Thanks for sharing that with us, John.

Haven't seen much of this anywhere or read much about it but saw it in this August 30, 1983 Digest (and then after looking on here, Paul Raven posted something about it many pages ago).

A 'making of' The Hamptons.

"The Hamptons" seems all but forgotten...I'd love to see some clips.

Here is some very random news:

I remember watching the first episode, and I didn't even make it all the way through.

That's very random. The Yellow Rose is one of the short-lived soaps you can find bootleg, but I never was interested in buying it. Right now i'm saving for Sons and Daughters, which looks like a Aussie sort of Falcon Crest. Looks like fun.

Sons and Daughters has tons of episodes on YouTube. I've watched the first couple of episodes and it's very interesting, but it's definitely like the other glamor sof the era in that the beginning is quite humdrum.

TV Land ran the Yellow Rose briefly. I never got around to watching, as it takes a lot to sit through a Cybill Shepard show.

I have approximately one recap of Berrengers from a 1985 Digest. is anyone interested in reading it?

I'd be interested. There was a trader who had Berrenger's, but he went offline years ago and nobody seemed to buy it. Such a shame because it does look like it had potential.

Shane looks like Eileen Fulton.

Not the best ad for a premiere.

I wish we'd seen more of Anita Morris.

You can say that again.

Shane is Yvette Mimieux.

I hope more of this shows up on YouTube. Jonelle Allen was in it as well.

Y&R: November 2025 Episode Rankings

This is how every comment by this poster is. I’m employed though, so I can’t relate to seething over other strangers comments on a soap opera message board all day.

I think the whole Kendra thing was tied to Shiloh and Dawn of the Day because everything on the show was back then lol.
I remember the name Kiefer Bauer and eyerolled that. The abuse story was a pretty good idea in theory, but it had major flaws. It was way too violent, showing a bloodied and beaten Lexi Ainsworth getting knocked around by a huge man that looked 10 years older than her. Then it made Kristina look bad because she became a liar and accused Ethan to protect Kiefer. And in end it became about Sonny and Luke's pain over the whole situation because Sonny saw his mom get beat up and Sonny might have to kill Ethan lol. That would totally ruin Luke/Sonny's bromance.
Then in conclusion Alexis's notoriously bad driving skills were on display when she ran Kiefer over.

No wonder I barely watched in those years.
I just remember "Kiefer Bauer" being the nadir of Guza's fascination with macho primetime TV - he or someone clearly named the guy after Kiefer Sutherland and his character from 24 (Jack Bauer). Like, c'mon.

Lol! I swear they brought Keifer sister back maybe 10 years after Kiefer died and she was Alexis's fitness trainer with a revenge plot. I don't think the plot lasted more than a few months. Let me see if I can google her name. I want to say it was a K name too.
ETA-Kendra. It was in late 2019. She tried poisoning Alexis with protein powder then kidnapped her and tried to run her over with her car. Lucas then accidently killed Kendra by running into her car before she could kill Alexis.-
That's from GH wiki. I remember vague details, but the entire plot sounds like a fever dream when I read it.

ALL: Actual knowledge learned from soaps

I started watching OLTL in 1969. I remember the original Viki/Niki split. The terminology "D.I.D." (dissociative identity disorder) did not exist back then.
They simply called it "split personality". When the book and movie "Sybil" came out in the mid-1970s, I already knew about splitting from Viki/Niki. I was surprised that Sybil had so many alternate personalities, because I had thought there could be only two (the real/main one like Viki, and the other one like Niki).

(This was long before OLTL changed it to show Viki having many alters)

Sonny shooting Carly in the head is one of the strangest Guza choices ever. I think Pratt was involved too. Whenever it is (rarely) brought up I love the way the show somehow explains it away. It still makes me chuckle.
Anyhow, I think Kristina actually getting abused by Kiefer led to her realizing Sonny wasn't that bad. They reconciled after the whole ordeal.
Didn't they bring back Kiefer's sister years later? She was out to get Alexis through Pilates or something and then died?

Random thought...Esther seems to have been getting used a lot more this year than in the recent previous ones. With budget cuts, I feel like soaps haven't been using those fun supporting characters as much now as in the past. I miss Jeanne Cooper and having Jess Walton full-time. Seeing Esther takes me back to that time I miss so much. Good for KL!

I believe the hook for BELOW DECK DOWN UNDER this year is that the leads are all vets from other franchises (flagship BELOW DECK, BELOW DECK SAILING YACHT which is the only main one I used to watch, and BELOW DECK MED) so if that is the bosun, he's a jerk, but he's one trying to change himself, which I respect. However, he used to be such a jerk so nope. lol.

@Lujack4Ever I appreciate hearing your thoughts. You're right, killing Lujack was very short-sighted, likely a spite move, and produced little story value unless you are a big fan of Alex's decimation with Nick. I hadn't even thought of the lost story potential in Nick not meeting Philip.
Do you think Lujack would have worked with another actress playing Beth?
