lol I heard the theme music to B&B too today! LOL

It looks good to me. But then I wouldn't miss an episode of Y&R these days. Even if it was an episode about Sharinitwitheveryone I would probably watch.

I loved the classic episode, except for the pregnant woman and the people I didn't recognize, lol. Robo Victoria was actually a little bit lively in the episode and it's funny how Nick should only be 21. Seeing this show made me think that soaps could cut budgets by airing new episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and stick in classic episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Even if they don't air entire classic episodes, I would love to see classic storylines re-shown, like Sheila/Lauren, Marge/Katherine, the entire Katherine and Jill history. The B&B theme song was the cherry on the icing and Marge winning about them interrupting her soap.

I hear ya Zoe. I am not a huge fan of Cane or Lily but for all intents and purposes she's chaining this man with a lie. Cane is written to be very heroic and noble and there's no way he would let his child be raised as a bastard. it's very outdated logic, but it sort of works for him. Character/actor's allegiances aside (again I know Cane and Lily aren't popular to many on this board) there are life-long consequences for Cane - not to mention the CHILD not knowing his father! - being married to some schemer. Nobody dead, but IMO how she's screwed with people's lives without ANY guilt is horrid, . The good news is that Hogan is a master at penning female schemers, their downfall, and their resurgence (Katie, Barbara, Emily, et al). I SO want an Edicott awards-type meltdown for Chloe.

As for the eating disorder, I don't think they stopped the s/l because of of CK's talent, I think they saw the potential of EH and wanted her for more than a baddie-of-the-month arc (think Shiloh and JT horrid s/l).

i think Y&R does mostly a good job of rotating its characters. it's sometimes hard to adjust to where we were yesterday to where we are today - for instance, Gloria was arrested on Friday, then on Monday we get River's maddness, cut to Tuesday where Gloria's just getting booked. It's tough to juggle folks and work around people's schedules. I don't know what union contract Coronation Street workes under but that makes a big difference as well.

I really wish these soaps would quit promoting the idea that it is better for a child to not be born a bastard than to have your parents divorce at a young age, because they never loved eachother. I am a bastard and glad for it. My peers who come from divorce are much more damaged. Cane is a doofus and deserves what he's getting.

Y&R's time lines do need some work. I didn't like people being in prison one day and out the next without much explanation.

Wait, so there's a real!classic tomorrow? Why am I just hearing about this lol. *hurriedly searches for blank tape space*

LOL me too. I think they chose the perfect episode to air.

I love them too. Unfortunately though I think Lane is the end game.

I think that Lane are going to be the end result as well. I would rather this not happen, because I don't think that Cane and Lily have chemistry together. I think that him and Lily are boring together I do kind of like Cane though. I don't think that he is very bright, or very interesting but I think that he is a decent man. I liked him best with Amber. I thought that they had some chemistry and that if their storyline was written differently they could have turned into a more solid couple. IMO, Cane and Lily aren't interesting together.

I don't think that he has any chemistry with Chloe either, and I also don't think that Chloe has any romantic chemistry with Billy. But I think that her and Billy are probably going to end up together, at least for a little while. But I would rather Billy become seriously involved with Lily or if they don't work out is paired with someone that he has romantic chemistry with. IMO, that's not Chloe. I think that they have adversial chemistry, but I don't see any romantic chemistry between them. They kind of remind me of current Jack and Jill, in the way that they interact with each other.

Jack and Jill have good banter at times, but I don't want to see them as a long term romantic couple, the same goes for Billy and Chloe. I hope that if they are paired together, they won't last very long, and that Billy will eventually be paired with someone he has a lot of chemistry with. If this happens, the person probably won't be Lily again, but someone else.

Good God, the cast of Y&R doesn't age, do they? Kay, Brad, John, Jack, Cricket, and Nina are all characters that we've seen in the last couple of years, and yet they all look the same in this episode as they do now. Except for maybe Diamont...he's gotten a little thicker than he was back then.

Tricia Cast is so freaking pretty. I love her face.

WTF, Morey Amsterdam?!

oMYgod...that intro is soooo 80's and cheesy soap!

^^^I know! But I still loved it. LOL

Was that Marge? And is she watching B&B?...God, no one ages on this show..Weird to hear Katherine called Mrs. S

It's 1989 in Genoa City; and then, like now, Nikki has issues with her hair.

The more things change...., lol.

Just remember: it could have been Gloria, and not Michael, who got the "It's a Wonderful Life" treatment. ;-)

Wait when was Nick born? Is Nick similar to EJ on DAYS?

YOu mean Diamont got fat!!

Yup

Exactly!!

I loved today's classic episode. I got to tape it on DVD. I loved Brenda Epperson as Ashley. Why she isnt on daytime anymore is beyond me. It was nice seeing L. Love although she was never a favorite of mine. Where is Barbara Crampton? She would make a great Betsy Andropolous recast on ATWT.

And what happen to director Heather Hill?? I thought she was one of Y&R's best directors. It was funny to see Tom Lagan's name in the credits.

They need to bring back Nina and Traci full time. They need to be added again.

Nice seeing Mamie played by Margurita Ray. I always prefered her over Veronica Redd.

I wonder what happened to the actrees who played Victoria. She must be in her 20's. And baby Nick should be around 18 or so now..the actor that is...LOL.

Oh and GL is on.....now...wow at 12:30 pm??...LOL

Too bad we couldnt have gotten a classic from GL.

I guess Wheeler doesnt want the viewers they have realize how great GL used to be.

Airing classic episodes like this one on holidays could benefit the show, even if only slightly. I could honestly see a former Y&R viewer catching this episode today and checking to see what's going on in Genoa City today and getting hooked again. I really wish they'd start putting classics online.
