Y&R: Old Articles

[kalbir]

Brenda Dickson sounds like she still has beef with some Y&R cast/crew members, and it's been nearly 30 years since she left the show.

I was about to ask so many questions like 'How does she bring in more ratings than the show'  Or, what does that actually mean?  But then I went 'Nah.' 

[Paul Raven]

Brenda is a one off.

 

Love the pic claiming to be aged 17. Apparently, the book is an incoherent jumble,full of inaccuracies and contradictions,rather like La Dickson herself.

[SoapDope]

We know that the drunk actress she is speaking about is Jeanne. That pic of her at 17 looks more like it was taken in the late 70's/early 80's. She would have been 17 in 1966 and that doesn't look 1960's.

that was a very cute Victor and Hope scene! Probably the best time period for Victor overall.

Only Y&R could do a long scene about eating fruit and make it all about exploring character and building connections/relationships. Sigh. I miss my Y&R.

[Darn]

 

Steve was hot. Why is she thinking about Brad when she's got that at home?

 

And it's crazy how old some of these sets are. Victor's penthouse is now the home of Chelsea 2.0

[YRfan23]

It's a shame the show mostly struck Traci with all these men who went nowhere. Her and Steve were mainly an offscreen couple, yet they are now divorced.

 

i miss the old penthouse sets! Victors and Ninas the most though! I actually thought it was Ninas old set now occupied by Chelsea?

[YRBB]

 

Nina's set became Malcolm's apartment. Victor's penthouse became Billy/Mac/Raul/Brittany's loft and then some other crap.

[Darn]

 

 

You may be right. All I remember is that the set had brick walls, big windows in the back and those dark green pillars.

[YRBB]

Sigh.

Hi everyone!  I feel bad that I am enjoying all your videos and I don’t have any to share in return.  But here is my small contribution…

 

I traveled to NYC for work and visited the Paley Center for Media (formerly Museum of TV and Radio). They have an extensive library of just about every show ever broadcast.  They have a nice collection of YR episodes, which I have summarized here.  If you’re ever in NYC or the other location in LA, I highly recommend a visit, to get your YR fix!

 

The key thing to know is that some episodes have been digitized, and are instantly available for viewing at one of the museum’s viewing stations in NYC or LA.  Some other episodes are not digitized… they are only available in an analog tape format.  The museum staff have to retrieve the analog tape and then you watch it on a special analog VCR.  I’ve noted which episodes are analog below, and this is specific to the NYC museum (I don’t know what analog tapes the LA museum has).

 

Listed chronologically (museum doesn’t always list airdate so in some cases I’m guessing):
