That scene at Kyle’s house with Brandi May be the phoniest, most staged, poorly acted scene in Housewife history. Throw most of this cast away immediately.

To echo others, I didn’t grow up on Y&R and only actually got into it in the last 14 years or so I LOVE these classics. I love the acting, the music, the closeups. This is a show I wish I would’ve watched before it became the show that I got into.

F.uck Rinna.

Nooo not ChiChi. I always loved her. I wish she had waited a little longer to do AllStars.

Hartley was so so good as Adam and the character evolved. Of course they undid all of that when they brought in Gossman for some reason.

OMG OMG

I just got to the end of the episode. She totally had me convinced when I posted! She was phenomenal! They really had me hooked. The soaps never do that anymore.

Omg I didn’t realize Victor’s mom was so down and dirty daaaaamn. Fantastic actress.

I’m like 18 episodes behind on the classics but as I’m getting caught up it’s crazy to see how important the Barber/Winters used to be to the show. It’s actually criminal what the writers over the years have done to decimate the family and basically make their role on the canvas null and void. What even happened to the character of Olivia? I wasn’t watching when she was on, but she’s been featured so much in these classics starting from 1990 and is barely mentioned even with her son on canvas.

You nailed it on right on the head as usual.

Thank god the glam squad has disappeared as featured performers this year and I believe last season as well. I really enjoyed Kathryn, no clue why they didn’t keep her or keep both of them.

I honestly can’t tell you a single storyline Erika has had since panty gate. Zero.

That gap is huge, it's similar to MKE and Gina when they came on OC. Someone Vicki's age wouldn't be hanging out with women almost 30 years younger than her. They def need to fill out the cast with some people at least in their 40's.

I definitely wouldn’t mind a mix of old and new next season. I do love that Carole and Dorinda have actually maintained their friendship that started on the show. Same with Carole and Heather.

Oh gosh the at home talking heads on RHONY tonight were terrible and so distracting. But I did enjoy Dorinda turning on Ramona.

This is why I can’t stand Fraud at all and never will.

I knew it was nothing special. Brandi is so [!@#$%^&*] thirsty.

I did think he was an ass though to tell Ongina that he should've had a whiteout moment and sent her home. It was completely unnecessary and served no purpose.

So Nikki got feelings for Jack before Victor fell for Ashley? I’d love to see some Terry Lester Jack and Nikki. Always enjoyed Peter’s Jack with Nikki from the old episodes they’ve been showing and the time they got back together a few years ago, unfortunately Nikki was still obsessed with Victor.

Oh gosh I started watching during LML and either blocked it out or missed it.

Don’t remind me lol. It is amazing how great he looks and how much energy he still has onscreen. I need to know whatever the hell he is doing.

Watching the 1986 episode now, I despise this film look they’ve done to the show. It’s so nice seeing SSH back in the 80’s. I’ve never seen her from this time period. When was the last time she appeared on Y&R? Surely Lauren has needed her mother. But the show seems to not really care about the parents or siblings of the vets at all these days. Really weird to see Nikki out with Victors brother. Lauren’s hair in this episode is ridiculous. Tracey Bregman definitely got better with age. She doesn’t really look like she’s aged much in 34 years.

I’ve really appreciated everyone’s responses on Brad Carlton. I’m currently watching the classic from CBS where Ashley is romanced by Victor and strangely, Victor’s brother is romancing Nikki. How did audiences respond to the affair with Ashley and Victor? From everything I’ve seen, Braeden had excellent chemistry with both Eileen and Brenda. I still enjoy Ashley and Victor scenes to this day, Eric really lights up around her. Why the hell was he okay with his brother going after his ex?

I’ve made it to John’s funeral. Who the hell decided to kill off John?! That seems like such a stupid move. He seemed like such an integral part of the show. I always hated Ghost John because he was such a prick to Jack all the time and in the episodes I’ve seen, John was actually really kind and supportive of Jack. Did Gloria and John have a good love story? Were people actually invested in them? I’ve always hated Gloria. I dunno how the Abbott’s could ever even be around Kevin after what he did to Colleen.

The Phyllis/Jack proposal episode gave me some of the drama I was waiting for with Ashley/Traci/Brad/Colleen drama. I had asked in the Y&R Old articles thread if that had ever been an issue and I’m glad to see it was. Interesting seeing this episode and Ryan and Victoria are together. I had seen them as a couple in the 1991 episodes and this is ten years later. Peter Bergman sold the hell out of his love for Phyllis. I’ve really enjoyed the first Mac I’ve seen in these older episodes. When I was watching Cybill Shepherd’s daughter was playing her and was one of the worst actresses I’ve ever seen. And then there was another Mac who was so happy go lucky and dating JT, she seemed like a different character.
