When I watched that blurry 1972 episode several years ago, I thought that was Jane House playing Liz. If she was fired or quit in 1971, that was her replacement I saw. 

There is no telling what Obsolete Video has in his collection of soaps. He has posted a few episodes and shown opening/closings in channel surfing videos. Archives and celebrity estates are sending all their stuff to him by the truck load. What annoys me is he rarely shares anything and mostly post videos about his studio, a project he is working on, or the equipment he has acquired/restored. He needs to start selling copies/making available the footage he has to help fund his projects. He could set up a streaming service where he charges a small fee for access. 

Wow ! That Melinda death scene was pretty gruesome. That is proof that written synopsis never do the actual scenes justice. I remember reading years ago the summary of Y&R's Lorie confronting Leslie about her pregnancy. It sounded like she just stood there with a smirk on her face questioning her. When I actually saw the scene. Lorie went totally ape $*#! and backed her into the corner. I thought she was going to start beating her and Lucas comes in and all but puts her in a headlock.

Yikes. I am with @slick jones, I didn't expect the boat to hit her either. 

For the period this was shot in, ATWT exceeded expectations. I thought it was going to be cheesy and look cheap. They proved me wrong.

 @Khan! You didn't wanna hear Melinda scream out even more that Brad is the perfect lover?!

People say dumb [!@#$%^&*] when they're [!@#$%^&*]-faced, but "Brad Hollister is the perfect lover"?  Nobody gets THAT drunk.

I don't know WHAT the EP at the time (either Joe Rothenberger or Fred(die) Bartholomew) was thinking.

It's one thing if Brad had been written as this nerdy, loner type who was infatuated with Dee - someone he could have regarded as beautiful and unattainable - but they tried to make it seem like all the women in Oakdale, including poor Melinda, was just crazy about his junk.

I've always wondered why they never brought Carol back in future years. But then again, it was probably for the best. They'd probably have her come back being a vixen wanting to break up Tom and Margo. That would've been more for Natalie to do but I digress. Reading up on her history, post-Tom, Carol stayed getting with sleazeballs (re: Jay and Steve). 

Does anyone know who Jeff and Annie were spying on? 

Also, how long before Cynthia gets phased out now that it appears David has his memory back?

    • At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.
    • I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space. 
    • Errol posted that Ed Scott retired  
    • Thanks!  @Soapsuds

    • Hopefully they can expand some of the sets again. I watched some 04/05 episodes and forgot how much more grand the production used to feel. I wonder if YR will be staying put or going there or somewhere else as well.
    • DAYS posted the recipe! https://www.instagram.com/p/DKiMVZvuZje/ dayspeacock June 5, 2025 Tomorrow is National Donut Day! Here’s Alice Horton’s famous recipe! #NationalDonutDay #Donuts #Recipe #DOOL #Days #Daysofourlives #TBT Ingredients: 2 eggs 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of milk 5 tablespoons melted shortening 1-teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring 4 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 stick butter, melted Cinnamon Sugar In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly. Stir in milk, shortening and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, mixing well. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes to one hour for easier handling. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Roll out or pat the dough on a lightly floured board to a half inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Place the doughnuts and holes on the baking sheet, one inch apart. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush each doughnut and doughnut holes with melted butter and roll in Cinnamon Sugar to coat all sides. Makes about 36 doughnuts. Cinnamon Sugar: 1 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, blending well.                                                                                
    • "Jordan and Robert have the best brother chemistry. " They certainly did!  And that chemistry worked no matter who served as the protagonist in a given scene or story.  A shame that a full-blown story was never developed for those two.  Wouldn't have needed to be adversarial, either.  Maybe a serious, unexpected, long-term outside threat, business or personal, to one of the brothers with the other coming to his aid.      
    • Meant to come back to this!

      I was able to find most of them. I am not sure if you did 1974-1977 but I did not find it in the 70s thread.

    • Mrs. H used the donuts to distract from the expensive jewels that she hid in the walls of her kitchen.  Now, it all makes sense...

      I thought a smart cookie like Caroline Brady would've had the chance to hide a bauble of her own from her dalliance with Victor.
