Members Broderick Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Right I don't think anyone specifically "said" he was at the office; they just didn't mention him at all, until his "tragic death." But for those of us who occasionally wondered where he was, I believe we were to assume he was "at the office". Of course we assumed Carl Williams was "at the office" for 7 or 8 years, and lo and behold, he was presumed dead, had been adequately grieved by his loved ones, and was living in Norfolk. Probably. Bill Bell seemed to like the actor, but the Gina/Neil/Joanna storyline wasn't very riveting, and it was mainly about Lauren. Bell probably figured Neil Fenmore had outlived his usefulness and dropped him to recurring, with no offense to Jim Storm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Maybe. It seems from his B&B (phase out) exit and some Soap Opera Update (?) article that Jim Storm was a freespirited character - and lived in Arizona in a kind of artist community with his wife and many kids. So maybe he was okay with leaving LA and the acting scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 From what I have seen of him on Y&R, B&B and TD I would not place Jim Storm on my list of favorites. Something about his stern persona doesn't resonate with me. A good actor for sure, but... Joanna and Dina were cut from the same cloth. It would have been so nice to see Joanna there. I'm sure Susan would have been willing. So Fen is now gay? What? Zach must be wondering why he is the go to gay on Sony soaps. Is there any point to it? Very much doubt Y&R are interesting in bringing back gay Fen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 He appeared at least once in 1986. I knew the actor from B&B -which started first in Greece- and I was happy to see another familiar face. I definitely remember him on the phone with Lauren. Telling her that he is leaving for a business trip or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexGrimaldi Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) In the 90s, after his BB exit, Jim Storm lived for a few years in Italy. The show was so huge at the time. He tried to do the fashion designer. I remember him appearing on a talk show about pranotherapy.

Members Broderick Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Unless it's the always present Budget Crisis, I'm not sure why Mrs. Manning didn't pop in. Gloria was there, so instant dramatic possibilities would have ensued. Fen quietly "turned gay" off-screen, without a shred of conflict, so we'll probably never see him again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoldRestless Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) The Joanna clip is probably from around the time of this recap, but I don't think it's covered in any available episodes or clips. Recaps also say that Joanna hadn't seen Lauren in 7 years, that she saw Lauren's photo in a rock magazine, and Lauren was shocked when she spotted Joanna in the audience at her concert. She also learned that Joanna had gone on to have another daughter who died young. FEBRUARY 11, 1985 - FEBRUARY 17, 1985 The Young and the Restless:Lauren told Paul that she once overheard Joanna voice a wish that Lauren had never been born.

Members Broderick Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 As cheesy as the music video is, just think how it'd look if they shot it in 2023. They'd have to film it in the empty lobby of the Grimy Phallus, and the preview screening would be in Crimson Lights. The director would be mute, so they wouldn't have to pay him for speaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Thanks... wow there is a LOT happening here, haha! Danny and Lauren are singing "Against all odds" and they don't sound as bad as they usually do. This is based on the Phil Collins song of the same name, specifically created for the Jeff Bridges movie of the same name. I haven't seen the movie but it does involve gambling/casinos, so maybe that's why their vid had that going on as well. Danny reflected in Lauren's sunglasses was 80s iconic! I appreciated the diversity of the dancers. This clip must be July '84 b/c Patty looks super-pissed, so this must be right after she found out about Danny and Traci's marriage. Ken the manager is living his best life and is not "reading the room" at all that some people in the room don't seem so happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yeah, she doesn't sound too bad here and in that other clip. They did right by her. It could have been a lot worse. I was wondering why there was a casino! At first, I thought they were trying to segue to Michael and Lauren's engagement clip. So glad they showed the entire video. Was that Nathan dancing (standing) with Amy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Here's the same clip on facebook video (in case the youtube is geo-blocked) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 Good catch, I didn't notice that was Amy! I pulled up the full-screen vid on my big monitor, and that is not Nathan. I think Nathan doesn't debut until later in '84 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted January 25, 2023 Members Share Posted January 25, 2023 I almost said it could have been the original Nathan who was supposedly played by Forrest Whitaker, but I forgot Nathan doesn’t appear till the fall I think and is part of the mob story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
