In all honesty, the Daytime Emmys ceremony hasn't been relevant in years. Just present the main daytime drama awards on The Talk.

I think this was Nancy Curlee's last episode:

Agree w/ Daniel Goddard and Greg Rikaart. Would also add Amelia Heinle, 15 years on Y&R plus her previous soap roles means she's been on daytime for the better part of the last 25 or so years.

 Given its been cancelled, I assume regular schedule then? 
 

So weird, I recall back in the late 90s and early 00s all the CBS soaps would plan for a big cliffhanger to happen on that Wednesday. 

I think it's safe to say there will be new episodes all of next week.

Very shocked about this!  I’ve only really seen his work on Y&R and Passions, but he was always very convincing at playing an absolute scumbag!

 

RIP

Oh yes, Terrible Tom was menacing.

RIP Roscoe Born.

Rags as in the rags (clothing) industry. This was never meant to be the actual title, it was just the name the Bells used while developing the show. Brad said in an interview that they knew pretty early on that they'd be going the, "The (blank) and the (blank)" route.

I was thinking Rags as in the tabloid press.

Is true that at one point there was a third Bell soap in the works called "The Proud and the Passionate?"

That title sounds way too cheesy

Didn't Bill Bell Jr. and Maria Arena Bell create a show called "Coming of Age" but for whatever reason CBS passed on it.

Empire returned on Tuesday. 9 episodes left until the series finale.

CBS ending Hawaii Five-0 in April after 10 seasons.

Getting it ready for Monday.

Heads up, March Madness break is Thursday March 19 and Friday March 20 (Wednesday March 18 and Thursday March 19 for Canadians).

The Bold and The Beautiful ...Rags

Wasn't B&B's original setting supposed to be a newspaper in Chicago, hence the title Rags?

I have the February 16, 1998 episode as pre-empted! Thanks for filling in those blanks for '92 and '94. What about '96? The only Monday I have left that could possibly be pre-empted is Monday February 26, 1996. Do you happen to know if that matches up with the Olympics? 

Do you know when CBS Sports coverage of the Olympics began? I have Monday February 19, 1990 pre-empted as well. In 1988 I have no info on any of the February Mondays. In 1986, however, all of the February Mondays seem to have aired for ATWT.

The Olympics I remember CBS broadcasting were Albertville 1992, Lillehammer 1994, Nagano 1998. 1992 was the last year Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics were held in the same year, therefore no Winter Olympics in 1996.

Monday February 20, 1989 and Monday February 19, 1990 were NBA Basketball afternoon games; those two dates were President's Day. CBS Sports coverage of NBA Basketball was 1973-1990. Two other NBA dates for your list: Monday May 27, 1985 and Monday May 26, 1986 were NBA Finals afternoon games; those two dates were Memorial Day.

February 21, 1994: Reason unknown, but announced in the preceding episode

I think this might be CBS Sports coverage of the Lillehammer Olympics.

February 17, 1992: Reason unknown, but announced by Dan Region in the preceding episode

I think this might be CBS Sports coverage of the Albertville Olympics.

CBS Sports' last Olympics was Nagano in 1998. If CBS did pre-empt the weekday daytime schedule for coverage of the Nagano Olympics, the most likely date would be Monday February 16, 1998, which was also President's Day.

RIP Lee Bell and thank you for your contributions to daytime television.

Just watched today's episode. Loved the flashbacks, esp. from the 1980s. One of the best episodes in a long time.

Can't believe they showed the clip that lead up to Victor and Jill's brief relationship (and for years the speculation that it resulted in Jill becoming pregnant w/ Billy, which thankfully did not happen). Jess Walton was rocking that big ass hair in the early 1990s 

I would've liked to have seen clips from Eric's first episode, which I don't believe has surfaced anywhere online. I think Victor and Katherine's first meeting was shown once, maybe during Jeanne Cooper's tribute episode?

Did anyone else notice a bit of a resemblance between Matt and Adam? That Miller/Newman DNA is strong haha.

Soap Opera Digest didn't put the Newman gala on their cover story this week. I'm not impressed 

OTOH, CBS Soaps in Depth gave their cover story to the Newman gala 

I can't wait for the Newman gala episodes next week. Here's hoping for lots of 1980s flashbacks.

On Friday February 8, 1980, Victor Newman arrived in Genoa City.

Happy 40th anniversary Eric Braeden

SOD didn't have Eric's anniversary on their cover this week. Maybe next week's cover story will be the Newman gala/Eric's anniversary. BTW, why aren't Victor and Nikki on the cover as part of the greatest soap couples of all time feature 

40 years ago today (Feb. 4), CBS aired the first 1 hour episode of Y&R.

Today (February 3) marks one year since Kristoff St. John passed away. RIP.

Well, I did pick the pictures for the thread with EB's biggest fan in mind so  

 

Can't wait to hear your thoughts when his episode airs. 

Aww, thanks 

EB is scheduled to be on The Talk on Friday February 7.

I knew you would be on it.

I'm probably the biggest EB fan on this board 

EB's 40th anniversary gets the CBS SID cover story. I'm guessing SOD will cover his 40th anniversary next week.

If it were up to me, EB's anniversary episode on Monday February 10 would be full of 1980s flashbacks.

I wonder if any past characters will be returning for the Newman Gala.

Looks like the Newman Enterprises 50th anniversary celebration is going to lead up to a Victor-focused episode for Eric Braeden's 40th anniversary. Hopefully there's lots of 1980s flashbacks during Eric's anniversary episode.

KIRO, the CBS station in Seattle, aired TPIR at 10 and Y&R at 11 a.m., followed by news and the rest of the soaps. KVOS, the CBS station in Bellingham, aired Y&R at 10 a.m., followed by Dick Van Dyke reruns, SFT at 11:30, Donahue at 12, John Davidson at 1 and the Alice/Jeffersons rerun block at 2.

So it looks like CBS Seattle aired Search for Tomorrow. I wonder if CBS Seattle aired Capitol or if their noon news became one hour after CBS ended Search for Tomorrow. I know B&B didn't air in Seattle until 1994 so it's possible their CBS station had a 1 hour noon news from 1982-1994.

Interesting that your Western Washington listings also included nearby Canadian cities and their network affiliates. No Y&R on the Vancouver stations back then. I know Another World was huge in Canada for a long time (the cancellation was even covered on CTV's national news) but I'm guessing Y&R overtook it in popularity sometime in the 1990s. I'm curious to know if viewers in Buffalo/Niagara Falls could pick up Global Toronto and watch the day-ahead Y&R.

I've gotten through all of 1993 and I'm planning to watch 1994 until Nancy Curlee leaves the writing team. I know Alan returned in summer 1994, and Annie Dutton arrived in fall/winter 1994, but are any of the post-Curlee 1994 storylines worth watching?
