I wish some more early Y&R stuff like that would show up. I wonder if Janice Lynde has complete episodes of her Y&R work or if those were clips she had used for an emmy or demo reel ?

There seems to be lots of late 70's/early 80's GH available, but no Y&R. Somebody had to be taping in those days.

As cheesy as these ad were, they seemed effective. I hate that soaps aren't catchy with their ads anymore. A great ad can do so much in the long haul.

Gosh, I hate being a late 80s baby. I would've enjoyed soaps in the 80s. At least I got to enjoy the last golden age of soaps--the 90s, so I can't complain too much.

wow, that's so cool! I can't believe you found something like this....I wonder if it's a bunch of clips that were once deleted off youtube or a DVD someone put together, but wow lots of rare clips!! I loved it.....in so many ways though it made me wanna cry as this was truly a lookback to the show that was once Y&R.....how can they ruin such a beautiful think after it went so strong for nearly 30 years....this was almost like a "farewell" tribute to Jeanne Cooper, Katherine, The Chancellors and whoever sustained Y&R for the first 30 years....

some of my favorite clips were seeing the scenes from summer 1993 with Liz returning and interacting with Jess Walton for the first time....and the Abbotts thinking they got Jabot back (though that made me sad to think of what was to come)

Loved seeing more of Deborah Adair Jill and everyone shaming Dina....remember when the Abbotts were an actual family and Jill was a apart of that family and not a worthless Cane and Lily prop?...

Also loved seeing more of the 70's Kay and Jill flashbacks as well as the rare Brenda scene with Katherine and the presents....it was almost comedic....

The Paul/April flashbacks were great too...I guess those were taken from various 1993-1994 episodes? though I I recognize one of the flashback sequences from a 1992 episode I uploaded...

sigh....I just wish someone would show this to JFO or Pratt but they would probably gag at the site of something like that....

And request they'd be taken off Youtube immediately.

Actually that '93 scene between Liz and Jill reminded me of something. Y&R never really has had a matriarch in the same vein as Nancy Hughes, Bert Bauer, Alice Horton, or Mary Matthews has it? Liz does remind me a little of Ada from AW though. I guess there is always Mary Williams but who in their right mind would try to share coffee with her?

Liz(Julianna) should have definitely stayed on in the 80's and 90's to play off Jill and Katherine.

Loved Peter Bergman's comments about Bill Bell's writing and how characters stayed on course.Interesting contrast to his positive spin on Chuck Pratt's nonsense.

This month marks the 25th anniversary of the arrivals of Kimberlin Brown, Victoria Rowell, and Tonya Lee Williams. I know Kimberlin's first episode was online years ago, but I don't recall seeing Victoria or Tonya's first episodes anywhere.

Sadly, yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of Jeanne Cooper's passing. May she RIP.

Don't know if this video is posted but Jeanne is hilarious in this (starting at 4:00): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzendVxnqJI

    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned that, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim

    • So not only did Hayley steal her daddy, but now you want Hayley to steal Naomi's husband? LOL.
    • Omg

    • '92. I was looking for when Vanessa called Billy a sonofabitch. Then I got sucked into '92 and got rewarded by finding Vanessa and Mo getting sloshed. (3/6/92, I believe). Then the Blackout...lol, and just kept falling down the rabbit hole. This is lateOct/earlyNov. I couldn't believe my ears!  Reva's marriage to Billy was before they came to town. But yeah... Maybe it was Harley and Gus that CarJack lost to later. thanks! Thanks @Paul Raven  this is a fascinating read. 
    • I just have this feeling Bill and Leslie about to be the next big thing. Not sure what that means for Hayley but if they want to be messy they could put her in Jacob's orbit. They had a bit of chemistry during their scene at Orphey Gene's a few months back.
