Y&R: Old Articles

[Paul Raven]

We've also seen the episode from late 73 ? when Jill goes to the Chancellor house for the first time and John Considine is playing Phillip.

Edit -is that the Jan 74 episode?

That is the Jan 74 episode.

, and I think these were already uploaded but for some reason there's Soo much haters trying to keep us from seeing it or having it up like everything else

[vetsoapfan]

 

Cool. Where have fans seen that? Please send me the link, if you would be so kind.

 

I thought I had already gotten all the available Y&R eps from the 1970s, but the one with Considine would be new for me.

At one point there were some compilation clips of Lance/Lori at a disco I think and a Greek Villa. Also when Vanessa shot Lance and Lorie and Vanessa had dinner with Lance .

Does anyone else recall these?

[YRfan23]

I think that's the same episode from 1974. There's no earlier Considine as Phillip episodes that have been posted (as far as I know)  besides this one.

Thanks for the links, YRfan23! That 1974 episode is in better condition than the copy I have, but for some reason I cannot download or save it. What a drag! Anyway, I'll keep trying. And the playlist with all the Lorie clips is much more extensive than I thought. I only had the first five or so, so again...GRACIAS! We vintage soap buffs have to share the treasures we find!

Looking up the actors who played Philip 'Chance' Chancellor before John Driscoll is blowing my freaking mind.

 

So obviously there is Penn Badgley, who is having a career high right now with YOU. Then there is Thomas Dekker who has maintained a steady and successful career as an actor ever since he left. 

 

But even the lesser known children who played him are actors that are instantly recognizable to me. I can't wrap my brain around the fact that "Uh-huh" from the The Little Rascals film played Chance. I watched that film all the time as a kid and he was my favourite part. Courtland Mead also voiced Gus from the animated show Recess, another huge part of my childhood. 

 

There there is Alex Lind who I instantly recognized as the kid from One Fine Day, with Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney. He also had the unfortunate task of trying to continue the Home Alone franchise. 

 

Both of them don't look too shabby either from the most recent pictures I can find.

 

Now, Nicolas Poppone I don't recognize at all, but I found out he left acting at 13 to study violin. He uploaded this video in July 2018!

I know this post was just random babbling no one should care about, but I needed to get it out of my system.

Your welcome! I’m happy that all those scenes were still around!

  I can never get enough of Vanessa’s suicide!

[vetsoapfan]

 

I wanted Vanessa to die from the very moment I her stride into the living room wearing that stupid veil. It was way too campy for me.

[YRfan23]

Haha it was certainly campy but I feel in a gothic way. something like that today on a soap would be made way too OTT.

[Soaplovers]

It seems like Bell and Agnes Nixon did the gothic element...but were able to make it relatable and not over the top. Reilly and Ron C should have taken notes.

[vetsoapfan]

 

Well, yes. Although I found Vanessa and her veil to be too campy for my taste, it was not OUTRAGEOUSLY idiotic. I continued to watch Y&R religiously, even if I did roll my eyes at Vanessa's behavior. On the other hand, when far-less-less talented writers destroyed DAYS, GH, TGL, etc., with painfully stupid, campy crapola, I had to stop watching, in order to preserve my sanity, LOL.

[Legacy]

Who else was doing camp scenes like this on the show those days or was Vanessa's part mainly the most gothic campiest of the show at that time

[vetsoapfan]

 

The Suzanne Lynch story was pretty far-fetched and campy as well (which is why I just wanted it to end), but neither Y&R nor any of the other shows really went off the deep end until GH introduced the brain-dead Ice Princess story. (I don't count Dark Shadows, because it was a specialty soap, so to speak, and had been designed to be gothic in the first place.)
