Thanks!

I mixed up Chris with Trish (the first actress to play the role of Chris Brooks. By the way, this one is the second actress).

If John McCook as Lance Prentiss appeared for the last time in may 1980, these scenes should be early 1980. I wonder why Lance and Lorie were having a so heated argument. He seems very upset and she seems very sad in the last gif.

So cute! It kills me that someone recorded the promos, but never the episodes. I think Nikki is wearing the outfit from when she met with Rose in December 1979 to set up the rendezvous with Walter Addison.

 

Isn't the blonde in the second gif Leslie with her hair blonde as "Priscilla."

In February 1980, Lorie was forced by Vanessa to divorce Lance, supposedly for his own good. Vanessa was going to reinstate him at Prentiss only if she divorced him. He had been very depressed losing his place to Lucas. I really hate those stories where people who love each other get a divorce due to external causes (also done with Leslie/Brad and Lauren/Paul).

Ciao!

I thought the same, that the blond was Leslie in disguise due to her amnesia.

If those scenes are from december 1979, 10 months of full episodes aired in Italy before that promo. So I suppose italian episodes started from US february 1979 episodes (just right when Melody Thomas Scott debuted as Nikki).

Just read the last part, thanks.

So in 1980 she chose Lance's well-being and his leading position at Prentiss Industries instead of her own happiness in love. Ironically 2 years later Lance lost the company due to a Lorie's mistake. She was played by Victor. Eventually she managed to give the company back to Lance. Her last love gift to him before leaving Genoa City.

Of course-like Leslie I had a memory lapse.

The selfless sacrifice story always strikes me as an easy writer cop out eg Brad not telling Les he is going blind, Lorie telling Lance she no longer loves him to give him back Prentiss etc.

With  a little more thought and imagination the story could have progressed without characters looking like idiots.

As for Leslie/Pris that story was a bomb from the get go. There was enough intrigue with the 4L's without sending Leslie off on this tangent.

Does everyone know about the Lilyan Chauvin interviews on Youtube, circa 1989-91?

LC played Pierre's sister Marianne from '73-74 and then Kay and Esther's captor Lil from '89-90.  LC was also a UCLA professor and did these celebrity interviews as educational for young people looking to get into showbiz.

Here's the overall playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNgU0a9tCKImJPwhT8H9icpRIPU3t8L1i

 

YR people on the list...

- Robert Clary: this was my favorite. What a life he led. He talks the most about YR, and Days too. I didn't know LC also played his sister on Days. Per Jason47's website, she played "Suzanne" on Days from 79-80.

- Morey Amsterdam: this interview was probably filmed right after Morey and Lil finished their stint on YR.  Another guy with a fascinating career.

- Christopher Templeton: what a delightful lady. Barely talks about YR, though.

- Jeanne Cooper: also barely talks about YR and has quite a few stream-of-consciousness monologues

 God love her

There's also a Lee Phillip Bell interview but she only talks about BnB so I'll post it there.

I've been meaning to ask... anyone know this actress who appeared on the May 29-30, 1990 episodes? Rex grabs her out of the hallway because he and Jill need a witness for their wedding. She looks so familiar.

I believe this is Pat Crawford Brown!  
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0114390/?ref_=tt_cst_t_12

She also appeared again later in the show in 1996 as the flower seller, Nathan buys flowers from, before he gets run over. 

I think she's been in a lot of movies and shows as a character actress, she also played one of the choir nuns in "Sister Act"

LOL i totally missed that connection with "My Guy"  "Sister Act" is lowkey a favorite movie of mine too! 

on IMDB, it says she appeared on the show throughout 1998-2000 as well. She was always somebody you just saw in every movie and tv show at some point, like that other older actress I can't think of, but it's also somebody who was on Y&R as well too.

This clip is probably already around but at about 20 minutes Chevy Chase shows a short clip of Tom Selleck as Jed Sanders and Tom then briefly talks about the show.

(trigger warning for Chevy Chase)

    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • 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.
    • You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.
    • 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.  
    • 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."  
    • 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.
