How many episodes of Brenda Dickson's Jill were shown? Were there any shown of Bond Gideon's Jill?

Alan Locher's "Locher Room" youtube show, August 7, 2020. This is a reunion of writers who wrote for As the World Turns. The first hour is entirely about ATWT. I didn't watch that part because I never saw that soap. After that first hour, the host Alan asks the writers what they are doing now. Susan Dansby starts talking about Y&R. Susan Dansby announced that as of the day before (August 6), it was firmed up that she is returning to Y&R. She said she will be a "story_____" Part of what she said was not able to be heard. Not clear if this is temp or ongoing, because someone talked over her. This was already posted on the Directors and Writers thread. Posting here on this racial representation thread because Susan Dansby said that when she originally joined Y&R (in 2011), she was the first black writer on Y&R. The quote is first in 47 years but what was intended was this: When she originally joined Y&R in 2011, she was the first black person on the writing team in the history of the show. And as of 2020, Y&R has been on the air for 47 years. She said she was shocked when she first joined (in 2011) to learn she was the first, because ATWT had had 4 black writers. In her current return to Y&R, she joins black writer Lynn Martin who has been at Y&R since 2018. She goes on to talk about racism and hiring practices. Susan starts talking at about 1:05:00 into the video.

In some cases, it seems like hurried research with no verification checking. In other cases, it seems like someone reads poorly and transcribes correct info into incorrect info. And sometimes it's both. Whoever writes these things up should not get a job doing data entry in an accounting firm or doing genealogy reports.

The CBS press release said Dec 4, 1996, so many of the soap websites, and all of the cable guides and tv guides had that wrong date -- wrong DECADE.

They've got 6 days left to promote it in US ... but only 4 days for Canadians who watch on Global.

Thanks. I really didn't want it to be true.

However, when I go to "ontvtonight.com/ca/guide" , I do see the notation "new". https://www.ontvtonight.com/ca/guide/listings/tvshow?cid=69023963&pid=3983003614&tm=2020-08-06+20%3A30%3A00 Is that what you're referring to?

When I look up what Global is showing, this is what I do: I just go to Global's website. I'm in the US and can't watch their videos; but I can read their page. I go here: https://www.globaltv.com/shows/the-young-and-the-restless/ I don't click on "schedule". Instead, I scroll down almost to the bottom of the page, and I see this: That's how it usually looks on a Sunday night, and then each night at 9:45pm Pacific or 12:45am Eastern, it updates and adds another date. And then at some point during the week the dates-without-episode-numbers.... update .... and show episode numbers. That's what I've been doing since the pandemic classics began airing. I don't see any notation saying "new" but ... I honestly don't know what the schedule looked like months ago when it was only new episodes.

edit. I posted this in wrong place. ignore

Monday Aug 3 - CBS (Friday July 31 - Global) Episode #3492 from Dec 5, 1986. We know it's Dec 5, 1986 (even though IMDB says Dec 4, 1986.) Some soap outlets are saying 1996 -- off by a decade. Not sure where this came from .... if one of the soap outlets started it with a typo, or if the wrong date was in the CBS press release. SOD says December 4, 1996. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/yr-brings-back-more-classic-episodes/ Soapcentral says December 4, 1996. https://www.soapcentral.com/yr/news/2020/0730-yr_most_shocking_moments_week.php Daytime Confidential says December 12, 1996. https://daytimeconfidential.com/2020/07/30/shocking-moments-of-the-young-and-the-restless-are-on-deck-next-week soaps.com used Dec 4, 1986. (they seem to have used dates and descriptions that had appeared on messageboards) https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/spoilers/573357/young-restless-spoilers-august-3-through-7-2020/ Edit to add: cable guides "ontvtonight.com/ca/guide" lists Dec 4, 1996 titantv.com has the description but no original airdate. zap2it.com lists DEC 4, 1996 tvguide.com lists 12-04-1996 Well then it must have come from CBS.

Thanks for the date and the vid. And now we will get to see the end with Mary confronting Paul. LOL.

According to the Bell script library index, #3492 is Dec 5, 1986 (not Dec 4). http://pdf.oac.cdlib.org/pdf/ucla/pasc/wjbell.pdf IMDB has #3924 with the date of Dec 4, 1986. Yet IMDB shows epi 3924 with the description that matches the copy in the vault dated Dec 5, 1986. The latest press release for the coming week's Classic epis, says Dec 4, 1986. @YRfan23 do you know if it should be Dec 4 or Dec 5?

Technically, Wednesday isn't her paternity. Because the test says Neil is her father. The shocking moment is her learning *why* the paternity test was run -- Malcolm explains that Dru was very sick and had gotten fuzzy from cough syrup, and she had sex with him because she thought he was Neil; but somehow Malcolm didn't know that and thought Dru wanted him(Malcolm). So Lily is shocked to learn about the sexual encounter that caused the paternity test to be run. But the real paternity is not yet revealed. (Dru did something to cause the test to come out as Neil, I think).

That was Justin Hartley's last episode as an "alive" Adam. He may have appeared in flashbacks after that but otherwise that was Adam's "death".

Fri July 31 CBS (Thurs July 30 Global Canada) Episode #11,000 Original US airdate Sept 1, 2016. Adam (Justin Hartley) is in the cabin and Chloe blows it up. Neil visits his mother Lucinda (Nichele Nichols) who left him when he was a a boy. She is dying, and she reveals to him that she left the family in order to protect him -- because she was an alcoholic at the time. https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/recaps/25302/chloe-enacts-her-most-nefarious-plan-ever-with-explosive-results/

I have seen posts referencing a "French episode guide". What is that?

According to the Bell script library index, #3492 is Dec 5, 1986 (not Dec 4). http://pdf.oac.cdlib.org/pdf/ucla/pasc/wjbell.pdf IMDB says it's Dec 4. The copy in the vault is labeled Dec 5. The IMDB description for Dec 4 matches the copy in the vault dated Dec 5.

It began airing with Mariah having the hots for Nick and trying to seduce him, but he did not respond.

Y&R couldn't find anything for this young goddess to do.

Yeah the "reveal" is Lily learning about the week of her conception .... Malcolm tells Lily about .... Malcolm having sex with Dru when Dru was in an altered state (sick, and fuzzy due to cough syrup) and she thought he was Neil... and that the envelope is her paternity test. The paternity test is opened and it shows that Neil is the father. Lily is devastated to hear about Malcolm and Dru. Meanwhile Phyllis learns that there were two paternity tests.

Friday, July 31: "Victor reunites with his estranged father, Albert Miller" (I assume that's from a press release). Those CBS press releases are sometimes written by people who don't understand what's going on. He is not an "estranged father". The word "estranged" means "having lost former closeness and affection". It should say Victor confronts his cruel biological father who was never a father to him.
