I don't know why that pic of Michael Damian and Nancy McKeon's brother made me LOL, just such a blast from the past/very dated moment captured in time.

For some reason I always thought Jerry Douglas was already on Y&R when he did hat scene in Mommie Dearest, and I'm surprised that they didn't mention Marguerite Ray's significant role on Sanford and Son.

I didn't know that Terry Lester could have had Paul and Joanne as in-laws, learn something new every day.

Well I do not know what to say about the late Terry Lester "dating" that woman. But he will always be Jack Abbott to me. Loved him.

I liked Jerry Douglas's eyes BEFORE he had that eyelift...

Jeanne looks awesome in that picture.

Melody Thomas sure got around that set! Well done Melody! (Love her too).

I hope Mark knows about this, he is a big fan of Lillibet's isn't he?

I am always confused about the timelines. For some reason I thought that the Brooks and Prentisses were already on the way out when Jamie Lyn decided to leave. It sounds like they were still there with no plans of going when she announced her decision. Did their characters leave after Lorie did? Do you think the show made the right decision?

Lynne Topping does look like Victoria Mallory so that wasn't bad casting.

Doug Davidson looks a lot better in recent years than he did here. He looks a bit too androgynous here.

I barely recognized Jeanne Cooper.

I forget that Jill and Andy were involved.

Chris Holder -- I recognize him more from his work on EON a few years later, and on Another World.

Michael Damian looks so young.

Peter Brown, he was fired when Jamie Lyn left? He was the one who was father to Liz Keifer?

How long was John Abbott around before Jerry Douglas took over?

Wings Hauser sings :unsure: I guess they should have had him sing Nadia's Theme for poor Liz.

2 Snappers. 4 Gregs.

Thanks, Dee. Ok now I have more questions. What actor came back as Greg when Jill first discovered Liz wasn't her mother? I know William Espy came back as Snapper during that time. Also are Snapper and Chris Brooks still married?

The Dennis Cole parts make me so sad :( His son had a tragic end, and Dennis's life wasn't so great in his last years either.

Michael Damian :wub: I wish the rumors were true.

Thanks for posting these photos...I got all teary-eyed looking at those photos!! What a beautiful show Y&R was back then.

Jim Houghton came back. He was also a writer on the show at that time.

Even with the way he looked when he returned in '09?

He returned in '09? I thought the last time he was on was when Marge died. That's the last time I watched a whole episode of Y&R anyway, so if he's appeared since then, I didn't see it.

Correct. My head thought '08. Still, he was quite ... something else then.

Thanks for the kind words. The feelings are mutual on this end as well.

They were all gone by the end of the year & it did.

Lynne Topping does look like Victoria Mallory so that wasn't bad casting.

Except one couldn't act & the other was just ok.

Doug Davidson looks a lot better in recent years than he did here. He looks a bit too androgynous here.

It's the hair. He had the Sharon Stone mullet for a LONG time.

I barely recognized Jeanne Cooper.

Cheekbones!

Michael Damian looks so young.

Other than the hair he was & still is cute.

How long was John Abbott around before Jerry Douglas took over?

Year & a half.

Wings Hauser sings

Of course.

Dogs are good at howling.
