LOL these are hillarious! I have never seen these before. Eric Braeden is really good with the comedic parts here. I wasn't aware he could actually do comedy well.

I love the parts where he "bumps" his nose into the "camera" during the first one, and Nikki opening the door into his you know what on the second one haha.

I hadn't seen them either. I knew he could do comedy but hadn't seen him in any since the Mary Tyler Moore Show days. The first one is funnier, to me, but the second has that great cameo from Melody. It's hard to believe that was just ten years ago. Probably the last time I tolerated Victor.

Oh yeah.... totally forgot about that MTM appearance he did.

Was the first one ten years ago? That one looks very 90's for some reason.

I just think it's funny that Victor is portrayed weaker in these commercials than on the actual show, It's a nice thing to see, and you can tell Braeden is not phoning in.

Haven't posted much recently but I was fantasizing after getting my GL DVDs about what if Y&R was to release its own DVD set? I supposed in particular if Y&R was ever get released on DVD I'd love to see at least the following three:

  • Summer 1979 episode of which a back from the dead Katherine shatters through Jill's glass terrace doors in the middle of a storm.
  • 1986 episode where Victor let's Ashley have it for the abortion. In 2003 there was flashbacks of this and they stuck me as very powerful.
  • May/June 1994 episode which featured Heather's nightmare of April being found guilty and executed.

I actually just got some episodes from May/June 1994 (one of the episodes has that Lauren and Traci catfight in it, LOL) but that scene where Heather has the nightmare about April is not included. That storyline is feature on those episodes which was nice to see, and I'm glad to finally see Kay Alden's daughter as Heather, who was really good. I will try to post those episodes soon.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, that seems of touch in 2025. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
