Sept 17th, which was a Saturday in 1994.

Sept 15, 1994 recap, for more context:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.arts.tv.soaps/3CKoe50wNKE/A7rm3jEhyU4Jrec.arts.tv.soaps
Update 9/15
(posted late on 9/27/94)From the "better late than never" department, here's the Thursday, September 15th update for Y&R.
Dru at the doctor's office
Dru is visiting a (new) doctor, seeking to end her pregnancy. He asks her why she came to see him specifically, and she replies that she wants to see a doctor that she didn't know. [seems that dr-patient confidentiality is a problem in Genoa City -- especially judging by Olivia's conduct as of late]. She is very upset and wants an abortion.Jed's office
Jill and Jed are dancing cheek to cheek to elevator music (how convenient). She says that dancing with Jed reassures her that she is making the right decision (to divorce John). She needs a man who knows how to make a woman feel alive. She thinks they're still married because of Billy. She says it's ironic that when she told John about her pregnancy, John was so upset, and now he is really taken with the baby. She's absolutely determined to divorce John, no matter what.
Coffee House
Matt comes over to see Nick and starts talking about how Victoria is one hot babe. Nick looks puzzled.Nina's place
Nina's on the couch. It's been a few hours since she felt the pains. She tries to reassure herself that nothing's wrong. Phone rings. It's Ryan, who forgot something in Phillip's bedroom (he's away on business). He asks whether she could bring the file to his secretary at his office. She says she will, and doesn't mention the pains.Coffee House
Matt tells Nick about the centerfold -- everyone's talking about it. Nick gets miffed, and threatens Matt. Nick's speechless when Matt produces the magazine. Nick takes off, but not before Matt rubs it in that he and Sharon are a hot item again.Jill & Jed
Jill says she has to be careful, because she hasn't a hope of getting through the divorce unscathed if John finds out about her affair. She hopes she can get John to file for the divorce. Jed thinks this is just wishful thinking.Coffee House
Some guy and Amy talk. Amy just returned from a dental appointment. She runs into Sharon. Amy tells Sharon that she's having the most incredible summer, and that she gets along really well with Nick, and his mother, who couldn't have been nicer to her. She thanks Sharon for inviting Nick and her to Sharon's Birthday Bash, because it'll be their first "together" party. She leaves. Sharon looks pissed off. [comment from recapper: by the way, Sharon has recently had a french manicure -- guess the bills include personal grooming: we have to have our priorities in order, don't we?].Abbott Home
Jill gets home. John greets her, and asks where she was. He was anxious to see her. He offers her a cocktail. She's not in the mood, she says. John offers to help Jill "unwind" but she cuts him off, asking where Billy is. Seems Mamie took him to the park to give them some time together (sweet Mamie!). Jill rejects more advances and is fuming about Mamie taking the baby out when she is expected home. She's saved by Mamie and Billy's return (it started to rain and they had to come home early). Jill berates her. John takes the baby and plays/talks to him. Jill looks like she feels a little guilty for the impending breakup.Olivia's Office
Neil comes over wanting to know what Olivia's not telling him about Dru's condition. When's the fatigue going to end?Dru at Doctor's
The doctor's policy is never to perform an abortion before finding out more about the case. He assumes she's not married. When Dru corrects him, he questions her motivations for not telling her husband. She says that her husband must never know.
Ryan's Office
Nina brings the files to Linda (Ryan's secretary). Nina stays behind to leave a note for Ryan to get when he returns. While she's looking for some paper, she comes across the magazine with Vicky's pictures in his desk. She looks at it.Sharon's Place
"Girl"'s mom rolls out and complains that Sharon didn't put the iron where she could reach it, and she couldn't iron today. Sharon rudely brushes her off, tells her she will do the ironing herself that evening (OK?), and BTW she's having a party at the apartment sometime soon She says this will be a very important party for her.Ranch
Nikki is needlepointing. Doorbell rings (Miguel, I'll get it). It's Amy. It seems Nikki invited her over to help out. Amy brought a pillow that she did. Fancy work.Tacky Room
Victoria is pretending to make iced tea. Luckily Nick drops by. He confronts her about the centerfold. She's pretty down to earth about it. She asks his opinion of the pictures. "Helluva spread, Vic"Olivia's Office
Neil continues to pump Olivia for information.Other doctor's Office
Dru is really confused and upset. She tells the doctor that she's unsure of the baby's paternity, asking whether there's a way to tell the exact moment of conception. The doctor suggests a physical exam.Tacky Room
Nick says Victor must've flipped. She tells Nick about the buy-out of the issue, the acquisition of the company and firing Glenn and Alec. They both agree that this is in keeping with their Dad. Victoria says she can't understand his reaction, since their Mom was a stripper and THAT was ok. Why not this?The Collins'
Mom asks about the party and who's being invited. Sharon tells her that Amy and Nick have been invited. The mother sees through Sharon's plot to get Nick nearer. Sharon denies anything underhanded. Sharon comes across a letter in the mail that her mother is quite anxious she not read. It's from the insurance company.Ranch
Nikki and Amy are needlepointing. Amy tells Nikki that she learned how to do it from her mom, and that she and her mom are very close. Nikki remarks that Amy's lucky to be close to her mother, since not everyone has that sort of relationship. They talk about Nick's return to school. Nikki says that she insisted that he go back. She then pumps Amy about Sharon. The party comes up, and Nikki counsels Amy not to let Nick out of her sight at the party.Tacky Room
Nick says he's more concerned about Cole's reaction to the centerfold. He hopes Vicki and Cole can work this thing through. They talk about Switzerland. Vicki asks about Sharon.Nina's House
She takes a long hard look at the centerfold. "How could Vicky do this?" "Why does Ryan have the magazine?"Olivia's Office
Olivia says Dru's overstressed and tired. She promises Neil she will keep a close eye on her sister. Neil makes her promise to tell him is there's anything he should know.Dru & doctor
The doctor tells Dru her pregnancy's early. He can't confirm the exact date of conception. She wants to abort asap. He says that there's one more thing she should consider before making her final decision. It's a miracle that she's pregnant at all, since she has chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. This will probably be the only child she'll ever have, because there's a lot of scar tissue surrounding her reproductive system, probably due to undiagnosed recurring infection. He urges her to reassess prior to aborting. She asks whether it's some sort of miracle that she even conceived. He says yes. She asks herself whether it's a miracle or a nightmare. She cries beautifully and the scene closes with her teary eyes.The end.

