Chloe, IMO, never really did the sorry thing. Nor did Jill for all her attempts to deny Kay her name.

Don't forget Queen Michael & Saint Giggly Heffa.

Re Ann Betancourt(Estella).She has been working regularly since 81,according to IMDB.

One of her credits is Broken Badges,Eileen Davidson's short lived primetime seriesI wonder if they shared ant scenes all those years ago?

As for Estella,what do we know about her background?

How long has she worked for the Newmans?Did she have a good relationship with Nikki and Sabrina?Or was she pretty much an extra?

I wasn't watching during that time.

Alright, so I've told better jokes. Whatev.

Only Gloria deserves to be treated like the trailer trash she is.

As far as I know, this is the first time I've seen Estella on Y&R my entire life.

She's been recurring since last summer. She liked Nikki, a lot from what I recall, and mentioned liking Sabrina quite a bit too.

It'd be cool to see her and Esther share a cocktail and gossip about their former/current employers. By the way, what is Esther now - a maid again or?? Did she give back the money? Did Amber, Mac, Brock all give back the money?

Katherine got back her business, her half of the mansion, and some money, I think. Wasn't there a scene where she told Amber to keep the money or something? I assume that goes for everyone else.

Katherine told Esther that she doesn't want her to be the maid anymore, but Esther's insisted on serving Katherine and Murphy, but I don't think she's the maid in the traditional sense anymore.

The monetary property from the will weren't collected. This was briefly mentioned after Chloe and Billy's wedding.

And we'd see Neil and Nikki get married before a heart-to-heart between maids Estella and Esther. As if TPTB know anything about what maids think LOL.

I wish they'd more clearly explain this. I made the same assumptions too. And, again, i think Esther and Estella would be comedy gold together.

I'm loving all the Estelle love here.

Folks, you're never gonna get rid of LML. Even if all her characters are gone, she existed . She made 2 years of Y&R history that -- absent Bobby Ewing's dream -- will always be a part of the canon. So, "....grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..." and let's move on .

bullshit.

out of sight, out of mind....

Free Lauren!

yes!!

A big HELL NO to Christine Blair coming back.

word!

Conveniently forgetting Heather, are we?

She was created back in 1979 and returned various times. LML didn't harm her like "Colleen."

And trust me, Heather is just a character I like. No obsession, no hatred for anyone that doesn't like her. Do you even know of that?

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
