Thank You! I watched 8/1 and 8/2 so far

I Know Sheila's return was a big deal, but I didn't realize they advertise her return promos at the start of every episode....that's a clever way of promoting her.....Now we get stupid promos about their latest pets from primetime or other soaps....

These Nikki kidnapping scenes screams a little GH to me, even if that's what the show feels more like now......It's always nice to see Victor and Paul teaming up like the old days....now they are just at each other throats all the time now.....

I don't really care too much for the Brittany giving birth scenes, nor either J.T/Mac/Kevin scenes other then to say it's probably still better then today....It's kind of sad except Kevin unfortunately that J.T Mac and Brittany are long forgotten in the void of Y&R's history....

the scenes with Dru were really good, but it's sad watching these knowing that VR's time at Y&R was coming up and all the crap she would deal with.....it's hard to watch the scenes with her and Lily and with Phyllis knowing how they both felt about her in real life....

I just finished 8/3 and 8/4

I always have to roll my eyes at Victor easily beating everyone to a pulp......these guys are at least 30 years younger then him....come on now......At least this was before he became the monster he is now, so I can tolerate it a little, plus those guys were vicious at Nikki....so they kind of deserved it....I did laugh at Victor throwing the guy in the air....

the Brittany baby stuff is zzzz...................I didn't realize Mac thought he was J.T's and not Bobby's......

I'll admit I miss seeing Gloria more, though I don't want her to ever eat the show again like she did here.....the scenes with Ashley were nice and I'm surprised they were getting along here....

I didn't know Tom had that "twang" to his voice.....he's kind of cartoonish but I prefer him more to wannabe's like Ian Ward....

It almost sounded like he was implying he sexually abused Michael and Kevin when he said "I'll do worse"....

I'm glad they didn't forget Brad and Lauren's relationship at this point......it's definitely a lot more mature here compared to in the past which is a nice touch, and I liked Michael sort of confiding in Brad....

didn't care too much for the Nick and Victoria scenes......Heinle is still the same even after 10 years though I guess I will have to watch other episodes from this month to see...

I watched 10/14, 10/17 and 10/18 today, we got a mention of Cassandra Rawlins at one point. I couldn't believe it, I had to rewind and check to see if I heard right, I never thought we'd have heard of her again after the 90s. I love those little bits of history from time to time.

I have to say, although I'm not a fan of J.T, Britt and such, I'm handling them so much better than I am Summer and Kyle. Mariah I love, Kevin I've never had a problem with, and Abby's very surprisingly grown on me, she was the one I hated the most out of the whole bunch until recently.

You're not missing much where Victoria's concerned. I'm bias though, Heather Tom's always been Victoria to me. I can handle Amelia, but it's like watching two totally different characters.

Wow....I wonder what that's about? I didn't think they even mentioned after the early 90's though Ray-Tech her company always had a minor role in the show.....also I heard Melissa Morgan who played Britney her George Rawlins niece came back in 05 but as a different character...

I've always wanted the younger set on this show to improve but I have yet to see it...I'm just happy Noah's gotten more airtime out of the last 2 regimes, even if I'm not a fan of the Marisa pairing....

Oh, they were talking about Brad Carlton and how he had a way with seduction and getting what he wants. Jack mentioned that Brad had an affair with Ashley I think? A lot of this was brought up between two separate conversations he had with Neil and Nick, I think Jack was alluding to a potential affair between Dru and Brad.

Noah and Mariah are the two that I've never had an issue with for as long as they've been on, with the exception of screen time of course. I am just glad to see more of them around, it makes a change, I feel like I've barely seen them at all lately.

Question about Cole. I know Victor was not Cole Howard's father. Was it ever revealed who was, in fact, his father? One site says Rick Daros. I know that she was in a mental hospital with Daros, but wasn't that long after Cole was born? I also remember her marrying her co-conspirator Max Von Bedin(?) around '83. Was that a legit wedding? Just curious...Thanks for anyone that can help!!!

I'm not certain but I think his name was Marvin Oakley??....I don't know how he became associated with Eve, I just remember I think that's the name brought up in my February 1994 episodes, when they talk about Douglas getting his DNA sample so they could exhume Eve's body to find out if Cole is Victor's son or not...

I don't know why this ever occurred to me but was the whole Rick Darros thing and later Eve stalking Nikki at her first wedding to Victor related?

I think they both left the" Looney bin" at the same time, causing the two stories.

I had Marvin Oakley (Frank Whiteman) in my Y&R cast list,but I didn't know who he was... Thanks YRfan23!! I appreciate all your videos, by the way, in case I haven't said so before!!

Ok, haha I feel like the 80's in general had all these short term psychos to cause conflict, but I never know how they all come together..

No Problem! :) and yes I haven't seen this Marvin Oakley fellow but his name is on the credits list for the 2/18/94 episode.....

Thank you guys so much!

Since Y&R21395 is uploading a bunch of 2005, I figured I would upload the one ep I have from Nov 17, 2005... I think I uploaded it before. Basically, I need to go through all my DVDs and start ripping new stuff like Y&Rfan23 has been doing :)

BTW, the link for 8/17/05 isn't working for me... it says it's private. It should work if it's changed to unlisted.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you
