Joshua descent into madness and eventual death was the start of Knots Landing tanking to me.

Season 6 was Knots Landing best season. Everything culminates during the final 10 episodes of that season and those episodes to me were the peak of the series.

Apparently Pamela Long didn't realize there are cultural differences between the southeast and southwest and midwest regions.

As the World Turns HWs when Robert Calhoun was EP. October-November 1984: Tom King and Millee Taggart November 1984-February 1985: Cynthia Benjamin and Susan Bedsow Horgan February-September 1985: Susan Bedsow Horgan September 1985-October 1988: Douglas Marland

Yes it was 🥰 Andre/Dani are the highlight of the show to me. Bring it!

BtG letting us all know that it's not grandma's stories from 1985

Yay! Thanks again for all you do @ChickenNuggetz92

Anthony Hererra debut was February 1, 1980 and his original run ended May 1983. His return run was November 1986 until October 1989. There was another return in 1997 and he was off and on until the last episode. If any of the dates are wrong please correct.

Douglas Marland became HW September 1985.

Y&R is 90% hot garbage. Josh Griffith needs to go.

@ranger1rg @Antoyne @ReddFoxx I meant in the sense of filling the role that Shemar occupied on Y&R. We know Y&R has tried to hard to fill the void Shemar left but they haven't been successful.

Fake ass Shemar alert.

Do not give the BtG writers or Bradley any ideas 🤮

@Soapsuds September 22-28, 1986. The week Dallas fans found out it was all a dream.

I really admire those here that stuck it out through the final four seasons. For me they were a chore to get through and Paige practically eating the show during the final four seasons didn't help matters either.

OMG he looks and sounds so much like his dad.

LOL Silk Press Sheila and Hayley described as homewrecking thots. We know Dani was about to snatch the wig off Silk Press Sheila if Anita hadn't called.

I've often wondered about Y&R popularity in English-speaking Caribbean countries, ie. Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados.

There are some photos from his birthday on BtG social media.

@P.J. 1989 had the pivotal events of Roger return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP. Those events would lead to GL finally hitting its stride after some pretty bad years. 1989-1991 Calhoun/Long/Curlee was GL's last golden era but unfortunately the ratings didn't reflect the quality of the show.

That interview is on page 240 of this thread. In part 2 Constance McCashin talks about Ted Shackelford.

BtG could go the Neil/Dru/Malcolm route with Jacob/Naomi/Izaiah. I'm thinking Izaiah and Kat though, Kat being a bougie princess and Izaiah being a bad boy.

Yes I did. Do you know how many fake ass Shemar's have come through Y&R over the years? That's where I got the detecting from

I've pointed out before that Falcon Crest had the ingredients to be a great show but the execution squandered the potential and I think network interference and backstage drama played a big part in that. The regime changes pretty much line up with the trajectory of the series. Season 1: Wealthy Waltons in modern day California wine country. Good start that builds the foundation. Season 2 and 3: Dallas with grapes/James Bond hybrid. Peak. Seasons 4 and 5: Dallas with grapes/James Bond hybrid in season 4 and starts tanking during the final 10 episodes. Dallas with grapes/Miami Vice hybrid in season 5 and tanking fully cemented. Seasons 6 and 7: High octane action-packed thrill ride. Season 6 still tanking. Season 7 starts going off the rails. Season 7 feels like the natural end point. Season 8: Off the rails plus budget mode. Not necessary and chore to get through. Season 9: Off the rails plus budget mode. Not necessary and painful to get through.
