YRfan23, do you have an episode guide saved somewhere? You're really good w/ original air dates

 

 

Ugh, tying Cricket to the Abbotts allowed her to eat the show even more. I remember Soap Opera Digest named Cricket as Most Overexposed Character in one of the best/worst issues in the late 1980s.

 

I believe Chase was gone sometime in spring 1990 but I don't recall how he was written off.

 

Haha thanks! I know I can be a bit obsessive, but I just think having the original air dates helps a lot! 

To answer your question I actually do have an episode guide in French that was sent to me that has episode descriptions from Jan 1986-1995. It's not the most accurate in some places and kind of vague but for the most part it's basically the correct info for all those years!

Here' the download link, but you will have to use google translate of course.

I also read old summaries that were saved on the google groups archives.

Ashley tells J&J that everyone is silent just because everyone is surprised.  J&J want everyone to make their own decision about how much contact they want with Jessica – meaning do the Abbotts want to live in the same house as J&J? Do they feel comfortable that they are not exposing themselves to HIV, living in close proximity to Jessica?  J&J says they have done their own research and feel comfortable sharing the house with the family, but they want each person to make their own decision, and they will not be offended by anyone's decision. Ashley and Traci hug J&J.  Jack hugs John but skips hugging Jessica. John hugs Cricket and calls her his "third daughter". J&J leave.  Everyone is very somber. 

 

Was Jack fearful of Jessica and her AIDS status?

He definitely seemed uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.  In the 1989 episodes I've seen, it doesn't come up, so I guess he got over it.

 

Thanks for that french link, YRfan23, very cool!

No problem! 😁

YRfan23, thank you for the link.

 

I remember the 2008 Paris remote was done to coincide w/ the 20th anniversary of Y&R first being broadcast in France. So if they started w/ 1986 episodes in 1989 as per the episode guide, France would be watching 2014 episodes now.

 

One of the French language channels in Canada airs Y&R but the episodes are from 2009.

Exactly ! I live in France. 

Are you enjoying the 2014 episodes FrenchFan?

 

If any international Y&R viewers are posting here, what's happening on Y&R in your country?

I am not watching French episodes as I follow US episodes so I have already seen 2014. But I have watched for years before the Internet era. Ratings were not good and recently the show (which aired at 2pm since 1989) was moved to 11am. I know my grandmother stopped watching.

No more FEBBRE D'AMORE???

They aired each episode in two pieces anyway, didn't they?

Haha! Exactly. No more 'Love fever'

 

Uhm they actually aired one episode a day. Which had become quite rare for US soaps in Italy. Italian networks usually cut episodes halfway or add another portion off the next episode just because they see soaps as fillers for their line-ups. I was so sad to see the show go, but considering what it had become it was no huge loss.

The show was canceled here in Greece several years ago. We are too poor to afford US soaps these days. 

I do recall dru/neil/cricket/nina/Danny hanging together some in the early 90s..  

I'm not surprised Ashley was involved with Dru's early story......she and Olivia were written as old college chums/sorority sisters...and that connection was maintained/mentioned through the early 2000s.  I think I bought Brenda's Ashley and Olivia being friends mire so of the three Ashleys...if that makes sense.

Is this Deborah Adair?

 

Yes.
