Remembering CBS Daytime summer promo themes.

I remember those Danny summer concerts in the 1980s and 1990s. They were so cringe.

Same. Then the next summer it was

Miley's second #1. First was Wrecking Ball in 2013.

The 1980s, what a time to have been alive.

Or a nose job.

Shemar Moore and Jesiree Dizon Welcome First Child Together | Entertainment Tonight (etonline.com) Shemar Moore on Instagram: “FRANKIE MOORE!!!! BABY GIRL in da building!!! Born January 24… at 3:38pm…. 7.1 Pounds… 20 inches…. 10 fingers n 10 toes… Already THE LOVE…”

@sheilaforever @Broderick I wonder if Bill Bell casting James Storm at B&B was a make good for the ending at Y&R.

@janea4old JoAnna first episode was December 7, 1984. That scene could be from 1985. I originally thought Neil Fenmore stopped appearing in 1986 and died off screen in 1987 but from the full episodes/clips Neil Fenmore last appearance was sometime in 1985 with the end of the engagement to Gina. Did he get an exit story before his off screen death or did he just stop appearing?

@divinemotion Who would've thought that Sally would be Stephanie's protector/defender during the poisoning storyline. There is a great scene during that storyline where Sally confronts Sheila and Sally is terrifying in that scene (shades of DC's Y&R character Rose Deville).

@dragonflies Sheila has been played out since 1998. Since then, she's been Bradley's "break glass in case of emergency" character.

@TaoboiNick does not need any more kids. His biological kids Noah, Summer, Faith are grown and we hardly see his adopted son Christian.

@Darn I'd say almost all of the Y&R female cast past age 50 have had some work done.

Kay Alden's son John was Nicholas when he was first SORASed (going from 2 to 6 in 1990). He stayed in the role until early 1994 when Nicholas was sent to Swiss boarding school and as we all know, that summer the frat party started.

I wouldn't say stringing along, it was a conflict between two very different types of love. Val's love for Gary was that of a young girl's first love which was supposed to last forever but it didn't. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life. I know Val/Gary were the end game, but I liked Val/Ben together.

Texas was a dollar store Dallas. Santa Barbara was a dollar store Dynasty. Sunset Beach was Aaron Spelling attempting to create a daytime Melrose Place when Melrose Place itself was tanking. Passions was NBC being indebted to Reilly for keeping NBC daytime lineup alive in the aftermath of OJ and that's why it got the Days lead out. Texas and Santa Barbara were head-to-head with General Hospital at the height of its popularity so they were pretty much DOA. Sunset Beach didn't even have an official timeslot.

@ltm1997 From what I recall, Jerry Douglas spoke of his dislike of BD in the soap press in the 1990s. Maybe somebody has the article/interview. Then again, who didn't have beef w/ BD?

@DeliaIrisFan NBC was a mess on the whole in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As we all know, NBC didn't recover in primetime until the start of The Cosby Show. Daytime remained mostly a mess. It's quite telling that NBC's longest-running soap block was Days nearly 15 year run as NBC's lone soap.

It's so funny that NBC dominated primetime for the better part of 20 years (start of The Cosby Show until the end of Friends) yet was mostly a mess in daytime in that same era despite supercouple Days, Santa Barbara Emmy and SOD awards run, and Reilly Days.

Can't wait to see the 1980s clips.

With the recent news that NCIS: Los Angeles is ending, I was thinking about three of CBS's biggest dramas (at least during my lifetime) and their spin offs/franchises. Dallas (14 seasons) spun off Knots Landing (14 seasons). CSI (15 seasons) franchise: CSI: Miami (10 seasons), CSI: NY (9 seasons), CSI: Cyber (2 seasons), CSI: Vegas (currently in its second season). NCIS (currently in its 20th season) franchise: NCIS: Los Angeles (ending this spring after 14 seasons), NCIS: New Orleans (7 seasons), NCIS: Hawaii (currently in its second season). The parent shows Dallas, CSI, NCIS all had three seasons as the #1 show. A fun fact, Knots Landing run and NCIS: Los Angeles run are separated by 30 years. The first episodes of Knots Landing (December 27, 1979) and NCIS: Los Angeles (September 22, 2009) are separated by 29 years 269 days (so almost 30 years) and the final episodes of Knots Landing (May 13, 1993) and NCIS: Los Angeles (May 21, 2023) will be separated by 30 years 8 days.

Jill, being all about the come up, kicked Andy to the curb when she saw the newspaper article that John Abbott had returned to Genoa City.

Monday March 27, 2023, Y&R 50th anniversary celebrated on a special episode of The Talk. If EB and Shemar are on that episode, we'd see Sheryl Underwood all squealing fangirl at a level that we've never seen before 🤣

Y&R Katherine and Nikki were absent from each other's lives from 1990-1992. This overlapped w/ Nikki's substance abuse and Katherine's cancer scare. I think the lack of Katherine/Nikki interaction was due to MTS having beef w/ JC at the time.
