Y&R: Old Articles

[SoapDope]

I kind of wonder what Jill would have been like if Deborah Adair had stayed in the role. Would Bill Bell fully redeem her like the Rachel character had been on AW or would he still have done the same storylines that he wrote for Brenda ?

Jerry Douglas loved working with Deborah. I wonder what he thought when he was suddenly paired with Brenda, since he only had worked with Adair ?

The little i've seen of her, she seemed more butch, and also more believable as a mother figure to the Abbott kids. I wonder what their relationships were like with Deborah in the role.

[Paul Raven]

From my recollections,Deborah played it well. There was always that insecurity there that stopped her getting close to the Abbott sisters plus Ashley's attitude was always a liitle distrustful of Jill.

Again,my memory is hazy but perhaps there wasn't a lot of interactions b/w Jill and Traci.Traci was in her own story and Jill wasn't involved.Jill was more in the John/Jack/Ashley sphere.

One nice memory I have was Liz bonding with Traci.I could have seen Traci turning to Liz for advice and support but that connection was never cemented.

It seems like there is little footage available on youtube of Deborah's time in the role. Those clips posted above were uploaded 6 years ago. I wish the uploader would have done the entire episodes. I noticed Kevin at the end of one.

I was in school at this time and only got to see it on vacation, holiday, or when sick (or faked sick). I was home the day Nikki & Victor got married.

I think Gerry Waggett's Soap Opera Book of Lists mentions that the police were called when the EB/PB brawl ensued and that they were considering suing each other, but decided to drop the matter.

[SoapDope]

I remember this. Creepy and hilarious at the same time.

NICE.

Thanks for finding the full clip. This was creepy and campy. I wonder why Marguerite Ray left the role of Mamie ? I always liked her.

[amybrickwallace]

I thought I heard she was fired, but I could be wrong.

[YRBB]

I don't have the full episode. People had been asking to see Adair scenes so I posted what I had. The next scene with Kevin lasts one second before it jumps, unfortunately.

I love Y&R's darkness.

And that poster's name is BrendaDicksucker. I can't.

[SoapDope]

Thanks for answering my question. I didn't realize you were the uploader and only had clips available. Too bad the Kevin scene got cut short. I was in school then and missed a lot of the Nikki/Kevin marriage.

Does anyone remember how Kevin was written out ? He had the blonde preppy Ted McGinley type look that was popular in the 80's.

[amybrickwallace]

He was Nikki's husband between Greg and Victor, right?
