@ltm1997 Whomever finds and posts episodes from the 1982-1987 era should be knighted by the Queen 

@Nothin'ButAttitude Did you see Jocelyn Seagrave on that 1997 Aaron Spelling Fox show Pacific Palisades? That was the only post-GL role of hers I can recall offhand.

Another surprise for you all! thanks again to the wonderful @ltm1997 here's another 1985 episode! (I sort of speculated the airdate based on some summaries I looked over, so it may not be correct)

Thank you both

What a great episode! The eternal feud is slowly starting here.

Here's more "Un-Released  February 1992 episodes  (There's no Feb 17 or 21 92 because the shows were preempted those days)

Wow, you got the episode w/ Colleen's birth. Those February preemptions must have been for CBS sports coverage of the Albertville Olympics.

Empire's been back for two weeks. Anyone still watching?

Victor and Jack initially got in each other's orbit due to Victor taking over Mergeron Enterprises from Dina. I think the feud really began when Victor got involved with Ashley, leading to Jack becoming involved with Nikki. "Ruthless" and the Jabot takeover came afterwards. I'm going by what I've pierced together from recaps and clips over the years.

Something I've always wondered was how Eric Braeden and Terry Lester got along with each other. Eric never really commented to the soap press after Terry passed away, and Eric also never mentioned Terry in his book.

People magazine reported at the time that when Lyman won, Susan pounded the table and stormed out of the ceremony. Only later would she get a sense of humor about it all and realize how all those losses made her so much richer and more famous.

From the People cover story of Susan Lucci's streak being over: "In 1982 she pounded her fist on a table when OLTL’s Robin Strasser took the best actress honors and reportedly cried a year later, after AMC castmate Dorothy Lyman garnered the gold."

@slick jones Thank you for this thread. What a great look back to daytime drama history

This John/Jill scene reminded me of the Nanny a little bit with all these "Miss Foster". Hmmm... A young beautician enters the life of a rich man raising two girls and a boy on his own.  

Haha, The Nanny, I haven't thought of that show for years. There were some Y&R/Nanny connections come to think of it: series stars Charles Shaughnessy (brother of Y&R producer David Shaughnessy) and Nicholle Tom (sister of Heather Tom and David Tom); Eric Braeden guest starred on one episode as a theater critic; Peter Bergman, Jeanne Cooper, Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow, and Melody Thomas Scott appeared as themselves on one episode. Perhaps Fran Drescher was a fan of Y&R.

@slick jones Please add to your list:

Darlene Conley

Terry Lester

Michael Zaslow

Firstly, thanks to @YRfan23 for the uploads and @ltm1997 for the episodes

I saw the segment and couldn't help but think that it's likely Sheryl wasn't watching GL in the 90s and had no idea Nia Long was on the show.  Someone should've done research.

Sheryl Underwood knew Taye Diggs was on GL so we knew she was watching in the late 1990s.

Nia Long was on The Talk today. Her segment was about 10 minutes and she talked about her new Netflix movie and her role on NCIS: Los Angeles. No mention of GL at all.

@YRfan23 @ltm1997 Can't wait to see the 1980 episodes. Thank you both :bighug

Has Nia Long ever really talked about her time on the show in any interviews after she left? I just stumbled upon her Uncensored episode on TV One, and she basically said GL was her first acting gig, and then jumped right into talking about her role in Boys n the Hood. 

 

It was so disappointing that she didn't even really talk about it. 

Nia Long will be on The Talk on Thursday, and I'm sure Sheryl Underwood will bring up her time on GL.

I knew GL was popular in Germany (with the main family being named Bauer, it's probably not a surprise), but didn't know how successful it was in other non-U.S. countries.

I've seen GL clips from Germany, Italy, and Iceland. There were some Italian dubbed episodes posted earlier in the thread.

I mentioned before that I didn't think P&G exported their shows globally the way Y&R/B&B were. I know As the World Turns aired in Netherlands, and Another World might have aired in Australia, but I don't know if P&G's other long running shows like Search for Tomorrow or The Edge of Night aired internationally.

I think she just vanished, and there was a mention. I remember being annoyed as I liked Sam. That was one of my first moments seeing what JFP would do to the show.

The episode I linked to earlier wasn't Samantha's last appearance. She's in this episode but it looks like her story is winding down.

And of course, my favorite, the 3 A.M. Theme! Or Nick & Grace's theme lol, but it was also used for Diego & Sharon, Sharon & Cameron, Ryan & Tricia, and Neil & Alex etc. I thought it was a late '90s and early '00s theme for affairs, but I have found it was used as early as 1994 for Jill & Jed!

Whenever that starting playing, you knew some sexy time was about to take place 

Anyone remember the Y&R soundtrack album from the mid 1990s?

Was this Suzy Cote's last episode? She would've been the first long time (as in 3 or more years) cast member to depart under JFP's watch if I'm not mistaken.

I remember Samantha Marler was gone after the Daniel St. John storyline ended. I'm thinking the character might have gotten a mention of leaving town to attend law school but not a full exit storyline.

Losing Darlene Conley was a bigger blow than I think anyone realized. Darlene's last year or two on the show weren't particularly memorable as she'd experienced some ill health and took time off, so there may have been a feeling that they'd transitioned out of the need for the Spectras and into the Marones (how wrong they were, Lesley Anne Down had nothing on Darlene). To me, Sally Spectra was what made B&B unique. No other character like her and she was a universe unto herself on the show. 

Many B&B viewers (myself included at one time) point to the crossovers as the turning point but it really was the arrival of Sally Spectra. Building a business and family around her breathed new life into a show that started out as pretty much a clone of 1970s Y&R.

David Tom looks better than he did when he returned to Y&R. He turns 40 next month. 

Some collector out there might have Eric Braeden's first episode. The original airdate we now know was Friday February 8, 1980.

wasn't Dina's Intro the same as Alexis's too with the dressed in black/veil!  

Yeah it was. I haven't seen the full episode, only a clip from a promo that was on YT.

I remember reading that Aaron Spelling was a huge fan of Bill Bell and his writing. That was one of the reasons he chose Y&R for his 1983 film Mr. Mom where Michael Keaton becomes addicted to watching it. In the 90's when Spelling came out with Sunset Beach he said he wanted it be like a Bell soap.

 

There was at one point rumors of a feud between the two. 

 

I remember there were rumors about Bill Bell and Aaron Spelling having beef in the late 1990s, around the time of the Hunter Tylo lawsuit. There was also actor swapping between Y&R/B&B and Spelling's shows of the time.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here yet, but Melina Kanakaredes is part of the cast of the new Fox medical drama, The Resident.
