 I've been slacking a little on the uploads and wanted to add some bright spots for a somewhat hard and stressful year.....I still have some January 1989 I need to post soon!

Thanks for the interview clip too!

Can't wait to see that. It will be nice to see a bit more of Terry as Jack. 

 

Someone is sending me a June 1989 episode soon, I hope, but I don't know if it will be one that was already uploaded. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me (hopefully...).

I was gonna try to post the January ones,first, but it's been a while, and with everything going on I just wanted everyone to have something to look forward too........given also old Y&R clips on YT popping up are still very slim....

Can't wait to see it and confirm the date for you!

He totally seems bored out of his mind, and it's hilarious how even though he's sort of part of Cricket's rape story as the one who fires Derek, he has ZERO interaction with Lauralee, which we know why obviously....

I actually can sort of see why people rooted for Victor over Terry's Jack, as he played the arrogance better then Bergman...

Watch him in the background of group scenes, especially with Eileen. He's rolling his eyes, smacking his lips, making faces. Just great stuff.

 

Part of the reason TL was upset was because his affair with Nikki was abruptly cut short & he (like Brenda) was abruptly pushed into secondary stories.

 

It's a big blow to go from a steamy affair with the soap's lead heroine to a supporting (but still important) player in several smaller stories.


Especially when several male characters (who were supporting players not long ago) suddenly make the leap to genuine leading men themselves.

I might have to get some 1988 episodes with Eileen, because most of the 1989, especially early 1989 is Brenda, but he's definitely there physically not mentally....haha.

I can understand the frustration, but it's a shame Terry couldn't make the commitment to Y&R he should have, as I think he would have thrived throughout the 90's Jack stories.....

That was the era Bill was determined to make Cricket a part of a core family to cement the character to the canvas.

 

It didn't work with the Chancellors so he hijacked the Abbotts (literally) to make it happen then abruptly threw it away to foist Cricket back on the poor Chancellors.

Thanks for the uploads.

 

December 1989 was such a fun time -- JC doing her thing and clearly having a ball with Marge/Katherine, and Paul's eventual gaslighting of sorts of Cassandra during that beautiful remote, even if, by that time, I was sort of done with the whole George Rawlins murder.... I thought the build up to Scott and Lauren was very sweet. They had good chemistry.

YRfan23, thanks so much for the December 1989 episodes.

 

I believe Peter Bergman's first episode was about a week or so prior to the ones you posted. You wouldn't happen to have Victor and Jack's first scene with Peter Bergman as Jack do you?

 

From watching these episodes, Peter Bergman is trying so hard to emulate Terry Lester (RIP) but it's not working.

 

Brenda Epperson was still relatively new as Ashley here, she had only been on about a year at this point. I believe Eileen Davidson left around October or November 1988 and Brenda started shortly after. I remember on Christmas 1998 CBS aired the episode from December 23, 1988 and Brenda was playing Ashley then.

Yeah, on 12/4/89, it had only been a week Bergman was Jack.....it's weird that this was only one of his 4-5th appearances ever on the show....I sadly don't have the first episode Bergman's Jack and Victor interact, but If I ever do get it I will post it!

It's funny how Bergman always said he never copied Lester's performance yet, for literally the first 6 months that's all he tried to do....it just doesn't suit him and never has suited him....

I think Brenda's first date on the show was December 5th 1988, so yep exactly one year she was Ashley during these episodes....I believe Eileen exited the date before Brenda started (on December 2nd, 1988)  but I don't know if that's been confirmed or not?....

    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • 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.
