I think there might be a couple October 1989 episodes, that you haven't seen yet.

I admit I do miss reading comments that were left on my old videos from passnum1. I actually have tried to google my own videos just to see if there might be any sites that have the link to my videos with the comments, but no luck! :(

Watching these two new episodes (well, new to me).

They really did take a great deal of planning to set up David going to woo Nina and losing all interest in Jill. She treats him like [!@#$%^&*]. it seems like they once had a fun or gossipy relationship but she changed and never let him change with her. He was on with Brenda, right? I can't remember. I wonder how different they were.

I love when Rex tries to get Jill to wake the hell up about her John delusions and Jill blasts him. He just grins and grins.

Esther going to work for Nina always screams of plot point to me, to the point where I keep forgetting it wasn't all some trick from Nina. Esther venting about having to wear that uniform until she can't bend over anymore made me laugh, as that has turned out to be true. So she met Tiny at Nina's place? She mentioned a plumber.

Is it me or is that husky-voiced niece of Cassandra's (Brittany) exactly Victor's type? Maybe not in those years, but later on. I wonder why the show never found any role for her once the story was over. I can't say I am a big fan, but she could have gone somewhere.

I remember you hadn't watched those yet.....glad you finally saw them.

David was with Brenda as there are some clips still out there somewhere I believe.......I don't think it was ever clear if Jill being turned off by David was because of Jess's acting or not.....the following year I know she was completely through with him as I have the episodes to support that (which haven't been released yet)

I liked the Jill and Rex scene too.....Jess will always be one of the best actresses ever on Y&R, but I have to admit as much as I want to enjoy Jill these days, I cannot get through a scene without cringing......too much damage has been done to Jill for me to even believe that Jess could act the way she use to as Jill nearly 25 years ago......it already doesn't help that her hair and wardrobe has been a hot mess for the past 10 years already.

Brittany always strikes me as offbeat casting.....I wonder if Bill could have made her Sheila......or at least write her in a similar matter.

what did you think of the Carl and Mary scenes? I knew Carolyn Conwell was a great actress as meddling Mary, but I haven't seen alot of emotional performances like the one she does here.....I miss her and Jeanne Terribly sad.png

I thought the Mary and Carl scenes were terrific. I can understand why some people were in disbelief that Carl and Paul didn't tell Mary, but it clearly led to some great drama. Mary's hurt and anger, and Lynne's pain - terrific, human drama. I feel sorry for Carl too, having to put on such a cold front, even telling Lynne he might take over Paul's office himself (as an excuse to keep it open).

David is so slimy - I guess Nina's self-esteem issues blinded her.

I can't figure out what's going on with Leanne and Douglas. Is she manipulating him? Is she really attracted to him?

Poor Lauren just never fits in with Mary, even when trying to console her.

Cool! I remember this, it was the infamous GALA. (I think it was in 2004) Back then, Brittany Hodges was still on the show so they probably did not want to confuse viewers. Or maybe they just didn't care.

Judging from YRfan's vids, I like Brittany! I think she fits just right in Y&R's glamourus type of woman.

Yeah me either! What's the deal with them? Douglas looks like a delusional scumbag around her LOL And she was giving him the worst looks possible in the dinner episode with Nikki. Leanna cracks me up!

    • 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.

    • 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
