YRBB

Thanks, Soapsuds. Ugh, about 6 mins missing. I wonder -- is there anyone here who could go into the trouble of editing the missing scenes into this HD version? It'd be the best of both worlds!

Day behind?! It just got worse!

Wow. That feels unnatural!

LMAO. Y&R on at anything other than the half hour feels so weird to me lol

Pre-empted in NJ for Cuomo's press conference. I was going to wait to watch the episode b/c I'm on September 1991, but wanted to catch a glimpse of HD Y&R. A shame for those tuning in. Hopefully someone will upload just like last episode.

Why is this so true??? 😂😂😂

I see what you mean! And you are right - it's what Aback called the 'winning Y&R formula': There's usually a psycho on the show... sometimes two at the same time! It's to the show's immense credit that it doesn't necessarily feel like it was done too much. I think it's something that fitted the show's dark, gothic elements well and also provided a lot of "action" in a decidedly slow-paced show.

OF COURSE you should halt funding to the World Health Organization during a pandemic. This evil man will kill us all.

That's exactly it. It was far more than just a quota! And, yes, her descent into madness took well over a year and was exacerbated by her getting close with Matt Clarke.

Are you saying it's a problem that Tricia became psychotic? Because she was uber boring before that and super interesting after it.... Why was it insulting? She was psychotic and therefore committed psychotic acts. I'd understand if she was portrayed as sane....

I'm still resisting TikTok but this is quite fun. Just how did they do the voices?!

OMG! That was a wonderful treat. Yet another reminder of the power of Y&R's classic music and it's awful, heartbreaking absence from today's shows. God how I wish they'd release all these cues.

Sigh. What a treat to watch the real Y&R back on screen. A few minutes missing, of course, but what can you expect? The most bizarre edit was when they played the credits before the first Jill/Rex scene (which was obviously the lead into the credits) but then combined it with the Jill/Rex scene right after the credits. Like, why? Someone help me understand! That's not just cutting for time, that's re-editing the actual content! I was hoping they wouldn't remove whole scenes once I saw they just cut one of the Brad/Ashley ones short. That might be the way to go: Show all the scenes but trim some of them here and there and therefore nothing gets left out. St. John was so beautiful and sexy. Once Shemar came on the show, he always took second place and we didn't often enjoy that body. Always great to see Rowell. She will always be missed. Episodes like these subtly show Braeden's range as an actor. You just do not see this kind of emotion from him anymore. Funny how so far, CBS has rerun two episodes about Eve Howard. John finding out about Jill's pregnancy is classic soap drama. If this episode is put on YouTube (esp. in good quality) please someone let us know!

Honestly, it would never happen, but I'd be fine if they picked a starting point in the 80s or 90s and just played episodes in order. 20, 30, 40, however many it ended up being. The only way to really experience Y&R and delve into it due to its measured, long-term storytelling.

Holly hell! Faves from last week!

Even when soaps are at their lowest, they are still capable of finding a way to provide comfort during hard times like these.

Always nice to see that classic but surely there were other good options that haven't been re-run (relatively) recently. Like, about 7000 of them....

LMAO! Madonna still inciting controversy, I see!

Yes, INDEED. Except those silly hats 😂😂

That's great. Hopefully they'll work their way back even more when done with Season 18!

Heard back from the website. They're working on it; I think it was cute how they used medical terminology. Hopefully it'll be up and running soon.

Wonderful!

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!

I'm having the same issue. Clearly some kinks to work through yet.
