So somebody that’s in a classic Y&R group that I’m in posted a couple days ago that they emailed the SONY archives and asked if the entire Y&R series exists in their archive and if they ever plan on streaming the show. He got a reply from them stating yes, the entire series is in their archive and they also are considering streaming the entire series. That’s definitely a step in the right direction because before this, I thought they’d had no plans to stream it whatsoever!

Do you guys think they’d really do it??

I’d literally pass out

Let’s hope so!!!

I hope they’re not just being nice either LOL.

 

Maybe we all just need to flood SONY’s archive email address with questions and/or requests surrounding streaming the entire series. If enough of us do it, they’d have to give more consideration than they have been and see there’s really a market for it!

I'm watching the 1982 partial episodes. Really fascinated by the atmosphere, the tone, the lights and how the music was really meaningful in every single scene. Bill Bell and Wes Kenney knew how to do a very refined tv show. The Victor-Lorie relationship was writter and played very well. While she played cat and mouse with Victor, trying nicely to obtain the key to destroy his reputation and give back Prentiss Industries to Lance, he wanted to get her interested in him, the only woman he wasn't able to distress or seduce or understand well. Their relationship is written like a dance. As Douglas Austin said: 'Lorie is devious and dangerous and mysterious. She is acting like a character of a spy story'.

Storytelling is a fine art. Even a simple storyline can be written full of nuances and key scenes. As a viewer, I'm stuck to this kind of storyline, where characters are compelling and not a parody of themselves. YR was so mesmerizing back then.

It's an ability that nowadays often lacks in daytime writers.

This type of scene is missing from Y & R, and other soap operas nowadays.

When you had a character from the haves (Katherine) meeting a character that wasn't a have not, but fighting for their piece of the pie (Ms. Love).

And on that subject of a Have meeting a character working to get a piece of the pie...here was Victor and Drucilla's 1st meeting.

    • Yes, and by the time the 2000's rolled around Katherine was a saint and a dynamic business women. Hard to connect with the drunken lush isolated in her mansion of the 70's.
    • For once, I agree with Maurice.  AMC and OLTL had seen better days, IMO, but to assume that the audience would stick around for "The Revolution" or "The Chew" was pure hubris on the network's part.
    • It is funny to think of how the character of Philip II, and the recasting of Jill, really changed the trajectory of Kay.  One assumes she would've mellowed with time, naturally.  But, as someone who started Y&R @ 1986 (when Brad married Traci), I rarely associate Kay with her more venomous past.
    • At Santa Barbara I think she inherited a very strong structure. I also think it's the first time she exhibited the Peter Principle & was promoted just one step above her level of assured competence. If she'd stayed in Music Production I guarantee you she'd have more awards & also a stellar rep.  Oh, we totally agree then.  Betty Rea GL 1970-1996 & at 82 she died 12-23-99. Worked for the show for 26 years. Shorter time at ATWT. GL had no casting director from 1996 till 1999 when  Rob Decina came on board. (He found Tom Pelphrey at college in NJ.) he was 1999-2009, so bitter ender.  Jill GL 1989-1994, so I would guess that Betty was pretty tired & Jill just ran over her, which probably made her last years miserable because this lady was legendary! All years from imdb which CAN be wrong. 
    • I'm not sure I agree with that either.
    • I think the Ralph story was a one of those Kay redemption stories that came up every so often where she would vow to make better choices. I guess Ralph appeared at the mansion for work and was friendly towards Kay and Liz encouraged it.  There would have been a bit of comedy with haughty Kay attempting to relate to down to Earth Ralph. How it was resolved I don't know. Maybe as simple as Kay announcing she wasn't interested? Did Liz and Kay ever interact until Jill got pregnant/Phillip's death? I don't think so and at that point they would not have been friendly. Liz very much knew her place in dealing with the likes of Kay Chancellor.
    • i've never seen any videos of this ivan! if anyone finds any id love to see haha if anyone has any of the videos from the 1984 plots besides the couple clips on youtube i'd love to see those too !
