ALL: Characters' residences
I think that was at Maggie's house. Doug and Julie lived above Doug's Place/Doug's Place on the Lake,right? Julie had an apartment that we see in the clip when they first kissed. Was this where she lived when married to Scott? Also she had an apartment after she and Doug split when he married Lee. Can we have a complete rundown of Julie William's homes over the years?

ALL: Fake Funerals
Days I know Mickey had one when he was presumed dead (actually held captive by Stefano) in 82, leading to the awful Don/Maggie relationship. It was pretty low key b/c we knew he was alive. They even had Maggie or Alice say they were going to talk to Bill who apparently was there but off camera. OLTL Did Asa have a fake funeral at one point?

ALL: Characters' residences
Let's discuss who has lived where. Who has lived in the most different homes, who has stayed put over the years, which homes have been lived in by multiple characters and who has missed out on a roof over their heads? And which homes/apartments have been your favorites? Y&R Jack Abbott has pretty much lived at the Abbott home since we first met him in 1980. I guess he was living there at that time but apart from a bedroom/hallway, we didn't see that house until 82. He lived above Gina's for several months (can't recall why exactly-was it after the truth came out about his ONS with Jill?) and spent a few years living with Nikki at the ranch. Jill lived at the Foster home, then Chancellor estate for a while, the Brooks home when she wed Stuart, the Abbott home, her hotel suite after her first divorce from John, back at the Abbotts and from then on the Chancellor estate, where she still stays when visiting. Did I miss anywhere? Did she live with Keith Dennison at his house?

DAYS: R.I.P. Drake Hogestyn (John Black, Days of our Lives)
Marlena's Apartment (9/29/76-6/29/77) Marlena's Gate House (7/5/77-3/5/79) Wonder why they moved Marlena to a new apartment after 6 months on the show? Did Don have a residence before marrying Marlena? He had been on the show for years by that stage, but maybe he was always at the office, Doug's place or visiting other people's homes?

Thanks for the responses. @BoldRestless @Liberty City @lucaslesann23 Wonder who the 'historian' is? HATE that Clair retcon btw. Maybe the historian should refuse to talk to Josh. If he wanted to use history why not Mari Jo? Victoria did not need another child. She ignores the ones she has.

As I posted before, if there had have been shrubs or a higher wall with cutouts, the graveyard background wouldn't have been so obvious. Re the ranch, really typical Victor controlling behavior under the guise of romantic gesture. Nikki has no say in the design or furnishings, even though that would bring her great pleasure surely. Instead Victor just presents it and she's supposed to be grateful. Just like when guys choose a wedding ring that women are supposed to wear for the rest of their married life. Did they explain how months of construction could go on with Nikki unaware? Maybe it all happened when she was drunk.

That video was great. Love BTS stuff. Wish they would go into more detail about the decisions made re the set eg why the entrance was switched etc. As for the Fri episode, I wonder who is behind it. I don't believe Josh has the knowledge to choose specific flashbacks,so who are the go to people that can identify those moments?

Glad to see new energy and enthusiasm at Y&R. Hope she's been told this is a soap about real people in Wisconsin. I am not up for Sex and the City fashion fantasies.

If there had have been some studio trees/bushes and a larger wall in front of it, it would have looked better.

BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos
There is, but a CBS daytime soap is probably not on them. All this talk of politics brings to mind Capitol,which was a soap specifically set in the world of politics, which managed over 5 years not to include any hot button political issues. I know it was a different time, but I can't see BTG bothering to address contentious issues.It's a no win for them if they do. And when the first dismissals occur, for whatever reason, they'll be given 30 min to clear out their dressing room. Just facts...

Unfortunately, all the production tricks in the world can't hide that the stories are rotten. As for Sharon's downfall, she'll have a couple of weeks away and come back with everyone barely acknowledging anything happened. When Phyllis can parade around as though she hasn't down worse...

Without Stephanie Williams recreating the role , was there any reason to make this role Amy? Will she'll be reconnecting with Traci or Lauren, the only two characters still around from her time on the show? I doubt it. She could have just been a woman who had a brief relationship with Nathan at some point w/o the (so far)pointless return of Amy.

Grrr...Traci enters Crimson Lights and walks through an empty space to meet Alan in the back area. Why not just have her come into that space and not show the lack of customers?

When she first arrived in GC Sally and Jack were seeing each other, but Jack was hesitant in going further. Phyllis and Summer were against the relationship and plotted against her. Jack found out some truths about Sally and broke off with her.

A big shock at the wedding? We'll see... So great to see Jess/Jill. She seems stoked to be there. Hopefully more Jill to come. And everyone looked good. Costuming is already improving. Ed Scott is credited on Monday. Watched the Global episode. Everyone was appropriately dressed for the season. Not a one shoulder or backless dress to be seen. Although Sharon is wearing a fugly mini dress. We saw CL, GCAC and Society of course but the director kept the shots tight so we didn't see the empty tables and used the extras in the shot to give an impression that it was busy. And there was a bedroom set! No to Billy/Sally. Wish Josh would stop the musical couples. Sally has now been with Jack, Adam,Nick and Billy. Billy with Victoria, Chelsea, Lily and now Sally. It's like Josh just picks names out of a hat, writes these couples as truly in love then breaks them up and moves on.

Joan Crawford
Architectural Digest says Joan was known for The Women, Baby Jane and...Humoresque. Really AD? Such sloppy journalism. It should have been Mildred Pierce but someone got their wires crossed.
