Michael Crawford was basically Jill's on/off lover in the late 80s while being the town lawyer at the same time(most notably to help Skip and Carol out with adoption) basically in role similar to which John Silva played in the mid-90s but I never knew Jill actually wanted to marry Michael like this. With John Silva I think her biggest thing was having him spend Christmas with her and Billy in what, 1995 or 1996?

Hard to believe from those nice scenes that Phillip was doomed not long after this too.

I enjoyed those Victor and Ashley scenes too. Braeden and Epperson had good chemistry and I think it well represented the more seasoned relationship Victor and Epperson's Ashley had as opposed to the starry-eyed relationship between Victor and Davidson's Ashley. Not to knock Braeden and Davidson who I did adore together myself, but that's how I could best describe it as.

Yeah I remember the clips of Brenda Jill trying to make Michael jealous during his date with the infamous Mandy Krimper. I just never knew it became so serious. I wonder what happened between them during 1988. I guess I should go read the recaps again.

I always feel bad when the music mutes the video when other Countries try to watch them. I remember Canada never really was able to hear some parts of the episodes because of music, then one video I uploaded was completely muted because of a song they played during Neil and Dru's honeymoon montage.

It's totally ridiculous. I don't even understand it, because a lot of current artists' entire albums are uploaded to youtube (where it is easy to save as an mp3). I can see banning that, but 20 seconds of a song in the middle of a soap clip is good advertising! I know, I know, youtube does it automatically and can't differentiate, but it sucks.

It's just one of the many things that make me scratch my head about youtube....

BTW I'm trying to get 2 more episodes on here, but for some reason they are taking a long time to process, they are basically finished uploading but for some reason the processing is taking forever .

We seriously need to get behind why CBS has become so anal about anything classic Y&R being uploaded. They have now made Kayden delete his Y&R videos, and he set all his old Days episodes to private!

    • The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

    • Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.
    • I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.
    • I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.
    • Some kind soul has uploaded all three seasons of Once and Again (1999-2002) starring Sela Ward and Billy Campbell.  Season One

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this
