Y&R: Old Articles

[kalbir]

Loving all the love for Terry Lester Count me in as another fan.

Terry was also one of the best celebrity players on Dick Clark's $25,000/$100,000 Pyramid. I don't think he appeared on any other game shows though.

I remember being shocked when the news broke about his passing, as he was quite young (53) and it was sudden from heart failure (from what I read at the time, he wasn't ill for a long period or anything like that).

Storyline-wise, I don't think Lester's Jack would've gotten the marriages and being a war veteran and father. His Jack would be battling Victor and still being a playboy.

I thought Terry Lester was the BEST Jack. I wish he hadn't left the show. Peter Bergman said in an interview that Eric Braeden was a big fan of Terry's when he took over the role and let him know it. I guess that explains that backstage brawl and their current working relationship......LOL

Peter always say's his favorite scene is when Victor collapsed and he leaves him to die and as he walks out of the scene he kicks his hand.

I'm still rather stunned at how dangerously close that came to rape. Not that the show didn't do something similar to this before (Nina/Phillip) but there is something really dark in Lauren's every calculated move throughout the episode. Of course, it if was a man doing this, there wouldn't be ambiguity.

Thanks.

It goes to show how great Bill Bell was at showing some of the examples people may encounter when they have just gone through something totally dramatic.....the psychological stuff that really explains people's motives and actions in this case Lauren grieving the death of her "child" and wanting another baby so desperately that she would literally seduce a man to make it happen.

[YRBB]

Absolutely. You know Lauren is dead wrong for doing this but you can't help but feel for her, considering her very complex, twisted, dark motivation behind the actions. It's enough not to condemn her. It is fabulously so... Y&R.

It does indeed show that Lauren was no better then Sheila, but Lauren does have good intentions however twisted they are.....Sheila was always more deliberate with her actions though people kind of felt sorry for her too because she just wanted to be loved.

Dug this one out of my magazine storage yesterday.

I remember purchasing it off the newsstand when I was 20. Haven't looked at it since.

Does anybody else remember if the soap press (Soap Opera Digest, Soap Opera Magazine, etc.) ever covered this? Or was it just tabloids like National Examiner and Globe?

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall SOW recounting the feud in one issue.

[cassadine1991]

Is this the brawl that had blood spilt

[SoapDope]

I was 14 at the time of the Y&R brawl and remember reading that Bill Bell was going to fire them both if they didn't cool it. In truth, I say that Bell would of gotten rid of Bergmen before he would " HIS PET" Braeden.

Braeden was a big fan of Terry Lester.

[Khan]

I think Bill Bell was all set to fire Peter Bergman before Jeanne Cooper intervened. IIRC, she told Bell that if one had to leave, then both had to leave. Or something like that.
