I was surprised to read in a late 2002 Digest interview that Janice Lynde was in talks to resume the role of Leslie, and Leslie would be different now, etc. I'd never heard about this (or forgotten it). Does anyone know how close it was to happening? I wonder if it would have worked, since Leslie had no ties to the canvas.

I've seen this before but it's been a while. It's a great scene, especially Jill's last line. I was surprised at how aggressive Mamie was in this, more than I remember her being later on (aside from a few fights with Jill after she cheated on John with Jed). Was Margeurite Ray's Mamie written more aggressively or was it just an acting choice here?

April's trial is very melodramatic and TV court, and the woman playing the prosecutor gets on my last nerve, but I'm reminded of why I was so fascinated by April when the story first aired. She's not the greatest actress but she has such a husky voice and she does well with the strong-yet-weak character here. It's too bad they recast April and then totally forgot her existence.

I'm thrilled 1994 Y&R eps are up now on YT. Its funny that Y&R actually brought back Eilbacher and later Alex Donnelley as their respective characters whereas today we'd probably end up with Tracey Nelson in the role of April. The whole April story had me mesmerised for the entire duration, and I'm glad clips of it are finally surfacing.

I actually would have been interested to see Lori and Leslie have returned fully there in 2002/2003 I could see the show then bringing in Brooks Prentiss as a love interest for Victoria after the Diego mess...oh the failed possibilites.

Only now do I realize the respect Bell had for viewers, bringing back old actors if he could, and weaving them into the story believably. Eilbacher wasn't a big actress, but she was more than suited for this story. And it was not a whodunit, which is what it would be today.

I think Leslie's return would have been interesting mostly because she wouldn't have been with Victor.

I'd still like to bring Prentiss back, as long as showkiller Sheffer is gone.

    • I'm glad a lot of people are continuing to enjoy this show.

      I haven't posted in a few weeks and have some catching up to do. But I did manage to look at the last two episodes after hearing about how good they were. I really enjoyed them. My thoughts on them: The affair/secret child reveal was very good. TMG was really good as Leslie, her whole confrontation with Ted/revealing all to the Duprees was very entertaining. I continue to love AM/Eva. She my top two favorites on the show (along with Nicole). I have a lot of sympathy for Eva and how she was conflicted/ultimately felt guilty about publicly revealing the truth to everyone. I wonder what will happen to her next, especially if she does go and live with the Doctor that is friends with Ted and Nicole. I lol'ed at how Martin/Smitty jumped up and grabbed Leslie when Eva was calling her crazy. The way they did that was funny to me. I haven't liked many of Martin's actions/his attitude especially regarding Smitty/his children, but I think it was interesting how he wanted to check Ted for his actions. And also wanted Bill to be questioned/confronted about his as well. I haven't been the biggest fan of the character of Andre, but I appreciated his calm and measured approach after the reveal and how he talked with Eva. I thought it was interesting that he knew about the affair and convinced Ted not to tell Nicole. Speaking of Nicole, I continue to love her character and view her as the heart of this show/Dupree family. I am interested in seeing where her journey goes as a character after this reveal. I'm looking forward to her leaning on Dani and (also Anita/Vernon, etc...) for a change.

    • Lol.  I love that this board still allows misinformation from a bad source.
    • Thanks @kalbir what a time to have enjoyed the peak of the primetime soaps. Haha you’re good. The only complaint I have with Lorraine’s death as I mentioned recently in the FC thread was it was overkill, and all we got Apollonia. If a pregnant woman had to be killed off, I would’ve chosen just killing off Robin instead in some freak accident or in the explosion at Richard’s to save us from us that disaster lol.    Did Hotel have a cliffhanger that year? I imagine if Hotel had been soapier we would’ve had cliffhangers like the hotel catching on fire or bombed by an ex-lover of Christine. Peter pisses everyone off and is shot in his office. Or a major Golden age star like a Olivia de Havilland shows and tells how she originally owned the Hotel and how Victoria Cabot & Laura Trent stole it from her but now she owns it etc.
    • The whole AMC 2.0 pulled it together in mere weeks to get a show up and running, with scripts and a cast.

      Ginger Smith seemed really passionate about being in the executive producer position, and I think she really did a fantastic job in six weeks. It was just well done.
    • I totally didn’t pick up on that. Just perfect! I don’t get the Maurice Johnson hate around here at all. He didn’t take me out of the scenes at all. I understood everything he was portraying. It was great. I do wonder if there will be a personality shift with the new actor, whom I’m still not excited about. Exactly. Right? I’m in the exact same boat as you. Agree with most of this except I never found anything off with Ted, didn’t suspect a thing. I just watched yesterday’s episode and it was one of the best soap episodes I’ve seen in a very long time. I was enthralled the entire time. Just fantastic.
    • Yep! Very curious to see where this goes. 
    • I was confused too, but I think it was always a "tribute thread" (this one and OLTL's were created when their cancellations were announced). They just changed the show abbreviations to their titles spelled out, I guess to make the board just a little bit more uniform. I was lost, too lol
