Y&R: Old Articles

[Paul Raven]

John McCook's Lance always came off as a little stodgy to me , so it was good to see him break loose.

First disco dancing, now belly dancing. . . I wonder if JLB embraced these scenes or dreaded them?

Wouldn't it be cool to re-unite those two and have them talk about their memories of those scenes and their stories on Y&R?

Lorie, and a surgically enhance Vanessa trade barbs, and then Lorie and Lance have some more quiet time, which foreshadows a huge bomb about to drop.

The belly dancing was so fun to watch, as was the banter between Lorie and Lance ("Rich American...a whole dollar!" "I've had that dollar for six years!"). I remember reading about how Lance would randomly burst out into song - I'm glad I finally got to see it.

They switch from romance and comedy to drama so effortlessly.

I never understood why Y&R never did a 2 hour special that brought back former stars to talk about their memories of the show. They could reunite William Gray Espy & Trish Stewart, Janice Lynde & Tom Hallick, JLB & John McCook, JLB & Tom Ligon, Meg Bennett & Eric Braeden, Melody Thomas Scott & Wings Hauser and Melody Thomas Scott with Chris Holder etc....

I wonder why they never brought back crazy Mari Jo Mason to torment Victor ?

Great to see Vanessa without her veils....she still looks as mean as she did before though.....Loved how she played Lorie like that and Lorie doesn't let her have the upper hand....

Who's voice was that at the end?

Did Lance know that he was Brooks' father?

[DeeeDee]

Lance didn't find out he was Brooks father until close to the end of his run.

It seems like everyone in GC knew before Lance. Lance didn't find out till 1981/82 when Dennis Cole was in the role. Brooks was aged to about 10 years old by then.

Stu plans to get an annullment claiming she tricked him into marriage with lies of a pregnancy.Jill says she didn't trick Stu – she really believed she was pregnant and had a spontaneous miscarriage,but has no doctor's proof.

Hew lawyer responds that the burden of proof is on Stuto prove she committed fraud. He can't force her out of the house and they can force him to continue to provide support until the court makes a ruling.

Stu tells Liz the whole story and she understands and forgives....they kiss.

Jill is pleased to hear that Stu will have to testify he slept with Jill before their marriage as she believes he will never reveal t his daughters he had a one night stand.

Thanks, Paul Raven.

Now this is a hunk and this is a hot body.

Generic, oily gym rats with busted, frozen faces - you can keep them, daytime.

WOW!!!!! what great uploads. The Leslie reveal was full of high impact drama. I kept waiting for Lorie to slap Leslie or Lucas the way she was falling apart. I gather that Lance was Vanessa's favorite and Lucas didn't matter all that much.

The Jack and Jill pool scene was priceless. Terry Lester was so good as Jack. I hated it when he left the show. Peter never clicked with me the way Terry did. Brenda seemed to be getting all hot and bothered when he came out in that speedo.

DAMN!!!!!
