I used to be tech-savvy enough, but right now it does not seem to work anymore. Any help is greatly appreciated!

From the weekly summaries I've read on Tumblr of Y&R, 1979 was the BEST year of the show, HANDS DOWN. Each character had the best storylines that year and each week was jam-packed with drama continuously. From the Kay/Jill/Derek/Suzanne saga to the Nikki/Casey/Nick storyline. I soooo wish we could find full episodes of that year, I'd give anything. I wonder how much fun it is working in the archives department at CBS (if there is one). There's got to be some episodes out there!

I totally agree i would love to see episodes from 1979, especially after after hearing some audio recordings from that year!

 

I wouldn’t be surprised at this point that if they do have an archive department (which I’m sure they do) that the people who work in it probably rather watch stuff from like 2013-present, lol

There was a real Colonnade Room at Chicago’s Edgewater Beach Hotel, which was closed in 1967 and demolished in 1969. Chicago native Bell probably kept the name alive after frequenting it with Lee. One can only imagine!

Cady McClain was on TV Guidance Counselor podcast this week http://tvguidancecounselor.tumblr.com/

 

I've been trying to suppress my disdain, but I had to let it out.

 

She mentions that Y&R was the least professional of the soap sets.  She goes on to say that production banned cue cards a year before she started; which seems unlikely given that she was on within the past five years and no soap production could afford cue card writers since budgets were slashed decades ago.   As soap fans, we've heard already this trope from other dissatisfied actors.  It absolves them by suggesting that they learned their lines while shifting the blame onto their former co-stars.  I can imagine that there are many frustrations of working with people who have been on the same set for 25 years, but Cady played Kelly like a maniac whether or not cue cards were present.

 

She also mentions being a bad barista in a coffee shop after ATWT.  So, unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have much of a plan B if her current documentary on female directors doesn't make more than Mary Poppins at the box office this weekend.

Did anyone ever read the YR novelizations published by Pioneer Books in 1986?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/bookseries/B01LT3QU9Q/ref=sr_bookseries_null_B01LT3QU9Q

 

I bought a few at the time, as a teen, but didn't save them

Besides YR, they also published Days and Knots Landing, and I was obsessed

 

They are very cool, because they aren't fan-fiction... there's adapted novels based on the actual show scripts themselves. So reading them would be a great way to get a detailed description of the show's plots, starting at '73 through '76 or '77.  I don't have time to read them now... someday...

 

I was reminded of these books when I saw this guy's website - he read all 14 of Pioneer's Days novelizations! How amazing would it be if there was a similar page detailing all the YR books

    • 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.
