That's great. Poor Lorie....

Those music cues were so much a part of Y&R in those days.They wormed their way into your consciousness.

Interesting that in the flasback,Jennifer was shown only from the back.Was that actually Dorothy Green or was there a double for some reason? Or was it just a directing choice to focus completely on Lorie?

Looking forward to more treasures.

YES!!! your are an angel!!! :) thank you so much!! :)

wow I knew JLB was always a good actress but she really killed it in those flashback scenes, she's also so pretty.....I truly loved the effect they do on the flashbacks back then....it's a shame how most TPTB are too ashamed to use that type of visual effect now....

Pamela Solow (right?) is also very good and I never realized how cute she was as Peggy she definitely has this innocent look that works very well....

So was this 1977-going into 1978 or 1976 going into 1977 (when they were talking about New Year Eve)

Thanks!

I always enjoy watching JLB as Lorie because while she was a very melodramatic actress, she seemed to get the emotional beats and the heart too. She does just as well in the quieter, supporting moments with Peggy as she does in those wild voiceovers and that confrontation with Jennifer (which is riveting to watch).

The scene with Jennifer is just so good. I love so many of those lines, which are so rich and histrionic and Bill Bell, like how they always said she was so different from her sisters, the "which father?", that Jennifer took her father from her, etc.

I eat stuff like this up. It's absolutely pure melodramatic glory, which no one in daytime gets now. It's about emotional connection and heart along with camp, not just some generic car crash or shooting.

JLB often reminds me of MTS in her acting style in this era. I can see why MTS took over for her.

Yes, that's why the music score was considered by so many to be a character unto itself. And that's why what Jill Phelps has done has destroyed the show more than any writing issue could. And yes, that was definitely Dorothy Green shot from the back, it was just a directing choice.

thanks again! smile.png

I'm very impressed with JLB in these scenes. I love her breakdown and Stuart's line about spanking her...the end scene was also great too...

funny how this is technically happening with Summer/Jack/Nick right now yet I find myself investing more into these Lorie/Stuart scenes I really know little about.....the acting is a lot better too obviously....

I'm excited to see the Vanessa stuff.....I wanna see if she is as creepy as everyone says...

    • Hopefully they can expand some of the sets again. I watched some 04/05 episodes and forgot how much more grand the production used to feel. I wonder if YR will be staying put or going there or somewhere else as well.
    • DAYS posted the recipe! https://www.instagram.com/p/DKiMVZvuZje/ dayspeacock June 5, 2025 Tomorrow is National Donut Day! Here’s Alice Horton’s famous recipe! #NationalDonutDay #Donuts #Recipe #DOOL #Days #Daysofourlives #TBT Ingredients: 2 eggs 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of milk 5 tablespoons melted shortening 1-teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring 4 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 stick butter, melted Cinnamon Sugar In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly. Stir in milk, shortening and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, mixing well. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes to one hour for easier handling. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Roll out or pat the dough on a lightly floured board to a half inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Place the doughnuts and holes on the baking sheet, one inch apart. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush each doughnut and doughnut holes with melted butter and roll in Cinnamon Sugar to coat all sides. Makes about 36 doughnuts. Cinnamon Sugar: 1 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, blending well.                                                                                
    • "Jordan and Robert have the best brother chemistry. " They certainly did!  And that chemistry worked no matter who served as the protagonist in a given scene or story.  A shame that a full-blown story was never developed for those two.  Wouldn't have needed to be adversarial, either.  Maybe a serious, unexpected, long-term outside threat, business or personal, to one of the brothers with the other coming to his aid.      
    • Meant to come back to this!

      I was able to find most of them. I am not sure if you did 1974-1977 but I did not find it in the 70s thread.

    • Mrs. H used the donuts to distract from the expensive jewels that she hid in the walls of her kitchen.  Now, it all makes sense...

      I thought a smart cookie like Caroline Brady would've had the chance to hide a bauble of her own from her dalliance with Victor.
    • They need to get rid of the ugly pizza set. Thanks for the info!
