Y&R: Old Articles

[YRfan23]

haha weird....does she wear her veils? I assume the famous scene of her falling off the balcony will be in these clips? haha....

I'm dying to know if there will be any of the Lorie scenes dealing with the Stuart/Jill marriage and some of the Katherine/Suzanne ghost stuff....?

[DeeeDee]

One of my favorite Prentiss scenes is Lorie making faces at Vanessa through Vanessa's two way mirror.

She does in parts, in other parts, not. The veil made her WAY creepier, IMO. Yes, there is the complete suicide scenes, but none of the other stuff your'e referring to. A fair amount of scenes with Dennis Cole as Lance, and WOW was he gorgeous!

[Matt]

I've always thought that Derek Hough from DWTS looks alot like Dennis Cole.

[YRfan23]

I'm telling you the person who has Katherine and Jill edits from 1974-1980 better show himself haha.

I can't wait to see it all as the only footage of the suicide that's on youtube still I think is rough footage from a Y&R early 80's montage...

That scene of Lorie making faces at her mother-in-law through the two-way mirror sounds priceless. No doubt she was doing what many women would like to do to their own mothers-in-law...LOL

OMG. Thanks for the classic Y&R clips. I love watching episodes from the 70s, and from what I've seen, this just strengthens my opinion that now would be the perfect time to bring back the Brooks/Foster/Prentiss clan.

Thanks again for these clips. I'm so impressed by the depth of the relationship between Lorie and Stuart. He's got that stalwart side like John McCook's Eric Forrester, but with more backbone and strength, less cheesiness.

I love the sarcastic, sad dialogue they have Lorie punctuate the conversation with, especially when she says, her heart breaking, that Mark is "the best brother a girl can ask for."

She wails and shrieks but it just seems so real to me. Never an actress putting on a show. And the moment when she realizes he knows...wow. It hurts to watch.

The writing for these scenes - how she realizes he knows, how she is so ashamed and lashes out and he just won't let her push him away, and finally she agrees to try her best - is superb.

Why don't we have interesting parent/child relationships on soaps today?

Is the full score that starts around 17:10 available anywhere? I know I've heard it before.

So was Lance just a rebound for Lorie after Mark? How long before he discovered the truth?

[NothinButAttitude]

Because their parents are most likely tossed in the 'veterans closet' or only ushered out once a month. Sadly, soaps don't do complex families stories/scenes [with good dialogue] that much anymore.

[alphanguy74]

TPTB today are under the false impression that viewers aren't patient enough to sit through long scenes like this (And these are VERY long scenes) and it's these scenes that give all that in depth character development. Also, virtually all shows today are run by committee, and it completely destroys the focus. Only two people wrote all that dialogue in these clips, and that was Bill and Kay. Jaime Lyn Bauer is very unique, in that she walks the line between realistic actress and campy scenery chewer, but she never really crosses over it. She just somehow makes it real, and makes you BELIEVE that Lorie is a drama queen, as opposed to an ACTRESS being a drama queen.

One of the scenes seemed like it was 10 minutes song and it was an intro scene! That really surprised me.

Soaps are even admitting now they don't tell long term stories anymore.....It's very sad how they have lost faith in us viewers in willing to wait to actually tell a good long term story..... not that most of them could anyway.....

Lorie and Vanessa at each other's throats. You can see Vanessa now in all her veiled, nasty glory (At the very end, you get a quick glimpse of her spying on them in her two way mirror. )

'Mother Prentiss' such a Bill Bell line.

Great to see Vanessa and Lorie playing nice for Lance.And rather than making them out and out enemies,Lorie also wanted to befriend Vanessa,so there was another level to their animosity.

Loved JLB's enunciation.
