I have a rare, first-generation VHS copy of Episode #205 of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS that I'm looking to sell. Episode #205 is notable because it's Jeanne Cooper's debut as Katherine along with the introduction of John Considine as Phillip Chancellor, II. Jill and Kay meet in this episode when Jill solicits Katherine over the phone for a hair appointment which goes horribly wrong because Katherine is "ill". Jill escorts Katherine home and instead of leaving when Theresa, the Chancellor maid, takes Katherine upstairs and makes her "a double", Jill makes herself right at home in the Chancellor living room to wait to Katherine as the episode ends. 

As far as I know, this is the second earliest episode of Y&R in circulation after the first episode. I received this during my days at CBS and am now looking to let it go. I figured this community would be the best home for it... If you have any questions, just send me a private message. More details are below...

Here's the link to the eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153079336911?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Your welcome! I've unearthed a lot more 1995 articles, pictures, and recaps I found saved that I'll probably share on this thread later tonight/tomorrow here. 

 

Would love to see the Ashley and Brad scenes! Victor and Nikki's couple status at this point sounds even more tortured than Cruz and Eden on Santa Barbara; same goes for Victoria/Ryan/Nina.

Thanks for sharing!!!! It's been years since I remember watching the infamous pillow stabbing scenes as Ashley was finally allowed to go berserk following the chilling yet low key revelation. Throwing Jill into the mix of the Rick/Blade story was a smart move and really helped save and drive the story's climax and aftermath.

When she says, “How could you understand what I’m going through?” to Jill, Brenda sounded just like Claire Danes when she’s agitated on Homeland.

 

Ah, the music. Why the producers felt like this scoring was dated and not timeless, I’ll never understand.

In the past, Y&R's music did a masterful job of setting the mood of the scenes and underscoring characters' inner turmoil.  Dumping that wholesale was just criminal.

I loved finally getting to see this too....I think this scene proved Brenda, if she stuck around could really play all the different layers of Ashley, that people think ED is more accustomed too, like the coldness and berserk scenes like this....I thought Ashley was going to go after Jill with the knife too!

I didn't realize Ashley and Olivia's friendship was present at this time....I always think it isn't really till they brought back Ashley with Shari, and then Eileen's return they played up the friendship more...It's kind of sad, that Ashley was warning Olivia, just as her own marriage was up in flames too...funny enough Olivia sort of went crazy too, when she found out about Nathan/Keesha.

btw, thanks for the 1995 SOU stuff! I have to say, some of the pictures, specifically Jack/Jill, Nikki/Victor look later 90's, but maybe it's the lighting.....surprised Lauren got a shout out, as she spent most of that year on B&B to finish up Sheila's initial arch there.....

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
