Y&R to air classic episodes
Lorie and Leslie had a couple of scenes and Janice Lynde was hardly given dialogue so Mal was only playing lip service to Y&R history.

Re Y&R I would love to see those scenes of Jill turning up at Kay's and pretending that nothing had happened. I can see Brenda and Jeanne turning it on. Was Brock not living at the Chancellor Estate at this time? I found the early Lance/Lorie scenes intolerable. Lance was such a bore and the whole back and forth game playing was supposed to be scintillating and sexy but was too drawn out.

Y&R: Old Articles
Re Vanessa and the veil. At one point it was stated that if Vanessa went ahead with surgery, it would involve years of skin grafts to restore her face and Vanessa wouldn't agree to it. Then later, I think KT was off for a few months and then Vanessa returned, still veiled. At some point she removed the veil and her face was back to normal and she revealed she'd had the surgery with no talk of any skin grafts and years of restoration. I wonder why Bill Bell decided to do this. Maybe the effect of Vanessa creeping around in the veil had lost its value . Perhaps Bill thought of giving Vanessa more story (a romance) and felt the veil would be a hindrance.

Soap Opera Cast Lists and Character Guides- Cancelled and Current
A disagreement between an orphaned brother and sister running their family, which includes two younger children, erupts into a serious fight--and a stabbing--that brings the older children to court. 19 year-old Maria Schiller has had most of the responsibility for keeping the family together since the death of her parents and she resents her brother's bossiness and assumed role as "head of the family." In this, the third of four parts, 17 year-old Matthew ultimately admits to caseworker John Collier (Abbott) that his efforts in business haven't been too successful. Matthew -Keir Dullea House on High Street from UCLA Archives.