Y&R:Update for Monday, 9/19/94
Posted 9/20/94Jill shocks her new lawyer:
Jill goes to see John Silva and requests that he represent her during her divorce from John Abbott. John is stunned. Jill is adamant nothing can save the marriage. Jill begs John to represent her. Her demands are simple, she knows she'll keep the 20% of Jabot stock (from her first divorce from John), so in addition she wants support for baby Billy and her job at Jabot. John cautions keeping the job might be difficult. John agrees to prepare the preliminary divorce papers.Katherine wants the dirt on Jill:
Katherine stops by to talk to Mamie about Jill's affair with Jed. Mamie admits she thinks Jill has been unfaithful. Katherine warns Mamie they must share information to nail Jill and save John. Katherine says Jill and Jed are definitely in "heat". Katherine suggests they set at trap for Jill, for little Billy's sake. Mamie is reluctant to help and trust Katherine...Keemo blasts Luan's memories:
Luan has fond memories of her "GI". Keemo doesn't share the same feelings about this "user of a man". Keemo rejects his natural father vehemently. Luan leaves in tears and Cricket reads Keemo the riot act for his insensitivity. Cricket tells Keemo he doesn't have the market cornered on pain. Cricket's words get to Keemo and he apologizes for his harshness...Hope and Jack catch up:
Jack shares his engagement with Hope and she shares her pregnancy with him. They are happy for each other.Neil and Nathan wonder what's up with Dru:
Nathan warns Neil that something is going on. They agree to work together to determine what's up. Meanwhile Dru is seeing Olivia demanding Olivia schedule a D&C. Olivia informs Dru she has it scheduled. Nathan stops by Neil's apartment with Little Nate and the men bond about fatherhood. Neil coos to Little Nate that one day he wants a son just like him. Dru watches this tender scene in emotional turmoil...-----------
[The Sept 20th episode continues ... Dru is watching (from the doorway) Neil talking to Little Nate].

