@DRW50 is this re: the YT channel with some 80s episodes of Y&R? Merci beaucoup!

[FrenchFan]

Thanks ! I will try to save these episodes !

[DRW50]

 

Yes. 

 

Google  pannoni4's Google+ . They have a classic soaps page. There are about 3-4 Y&R episodes from December 1984 on there. Some don't play, but they all download easily. 

 

Looks like there's some good Jill and Katherine stuff, Lauren, Jack in a peach sweater, Traci and Danny, early Joanna (I guess it's early), Paul and Andy, among others. 

[FrenchFan]

Never saw this stuff ! Great. Yeah Susan Seaforth Hayes joined in late November 1984 so it is very early Joanna material. That's great.

[DRW50]

 

Oh good.

 

I saw a bit and it looks like Jill tells Jack about Katherine "killing" Philip. 

 

(she loved telling that story) 

 

It's so good to see more of Terry and of Brenda, and of earlier years. 

[FrenchFan]

Yes, I've only seen Brenda near the end of her run when she is way over the top. It's interesting to see her in these scenes along Kay and Esther.

Thank you so much @DRW50!

 

Just watched 11/2/84. The summary on the page doesn't match up with the actual episode posted.

 

The ep has a grim, grey, hopeless feel to it, especially all the Traci related scenes. Paul's confrontation with Danny and Traci was painful, as these are people who should really be getting along.

I felt particularly bad for Tim's fiance Andrea, who for a moment I thought was the same actress who played Brad's crazy ex, Lisa. It's not her, but looks like a mix of Lisa and the soap actress Jessica Tuck.

 

TEB looks gorgeous, with her wild mane of hair. I didn't recognize ED at first with her brown hair pinned up and her glasses. BD looked simple and glamorous with her hair back in a braid and her "stealth mode" leather jacket. She was mostly silent in her scenes and didn't have a chance to get campy

All the mob scenes were painful. Phil Morris is a talented actor but he can't spin s**t into gold. Grabbing the guy and calling him "turkey" - so cliche.

 

Poor Stephanie Williams - I think she's very charismatic and enjoyable to watch, but the show never found her a suitable romantic match.
