Okay, then it was the Huntington Mansion connected to Justine. I was wrong. Thank you for sharing the episode and the information.

Didn't they bring up the Chapin Mansion years later, during the Justine plot? Justine bought an old decaying mansion, kidnapped Vicky and kept her there. If I'm not mistaken, it was referred to as the Chapin Mansion a couple of times.

Good points. But it wasn't a tumor that brought about Rachel's brain surgery in '78. Sven had kidnapped Rachel and hidden her in the pump-house on the Cory estate. When that was discovered, Sven pushed Rachel and knocked her down, as he was trying to escape. Rachel hit her head on a ledge of concrete and suffered brain damage which required surgery. As if the kidnapping wasn't enough. LOL.

There are several interesting and confusing things about this promo. First, Rachel and Mac were already a couple by this point, and they might have already been married. So why does the promo feature Rachel and Steve? The Alice/Steve/Rachel triangle had been over for months. And who are the brothers mentioned in the promo? I believe the only two brothers on the entire show at this time were Steve and Willis. But Rachel had moved on from Steve at this point, and she was NEVER involved with Willis. This entire ad sends some weird messages. I wonder who wrote it...

I agree with your comment. To me, this makes the entire show more believable. Many big extended families think they are perfect, but no family is perfect, and I don't mind the Duprees' delusions. The Duprees might be a great family, but they aren't perfect.

If I'm not mistaken, VW kept this hairstyle (or very similar) until Rachel's brain surgery in 1978. At that point (since Rachel's head was supposedly shaved), VW got a new shorter hair style and the character was said to be wearing a wig for a while. Very soon after this, VW went through a series of wavy (and occasionally curly) perms. Some of those perms worked better than others.

Something seems to be going on with her voice. Has anyone else noticed? At times, it seems she has difficulty getting words out -- as if it takes a lot of effort.

Any bets on who the next psycho from the past will be? I think the list is getting slim. Maybe David Kimball? Or how about Sven Petersen from Another World?? Who cares if it's not the same show or same network? LOL.

You prove my point. Y&R fans need a break from these endless addiction storylines. Please writers -- write something else for us. How about a young romantic triangle? How about a murder mystery with an actual trial? Maybe some social class conflict?? Whoops -- no working-class characters on this show...

Please, not yet another addiction story on Y&R. I understand addiction is a serious issue and should be represented on daytime. But over the years far too many Y&R characters have experienced addiction in its various forms -- alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, gambling, online pornography, etc. Am I missing anything?? Y&R fans need at least a ten-year moratorium on addiction plots.

When Van and Paul moved to New York, did the entire show change locations and move to New York? Or were there still scenes in Barrowsville (I think that was the name of LOL's first location)?? And when Van left New York, did she move directly to Rosehill, or did she return to Barrowsville for a while?

Did I miss an episode or something. I saw the big explosion at the end of yesterday's show. And then today, there's no mention of the explosion, and everybody comes back to the hotel room. It's like an entire episode is missing.

Thank you for the response.

Well, DRW50 indicated that these comments were made in the early 1990s, so that was still during the Marland era. Both Gwen and adult Casey were many years later. And I don't recall Billy Ross at all, so no idea in which decade he appeared. Perhaps the Bills and the Billys were very minor characters -- perhaps even under-fives. Who knows?

Hmm. I wonder which characters they were referring to. At the moment, I don't recall who Bill and/or Billy may have been.
