Members will81 Posted March 31, 2012 Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 From what I understand JLB wasn't cast at that point. Her character was created but not intended to appear until later on (eventually making it on air in Dec 1973) Does anyone know if JLB was cast well before she appeared? I also find it interesting that Trish Stewart is missing from this, as Chris was such a main focus of story initially. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted March 31, 2012 Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 How long before debut was Mary Grover dumped as Leslie? Did she tape any scenes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 I was so confused with Brenda doing that "bad girl" pose as Jill - I thought Jill wasn't like that in her early years on the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 Look at this stylish shot of someone walking to the Jabot elevator, as Cricket walks out. Just beautiful. The show just looks so cheap now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbjpomNcC_w&feature=channel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 That blonde woman kind of looks like a more glamorous Cricket walking LOL. This is kind of a weird comment but i always love the old sound effect they used for the elevator dinging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members will81 Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well this was in a March 24 1973 edition newspaper, so obviously the press wasn't changed before the show debuted. I do remember seeing a pic of Lee Crawford in her scene with William Gray Espy that showed her in a slip instead of the nightgown type thing she wears in the first episode. Not sure if it was a rehearsal or they taped a pilot and weren't happy with it and re-taped. Does anyone know the pic I am talking about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted April 1, 2012 Members Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) CarlD2 posted an article about the beginning of Y&R earlier in this thread, and it has a small excerpt that talks about Janice Lynde replacing Mary Grover. It says she had to work until midnight and on a Sunday. Since Leslie only had a brief scene in the first episode I am guessing Mary must have taped a fair bit before being replaced. Maybe a weeks worth? From what I understand, they didn't tape too far in advance back then.

Members DRW50 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Very good chem between Terry Lester and Barbara Crampton here. Crampton seems so confident in this role, which she lacked in some of her later soap work. I wish they hadn't made Jessica so cutesy. I know we were supposed to love her, as this was the era when hostility towards those with AIDS was probably at a high, and she also had to be sweet if she was Cricket's mother, but she's so sweet that it just isn't believable to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSfI1sCLhto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-Msqfo-5A4&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgDgMZ8RZAM&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A6Sz8sw4Zk&feature=channel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Scenes you'd never see on today's Y&R - Lauren stands up to Victor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFR72xxxkAY&feature=channel I was just thinking of how good Nina Arvesen's work is in this episode and if it would end up on her channel, but it looks like her channel is gone. That's a shame. Edited April 5, 2012 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
