Thank you for that!

No worries, and the other one I remembered. Deborah Dalton who played Cassie Burns on Days in 1980 was also on Y&R. Apparently that was her first soap role and she played a runaway. Apart from Jodie in 1977 who was apparently played by Cynthia Eilbacher (April) and Kathy Bruder who was played by Cindy Fisher, I don't know any other runaway teens on the show. Maybe she played a role during the Rose DeVille/Chris Foster white slave story.

March 1991 Re-Uploads! Cassandra's Death, Nina Shooting David and the Infamous Sheila BabySwitch!

Thanks.

I know there was a character named Brent, that Jill dated around October 1973. Also in 1973 a male photographer that wanted to take nude photos of Jill and Chris, that was sometime around Sep 1973. Maybe the actors listed played one of those characters. Not sure. Also I wasn't sure Frank's wife was ever on screen to be honest, though I have never found in depth synopsis from 1973.

The actor who played the slimy photographer who wanted to take pornographic pictures of Jill and Chris was Michael Gregory (later the first Rick Webber on General Hospital.)

Jill and Chris met in the outer office of the photography studio, and went into the interview together. Upon hearing that the photographer wanted to take nudie pictures of them, Chris announced that neither she nor Jill would be interested, and walked out, taking Jill with her. Jill went back in later, alone, however, and offered the photographer her services anyway, but he was just then getting off the phone with another model who had taken him up on his offer, so he rejected Jill's services.

What a week in episodes and it wasn't sweeps!

I just remembered. In the recasts section I posted about Sean Garrison being listed as John Abbott in 1980 in a newspaper Q&A from January 1981. As far as I am aware Brett Halsey was the only John Abbott between 1980 - 1981. This could have been an error and Sean was never on the show, but I get the feeling if he was he may have played George Packard. He was born in 1937 which would have made him 43. Brett Halsey and Jerry Douglas were born in 1933 and 1932 respectively. So Sean, if he was on the show, would have been slightly too young to play John Abbott. Also SOD only ever mention Brett from the beginning of the character's start on the show to the end.

I don't know who the actor named Sean Garrison is, exactly, but there was another John Abbott besides Brett Halsey in the early years of the show. I only remember seeing him once, however. Perhaps this was Sean Garrison, or maybe not, but it was a very temporary recast of the role of John.

Such good stuff!

DOn't think you can delete your own posts; you can just edit them blank and make a "please de,eye" comment and maybe a mod will help out...

Ugh, so today my 2nd account, Restless Bold, was terminated. There were like two episodes on there that were public and they got them. I'll make another one soon. If any of my videos upthread no longer work and you didn't save them, let me know so I can upload them again later. What a pain.

Thanks for that info. 70's Y&R had a lot of short term characters who were played by some well known soap actors. I wish I could find more synopsis for 1973.

Thanks so much for sharing everything again and again. Appreciate the effort. Why can't Sony/CBS or whoever it is just let us enjoy the show.

Also thanks YRFan23. I have been loving these uploads. I am quite surprised the episode of Nina shooting David featured so little of them, they were actually hardly in the episode at all. I guess the were on most of the week so there was a big build up.

BoldRestless, I'm so sorry to hear that! That is so frustrating... Don't Y&R/SONY have more important things to do than pull such old vids? I'll never be able to wrap my mind around this issue.

YRfan, those episodes are amazing. I wasn't too sold on the Danny trial drama. He's okay but he's no leading man material IMO. I don't understand his popularity but I guess he had what it took for that particular era.

The baby switch ordeal was phenomenal. I loved how they played every single beat. I had to chuckle at Sheila looking for a 'Natalie Minard'... given that Natalie Minardi has been a staple member of the writing team for several years.

Nina's reaction to David's shooting was not what you would expect. I really loved it.

Boy, was Jack coming across as a sloppy second to Victor. Poor guy, he just has no sexual chemistry with anyone.

I have a question, how did Sheila manage to hide her fake belly during her fake pregnancy? I mean, wasn't she living with Scott back then? And he would never see her naked when she started showing? I'm a little sketchy on the details of that story, also I have other eppys to catch up with.

Michael Gregory's character was Jerry Frazier[74] He must have been the creepy photographer.

A few more characters I'm trying to find actor that played them:

1979: George Remley, son of Nell

1982: Gloria, a friend of Diane Jenkins that dated John Abbott before Jill

Dr. Cardwell[Caldwell} Vanessa Prentiss' doctor

P.I. Wagner

1983: Marian Cooper, diner owner that Victor worked for to prove to Nikki? he wasn't afraid of manual labor.

Tom, the man that got Patty her gun.

1984: Jim Glidden, who had an affair with Melissa Daros.

Robert Glidden, his brother looking for his killer.

Peter and Nasha, who saved Rick when Melissa Daros died.

Thanks for any help!

So I was wondering what would everyone here define Y&R's golden age? Just curious as I've seen it broken so many different ways but I'd personally say both 1974-1979 and circa 1986-1994 are both worthy of the title.
