Members soapfan770 Posted September 21, 2015 Members Share Posted September 21, 2015 Going back in time here Brenda Epperson left Y&R on 12/21/95 and they gave the character Ashley a break until the infamous Shari Shattuck made her debut on 3/12/96. The opening was updated just for Shattuck! Before: After: I'm also reformatting some 1997 information I have found to be able to post here I should have it posted by tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted September 21, 2015 Members Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks! I remember reading Brenda's last airdate was 12/21/95, but didn't know the proper date for Shari......then I also read that Brenda debuted as Ashley 12/5/88? Eileen first returned either Feb or March 99? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 21, 2015 Members Share Posted September 21, 2015 I figure wev'e seen this before, but have to post it again, getting a good glimpse of Leslie's mental institution storyline, there was certainly nothing as dark and terrifying at that time on daytime TV. I remember it all, and it was really scary for a 7 year old to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cassadine1991 Posted September 21, 2015 Members Share Posted September 21, 2015 At least now we know a definitive airdate to when Shattuck first started. Wish we got more of these airdate though for other actors and writers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted September 22, 2015 Members Share Posted September 22, 2015 LOL I guess there's a good reason most of the 1996-1998 material with Ashley is off youtube...... although I still have the clear image of her swing dancing with Cole from that one episode.... When did she last air though in 1999? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted September 22, 2015 Members Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) I previously noted somewhere, maybe about 100 pages ago lol that Heather Tom had left Y&R in early '97 and her final airdate was 2/21/97 and eventually returned on 10/2/97. The recast, Sarah Aldrich made her debut on 4/2/97 and only lasted until 7/17/97. Her last scenes were of finding out with Nick that Victor and Diane had become coupled, she didn't even an exit before the show put Victoria in a holding pattern until Tom returned. It was only mentioned later on that Victoria had left town again to handle Newman's international business and take another break from Cole, enough for Cole and Ashley to start an affair when Cole approached Ashley to be the subject/model for a novel he was writing. Shattuck's final airdate was 2/22/99, the same day as Sandra Nelson's. Edited September 22, 2015 by soapfan770 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted September 22, 2015 Members Share Posted September 22, 2015 wow so Aldrich was really a "blink and you would miss her".... maybe I should start collecting some April-July 1997 episodes that might have her on it...There's not much from that year anyway though from watching the credits from those years they had WAY too many characters....though I'm sure they were used more properly back then.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted September 22, 2015 Members Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks! I guess we would really have to dig to find Eileen's first airdate in 82....I know it was June....and supposedly she last aired the first time 12/2/88 with Brenda starting the following monday 12/5/88, but that really can't be confirmed.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted September 22, 2015 Members Share Posted September 22, 2015 I didn't mean to post that twice lol. I'm still reformatting that 1997 archive file but I do have that both Ashley Jones and Sabryn Genet both made their debut on 2/18/97 and both Megan and Tricia took an instant disliking for Jill. It's interesting there was no break between the transition from Davidson to Epperson yet there were gaps between Epperson and Shattuck and Shattuck and Davidson. Davidson was even still in the opening credits for good month and a half while Epperson was already on. Shattuck's first story upon Ashley's return from Paris was because Dina had come back to Genoa City. Ashley was still harboring a lot of resentment and anger towards both Dina and Mari Jo and still trying to understand Blade/Rick. She also didn't like Nikki and Brad being together. She started moving first seeing a fellow lab co-worker named Adam Hunter as played by Grant Cramer who previously played the infamous Shawn Garret before it went nowhere. She also had a date with a dayplayer character named Steve that had no further continuance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
