I would like to see more also-just to see how many other mistakes/innacuracies there are!

Jamie Lyn Bauer as Jennifer Brooks!!

Who did the research for this show??

Not only did it get this completely wrong,it also intimated that Bauer had played Laura on Days previous to Y&R.

Then,we get Bond Gideon mentioned as Dickson's replacement-true-but she only lasted a few months before Debora Adair came in and made the role her own.

Of course Brenda Dickson is on screen-that woman would do anything to get on camera-stating that when she returned,Jill was no longer the innocent she had been.

Did she forget Jill's marriage to Stuart and all the conniving regarding Derek/Kay??Obviously the surgery has affected her memory!!

The narrator also states that the cast was rounded out with daytime vets-not true-only Robert Clary had been on a soap before.

Did Bill Bell really want the show cancelled after a year? I thin he would have known from experience that shows need time to build.

Also,it made out that Jeanne Cooper's arrival was the reason for the ratings boost.That was part of it,but also Lorie Brooks arrival and the stories bulding momentum were responsible.

I could go on-but it shows what a cheapjack operation E! is and what little respect there is for daytime.

They were ulta-hot together: Dickson playing beyond camp a vamp deluxe together with the sinister Mr. Lester. Fabulous.

Unbelievable that their successors make an equally hot twosome. How I miss those days. Jack and Jill's flirtatious arguments at Jabot. Arrrr!

Memo to MAB: Jill, a story, not about Gloria, stat!

Brenda cried her eyes out.......when it aired Bill Bell called Brenda and asked her why she didn't cry.........Brenda told Bill she did cry and that the West Coast producers edited out her tears/crying.

Phil Morris had a breakdown on set.....then Bill Bell ended the storyline.

    • I would REALLY like to know why Rauch and Harding Lemay hated Jacqueline Courtney so much. The hate for her almost shimmered off of Lemay's book. He constantly ripped her acting. I never understood it. Was she the greatest actress ever? No, but she very good and had that certain something that made audiences like her. Lemay adored her replacement on AW. I forget her name--because she was extremely forgettable! There's got to be some story behind that story.
    • The "LiRic" fans are going to eat them up. (and somehow that is her most viable current relationship)
    • I'm not familiar with Irna's timeline of comings/goings, but I got the impression Neil Wade was written off circa 1967-1968.  (And I might be jumping to conclusions, but I also felt maybe the character was jettisoned because Rosemary Prinz was leaving?)   I know who Doug Cassen is, I think.  Wasn't he one of Claire Lowell's husbands?  They didn't mention Neil was his son.  But clearly there was a LOT unmentioned in the short synopsis that I was reading.  
    • That makes sense. Rauch did like to play games, as shown with some of the antics with the Labines. We should make some screencaps.  I can imagine her not being thrilled by much of anything in 1996.
    • I believe he also turned out to be Doug Cassen's son. I could be wrong about that. Yeah, he doesn't get talked about much in the history books. 
    • Cady McClain said the same thing with her hairdos - she switched it up so much because she was either unhappy or bored.  Kim must have been unhappy in 1996 because she has so many different short styles, it's wild (haha).
    • She definitely was trying new things with her hair and makeup in the 1986 scenes I saw so it tracks. Rauch wouldn't have been there, but it just strikes me as a conversation Rauch would have had with her with when he was at GL. Rauch loved to badmouth JC. So she put it in the book as if she had been told at the time. It's like how she has Michelle Forbes on GL years before she actually arrives or Ellen Wheeler firing people who had been fired yrs. before by Rauch or Conboy.
    •   From what actors have said, Y&R has been very busy taping the upcoming storyline, and that was up to and including the week of Diamont's party, and after.
    • Well, a good number of sets were up when I was there, but there was a limited number of people around. Even Y&R seemed dead, but maybe everyone was out for lunch at the time? I remember driving from the parking lot and preparing to enter the roadway when I saw Michelle Stafford and Christian LeBlanc returning from what I think was their lunch break. Not sure where they went or were coming from.