Ughhh...horrible list for next week!
(For B&B that is)
The description says for Friday June 26 says:
originally aired January 2, 2018
Liam discovers Steffy slept with his father Bill after he learns she had a paternity test on their baby. An emotionally distraught Steffy begs Liam not to leave her as reality sets in that his wife betrayed him by having a one-night stand with his dad.
JMW's Emmy reel (2019 award ceremony for 2018 airdates)
contained clips from all of these epis:
Episodes: #7745, #7746, #7852, #7754, #7888, #7896
Air Dates: Tuesday, January 2, 2018 | Wednesday, January 3, 2018 | Monday, June 4, 2018 | Monday, January 15, 2018 | Tuesday, July 24, 2018 | Friday, August 3, 2018source:
https://www.soapcentral.com/emmys/news/2019/0422-emmy_coverage_clips_lead_actress.phpBut I just watched 7745 (Jan 2, 2018) and 7746 (Jan 3, 2018)
and it's one scene over two epis.
Liam learns of the paternity test and Bill in 7745, and Steffy begs Liam not to leave in 7746.
So which one are they airing June 26?
7745 fits the announced date of Jan 2, '18, but it seems like 7746 better fits the description they announced.0 -

WHOOPS. I meant to say Neil had a secretary in 1997! I had several tabs open and was looking at something from 1984 on another tab.I intended to talk about Neil Winters in 1997
(not Neil Fenmore in 1984).Sorry about that!
Neil Winters first appeared on Feb.14, 1991.
Neil Fenmore was on Y&R approximately 1983-86, I'm not sure.
So sorry I made such a confusing post with the wrong year!
Let me start over....

That makes more sense.

Mon Oct 16, 2006 US, or Friday Oct 13, 2006 Canadian.Devon to Carmen Mesta:
This is about Drucilla. I'm sure you know that. Am I-- I'm sorry. I, uh, I talk too loud sometimes. I'm still getting used to this. All right, um... Carmen, the thing is... Drucilla can be pretty intense. And sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's not so good. Um, she just feels really strongly about certain things. And that's part of what makes her such a great parent. Now I don't know if you knew this about me, but a few years back I was in a group home, all right? I had no one. And at that time, I was, you know, mad at the world and everybody in it. But when Mr. and Mrs. Winters took me in as their foster son, they saved me. They gave me a future. And for the first time in my entire life, I knew what it meant to be a part of a real family. Now... bottom line? I don't wanna see Dru lose all the things that she's worked so hard to give me. And if she loses her job, you know, goes to jail, loses her freedom and gets ripped away from her family---- if this is the right episode, then maybe the week's theme is about parents and children, who have had a difficult time?

(I really don't know, I just keep guessing!)
Monday
Victor was left in an orphanage, now reconciles with his birth mother.
Tuesday
Grace and Tony see Cassie walking into Millie's.(Cassie was adopted by Alice who abandoned her -- and Millie tried to care for her.)
Wednesday
Devon talks about how there was nobody to care for him, and he was in a group home, and had nobody until Dru and Neil took him in.
Thursday
Jill wants to find out if Dina was really sick for two years in a sanitarium, or if Dina is lying and had simply ignored the family for two years.
[But this doesn't really fit, because Jack, Ashley, and Traci were already adults the last time Dina disappeared. I don't know]

Thanks @BoldRestless for posting those 1984 clips. Jill seems like Brenda Dickson in those clips but according to soapcentral, Melinda O. Fee played Jill for part of 1984. I don't know enough about Melinda O. Fee to be able to recognize her acting.
Can anyone clarify who was playing Jill in June 1984?

If my calculations are right, the SOD recap from their July 31, 1984 issue would cover the weeks of July 2-6; 9-13, 1984. The SOD recap from their July 17, 1984 issue would cover the weeks of June 18-22; 25-29, 1984. I think the upcoming 1984 episode is where Victor is reunited with his mother.
I was *guesstimating* that the July 31, 1984 issue of SOD recap would cover end of June 1984, because the Victor/Nikki wedding of April 13, 1984 was covered in in the recaps in the May 22, 1984 SOD issue.Maybe Kalbir is right, because the July 17, 1984 issue is the search for Cora.
https://classicsodyr.tumblr.com/post/152996400472/the-young-the-restless-soap-opera-digest
And the July 31, 1984 issue is what happens when Cora is in Genoa City.https://classicsodyr.tumblr.com/post/153216701921/the-young-the-restless-soap-opera-digest
So I don't know if Monday's episode is the search for Cora, or if it's when Cora is already found.
If it's the search, then maybe the week's theme is "investigations" ?Monday, Paul and Andy search for Victor's biological parents, at Nikki's request.
EDIT LATER .... It turns out that Andy and Paul had already located Victor's mother Cora by this time, and Nikki had brought Cora back to Genoa City. So I'm not sure what goes here for
June 27, 1984 - Monday June 22, 2020.Tuesday, Grace and Tony search for the child that Sharon gave up for adoption. Grace had decided to do this for Sharon (without telling Sharon), because Noah was born premature and might be dying.
Wednesday, Brad tells Victoria that he had asked Paul and JT to search for the reliquary, and Victoria should leave it alone so that she stays safe. But meanwhile Colleen asks Korbel about the reliquary.
Thursday, Jill hires Paul and Nathan to investigate what Dina has been up to in the past few years.

