Y&R: Old Articles

[will81]

Chris does look like she is getting married. She says I do and has a man in a suit standing next to her. Must have been some sort of wedding layout maybe and it reminded her of Snapper. It may have been why she chose to quit Jabot and head to England.

When Chris was working at Jabot, didn't Jack start sniffing around in hopes of bedding her ?

Who wasn't that guy after back then??? LOL

[SoapDope]

LOL...That's true. Jack also flirted with Julia Newman and slept with Peggy Brooks. He knew Nikki early on, but I don't know when and how they met. I was just a kid then and they were already hanging out as early as 1982.

Damn Jack was quite the player

[slick jones]

Yeah, Jack got around in the early 80s.

Considering how sexy Terry Lester was, I am not surprised

[will81]

They got pretty close to it Chris certainly didn't totally discourage him. In fact I think if Chris had been kept on she would have been one of his conquests.

I seem to remember reading that the Y&R staff got memos from the censors to tone Jack's sexual antics down a bit when Terry Lester was in the role. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

[SoapDope]

That would have been surprising and out of character Chris, but being married to a dillweed like David Hasselhoff's Snapper, she probably needed some excitement in her life.

If Jack had succeded, he would have bedded two Brooks sisters. When JLB came back in 2002, Jack claimed to have asked Lorie to the prom in high school. I feel that was a rewrite, since I don't remember if Jack & Lorie had that backstory when Terry Lester came on in 1980.

[SoapDope]

I don't know if that's true about the memo, but he was always in bed with someone. Look how many women he slept or flirted with and the women who were obsessed with him. Lindsey Wells obsessed over him and Carol had a crush on him.

Sharon Farrell in a British credit card ad a few years before she got Y&R. The waiter looks familiar too.

Dorothy Green (Jennifer Brooks) was not a happy camper.

In an interview from August 77,shortly before she was killed off she claimed the older women on Y&R were written as victims - she sited Liz Foster as having a stroke, KayChancellor - rich but lonely and an alcoholic and Vanessa Prentiss,scarred and living as a recluse.

The message according to Ms Green is that 'you've reared your children,now you're finished'.She claimed fans she meets in that age group agree with her and that these women are not shown to be doing anything positive with their lives.

She said the men on the show are treated differently eg Stuart,who hasn't done a thing wrong in 5 years.
