Members soapfan770 Posted December 3, 2017 Members Share Posted December 3, 2017 Amongst viewers and some of the soap press while they lauded Jeanne Cooper and were entertained, the common criticism of the story was the doppelganger part was a bit of stretch for a more reality based show like Y&R, quite similar to Brad in a cage the previous year. Of course no one in 1990 could predict twenty years later doppelgangers would become a dime a dozen and more ridiculous with the next one, that we'd see Katherine Chancellor in a landfill and co-piloting helicopters, or there would be death by volcano. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted December 4, 2017 Members Share Posted December 4, 2017 ^ I was riveted by the story, thanks to the excellent acting and tight plotting. Sad when it ended 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 4, 2017 Members Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yeah, it kept me entertained as well....I just wish I had all of September/October 1989-May 1990 so we could see the entire story and not just the chunks I have!!

Members YRBB Posted December 4, 2017 Members Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thanks. Yeah, I loved it and thought it was fun and entertaining. Cooper certainly seemed to be having a ball. I just became curious when someone on YouTube said it was "unpopular" with viewers and had to be wrapped up sooner than planned. I took it with a heavy dose of salt, but figured I'd check. Maybe it'd be different if we watched it unfold day by day. I do like the occasional outlandish story though, and late 80s, early 90s Y&R served it nicely with Brad in the Cage and Katherine's kooky doppelganger. I feel they always found ways to ground the crazy stories like those, or Matt Clark's face-change and deliver them as realistically as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 8, 2017 Members Share Posted December 8, 2017 What?? How did I not see this 😁😁 must watch later!!! I actually did skim to some of the Leanna/Victor scenes, and even though it was just fantasies, It’s fun to see that Leanna was the one person who made Victor squirm...(besides Eve Howard) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
