Still no word if there is going to be a special episode for Jess Walton's 35th anniversary. If there isn't then maybe during the 50th anniversary week there might be something Jill-focused, since Jill is the only original character left.

@cassadine1991 Based on the episode number sometime in 1993. It lines up with my theory that the Belief storyline was Bill Bell's last hurrah for B&B before he passed the reigns to Bradley.

Let's remember too that it took until 2009 for a Black woman to even be nominated for Lead Actress.

2022 is the first year since 2016 where all the main acting categories have first-time winners.

Yeah, odd that Jerry Douglas wasn't mentioned. The In Memoriam segment at tonight's Daytime Emmys is really going to hit hard.

The Daytime Emmys lost their pop culture relevance once Susan Lucci's streak was over. Remember that her win was the only time that a Daytime Emmy win got a People cover story.

July 8 will be 30 years since Melrose Place premiered. I feel the same way about Melrose Place as I do about Beverly Hills 90210, no nostalgia for it and no longing to rewatch it. The first three seasons of Melrose Place were the best. I lost interest during the 4th season and never went back to it.

@soapfan770 I don't remember the "Get it On" promos causing a stir. For whatever reason I don't find the promos from mid-1990s onward memorable in the way that "Feel the Heat" (1985) to "Try Me" (1992) were.

Texas oil millionaire Blake Hayes was a 1980s holdover in 1991.

ED and BM anniversary episode has me thinking about the intros of the Abbott sisters. Bill Bell didn't have them as heroine/vixen rivals in the vein of Leslie/Lorie or as educated professional/troublemaker in the vein of Casey/Nikki. Ashley initially came across as the confident goal-oriented sister while Traci was the shy insecure sister and both were likeable characters.

Jess Walton's 35th anniversary is this month but I haven't seen anything online that mentions her getting a special episode.

The full tracks of the best CBS summer promos for a refresher. 1985 1986 1987

Imani is so thirsty for Nate.

@ironlion Nikki the OG ho turned housewife is the last person that should be throwing accusations of gold digging. Christine has a successful career in her own right, she's not looking for a come up.

Jenifer Lewis was so fierce in that opening.

It's so odd that during 1987/88 CBS was killing it in daytime (Y&R tied General Hospital for #1) but was tanking in primetime (first of four consecutive 3rd place finishes).

What about these promos? I tried to find summer 1987 promos that featured "Addicted to Love" but no luck.

@Taoboi Were you loving it when thirsty Imani was shooting her shot at Nate?

I just remembered that B&B reached a milestone in daytime drama history earlier this month. On Monday May 16, 2022, B&B moved past Another World to become the 9th longest running daytime drama on US network television. As of today, the 10 longest running daytime dramas on US network television are General Hospital, Guiding Light, Days, As the World Turns, Y&R, One Life to Live, All My Children, Search for Tomorrow (both CBS and NBC runs), B&B, Another World.

Imani is so thirsty for Nate. She was totally shooting her shot at him. Which hookup will happen first, Ashland/Diane or Nate/Imani?

Ashland and Diane are so gonna hook up, just watch.

@Faulkner Diane deserved to be on the receiving end of a bitch slap though.

That was the case even in the 1980s. Back then we didn't know exactly what Chancellor Industries, Prentiss Industries, and Newman Enterprises did.

1984 Y&R transition from the Brooks/Foster era to the Abbott/Newman era was complete and Y&R became Y&R as we know it today. 1992 for B&B due to the Y&R crossovers.
