In a way Bill Bell did, with the intros of the Barber sisters and Winters brothers, and the SORASing of Victoria and Nick.

Broke as in budget mode?

Anti-heroine.

Bill Bell wrote Brooke as a Jill/Lorie hybrid. Bradley turned her into the Forrester family mattress.

Thanks @YRfan23

Y&R has had a hollow empty feeling for a while now. In all honesty, the last episodes I really remember enjoying were the 12000th episode and EB's 40th anniversary episode. Who has the next big anniversary? I think it was November or December 1991 that CLB arrived as Michael, but he was gone for four years after his initial storyline so not really an anniversary.

Sharon has been written badly since 2009. Becoming involved with three sets of brothers and the father of one of the sets, and having a three way who's the daddy were the low points.

@j swift 1984 Los Angeles daytime dramas: Y&R, Capitol, General Hospital, Days, Santa Barbara.

Yes 😀

The shade 🤣

Y&R hasn't been the same since they killed off John Abbott. It felt like the end of an era.

@SteelCity Yes, it's been posted here before that Bill Bell offered Stephanie to Jaime Lyn Bauer.

Has DD been officially let go?

All those big miniseries based on best selling novels. Finding those miniseries on YouTube are such treats for me.

@Bright Eyes You got to live the entire 1990s with us

@soapfan770 I chalk up PB's 1991 and 1992 Emmy wins to weak competition in the Lead Actor category. I was not riveted by his Emmy winning episode that was rebroadcast during the classics and the clips shown during the Emmy broadcasts those years. It was posted here before that EB would not submit his name for Emmy consideration. He also didn't mention much about the Emmys in his book and I don't recall EB commenting in the soap press about the years he lost (1987, 1990, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2004).

Big hair! All that hairspray probably caused the hole in the ozone layer.

Agree.

Days going the sci-fi route in the aftermath of OJ almost resulted in them beating Y&R in the summer of 1997. Also Y&R went off the rails a bit in the aftermath of OJ so they were vulnerable.

1980s music to me will forever be defined by four artists: Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson. 1990s music to me was the R&B/Hip Hop decade, from New Jack Swing to West Coast Gangsta Rap to East Coast Rap. 1998 was probably the last good year for music. It's been downhill since then.

Yes it was. Then we became teens in the 1990s.

Yeah, it looked like they were ready to kill each other. I'd say their beef went back to 1989, the tension between them was visible from the onset, and I felt it was there until maybe 2005 or so. EB didn't really delve into details of the beef in his book, but he seemed regretful of it.

More garbage time, yuck.
