Thank You for more Leslie/Lorie/Lance/Lucas. I noticed the dark haired child actor playing Brooks here was cast to look like Victoria Mallory, but then they aged him and recast with blonde Andre Gower to look like Dennis Cole.

This was prior to the Gala Ball, so that explains why Lorie wanted to stick it to Leslie again. I think it would have made more sense and drama for Lucas to of been the one to walk into the ball with Lorie on his arm instead of that fake accented creep.

Yes, luckily the entire run of Y&R remains preserved in the archives, but since they are not going to let us see those vintages episodes any time soon, if ever, the rare episodes that fans still have are indeed precious to me, LOL.

Most of my stuff from the mid-1980s forward is also in pretty decent shape. Unfortunately, my favorite era of many soaps (Y&R, AW, OLTL, TEON, etc.) was during the 1970s, and my tapes from that era are not holding up so well.

Thank God for folks like you and other generous fans who share your material on youtube.

Oh, that reminds me: a poster named coffeegulper905 has been uploading the entire series of the 1960s soap opera PEYTON PLACE onto youtube, and the quality is great. I'll have to post about it in the PP thread on the Cancelled Soaps forum. He's already up to episode 388 (out of 514)

Ahhh, old soaps are great!

You may want to tell that person to take Petyon Place out of the title, as it may get taken down otherwise.

Can't wait to see the Y&R clip alphanguy. Thanks.

So, vetsoapfan, that means the HTSAM finale didn't transfer and is gone now? Well, at least you tried.

Hi, DRW50,

Yes, I have sent the PP uploader a PM, politely suggesting that he change the titles of his vids to something else, in order to avoid being targeted for deletion. It would be difficult to know what to call the episodes, however; it would need to be something that TPTB wouldn't notice, yet recognizable to the fans so that WE could search for the vids. "The Constance, Mike, Allison and Rodney Saga," perhaps.

As for HOW TO SURVIVE, the audio was salvageable, at least, so there's that. Better than nothing.

Bill Bell's anti-drug PSAs - at least he took it seriously. I will say they got the casting just right for Julie's boyfriend. He's a smarmy jerk but he's just cute enough and just enough of a bad boy for someone who is insecure to give in for him.

I was surprised they actually had someone surprised to get a phone call from famous Danny. Usually his fame was just limited to trials or concert tours - most people he'd talk to or encounter in his "normal" life didn't react that way. It's too bad they didn't have the boy say something like, "Yeah right, like that [!@#$%^&*] douchebag would call me."

DRW50 thanks for the awesome Dina & Jill clip. I was watching this as a kid and loved their confrontations. Marla Adams needs to be back on Y&R as head of the Abbott clan NOW . Brenda was her same ole crazy campy self here.

I remember one time Jill was going to redecorate and she said she wanted to get rid of all this old stuff and that it was outdated just like Dina.

Thanks for posting the latest Lorie clip. Love JLB with the longer hair. This Leslie/Lorie confrontation was better than the last (where Lorie learned Leslie was pregnant with Lance's baby) and it was nice to see Leslie play the piano.

I've come to the conclusion I'm not a fan of Dennis Cole as Lance. I prefer the little over seen of John McCook.

And the background music! Love the cue they played in the first five minutes during the Leslie and Loroe scene.

      Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her?

      On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?

      Ratings from the 70's

      Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out).

      I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.

      Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.

      I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.

      B&B: Moving out of Television City Location

      Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.

      That means full-on budget mode.