58 minutes ago, Dylan said:
John and Dina are planing a party for Brad and Traci's return. Jill is disappointed that Nathan is going to Switzeland alone. She wanted Paul to go with him but Paul explains that a friend of his lost her son and he wants to be there for her. Jack confides in John about what happened between him and Nikki last night. Ashley visits Nikki who is surprised; she expected her the day before. Ashley explains she went yesterday but found Nikki asleep.
I just watched this last week.
This takes place a short while after Traci & Brad's second wedding - the wedding that was recently rebroadcast. Brad and Traci are on their honeymoon. A hot young woman tries to flirt with Brad but he introduces her to his pregnant wife. Meanwhile in Genoa City, the Abbotts (and former Abbotts) are discussing having a party to welcome Traci and Brad back from their honeymoon.
Dina has previously told Katherine - and now tells John - that she has been completely out of contact with the family for a few years because she got tuberculosis and thought she was dying, and didn't want to burden the family. She ended up in a some sort of healthcare sanitarium in Switzerland for two years, out of contact with the outside world, as they slowly nursed her back to health. After coming to Genoa City for Traci's wedding, Dina has begun seeing John.
In a prior episode, Jill had overheard some of this. So in this epi, Jill hires Paul Williams Investigations firm to go to Switzerland to investigate Dina's past because Jill does NOT believe Dina's story. Paul doesn't want to go to Switzerland himself because Lauren's baby recently died (The baby who died is actually the baby that Sheila switched with Lauren's, but that doesn't come into this episode. Right now everyone but Sheila thinks it's Lauren's baby that died.). Paul doesn't mention Lauren's name but he tells Jill that he wants to be there as a friend/support for someone who recently lost her child. Paul says that Nathan Hastings is a qualified investigator perfectly qualified to investigate Dina, and Paul is sending Nathan to Switzerland to research Dina. Jill is insistent - and indignant -because she wants the head of the firm - Paul - to go himself. Jill is pressing this to happen immediately because she thinks John is about to propose to Dina, and Jill wants John for herself.
A lot of the episode is about Nikki's drinking. Ashley had gone over to the ranch and found Nikki passed out drunk/drugged, but Ashley didn't realize it and thought Nikki was just very deeply asleep. Nikki gave the excuse that she had the flu. Jack is upset and really loves Nikki but he doesn't know what to do, and he almost loses it (as the clip just posted above shows).Edited to correct. It should say that Jill thinks John is about to propose to Dina. (I had the wrong name)

I was *guesstimating* that the July 31, 1984 issue of SOD recap would cover end of June 1984, because the Victor/Nikki wedding of April 13, 1984 was covered in in the recaps in the May 22, 1984 SOD issue.0 -

I found this old recap from the last week of June 1984 I had saved (I'm sure it was originally posted here but I did not think to save the poster's name, so apologies for not giving credit):
<snip>
Dina taunted Lauren about how Paul will feel when he sees the steamy video music tape love scenes between Lauren and Danny.
After comparing that with the SOD synopsis, I conclude that was a typo.
It should say *Gina* taunted Lauren (Not Dina).0 -

Danny eloped with Traci after saving her from an attempted suicide. Victor fumed to learn that Cora is staying with Kay. Cora lied to Victor that she's hanging around to get what money she can from him. Jill fumed that Jack said he might marry her if John throws her over. The Abbotts were floored to hear of Traci's marriage; while Tim is still puzzled that she's avoiding him. Patty waited for Danny, who forgot about their date plans. Dina taunted Lauren about how Paul will feel when he sees the steamy video music tape love scenes between Lauren and Danny. Jack admitted to Dina he had a one-night stand with Jill and that the incident is recorded on film.
Here is the SOD recap from July 31, 1984 issue that covers the end of June episodes:

Funny that David appeared so relaxed at the wedding since this was just after the story of where David had framed Danny for cocaine possession/intent to sell.
In the prior episodes, David figured out that his neighbor Vivian was connected to a previous wife he had murdered, and that she had moved to Genoa City to investigate, and that she knew it was David -- because she had figured out that Nina's brooch was the same brooch as the one David's late wife had. So then you see him arriving inside her apartment and you know he's about to do something, and she's terrified. And then the next scene he is getting on the plane with the wedding party to go to Hawaii. They never showed that he killed Vivian because he did it offscreen, but it was totally implied. This made his cheeriness in Maui all the more sinister to me.

