Members will81 Posted March 8, 2013 Members Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) True. I also think Bell wrote from a patriarchal point of view sometimes. Maybe he wished for the closeness with his own daughter when she was grown, was LLB born when Y&R started? The Brock/Lorie thing intrigues me, they had a fling in Europe (offscreen) and she tried to tempt him back into bed, but he had found god. I think it was one of those minor flirtations Bell seem to do a lot. Would be interesting to see those scenes. As they had no interaction (from memory) during her guest appearance at Nikki and Victor's wedding in 1984, I could be wrong and it would seem odd if they didn't. Y&R did extremely well in the first year for a show not being broadcast in many places initially. Off hand Carl I heard Bryna Laub disliked the show, while most of the soap press seemed to applaud it. Do you know why?

Members JackPeyton Posted March 8, 2013 Members Share Posted March 8, 2013 Just saw the brittany talk from earlier, man i loved her. She was such a great layered character that I felt worked really well both in supporting and lead, with her age group & with holder, in drama or comedy. Its a shame she is gone. I heard Lauren Woodland went to law school. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I think LLB was a small child around the time Y&R started, as he named Lorie after her. Not sure about Laub. The soap press generally did seem to like Y&R from the bits I've read. It seemed like something of a bridge between ATWT and AMC, which were both very polarizing to the soap press. Sometimes when I look at Tom Hallick I think he's Tom Selleck. Edited March 8, 2013 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted March 8, 2013 Members Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks for the article, Carl. It was a great read. It makes me want to see those episodes even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2013 Me too. Since they're all available I hope someone will release them someday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks for the article Carl. It's a shame that Y&R did away with those sets. I think the Forrester house on B&B is the Brooks home set with the windows and doors changed. I always thought it would have been interesting that after the ranch burned, they had Victor buy the old Brooks home and he and Nikki live there. That new place Victor built has no class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I never knew that about the Brooks place. That would have made far more sense (your idea) than what was onscreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I found a SoapCity Q&A with Jack Smith. I can't find the link right now and it did not have a date, but given his comments, it was a few months before he was fired from Y&R and LML took over, 2005/early 2006. Anyway, he talks about J.T. and Colleen being his favorite contemporary story and then goes on to say when asked there were no plans to bring Colleen back although they talked about it for a few minutes. Next he praises Rachel Kimsey as Mac, saying how she had become the character and worked really well with J.T. RME. AB was fired right? I vaguely remember a controversy over her firing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 Not that it would have mattered to me if AB had not been fired, I did not like that J.T./Mac pairing period. I had thought that she would be Daniel or horrible Kevin. I could have lived with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think it also might have had to do with her hours in med school, I'm not sure though. It's kind of weird to think the only one from that group who is still around is Kevin. Not a fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) I am always going on about Kevin outliving all those much more enjoyable, stronger, and better younger characters. Only mediocre Lily is still around. It goes to show how soaps are mostly run by idiots. Edited March 11, 2013 by Ann_SS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 The Brooks house and Forrester mansion are two completely different sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
