i mean it geared to some good character development as Victoria did grow from the bratty yet vulnerable and frigid daughter of Victor Newman yet to mostly a chip off his block at this point...I did think it was funny how Victoria predicted they would get married by the end of the year, cause that would have actually happen if it wasn't for that phony JOP who "married" Nick and Sharon.

 

still have yet to see that mysterious editior...I read that Victoria use to refer to her as "bitchy editor" lol.

those praying scenes sound really sweet but I didn't realize how later that was.

Thanks for finding & posting that, @YRfan23!

 

 

I think there's actually several reasons why scenes start out later:

 

1) The audience knows more is coming, so they'll stay tuned to possibly catch their favorite characters, stories.

2) It 'refreshes' the episode, already in progress, with something new. The audience gets a little 'surprise.'

3) Might be a formatting thing: All the scenes broken into units, how many are there, how could you put them in order so they rotate?

4) Allows the writer not to stretch out one shorter scene into the whoooole episode, but start it later and have it be more compact.

5) Also, this allows for groups of characters to have full scenes in the first half and then move on to different scenes for the second half. Just look at Christine: Three separate scenes in one episode. The more front heavy an episode is, the longer it'll take to wrap up the first set of scenes and have the characters move on to the next. And with Y&R's traditionally longer scenes, you want those characters with a lot to do to wrap up and move on.

 

Current soaps tend to shove 6, 7, 8 scenes before the opening or first commercial break in a desperate attempt to let the audience know what they'll be getting today and hoping they will stay. But I've noticed scenes/characters appearing well after the first 10 minutes on a bunch of shows (especially in the 80s) like old SANTA BARBARA, early 80s ONE LIFE TO LIVE, etc.

Hey guys, so someone on here a while ago was asking for episodes dating back in 2011? This is some of what I have between 2010-present. I have collected every episode since and plan to upload them all, but this what's uploaded for starters. 2014 is the most complete year, but some episodes were blocked due to copyright.

Hello everyone new user here!

 

i just want to say thank you to everyone in here for all of their hard work putting up the retro stuff for everyone to watch. Between the retro episodes and the Crash Bandicoot collection that just dropped on Friday, I've been in nostalgia overload and just want to give my thanks to you all

Thanks so much for sharing the 03/09/95 ep @YRfan23 I had even myself forgotten that Steve and Traci had popped up again, I don't remember them at all appearing in '95 as I had thought there was a gap in appearances between '94 and '96. Their material problems seem so minuscule compared to what Ashley was dealing with at the time lol.  In hindsight I wonder why Steve and Traci never had/nor was given a kid of their own. This past Christmas it broke my heart when Traci was excited to see Billy's kids for Christmas yet in a perfect world we'd see Traci with her own grandkids, the offspring of J.T. and Colleen of course. 

 

Actually it was notorious of characters appearing in and out within an episode during this time period. A few years ago from the summer of '95 I remember one ep made it before being taken it had something bizarrely in reverse; Jack, Jill and Brad all appeared in the first half of the episode but did not even appear in the second half!!

 

BTW it of course featured my favorite of the 1993-1995 opening sets, the Lauren open. Too many divas in one opening of course!

No problem!

 again it's a shame that not much of 1995 is posted but I'm glad this one turned up.

 

I always wondered if Traci/Steve still appeared throughout the end of 1994 if only in small spirts, since I assume the initial  Lauren/Brad/Traci saga ended by Summer 1994.....but I guess John's latest stroke here would bring her back to town....I remember seeing her and Nick interact in a rare scene from 1996 when he was trying to get info about Brad when he was about to marry Nikki.....that was interesting.
It's just sad seeing Little Colleen always knowing what's to come later...

I think I missed that episode you mentioned....again 1995 shows are so few and far between, I feel like we have to keep waiting for more to be posted. haha.

      What I wouldn't give to have any of Jordan's run as Tim surface.  I wish there was more of early '81 online. It would be fascinating to see Alan/Rita play out. I guess I'm too set in my ways...I'd be horrified at a Van/Alan marriage. Not that it wouldn't have been great to see more of Chris Bernau with Maeve.

      This leads to one of my favorite scenes ever...I won't spoil it but it is a very clever meta moment unmasking Brent to the cops...(it may have happened.) Also you already saw one of my favorite lines..."You, you think I'm a LESBIAN???" even crazy Brent is shocked that Lucy is that dumb, and only crazy Brent would be pissed at being mistaken for gay instead of being a psychotic rapist /killer.   Hate that scene, made both adult women look like morons. Amanda is way too subtle for that, I could see her egging emotional Blake into doing that and making a fool of herself in front of everyone. The whole story would have been more fun if Amanda was manipulating Blake to look like the Blake of old.   One of McLaiby's biggest mistakes is what they do to Bridget, who grew up since having Peter and loosing Maureen and running a business.I remember Liabson saying in the press..."The Bridget we know is back" but that was over, and being more adult does not mean you have to be boring..she was even less feisty here, she just looks pathetic.    This story is so gross... and too bad too, cause Griffin is sexy as hell. I can see Viv getting steamed on him but....   There is a spectrum of sexuality that some people can go in and out of, depending on special people they may find attractive...and we can leave it at that. I never trust the long distance girlfriend boyfriend but I hope he is happy and settled. I would have HATED the Abby storyline. He raped and killed too many people to be "reformed," and to have anyone in SF accept him or trust him after that would make them look like morons.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Eva convinced Nicole to have the party -- due to Leslie/Dana's insistence that there be a party when they do their planned dramatic reveal. They haven't specified which anniversary it is for Ted and Nicole. How many years have they been married?  It's not 10, 20, 25, 30 or some specific number that you'd celebrate. Kat pointed out that there was no plan for a party until Eva instigated it, which indicates to me that it's some odd number of years.

      Why is Billy such a wet rag in every scene he's in? Isn't he the same man responsible for the disastrous Chancellor Remodel back in 2016?

      Part of me feels both Jacob and Naomi might show up at some point today. As "late arrivals", etc.

      MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

      Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.

      2025: The Directors and Writers Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!