Someone at rec.arts.tv.soaps asked about
Blade, Jack, Mari Jo, Ashley, the painting, and the signature,
and there was a thread of replies:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.arts.tv.soaps/6W1FMzHigm4/nZ_37RHji0UJ
(That is a thread.)
The initial post, dated 9/16/94 was a bunch of questions, and here are the replies:
--------------
reply dated 9/17/94
>What is the connection between Blade and Jack's fiancé (I think her name is Mary Jo)?
Reply: Mary Jo used to be involved with Blade. But at some point in the relationship Mary Jo slept with Blade's Brother (no name yet). When Blade found out he proceeded to break up with her, and he got in a fight with his brother on the docks. Supposedly, after Blade punched his brother to the dock floor, his brother fell off the dock into the ocean and drowned. Blade claims he did not hear his brother's cry for help, but Mary Jo claims that Blade heard his brother, but simply ignored his cries for help.
>What is Mary Jo hiding?
Reply: She has not told Jack her really name yet or the fact that she and Blade were once involved with each other. Basically, her whole past is being hidden from Jack.
>Why would Jack and Ashley be so upset by this information?
Reply: Who knows. I guess they (the writers) figure that Ashley and Jack would be mad that they were not told about the previous relationship between Blade and Mary Jo.

Reply dated 9/19/94
> Jack's fiancé. Who is she?
Reply: Mary Jo was Blade's old girlfriend. She sort of "hunted" him down.
>What is Blade's mysterious past? (any new revelations over the summer)
Reply: Blade had a twin brother (read: his "evil twin"). He got into an argument with him over Mary Jo and Blade killed him.. (Mary Jo slept with his brother while engaged to Blade)
>What is the connection between Blade and Jack's fiancé (I think her name is Mary Jo)?
Reply: Mary Jo saw Blade kill his brother (Blade didn't know that she was watching).
>What is Mary Jo hiding?
Reply: Her real relationship to Blade
>Why would Jack and Ashley be so upset by this information?
Reply: Mary Jo and Blade were involved in the past.

Earlier comment:
Blade had a twin brother (read: his "evil twin"). He got into an argument over Mary Jo with him and Blade killed him. (Mary Jo slept with his brother while engaged to Blade)
Another poster in reply (clarification-correction) to that comment:
Blade said it was an accident. He pushed his brother into the water and did not hear his brother yell that he couldn't swim and thus … drowned.
Earlier comment:
Mary Jo saw Blade kill his brother (Blade didn't know that she was watching).
Another poster in reply (clarification) to that comment:
Blade did not know his brother couldn't swim.
Why didn't Marilyn help him out of the water? Marilyn=MariJo
Original question: I also remember an episode a while ago where Blade and Ashley received a wedding gift -- it was some sort of painting. Was this painting a gift from Mary Jo? What significance did it have?
Reply to the question: She gave the painting to them as Marilyn. Only Blade knows who it's from. Ashley received the gift in the mail with no name on it, only (MM) in the corner.

Mari-jo/Marilyn was Blade's fiancé, she slept with Blade's twin brother. Blade and his brother had a fight on the wharf. Blade hit his bro, who then fell down. Blade turned around and left. The brother then FELL into the ocean and drowned. Marijo sent Blade and Ash the painting for a wedding gift to tell Blade that she knew where he was. Blade told Ashley he didn't know who Marilyn is. Then Marilyn showed up in town (presumably to terrorize Blade), accidentally bumped into Jack and they became an item. Marilyn has been taunting Blade by telling him that she "heard" them fighting from her apartment on the other side of the wharf. And when she saw the brother fall into the water she ran to help..."I never saw him again"...SOB!

Reply: The painting depicts the dock upon which Blade and his brother fought over Marilyn/Mary-Jo. Marilyn sent it to Blade as a reminder of his deed.
----- end thread -----
Edit to add: there was one more reply on that rec.arts.tv.soaps thread, dated 9/17/94
That reply said: "I think they said Blade's brother's name was Alex. (Or was that his real name?)".
[NOTE: Soapcentral didn't exist back then, but now the soapcentral bio says:
Blade's full name was Alexander Bladeson. His twin was Rick Bladeson.]

That catches us up to the week of the episode we are wondering about.
(But we still do not know if any of this is in the Sept 21, 1994 episode.)
