With this dropping today, I was reminded of her and Andy's love story..which was realistic from the start to its conclusion.

She liked him, he didn't look at her like that.  Both ended up dating people not into them (he with Julie and she with Evan)..and eventually they became a couple and married.

They were a young couple in school with personal demons..with money being a big obstacle for them.  Plus Andy being more focused on his career instead of their marriage.

And I remember the final straw was when she was injured in an explosion after she confronted the one guy (Hans.. I think).. and Andy was more focused on getting photos of the tragedy than caring that it was her.  

A realistic end that wasn't due to an affair, psycho of the week, etc.

I was looking for the video of the plaster falling on Courtney face. I remember it being on YouTube but its seems to have disappeared. All of the Hans episodes are missing.

This episode is the day after the plaster fell on Courtney.

Is this the storyline what took place partially in England?  And if I recall, Penny Hughes was prominent for a short while, since Andy and Courtney visited her. I always felt this was probably written or at least conceived as one of Doug Marland's last contributions to ATWT, especially since he seemed to love to bring Penny back as often as he could do so.  Penny seemed like she was going to be fairly significant to Andy and Courtney's storyline, then she just sort of stopped appearing.  So I've also assumed this was the point that Marland's material finally ran out, and other writers finished the plot.  Sans Penny.  Just my possibly faulty recollections and speculations.  LOL.

I am loving these clips.  Such a great time for the show

This was their 30th anniversary celebration. Y and R just celebrated their 50th (congratulations great job still going strong) and GH is 60. ATWT and EON would have been 67 tomorrow and in 3 years70. Just think if they were nurtured correctly they could still be around to celebrate

That 1994 episode moved nicely. It doesn't seem like the strongest time for the show, but I found it entertaining. The story with Courtney's accident was interesting. I'm assuming that Sean Baxter returned for this. Is that Mark Lewis? And Courtney getting a visit from Bianca was interesting. The writing for Andy was a bit heavy. Could he be any more dense in the name of making the character ambitious? I also was surprised by how much physically Hayley Barr reminds me of Cari Shayne (Karen Wexler, GH). 

I didn't realize that the show had given Alexandra Neil that much to do as Dawn Wheeler. I found her story compelling. I am assuming she and Malcolm didn't have a happy ending since I believe this is before Dawn developed deep feelings for Tom. The fact that the character had her own set was very surprising to me. 

Colleen Zenk Pinter did so much with so little. 

I did like all the action shifting from the hospital to Mona Lisa and back. I also was amazed at just how many characters the show included in the episode. I think this was the norm for the show though wasn't it? The crowd that gathered at the hospital was large enough to carry the episode by itself.

I started watching the beginning but haven't completed it. Great to hear Melanie appeared!!

The writers at the time were still using Marland bible. The show still ranked #4 at the time. 

That is Mark Lewis ex Kurt from GL. I preferred him as Sean over Burke Moses. 

That's soap script writer Michael Conforti playing Malcolm.

That's a recast Bianca. I believe the original Bianca was unavailable at the time.

Yes the show was still flowing on most cylinders until Marland bible ran out.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
