Y&R: Old Articles
I remember when Deborah returned. I had always loved her take on Jill and here she was in the middle of the divorce interpreting the script as the Jill she knew, so we went from BD's Norma Desmond to DA's more grounded performance. My recollection is of her in Jill's hotel suite set wearing pants and a blouse, way more subdued than Brenda's costumes.

Re Kristine DeBell She had an earlier role on Y&R as a runaway. I believe this was either Sharon or Julie in the Rose DeVille story of 79. Dawn Jeffory played the other runaway

Y&R to air classic episodes
Ryan had about 10 years on the show right? Been married a few times, no family so time to write him off to clear space for new characters. Pity that at some point it was decided to keep way too many actors/characters. That's why I supported Brad going. Michael/Kevin/Chelsea/Phyllis etc should be gone to allow core characters new people to interact with rather than going around in circles.

Y&R to air classic episodes
Brock/Beau should have been given an on air tribute and died offscreen. The 45th anniversary episode should have dealt with Brock's death. He was Mac's father, had relationships (romantic and otherwise) with Lorie, Leslie, Julia, Esther, Jill etc all of whom were apart of that anniversary week. Plenty of opportunities for flashbacks to a character who was part of the show for many years.

So apart from the clothes and big ass phones, did y'all think the 93 ep was dated in any way? Could it have played today as a current ep?

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread
Carl Low (Dr Bob Rogers from the mid 60's and till the end of the 70's) lamented to SOD in 1980 that he wished SFT would write him out rather than use him occasionally as he wanted to land another soap gig but felt he was too identified with his Search role.
