Y&R: Old Articles

[YRfan23]

Too bad we can never get like a Jason 47 type of site that has all of Y&R's preemptions.

This site however has all the ones from 2000-early 2010 though.

Would love if we had a Jason47 type of site for all the other soaps

I found a disc I saved of these 1995 episodes:

August 21

October (3 - undated)

December 4

December 7

Are any of these the ones you wanted to see?

[YRfan23]

cool! August 21, was one of my episodes, and I also uploaded an October 10, 1995 episode....don't know which are the 2 other October dates....

I think I saw December 4th, but not December 7th...

I would kill to see more vintage Y&R episodes from the show's first several years (1973-79) when it was at its peak. If only TPTB would release the series of DVD.

[YRfan23]

They will when the show finally gets cancelled, in 2073....

I'm trying to edit down the December episodes, as a lot of it is (Australian) commercials. I think the last episode is also incomplete...or at least what I download/saved was.

Then I'll try to figure out how to join clips...

Someone reuploaded the October 15 and November 20 1987 episodes, right? I have that and some "Jill's Men's Line" clips that used to be on GenoaCityGuy's channel before it was taken down. (I think they used to have even more but I don't think I saved all of it...)

This is the first episode I had downloaded. I'm not sure if they never put up the end or they did and i lost it, but the last segment is missing. The first Nathan/barfly scene had a song that I had to take out. If it seems choppy, my apologies - I manually recorded each segment so I could take out all the commercials, to save upload time and in case they had anything that would get flagged.

Well at least I've learned how to join videos, so that's an accomplishment, I suppose.

Never mind - it looks like the wrong segment went up at the end.

I'll do it again. Sorry about this mess.

I think I got it this time, if anyone still wants to deal with this. Sorry. I'll try to get the other few episodes up over the next few days, if they aren't already available.

Thanks so much! you are doing a great job uploading! I know it isn't easy sometimes...

I never realized how they pounce on those songs - at least it was just a bit scene with that googly-eyed Nathan recast I try to forget. There's another one with Keesha and Malcolm so we'll see.

I only remember Gatti's Keesha as dying, so it's interesting to see her playing the tougher side. She's not too bad, even if it was racist to recast the role with a white woman.

Sad to see Luan again. I still think she could have been a bigger, long-term part of the show.

And when Sharon was such a strong, likeable heroine, with Doris as her Liz Foster.

Ugh. It's sad to watch.

Even Brenda Epperson in her last month or two is more compelling than pretty much anyone in a major role these days.

Second episode (hopefully this worked alright)

I always though that googly-eyed Nathan recast looked like Tony Dow from LITB.........LOL

[DRW50]

Someone in the comments section (my first comment...something else to check off my box) said the second episode I posted was December 5, Episode #5755.

Here's the next one. I checked multiple times to see what footage I'm missing, but I uploaded all I had. Sorry about that. After that I just have one more partial episode. Again if anyone has the full I'll be happy to take these down or what have you.

I Googled Adam Lazarre White (googly eyed Nathan) and was shocked he was born in 1969. I thought he was way older than that. He was just in his mid 20's when playing Nathan.
