Y&R: Old Articles

"I'm Gonna Live Till I Die" Wasn't that the title of Katherine's biography penned by the multi talented Amber??

That was a very upbeat version.I remember a much more maudlin rendition given the full Katherine treatment by La Cooper,complete with waving hands and quavering voice.

Never mind, apparently he was on a little earlier than this.

Who is this in the background of the Jack scene?

1989 promo. Nice to see a little of the Jabot takeover scenes.

It's weird seeing Victor and Lauren so casual here.

I never knew Michael Crawford was in the Cassandra epic.

How long did Peter Bergman have that awful hairstyle? Someone was watching too much Great Gatsby.

A little jolted at how much she looks like Jess in hair and makeup in that last clip, if you don't look too closely.

Brenda looks so gorgeous from the neck up in these clips.

Anyone ever wonder if instead of turning Sheila completely psycho they had a just kept on as a viable villainess instead on the show? I wonder how she could have continued to fit in or if going to B&B was really the best thing for her.

[DRW50]

I think going to B&B was probably for the best. Scott was a drab character, and Sheila had no real relationship with any other major characters. What surprises me when I watch back is how little interaction Lauren and Sheila really had. For story purposes that does make more sense (now you have enemies sharing the same scene dozens of times).

[yr9190]

Yeah, I notice that too, Lauren and Sheila really didn't actually share a lot of screentime together during Sheila's first stint even in the episodes i uploaded. Lauren is usually just with Scott and Paul badmouthing her. I think they interacted more on B&B (during Lauren's visits)

It still amazes me how Lauren had little (or so i think) to do with Sheila's story on B&B during 1995-1998.

I think they were probably right to limit the interaction Lauren and Sheila had on B&B. I just wish they'd given Lauren better material.

[y&r_fan]

How was B&B able to keep Sheila on for as long as they did, given the crimes she committed on Y&R?

[DRW50]

The first few years, people didn't know her crimes, and she had to keep them covered up. The next few years were about her various schemes after everyone found out about her and she'd been committed.

[DRW50]

This scene is hilarious, between the horror movie way Molly rasps out SHEEEELUGH, Sheila pretending (barely) to be happy, and the contrivance of smart Sheila sending Molly to someone who just happened to be a speech therapist.

I thought Lauren was pretty pointless on B&B until they had her working for Spectra and the triangle with Eric and Stephanie. But then the whole Johnny/Rush caper made her pointless again and she vanished for a good year before popping up again on Y&R and wouldn't get an actual storyline again until 2003. James/Sheila/Stephanie was pure gold although I hated they aborted Sheila's redemption tale just to have her go wayyy overboard for her exit.

I have to wonder what would have happened though if Sheila had expanded her sights on someone else like Brad or even Paul.

[DRW50]

You can see the rest of this on their channel. Remember when Keemo wasn't just a DC Comics villain from 1968? Remember when Doris and Sharon actually had a relationship? Remember when you cared?
