Thanks! Cool to explore the “ghosts” of early webpages.

 

glanced over those Y&R cast member chats....Braeden is still Braeden..( I got a laugh when the person asked about Victors brother and that he had forgotten his name, and Braeden just replied: “So did I”

LMAO at the 28 year old guy who asked Morrow out on a Date!

^ Great find! What a pivotal ep. ED looked gorgeous. Carol was so well-utilized...why did they ever let her go? :/ Leanna was never fully exposed as the author of Ruthless, was she? That would have been a great plot point to revisit if the show went forward with Leanna’s plan to marry John in ‘91.

As I recall, both Leanna and Victoria were established early on as being literally "frigid".  It was an interesting choice for the time, given the rise in HIV awareness in the 90's.  It seemed like they tried it with Leanna, then she was dropped, so they carried on the theme with Victoria, but then that issue fell by the side as she grew older.  Female libido was a theme in soaps twenty years ago, I wonder why it is no longer explored?

Carol was very tough telling off those reporters! and I agree, Jill could have done her dirty detective work to expose Leanna for her part in "Ruthless"  or any of her other crimes...if she got rid of Dina that way, that could have been a better exit for Leanna in 1992..

Lol, and Carol and Marjorie are definitely far more adept than Megan "The paparazzi are here!" Conley ever was at doing press conferences. 

 

Thanks! After recently re-watching the best of Mari Jo I felt it was time for a nice change up. Especially after realizing it has been well 25 years since a lot of this stuff went down!

Here's the missing November 6, 1991 episode that came from my latest batch of dvds....I wasn't gonna upload because the DVD is messed up towards the end, and as a result the remaining 6-7 minutes are unfortunately missing, but I'd figure I'll re-upload ASAP once  I get a replacement dvd...

Yes 25 years in 2019 for 1994 Y&R! YIKES!! and the scariest thing to me is that it's gonna be 25 years we've gotten Nick, Sharon and Phyllis thrown upon us!!

Those 1988 clips are really fascinating to watch. Did Jack tell Leanna all that about the abortion? I don't know how Ashley ever forgave him. I'd read about this story but reading it and seeing it are so different. Ashley's agony is so palpable it is hard to watch. I imagine those who felt this story was anti-abortion didn't have their minds changed by moments like these. 

 

The reporters are ludicrous, but it's all good melodramatic fun in true Bill Bell style. 

 

I wonder if Bell was inspired by all the Trump frenzy going on around this time. 

 

This is just about it for Eileen, isn't it? I feel like they have softened her look. Did they already have Brenda in mind? 

 

I always used to get confused when people would say that Eileen and Eric have chemistry, but I can really feel it in the '80s episodes. That hug was so bittersweet.

 

I love the Asian woman in the kicky hat and earrings, sharing a knowing smirk with her fellow tabloid reporter. She should have gotten a bigger role.

    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
