Y&R: Old Articles

Still no fan of Nick, but I appreciate how grateful Joshua Morrow is for his 30 years at YR

I auditioned for Nick when I was 19, got started at 20, so I still lived at home, and I didn’t really know how it worked. My mom made me a lunch and I went off to work and prepared for what I thought was a 16-hour workday. And I just happened to be first up that day with Heather Tom and had four scenes with her. That was when we started at 7:30 a.m. Well, we were done at 8:15. I was like, “Well, what do I do now?” They’re like, “Dude, you go home.” So, I got in my little black Nissan pickup and drove home. I lived maybe 45 minutes from the studio, and I walked in the house at, like, 9 a.m. and my mom’s like, “What happened? Did you get fired?” And I’m like, “No, I’m done for the day. I had four scenes and the girl’s great. She’s, like, the best actress I’ve ever seen in my life.” It’s rarely like that, but I will never forget my mom thinking that I was going to get fired day one.

I'm glad he praised Heather. I can't watch her on B&B but I still miss her on Y&R.

Did Josh have any acting experience before Y&R?

It must be pretty daunting to be plunged head first into that environment. Hopefully his co actors were supportive.

He says he auditioned at 19. His birthday is Feb 4 1974. So were they auditioning in Jan/Feb for a June debut?

Anyone know the air date when Esther & Miguel went on a date?

[yrfan1983]

I remembered that Joshua M was off-screen for a few months, I think it was 2007? On-screen, Nick’s plane crashed, and he was thought dead…? Until JM’s contract dispute was resolved.

There were multiple contract disputes around that time. Definitely Eric Braeden circa 2009 where he was offscreen. Also MTS I think…?

Interesting we don’t hear about that these days… an actor and their soap in a stand-off over compensation. I imagine soap actors’ contract are now cut down to the bone.

@yrfan1983 MTS had a contract dispute in 2001 where she apparently cleaned out her dressing room and Nikki was sent to Brazil on a research trip for Jabot.

JM 2007 contract dispute had Nick presumed dead in a plane crash and it was rumored that Y&R had Galen Gering in line as a possible Nick recast.

EB 2009 contract dispute had Victor sent to a medical clinic after his heart transplant and he made a goodbye video for Faith.

The explanation Of Carl's disappearance

1984: Luke and Robert were looking for treasure

 

Also 84: Jill does not know if John or Jack is the father of her baby and killed the baby on top of the ladder.

 

Yea Y&R seems more edgy

Yea John was cold toward her at times in the early 80s.

Paul and Christine FTW

 

I would not have minded Vic and Cricket if done right. Cricket was maturing this time.

 

LOL what about Michael?

Please

Maybe some new vintage clips? Cricket and Danny meet, 6/25/84

Hm, that might be a new clip! At first I thought it was from the 6/27/84 classic episode (Beth Maitland's Emmy reel) because that one does start off with Danny and Cricket at Gina's, but I don't recognize this scene in there. There is a clip of them meeting at Jabot on 6/25/84 from another one of the clipfests, so this one is probably from them arriving at Gina's on 6/25 or 6/26!

Haha same - this must be circa Dec 89 when Nikki was briefly engaged to Scott’s father Jim…maybe a fantasy sequence?

[YRfan23]

Yeah but Peter Barton had longer hair then, and this screams mid-80s? Maybe it was one of those Daytime/primetime mesh up photoshoots they did? With MTS being the daytime star and Peter B was promoting one of his prime time series at the time?
