It may be been John Conboy who later said that Erica Hope could not walk and chew gum at the same time. She was not a good actress, but to be honest, When Melody Thomas took over, I thought she was pretty dreadful too.

Oooh! First dibs on Mr. Pointy!!! He can point anything he wants, my way!

I am saving them for a rainy day, after I finish my current stash of to-watch vids. Ahhh, the good old days. Y&R had so many charismatic, memorable stars during its first decade, like Trish Stewart (Chris Brooks), William Gray Espy (Snapper Foster), Janice Lynde (Leslie Brooks), Tom Hallick (Brad Elliot), Jaime Lyn Bauer (Lorie Brooks), and so many others. It was hard watching them all drift away.

I was a daily viewer of Y&R back then, and I saw Halsey's portrayal of John Abbott. He did not last very long. I felt he was miscast from the start, like Erica Hope as Nikki Reed, Patricia Everly as Peggy Brooks and Bond Gideon as Jill Foster had been. Still, he was not awful. Y&R has cast many actors who were way worse than Halsey, LOL.

Watch an ep of TGL with Rita Bauer, and just the voice alone will help you go, "Aha!"

I tend just to delete huge quote bubbles from any site, only keeping the text or pictures that really catch my interest. You kept in the picture of Matthew Camp, I noticed, who is a MAJOR BABE and my future husband...or at least boytoy!

No, it's Lenore Kasdorf from TGL.

I'm glad that you like at least some of the pictures I post. Everyone's taste is so different, and I do tend to gravitate towards posting images I personally find sexy, but I still want everyone else to get an occasional tingle too, LOL!

Mindless critics have always been ignorant of the quality soaps (used to) produce. They assume that if it's part of a soap opera, it must be subpar, quality-wise. I was watching a classic ATWT episode once, when a neighbor came over. After watching with me for several minutes, he thought it was a stage play from Playhouse 90. HA!

I've always thought Perry was a very solid actor, and boy did I have the hots for him back in the day.

The internet is awash with hilarious comments. Just have a good chuckle and move on.

Keeping the thread alive....

Cool. Thanks!

I had no idea archive.or even existed. Thanks for the info. I do wish they had issues going up into the 1970s, but I'm certainly happy too see anything available!

"Minipoo"? What an...unfortunate name, like the diet product AYDS from years ago. I love, love, love vintage movie magazines for this very reason: the fun articles and ads you find. I could read them all day. I just wish I could afford to buy more mags, but they are so often quite expensive on eBay.

Oh yes, Vigard is a good candidate here. The discussions of her alleged unprofessional and flaky behavior were not flattering.

I took acting classes in school too, and they were a hoot. I've always been able to cry on cue, and could weep very easily. My teacher told me that I was one of the best criers he knew, and that I could also faint convincingly. ROTF! Unfortunately, I was never able to get rich off those important skills. Very few employers seem to look for crying and fainting on a resume.

Maybe Mart Hulswit, who had been fired as Ed Bauer and denigrated in an interview by Douglas Marland?

It's painful watching vintage material be butchered and hacked, to make way for extra commercials. Some of edited episodes I have seen of I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, and The Big Valley have been atrocious!

I wish they'd start broadcasting the series from the very beginning. I'd watch! Ena Sharples forever, woohoo!

Well, even the Media Player Classic allowed me to download on more sites than just youtube. I would not pay for a program that is as restrictive as 123Copy seems to be. Thanks for the info.

OMG, yes, that's it. Thank you so much. I only used it a few times before my ancient computer had a nervous breakdown, but MPC seemed to work well for me. Checking its reviews now on the web, it does not appear to be as highly rated as some of the other free downloaders, so if I have trouble with it I'll try the one Carl kindly suggested.
