I guess we could always assume that they just sped Jill's pregnancy up (like they did with Lauren's with Scotty) but I wouldn't be surprised if Billy was really Victor's son......

again as long as Jill stays offscreen, there is no chance of Pratt wanting to do a "retcon" of Victor being Billy's father.

YRfan23, if I haven't given you enough love yet I want to extend you a GIANT BEAR hug for sharing these summer '93 episodes.:wub::wub: That summer of '93 for Y&R has the fondest memories for me for classic Y&R and being off from school I don't think I missed an episode that summer. 

 

I'm about to watch them all in the fullest.

awe why thank you!  :) you are always so sweet and for all the knowledge you have of classic Y&R that you bring, it's always a pleasure!

I also love that I now have some summer 1993 as I always wanted to see those episodes too, but I will have to get some more, maybe during the next few months! I will be honest and say I choose the ones I did because I wanted to see some of the rare interactions between certain characters at the time I had heard about....LOL

Thank you!!! I was hoping to see these 2 episodes again! your such an angel! :)

The other missing 1992 episodes floating around from YT and DM I think are, 1/24/92 (Rex and Kay Re-marry) 4/28/92 (Michael kisses Cricket) 9/29/92 (Olivia in Labor) and 10/14/92 (Scott and Lauren 2nd marriage reception)

Watching that 1/3/92 episode and it's a little sad what's happened to Victor's character over the years. Here he was so concerned about Nikki's well being and was trying to get her to fight her alcoholism. Today Victor would probably shame Nikki for her drinking, call her a drunken whore, and then kick her to the curb instead of trying to help. He would then justify his ostracizing of her saying it was to protect his family from negative raging alcoholic.

I have to be honest and say I sometimes don't know if it's easier to watch the Victor today or the Victor of the past.....I know the obvious answer, being the past, but even then there are still things that bothered me about Victor(which I know is the same for some).....I couldn't help but feel mostly annoyed watching even the summer 1993 episodes I just got with Victor's funeral/and everyone finding out what was in Victor's will......particularly the fact that the deal to return Jabot to the Abbott's was revoked, which I guess was predictable anyways, but It's still hard not to feel sorry for the Abbotts always losing to this guy, especially if you consider not long before Victor caused Jack and Nikki's son to be stillborn (which I'm kind of pissed Jack didn't keep reminding everyone in that room cause that's the first thing I would address) and to make it worse the smugness from Brad (who let's be real was always sort of being groomed by Bell to be the next Victor) who was out to get Jack just as much as Victor despite all the love the other Abbotts gave him was really undeserved either....I guess it would have helped if John and Ashley were written to be just as conniving as Victor meaning they deserved what they got, but that's the problem they weren't (except for Jack, though Aunt Jack was already at base there) and they never deserved any of it, yet how they forgave Victor so many times is still a mystery...

I really think 1994-1996 was a better period for Victor, he even was made to suffer a little for his actions (a possible punishment from his behavior towards the Abbotts?) and even got punched in the face by Cole (though that scene hasn't appeared yet) and had to deal with his own family drama with Nick being framed for murder... it was really a wake up call, and I think they made Victor realize he couldn't manipulate things the way he wanted....I think he and Jack became "friends" around that time for a little..

Brad also seemed to suffer a bit, after spending so much time letting Victor do things to the Abbotts, with the custody suit with Colleen and of course his heart attack...then going further he and Victor stopped being close as they were thanks to his relationship with Nikki.

    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
