What a cool curio! I've always adored JA. Thanks for the tag.

Personal slights, betrayal and pain can be overwhelming and painful to deal with, so I can't totally condemn someone for being unable to suppress or hide their feelings completely. If that's the case and it's evident on screen, probably the best solution is to avoid asking the performers involved to be in scenes together.

It is curious, considering that Hasselhoff and Adair were not even the best or most memorable actors in the roles of Snapper and Jill.

Oh, thank you so much. You are an angel!😘 DH seemed somewhat stiff and stilted, but from the way some posters on the internet were talking about the scene, I thought it would be significantly worse than what it was. The public will likely never know how the alleged feud began (and, really, actors' private lives are none of our business), but it is a shame if BTS tension influences what ends up on screen.

That's where I looked first, Twitter and Facebook. Being unable to track it down, I thought I'd ask here. SONers are known to work miracles.😄

Okay, folks on various social media platforms are really buzzing about the awkwardness and tension in the scene featuring SSH, DH and SR. I'm now dying to see for myself. Is this available anywhere?

I thought several of the original cast members had enough charisma and star power to make it outside of soaps, but as we know, it often ends up being a crapshoot as to who garners success and fame and who doesn't. Some mediocre talents break through and land great, attention-spawning jobs, while much more talented individuals struggle in the background. Trish Stewart, Janice Lynde, Jaime Lyn Bauer and William Gray Espy all could have hit it big, had luck shone down upon their heads and careers.

I thought the original casting of the show was perfection. Even though a few actors came across as green in the beginning, they all had a certain "je ne said quoi," a certain star appeal. And they all grew into their roles quite nicely. That has certainly NOT been the case since then, LOL.

So, I've found some stills on Facebook of vintage Y&R eps featuring Bond Gideon as Jill Foster #2 and Patricia Everly as Peggy Brooks #2 (also Charles Gray as Bill Foster, but I can't seem to locate that one again now). I do not suppose they are on Youtube, LOL. I haven't seen these eps since they originally aired.

Riley is available in full on Youtube here in Canada, although its pay-per-view ($3.99 standard definition and $4.99 HD). If you can watch it in the USA on YT for free, go for it. I've seen it, and there's not much that would need to be edited out.

Reading your recaps is more absorbing than sitting through any of the soaps being broadcast today, @Reverend Ruthledge . When I first listened to the radio broadcasts from 1950, I was so pleased and gratified to see how well-written the scripts were, and how strong the actors played their roles. Charita Bauer was a pip even then!

You. Really. Need. To. Compile. All. Your. Soap. Summaries. Into. A. Book. Seriously! All your excellent synopses are so well written, invaluable as historical documentation, and just a joy to read.😊

What TIIC at the time did to Patty is a travesty. Bill Bell must be rolling over in his grave. (Or perhaps "spinning" is more like it.) As the last remaining Williams on the show, giving her a redemption arc would be nice, but probably impossible at this point. What a mess this show is.

@slick jones , I always appreciate the time and work you put in here.😉 That first photo of Maeve McGuire is gorgeous. Jayne Bentzen may have been a model and a lovely woman, but our Maeve was a radiant STAR!😍

Okay, that is the last time I knew of the lamp's whereabouts too. I'm going to continue daydreaming about ways it could have ended up with Papa Bauer!
