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

I would really love to see the Derek/Jill/Kay/Suzanne storyline scenes from that year, even if all of there was a compilation of just those scenes.

I'd really love to go to the Paley Center, too!

I also hope we get the follow-up episodes to the February 14th and 15, 1984 episodes from pannoni4's channel where Nikki is rescued from Rick!

That is an ep you can see when you visit Paley!

Just reading Jason 47's post of the script of Doug meeting Julie on Days in 1970 and there is a mention of going to the Colonnade Room!

 

Seems Bill Bell had a thing for that establishment.Wonder if there was a real life CR he based it on?

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.

Um, how long is the running time for this podcast episode?

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
