I can't believe that Jack is still stringing Mari Jo along as of 12/20/94! And letting her still wear the engagement ring. After he has welcomed Keemo as his son, and had this grand party to introduce Luan to the Abbotts.

I used to have the impression that she was the "villain" for keeping Jack and Luan apart, but now I'm Team #MariJo. 

(though she does gets points deducted for keeping Rick's return from the dead a secret...)

PS how can Sharon be on recurring when Matt and Amy are on contract...?

I decided to check the vault and found an episode from 1980 I’d never seen. It has Bond Gideon as Jill and lots of great scenes with Jill/Liz and the Williams family. It was nice seeing a full episode with Bond so I can get a better feel for her Jill. I feel like Deborah Adair makes perfect sense following Bond in the role. They have a similar look, voice and feel but Adair has more of a leading lady spark. 
 

Also stunned at just how good the quality of this episode is. I wonder where this was sourced from.

That ep (6/16/80) is partially thanks to Bond Gideon's husband! He is a member of a Vintage YR group on Facebook, and over the past years, he's been reaching out trying to find any eps featuring Bond. He said back in the 80s, Bond had VHS tapes she recorded of her appearances, but that an ex-boyfriend took the tapes

A few years back, Bond's husband helped to secure the 4/14/80 and 6/16/80 eps. Don't know exactly what the source was.

I never forgot when Katherine mentioned to Phillip that Chance was raised by Ryan, which stunned me because the show acted as if he hadn't existed for years.

Don't get me started when I believe Nina was Phillip's cheerleader when Phillip saw a cute guy, I want to say, at Crimson Lights. And after only a few weeks of her being upset, he abandoned her with a young child; she was acting as his wing person.

    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point. 
    • At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.
    • I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space. 
    • Errol posted that Ed Scott retired
