This is really funny

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.

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?

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.

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!

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?

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.

      @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Xanthe · Posted

      I know we have discussed the fact that Another World seemed to be planning a location shoot in Finland that got cancelled. I came across this item from the syndicated Soapbox column published June 14, 1982. "Soap operas have been experimenting extensively with on-location shooting in recent years to enhance storylines and increase their viewing audience. A major drawback is the added production costs involved. Another World, for example, cancelled a special trip for Victoria Wyndham (Rachel Cory on the show), who was scheduled to shoot scenes in Finland. The producers felt that the high price tag, along with resentment of the cast members who also wanted to travel but were to be left behind. was enough to scrap the whole project."

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By xtr · Posted

      A few more thoughts about these last two episodes. I thought it was interesting how much disdain both Dani/Anita have for Eva. I thought it was amusing how Dani was calling her lying/conniving and how Anita pointed as if to say, "that part". They definitely are not here for her, and I could see them having harsh confrontations with her in addition to Leslie. I'm curious to see Kat's interaction with Eva on Monday's episode. I think it might be interesting if Kat (along with possibly Naomi/Chelsea) come around to Eva before Dani/Anita do. Of course, Kat will be understandably angry at her. But maybe a tiny part of her might feel sorry for her if she really does believe that she's Ted's daughter as well and that Leslie lied to her. I could see Kat confronting Eva again and warning her not to harm her family anymore. But I could also possibly see Kat admitting that what Ted/Leslie did regarding her was messed up as well. And maybe that will pave the way down the line for them to get along better. I also agree with the comments/speculation made in the threat that Nicole will eventually accept/probably love her someday as well. I still wouldn't mind if somehow Nicole ended up being her biological mother. They have both been acting like they care for each other in this storyline. Nicole somehow ending up being her mother would be soapy and provide some more interesting layers in this story. And regarding Andre/Dani's romance it seems like they are genuinely developing feelings for each other. I have missed episodes, so maybe more of this has been elaborated on. But it seemed like there was genuine affection between both of them when they snuck a kiss publicly in the hotel. And also, them both talking about going publicly with their relationship. I wonder what everyone's reactions will be should they be caught by someone together. Of if they flat out tell everyone about their relationship.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Soapsuds · Posted

      I was wondering what week it was, and it explains the low rating for Knots Landing. I was also wondering what preempted Dallas and Falcon Crest.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Interesting take on Dallas. Frankly I think the plot of JR Returns should have been the way Dallas ended but for whatever reason they thought they had the chance to get renewed for another season lol. A week later Knots’ 2 hour season finale ranked at #10 against Cheers #3 and LA Law at #5. There’s only a handful of other shows running that long and still doing well enough the ratings/rankings i.e. Gunsmoke, Law & Order, NCIS, Grey’s Anatomy and more recently Blue Bloods.    Another point of interest is the unraveling of the 80’s sitcoms had already begun in the spring of ‘91. The first part of a Who’s The Boss? two part season finale we see here ranked at  #40 and second part ranked at #43 the following week. Growing Pains finale the previous week barely made it into the Top 30. The Wonder Years fared no better. Cosby losing ground, Night Court and Dear John just being there etc.
