In the bible, Warren killed Channing. I don't remember if the reason was explained as I feel it was written as bit of an end note at the end of the plot section. He would later marry Eden and die shortly afterwards. It didn't say how he died, but I remember getting the sense he was going to be murdered.

Was it ever explained how the Capwells and the Lockridges first came to be established in Santa Barbara? On Dallas and Falcon Crest the geographical locations were suitable for the family industries, but I think the Capwells were in Santa Barbara before any off-shore drilling ventures and before the Capwell hotel was built.

"Oh, for God's sake, just drink the damn tea already, Ken!"

And I would've been glad when he finally drank the tea, too, except the interminable dialogue and music just kept going on and on and on.

I feel like this was talked about a little bit in one of the earlier episodes, like one that would have been in 1984, but it's not the sort of thing where I can tell which episode specifically from summaries to go back and look. So this is all going from memory, but I want to say that it was mentioned that one of the Capwells, maybe Nathaniel, was the first to settle in Santa Barbara when he moved there from back east. (And then later in 1986 it was established that the Grant/Madeline/Courtney branch of the family lived in Boston.) I'm not sure if it was ever explicitly spelled out for the Lockridges, but the impression I got was that at that time, they were already an established society family there and at that point better off than the Capwells that came there. But I could be wrong!

I just wrapped up January 1985. The show is so much more watchable now than in 1984! It wasn't an earthquake that revitalized the show, but a serial killer! That's probably something Jill Farren Phelps never forgot; this was her first serial killer story as one of the producers.

The story works here because there literally was nothing going on. Finally the show has some juice and energy; some stakes! The writing of it is ok, and the acting is good, especially from the killer Stephen Meadows. Finally Cruz has some real purpose on the canvas. He's been good as the cop, and to see him work with Mason, who he called "partner" once, has been fun!

All the other stories that weren't working have been dropped (Jade and Danny, the Amanda Lockridge) or are being downplayed. The one exception has been Ted and Laken. Why they insist on giving these two dramatic material when they can't act is beyond me! Your father killed my mother; you ratted out my brother; etc. It's silly, and all just a recipe for bad acting. They should have kept it light with them.

So, I ordered the special Soap Opera Digest 50 Greatest Couples special print issue, and it arrived recently.

How the rankings were chosen, I have absolutely no idea. But what surprised me was, in that issue, while both Cruz and Eden and Mason and Julia made the list...Cruz and Eden were #36, while Mason and Julia were #23!

Gotta admit, that surprised me here. (Even saying this as a mega Mason and Julia fan!)

With that said, it's a nice special issue, with nice write ups and photos and such. Not sure if it is in stores, but if anyone is interested, I got it through this store which was e-mailed through the SOD e-mail account:

      Y&R: April 2025 Episode Rankings

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?

      Y&R: Old Articles

      Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.

      I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
