Years ago there was a 1968 episode of Lee Bell's Chicago talk show online. She mentioned her two sons, 6 year old Billy and 4 year old Bradley, and that she was expecting a baby near Christmas. The baby as we all know was Lauralee. So in that picture Bill Jr. would be about 15 or 16, Bradley would be about 13 or 14, and Lauralee would be about 8 or 9.

Drake cements his record as the Canadian artist with most #1s on the Billboard Hot 100. Drake is also the 8th artist not from the United States to reach 7 #1s on the Billboard Hot 100. He and Phil Collins each have 7 #1s, and the artists not from the United States with 8 or more #1s are The Beatles (20), Rihanna (14), The Bee Gees (9), Elton John (9), The Rolling Stones (8), and George Michael (8).

Summer was born in 2006, so her real time age in 2020 would be 14. She went from toddler to elementary school aged around 2009, then to teenager around 2012.

1990s big SORAS were Victoria, Nick, Billy. Victoria and Nick age normally until 1990. Victoria goes from elementary school aged to high school aged. Nick is SORASed twice, from toddler to elementary school aged, then to high school aged. In real time Victoria and Nick are 6 years apart but the castings of Heather Tom and John Alden-Nelson made them about 8 years apart, and Joshua Morrow's casting made them 2 years apart even though Joshua Morrow is older than Heather Tom. Billy born in 1993 ages normally until 1998, then returns in 1999 as a teenager. So the real time ages of Victoria, Nick, and Billy in 2020 would be 38, 32, 27. Oddly enough Melissa Ordway and Mark Grossman are not that far off age-wise from Victoria and Nick's real time ages.

I'm actually more excited about the Friday classics than the current episodes 😂 Can't wait to see what's unearthed next week.

I think almost every Black soap actor in the 1990s got overshadowed by Shemar. What happened to the careers of Dondre T. Whitfield, Monti Sharp, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Kevin Mambo, Peter Parros, Jason George. None of them really had the same degree of daytime and post-daytime success as Shemar.

I think Drake is going to be the next artist to reach 10 #1s on the Billboard Hot 100, unless Bruno Mars or Katy Perry have monster hits, or Usher has a massive comeback.

OMG I just realized that Kim Zimmer was pregnant with Jake Weary when Reva was pregnant with Shayne. I was watching GL live when I could in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I feel really old now 🤣

This episode was part of the 20th anniversary week, March 22-26, 1993. The big events I remember from March 1993 were Neil and Dru's wedding at the Chancellor estate and Jill finding out she was pregnant with Billy.

I can't believe Maureen Garrett is almost 72 . With her being on the west coast, why hasn't one of the remaining shows tried to cast her? I would love to see Maureen playing a grande dame diva.

Count me in as another Maureen Garrett fan. I thought she was one of the most beautiful women on daytime in the 1990s.

I still miss Michael Zaslow. I'm so glad I got to watch his best work either live on online.

I still can't believe that James Reilly was a part of that great GL early 1990s writing team and then went on to usher in sci-fi era Days. Talk about contrasts.

Usher bringing back that 90s R&B sound.

When was this, and is it online? I miss Terry Lester even to this day. Besides Y&R and As The World Turns, I also watched him as a celebrity player on Dick Clark's $25000/$100000 Pyramid and he was really good at the game. It's unfortunate that he left Y&R under a not so ideal situation; part of me wished that he would somehow return to Y&R but it wasn't meant to be sadly.

I was looking at Billboard Hot 100 chart history and The Weeknd is the 41st artist to have 5 or more #1s on the chart. Those 41 are broken down to 17 male solo artists, 14 female solo artists, and 10 duos/groups. Male Solo Artists w/ 5 or More #1s 18: Elvis Presley 13: Michael Jackson 10: Stevie Wonder 9: Elton John, Usher 8: George Michael 7: Phil Collins, Bruno Mars, Drake 5: Lionel Richie, Prince, Diddy, Ludacris, Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd Female Solo Artists w/ 5 or More #1s 19: Mariah Carey 14: Rihanna 12: Madonna 11: Whitney Houston 10: Janet Jackson 9: Katy Perry 6: Diana Ross, Paula Abdul, Beyonce 5: Barbra Streisand, Olivia Newton-John, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift Duos/Groups w/ 5 or More #1s 20: The Beatles 12: The Supremes 9: The Bee Gees 8: The Rolling Stones 6: Wings, Hall & Oates 5: The Four Seasons, The Eagles, KC and the Sunshine Band, Boyz II Men Bubbling Under (4 #1s) Male Solo Artists: Bobby Vinton, John Denver, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Nelly, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I., Pharrell, Sean Paul, Post Malone Female Solo Artists: Donna Summer, Celine Dion, Cher, Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Pink, Adele, Lady Gaga Duos/Groups: The Jackson 5, The Temptations, Blondie, The Beach Boys, Bon Jovi, Roxette, TLC, Destiny's Child, Maroon 5

I agree. I think her handlers (mainly Clive Davis) did a really good job of hiding it.

There was a week in 2015 where between Drake, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and their fellow Canadians Shawn Mendes and Alessia Cara, they had 7 of the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10.

The Weeknd joins Drake and Justin Bieber in the group of Canadian artists that have had 5 or more #1s on the Billboard Hot 100. Besides these three, the Canadian artists w/ the most #1s on the Billboard Hot 100 are Bryan Adams (4), Celine Dion (4), and Nelly Furtado (3).

Is it legal to sell your VHS recordings of television programs on eBay? AFAIK CBS/Sony never released any VHS/DVD/BluRay episode compilations of Y&R.

Agree, 2006 onward are not classics.

So we have MTS to thank for PB getting hired.

From watching 1993 to March 1994 online, it was definitely the Buzz hour. In all honesty, it was quite a chore to get through the episodes from Maureen's death to Nancy Curlee's departure. JFP did bring the ratings up in 1991/1992, but I agree, all the momentum was lost after Beverlee McKinsey's departure. So the only good producer GL had in it's last 25 years was Robert Calhoun?

I think this was Nancy Curlee's last episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bklg0iXFHnU

I was thinking Rags as in the tabloid press. That title sounds way too cheesy Didn't Bill Bell Jr. and Maria Arena Bell create a show called "Coming of Age" but for whatever reason CBS passed on it.
