Wow, so awesome!  thanks so much and a big welcome too!

Could they have not rebuilt both sets like what they're doing now with the Newman Ranch? As someone mentioned the Abbott living room and Sharon's cottage are still there.

Gina’s was also destroyed to make way for the GCAC.

I remember the episode posted above because the Rawlins' house was redressed as Kurt's old house but it was still obviously the same place.

Is Kurt's neighbor Helen Miller the same actress who later played Rebecca Kaplan, Brad's mother?

Thank you for the welcome  And I'm glad you enjoyed the episodes.  I am going to try and source more.  I think I have some partials from 1989 in French that aren't in the Vault.  I will have a look.

Thank you

Welcome @YRFAN90 How long have you been watching?

It was a great storyline overall, but I had a few issues. Nikki moved on from Josh's death far too quickly, which felt unrealistic. Marrying Victor on her deathbed was overly dramatic and didn’t make much sense. As for the final showdown with Sarah in the barn, the story ended so abruptly. After terrorizing Nikki for so long, Sarah was killed off far too quickly, leaving the resolution feeling rushed and unsatisfying.

Hi all!!
So does anyone by chance know if we’re any closer to the entire series becoming available for streaming? Has anyone heard anything? It’s such a shame we can’t watch the full series currently, especially since we know for SURE every single episode has been saved from day one until now. I really only watch the first 11 years of the show where and when I can. I’m so hoping one day we can get the full series on a streaming platform or even on their official YouTube channel like B&B has been doing for a while now. That first decade was GOLD from what I’ve read and seen.

Thank you for the welcome.  I have been watching for about 15 to 20 years but have watched a lot of the older episodes from predominately the 80s and 90s.   I prefer watching the classics sometimes

I would absolutely love to see it from the very beginning.  I don't see why they won't release them with the fact all of them have been saved.  Here's hoping one day they will

What's Behind The Unveiling? BY DICK KLEINER HOLLYWOOD -

The world of soap operas is a strange and uncanny place, full of odd behavior that defies rational explanation. And that's why the devoted audience of CBS' "The Young and the Restless" never batted an eye when Vanessa Prentiss took off her veil. Vanessa Prentiss is one of the fixtures of the soap opera, and one of Vanessa's fixtures has been her veil, giving her an air of mystery. Supposedly, she was once badly scarred in an accident and, ever since she first started on the show, Vanessa has worn her veil. Vanessa is playedby K.T. Stevens, an actress of beauty and charm and talent—and no need for a veil. Things move very.slowly on soap operas, and Vanessa has been going to a plastic surgeon for those scars for a long time. And now the veil is off—and K.T. Stevens isn't quite sure what that means to her future.

Soap opera actors often look for clues like that to get an advance hint about whether their characters will continue or be written out. And K.T. is curious now. Does the fact that the veil is gone hold any significance to her future state of employment? Or will it simply be something that is soon forgotten? She wants.to stay. She likes working, and says that being on a soap opera is the-best possible job for an actress who enjoys working. "Soap operas," she says, "give you the feeling that you are always employed, which I like. And even on days when your character is not on the show, you can relax at home, knowing that you are not unemployed, merely off for a day or two."

This, as it happens, is K.T.'s fourth soap ""opera. She was on "General Hospital" for about a year—and was finally written out when her lover, a drug addict, went off to a hospital for a cure and she went along. And she was on a flop opera, one of the few of the genre that didn't make it. It was called "Paradise Bay," and she wasn't written out of that one, it just collapsed around her. So you can understand her trepidation about what the unveiling of Vanessa Prentiss might mean- to her job situation. K.T. Stevens isn't the only one in her family working in a soap opera. Her former husband, Hugh Marlowe, has been a mainstay of "Another World" for seven years. And their son, Chris, is now a regular on "Love of Life." She has always wanted to "act. She grew up in Hollywood, where her father, ihe late Sam.Wood, was a distinguished

Thanks for sharing! God, how I hate condescending, "soap operas are weird" articles like that one!

[BoldRestless]

Since she obviously planted that story, would have been nice if she'd mentioned something she liked about the show other than the paycheck.
