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.

      I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.

      Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.

      This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.
