Great point! (Oh and for some reason I've never been a fan of Bibel's... 😕 ) I was not aware of Alec Baldwin's podcast with PB, I'll check it out. -

You nailed the description. What I noticed in the John/Jill/Jack/Kay storyline is that BD was having a blast. She could not help but smile the whole time and it worked really well because it looked like Jill was unfazed at Kay's threats or Jack's warnings. She really played the character as if Jill could not care less, except when it came to Phillip - she showed her more vulnerable side every time Phillip was mentioned. Even the fact that BD's portrayal became more icy and unchecked over time I think it worked with the character's evolution, she HAD to grow colder and harder with the things that happened to her.

I just think that was the first story where a woman accused a man of rape/harassment in a decade. It was insulting because it was a false accusation (many women still get the message they shouldn't report because they won't be believed) and it came right after the sperm saga, which I loved but I could see why it was considered a misogynistic story.

Hope this means that zoomers will start to understand me every time I make a Perry Mason reference!

I've been strangely addicted to those videos! Even though I know what happens, the way they're paced, the beats of the story, the music and the acting have me on the edge of my seat! I'm hoping the clips don't get taken down... Please, let TPTB have mercy of us in these trying times! You can tell immediately there's a difference in JW's portrayal of Jill, even though she was following in BD's footsteps at the time. I cannot put my finger on it though! It drives me crazy. What was about BD's performance that made her so unique? I think BD's Jill came across as she really couldn't give a f*ck. Except for those rare instances when she did, that BD never ever missed. JW's Jill comes across as if she's trying too hard.

I see what you mean - her raping Victor and accusing him of rape was especially insulting to women - but I think psychos are part of the winning Y&R formula, also right before her we did have Matt Clark who could balance her out.

I'm there with you cause I stopped watching the show around 2005! What I regret the most is not watching the show when it was written by Jean Passanante and Shelley Altman! Are you familiar with them?

Does anyone know what episode that is? I love Sabryn Genet 🥰😭

I would have been happy to buy the Y&R soundtrack rights! (well, I wouldn't have had the money, but still...)

Besides, they do use old music cues on the current show every now and then...

Yess!! I agree on all counts. And it's high time those episodes resurfaced somehow. Here's the first actor playing David Kimble. In hindsight, I notice there was a trend with Bill Bell and his writing style where he would introduce a character he had plans for, first played by a very bland, forgettable actor and then recast the part when the time came to focus on that character.

You're just so amazing at keeping track of the dates, we are lucky to have you! And what a smart assumption with the date they bought the tape. That must be the case!

I don't see where the misconceptions are. What you're saying matches what I've heard over and over. Sweden has implemented soft containment measures. Which is kind of questionable to me, but I guess we'll wait and see. Uhm I don't think it's a matter of seeing which method works best. The question is: can your country's health system face a potential peak? If it can, more power to you. Most countries were not equipped for a peak and had to famously flatten the curve by applying a lockdown. Also: they did not want to risk people's lives, which is something some people keep forgetting. We don't need to wait to know that. China and South Korea are living that "not so distant future" already. They've radically changed their way of living. They've placed glasses between tables at restaurants, they've placed stickers on the ground to tell people where to stand, they've filled their cafes with hand sanitizers, provided face masks to everyone. They get your temperature before you walk into a public building. Is that what you guys are already doing in Sweden? Is that what "relaxing the rules" means for you? I don't think anyone has ever implied that. You seem to suggest that the countries imposing a lockdown are somewhat short-sighted. And that they will have to come to their senses sooner or later. I find that rather insulting to the people trying hard to respect the government imposed lockdown. It's obvious that the virus will keep on spreading but we are trying to contain the *pandemic* by staying at home. If your country is applying a different method I am in no position to judge, but those who are in lockdown right now deserve major respect.

I'm surprised that a soap vet like EW would be so sensitive. She was not cut to be EP although her initial term seemed to rejuvinate the show. Yeah but comic books suck nowadays. Movie series like James Bond have no other ways to survive if not to keep their main actor young and kind of reset his history. I really don't think that was the way to go. Soaps forget the characters' past conveniently all the time, so I don't see why a reboot was necessary. I wish Kim were honest enough to admit that Rauch was her favorite because he treated her like a goddess. I didn't know that about Patti. I just thought the Selena character was over. Which is why it didn't happen in 1999 either, I'm sure. I can't wait! I'm not that curious about YKW, WR or ER but it's tremendous that we get CW. I'm not familiar with the British soaps but I'd love to know more about the type of matriarch you could see Reva become, if you'd like to discuss it.

So what date was it after all?
