Agree with 100% above. In a way it feels like the final years of ATWT when the show would trode out the vets for a wedding or a big climax and get good reviews for the episodes all the while the rest of the show was completely crap.

Still having trouble with this lol Idk why @Faulkner’s picture gets displayed like that...

Tricia Quick on B&B was definitely meant to be a Taylor replacement after Tylo left the show in 2002, I think Tricia lasted all but six months on the show. I remember SOD was highly critical of the whole thing. To chime in on others comments Tucker on Y&R was indeed developed as a Victor replacement during whole EB leaving back in 2009 while Genevieve was an attempt to replace both Nikki & Jill at the same time.

LOVED seeing Jill & Nina on my TV screen today, the classic clips as well as Abby’s flashbacks were fantastic too. I wish Justin Gaston was permanently cast as Chance lol so much better than Boaz.

At the very least special DVD releases should have been seriously considered. The only short run soap I could even seen succeeding in a syndication would be Sunset Beach but that has longgggg past it’s time. I remember Sci-Fi tried to rerun Passions but it flopped badly.

After Dark Shadows got its own PlutoTV channel, why not Y&R? Doesn’t need to be every episode but maybe something more like a memorable moments channel.

Lol I saw that after I found clips of it on YT, it was lousy as I remembered. One saving grace from the clips I watched was Phillip was rather repulsed when he found out that Buzz was married to Reva lol although weirdly for all the talk of how long Phillip and Reva knew each other not once did Phillip even acknowledge Reva’s return from the dead.

I remember it was Dietz’s A-M who exposed Amanda as infamous Malibu Madam and his announcement was so underwhelming. Didn’t Phillip come back for A-M & Lucy’s wedding? I remember thinking him and a lonely Rick were going to dance together at the time lol.

Wow had no idea she was pushing 70 when she took over, what a strange choice. I wonder how she felt to see her creations quickly get destroyed so fast.

Whatever happened to Laemmle in the end? Did anyone get a chance to interview her after she was fired?

It’s so weird to think that back then Paul & Nikki were the show’s C-story at the time yet they both ended up lasting more than 40 years on the show.

So I keep having the strangest issue when ever I try to log in on my iPad as I keep getting the below screen which it utterly bizarre to me. Anyone else have this issue?

It wouldn’t surprise me if this becomes his claim to fame, sort of like a modern day Ashley Hamilton or something lol.

Max Ehrich drama strikes the tabloids again: https://www.tvshowsace.com/2020/11/20/max-ehrich-still-thinks-demi-lovato-is-using-him-for-publicity/?fbclid=IwAR13U6pLLqEQtNQp4tD9sAP_wWCe20tpjdhyiuRyzS57lpAOXY7GTsRozyE and this mess on top of it all: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a34728031/max-ehrich-mariah-angeliq-beach-paps/

Still no answers what Larry & Linda’s story was though lol? Only mention I can find in my notes was “she had feelings for perpetual loser in love Greg Foster”. 🙈 Edit: Nevermind just saw @FrenchFan’s post, thanks! I suppose the Larkins faced the same fate the Laurence family did just a few years later.

Lol one example being as being a schoolteacher myself I know our school district definitely pays Disney licensing fees to show anything Disney in class unauthorized(if caught lol) can result in a bit of a hefty fine. I think Disney finally backed off schools a bit right before Covid when the CEO intervened in one case, but I’ve heard of movie companies going after assisted living & nursing home facilities too for showing movies without licensing fees. My problem with the soaps is their is no outlet for them at all. Same with a lot of shows...I mean LA Law’s all 8 seasons finally showed up on Amazon Prime yet such a legacy show was completely absent during the DVD era. Yikes

Y&R needs it own Pluto TV channel just like Dark Shadows has.

Thank you @YRfan23!! Always a hero, hopefully this gets saved quick too. What is the story behind Larry & Linda Larkin? I’ve seen their names mentioned fleetingly in the past, were they suppose to become major characters?

I hope we see true classics again on Christmas Day and for NYE again just like the late 90s/early 00’s.

Some recent discussion in the monthly Days inspired me to ask what is everyone’s favorite triangle/quad and their least favorite? Probably my favorite triangles of all time is Nikki/Victor/Ashley on Y&R along with Reva/Josh/Annie on GL. Favorite quad is Neil/Dru/Nathan/Olivia on Y&R. My least favorite triangle is definitely Hope/Liam/Steffy on B&B and worst quad for me is Nick/Sharon/Jack/Phyllis. God that was torture!

LOL been catching up with the Vault lately of stuff I have missed do you know which clip it is?

LOL did Weiss’ & Critchlow’s Mikes ever bring up Margo?

They were alright but was one of Thudley’s poor attempts to do a socially relevant and diverse storyline that he overdid and gave up on it. Also around the same time he gave us Amber having yet another miscarriage along with a painkiller addiction Story that lasted for all about May Sweeps that year if I recall right lol.

I definitely noticed that too! Y&R I know did once before back in 2003 when they showed a lengthy montage of Victor & Ashley’s history together before Ashley’s fateful car accident, someone throw in a silent clip of Victor marrying Epperson’s Ashley to which I was in total shock at the time.

Princi also later came back on Days as a Linda Anderson recast in 1984-85.
