The Venice remote was top nothc! Over the top cheesy with Tawny and the tower run threat, fabulous with Thorne/Brooke/Macy (LOVED IT) and really tough stuff with Amber/Rick. I know Torkildsen isn't well liked her but he kicked a$$ in the afternath of the Little Eric paternity reveal. And man, this was when a story climax lasted a whole week. I miss those days...

I second all your statements about Ramona. Afterall, she did last longer than originally planned. She could have vanished after Victor left New Mexico but they did incorporate her in the afternath. And the cast was overcrowded with STELLAR actresses. I liked her a lot and also liked the actress in b*tch mode as B&B's Carmen.

Am pumped to order my ticket. Too bad pre-sale starts on Monday (for Berlin at least) with me not at home, so hopefully the ticket site operate on Safari and doesn't have flash...

it should be noted that they did recast the maid with a prettier actress (as seen in this episode) - so Bill Bell must have changed story directions in between. And I think Farren's daughter was played by Kay Alden's daughter? IMO, Farren was boring but Colleen Casey had beuatiful singing voice and much more tolerable than Michael Damian.

Not necessarily a bore but they came close. Their appeal was how frinedship grew into sth. bigger... I wasn't a major fan, but what pissed be off was that due to viewer hypocrisy this pairing got scrapped whereas 1998 had some major clunker pairings who had a longer life or got a better ending than Neil&Victoria...

The show really kicked a$$ back then. And the fight for BeLieF hadn't even started yet...

Ashley's abortion as it was NEVER called on-screen was indeed a clusterfuck story. But Eileen Davidson delivered some fantastic performances and the whole stuff at the psych ward in NYC was can't miss.

I don't think Y&R has ever done some special anniversary episodes, they did however celebrate some of their jubilees like the 25th and 30th with some anniversary storylines (e.g. 1998: return of Carl Williams/Jill vs. Kay & Phillip's letters) that included lots of past characters and flashbacks galore. PS: could someone post/embed the January 8, 1993 episode #5? I'm looking for ways to get around to to see it as YouTube is blocking that clip for me...

They were genuine and hot. Mostly because they drew Ridge BALLISTIC.

Barbara Crampton's Leanna was LOVE. Especially ultra-camp-style under Kay Alden.

One should mention that the story had FANTASTIC built up, it did actually honor history with Vickie's ohoto spreads (I had to got there LOL) and Heather and Ricky Paul (who I loathe in any other role) knocked it out the park. I loved it! Speaking of Heather & Don Diamont: always thought they were already chem tested back in 1995 when Nikki was with Brad. The hatred of Vicke&Brad was just oozing chemistry and if hadn't been for Mary Jo shooting Victor as the next story climax I could have seen mother&daughter being tied to Brad...

Word. Sheila was always a complex character but on Y&R her means to stay viable were extremely limited with Lauren being the only character she had a connection to. Jack Smith failed miserably mostly because of a lack of trying and shortsightedness to give her an option to stay beyond the Lauren-feud. Whereas on B&B, even after the cartoon stint Sheila had so much history with core characters which could have easily worked to give her another healthy run in LA...

Looking forward to them A LOT. Thanks for all your effort! As for Kimberlin lack of airtime/presence in your uploaded episodes: back then there was NO airhogging. So even when she was on a lot she probably had 15 episodes a month at max.

When was Kimberlin Brown signed to contract on Y&R? I was surpsied that she was recurring when she started on the show and even 6 months into her run (episodes are up on YouTube and divine...) she still was. And was Tracey Bregman nasal voice corrected with surgery or was it some ludicrous acting choice of hers? Rewatching some early stuff I noticed again that up until the mid 90s her speech manner was really different to today...

Question: I just started watching the Victor returns from the dead reveal on YouTube and am puzzled by the fact that MITCHELL SHERMAN is present at Victor's rertun event. So why's that? Is it because he was involved in Jack's plan to get his hands on NE?

BUMP Has Shackleford finally quit now with BFF Bas Bloom gone and a likely pay cut?

I know what you mean: just wanted to stress that e.g. the pic for the 1995-1996 season usually only has those actors in it which were still part of the show come January 1996...

One of the craziest TV moments EVER. I LOVED Taylor!

B&B's cast picture are usually taken in November, but only the last couple of years they have labled the photo as the official cast photo of the following year though...

Articles in the soap rags used to be SO MUCH better like this profile shows...

No idea but from what I remember story-wise it was never much an option for hope to gain eyesight. They talked about visiting a specialist or even saw one but it was always clear that is nearly impossible to cure her blindness. By it it was also more powerful that those sluts Nikki and Vickie kept spouting ther insults at Hope for "trying to steal Victor" and "connocting a powerful scheme to get into Victor's life". How I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATED both of them during that time. Nowadays I would wish that Vickie would trigger any emotion... LOL

They did not even bother. It was just not mentioned after the dinner. One of the lamest plot devices ever. And one of the reason why I liked Kay Alden taking over because Bill Bell had some issues of laziness in 1996/1997...

Like for 5 seconds before she started to piss EVERYBODY in town again. This was the time when Brenda was at her divaishest. The story was fantastic (as it not only rejuvenated Kay/Jill but also Jack), although the conclusion/reveal was kind of unnecessary and boring.

wow this is bad. like the worst 90s/early 2000s boom-boom songs revisted...

Indeed. Continue watching, Cat! You won't miss an episode there - AW was pre-empted on these days and ALL episodes are up till 5th Octorber 1992...
