Y&R: Old Articles

[DRW50]

 

With Y&R you never know what or why, you just know it's a mess. Jeanne Cooper I think once said MTS did not speak to her for 3 years and she never knew why.

JC wrote about the beef w/ MTS in her memoir and

The bigger question is, who didn't have beef w/ MTS? There's beef that's been documented in print/on social media (JC, VR) and beef that's been rumored (BD, RL).

MTS and Brenda?

 

I shouldn't be surprised, I guess.

Well BD had beef w/ almost everyone LOL. I recall that BD was quite vocal about the nepotism at Y&R in the mid to late 1980s so maybe that's where the rumors of beef w/ MTS come from.

It will be interesting to see if MTS addresses any of these castmate issues in her upcoming book...

 

According to Jeanne. Ed Scott seemed to fuel this by focussing way too much on Melody in setting up of scenes and ignoring Jeanne also.

I have always wondered about that. She states Melody just stopped talking to her one day and then suddenly just started up again like it was nothing, I am certain she also implied it was during the same time Kay and Nikki stopped sharing scenes together during the 80's and I wonder if it had to do with JC's drinking issue. I can imagine MTS having a low tolerance for it, even if Jeanne was functioning and doing no harm to anyone but herself.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Ed Scott and Melody Thomas Scott had no business working on the same show.  When it was clear that the two were going to marry, either Ed or Melody should have been let go.

This was brilliant! Thank you so much! A few observations I had with this episode, some which I will put in spoiler tags for those who don’t want to know what happens:

 

• This was the first time I had ever seen Terry Lester and Brenda Epperson together in an episode - my previous exposure to Y&R had only been seeing Peter Bergman with Brenda, and then Peter with Eileen, and then of course through the wonders of Youtube, Terry and Eileen (let’s not mention Shari). I found the chemistry to be somewhat believable and I could imagine it would have been tough for Brenda to step into Eileen’s shoes almost straight away.
• Terry was wearing glasses A LOT in some of his later years on Y&R. Was he having any health issues at this point?
• Also on Terry, all I could picture with his glasses and goatee was the striking resemblance to Colonel Sanders and expected him to spring out an ad for KFC at any moment.

LOL, is this the demon picture of Sharon that CBS SID ran back in 2009 predicting she was becoming possessed?

Didn't Phyllis do that (deface a photo) or am I mixing something up?

[soapfan770]

I think you’re right-I think it appeared on screen in early 2010 when an episode devoted to Sharon having nightmares aired.
