Does anyone maybe have a list of pre-emptations throughout the history of Y&R and are willing to share? Or if it exists somewhere online already? I am interested in other soaps too in case you know where to find this info. Thank you :)

I think there may be a list for ATWT in the canceled soaps thread.

The wonderful Loving blog has a list.

Many thanks for a quick answer! :) I will check these out!
I already have my own list based on Jason47's ratings lists, but still missing a lot of dates, so grateful for these contributions, DRW50! ;)

What date was the episode where Jack confronts Phyllis over the Phick affair in 2006?

I had gathered all of the links to those ratings here, I believe it does cover Y&R's entire run, but if you have questions, I can probably answer them 🙂

@BoldRestless thank you

Thank you @BoldRestless 😀

Some newly uploaded scenes of Jill/John during their 1995 divorce saga from June 30, 1995 (date says November 21, 95 in description which is incorrect) and also of Phyllis/Tim Reid from March 21, 1996, (Says February 20, 1996, but that's incorrect too)

Back in 2023, Y&R alum Peter Barton was interviewed for the Happy Horror Time podcast.

there's also just something so ossified, so numbing about Y&R's last few decades. The exact opposite of anything Bill Bell wanted his show to be.

Y&R hasn't been the same since John Abbott death nearly 20 years ago.

Late 80s to 90s Y&R was the golden age nothing since matched it
the magic is gone from all the remaining soaps

Y&R best eras to me were 1984-first half 1986, 1990-first half 1994, second half 1997-end 1998.

Honestly at this point I almost wish they’d just pull the plug on all four legacy soaps and air classic episodes from every decade

Sometimes the old stuff is just way better than what we’re getting now 😅

To me 1989-2001 was solid. Really loved 1989-1993 and 1998-2001 especially.

94-97 was not as great but there were some bright spots like Matt Clark, early Phyliss, Victor's shooting, and the Nathan/Keesha affair.

Summer 1994 Frat Party. Fall 1994 to Spring 1996 Nick/Sharon eat the show. Fall 1996 through first half of 1997 lull in the storylines.

The only bright spot for me was Who Shot Victor.
