I think it did air on June 28, 1991!  

Do you know what the number of the episode/date is for the episode listed there as 295? Those aren't the actual episode numbers, are they?

Sad Y&R news (I don't recall hearing about this and I don't think it was posted here):

Jay Bontatibus, Tony Viscardi #2 on the show, passed away about a year ago, aged 52, from cancer. The article (and many other places) incorrectly list him as having joined Y&R in 1998. 

What a shame.

Justin has released his duet with Chris Stapleton, which is better than the last single by a wide margin (even if the chorus is a bit repetitive):

 

Definitely repetitive but not a bad song and certainly an interesting/impressive video.

OK, this was pretty adorable, both song and video.

I'm still not sure what he's trying to do with all of this, though.

Why am I watching a documentary called Man-Eating Python when I am afraid of snakes?

An unexpected video for Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?). New vocals, some added stuff, and a beautiful video too.

@YRBB YAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! LOVE.

 

 

OMGGGGGG!!! That was great. I never knew I wanted to see country Kylie lmao. Some really cool 'diva' outfits too and some nicely shot moments.

By Julian Fellowes, the man behind Downton Abbey, a period drama set in 1882 New York City. It sounds really good and like pure soap. Scared that it's on NBC but we'll see.

(I know the Lauren buried alive stuff was a big one for 1985).

That didn't happen until March 1986.

 In the 90's when Spelling came out with Sunset Beach he said he wanted it be like a Bell soap.

That was either a really bold-faced lie (likely), or he failed miserably!

I just heard about Ross' story. I'm... not quite sure what to say.

It was that era - along with the admitted ratings juggernaut of Marlena's possession, IMO, that started Days' long spiral into campy laughingstock.

I've said this before and I'll say it again -- JER got away with the most audacious storyline he could possibly come up with AND he got higher ratings for it! After that, I'm sure he knew he could get away with basically anything, evidenced by DAYS, PASSIONS, and then DAYS again. What was there to stop him?

I think Bell's influence on his work was clear and he retained a lot of what seemed to make Y&R successful, which also happened to be classic soap traits. He knew how to build tension and hold interest and I do think he was pretty good at plotting. I also don't agree he didn't have any heart (there have been plenty of moments in my viewing so far but I suppose they get overshadowed by the flashy stuff) but I do think he lost a lot of it overtime.

I adore Leanna in her room, always reading letters and working, and found the uniqueness, inventiveness, and often hilariousness of her scenes, to be true standouts, with a great actress at the center of it. It feels like something only Y&R could pull -who else would dare do something like this?

My apologies. They are doubling down on me at my work places which is making me give massive pushback since I have other things in mind for the New Year in my life so it's taking me a while to adjust to both schedules as well as finding a way to maintain my life schedule and not lose it. lol.

 

First listen...meh. lol.

 

Second listen...it sounded like Kylie was following everyone else instead of doing her own thing like always. My co-worker is not liking the new JT stuff at all so I was worried maybe this was the same situation.

 

 

 

Shouldn't have worried. Listen 3 I loved it. And continue to look forward to more. Just worried that I'll have to import it. 

Good luck with the work/life situation!

Glad you like it. I think it's very, very charming, and it sticks to you. I still miss disco/club Kylie, though, so I hope it hasn't been completely removed from the album.

I, too, wonder if the album will be released in the US. Barnes & Noble should have it anyway and I'm sure Amazon can deliver it. With it being a little more country, maybe it will.

I can't wait for it!

The reboot has been rebooted! 

Initially envisioned as a prequel set in 1976 (a terrible idea, IMO), now it's a re-do! The storyline screams out 'feminism!' 'feminism'!

And then Holly Marie Combs comes out dissing the new show and throwing shade.

Disaster, but hilarious!

Is he about to pull a Beyonce and Fergie and release videos for every song on his cd?

I wouldn't put it past JT, though. 

It doesn't seem like it. He announced before the first single dropped than 4 songs and videos would be released building up to the album release date. 

Might as well, cos I'm having difficulty imagining this album not flopping.

@DRW50 Thanks! This is great.

The episodes that weren't playing for me worked after I disabled AdBlock

And for this sunny TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2018....

@Taoboi Thoughts on the first single???

It's MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 2018.... Have a great week, lovelies!

I'd never seen past Jack's coming out episode ("To Be or Not To Be") so I slowly worked my way through rewatching Seasons 1 and 2 and now I'm finally on new episodes (with the occasional seen episode from the latter seasons).

The show has its... peculiarities, but Jack's coming out made me cry years ago and it made me cry again. Wonderfully handled, complex human reactions from the cast, and Pacey's involvement and protecting Jack always makes me an emotional mess.

Andie and Jack, of course, are marvelous and a fantastic addition to the cast. I cannot understand how the show existed without them. With Jack's coming out, the character chemistry took off with the rest. It is magical to see.

And I can't believe they killed Abby! What a shocker that was.

You are all correct... This SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 2018, they must keep coming!

First teaser trailer! The show debuts in June. Could be good.

The cover! Album will be out April 06! Single out tonight midnight GMT which should be... 7pm ET!!

Same. I saw her with the boots this morning first thing and was just like 'yes, my diva, yes!!!' I can't wait until Frida.

 

Sounds like she is going to be experimenting with her sound a bit.

Yeah, I think we're in for some different sounds, but I'm sure she's remained as Kylie as ever LOL

FIRST SINGLE "DANCING" OUT FRIDAY!!

If that's backstage from the album cover, it looks fabulous!

and here's the track list!
