Y&R: Old Articles

Well, with 4 eps on a $10.00 disc, that comes out to $2.50 per episode, which I consider reasonable. The seller does have to do some work to assemble the disc, after all.

 

But if something long-thought-lost-forever popped up, like the debut of ATWT with Nancy Hughes saying, "Good morning dear!", I'd expect the seller to charge significantly more.

 

You know, I also love hunting down vintage soap opera magazines from the 1960s and 1970s, but even those can cost an arm and a leg on eBay.

 

Being a soap opera collector ain't cheap!

Haha no it's not!  

Something I just thought of....I wonder if that person with the vintage collection had mostly Days and Y&R?? I don't remember what other soaps had full archives still in tact, but he couldn't have had any of early 70's ABC, cause save for a few kinescopes most of those first 10 years are wiped out...

He did not list all 20 eps, just a sample, but there was more than just DAYS and Y&R. He also mentioned the 90-minute premiere of The Edge of Night on ABC and the premire of How to Survive a Marriage.. 

 

Really, I am sceptical because I've been ripped off before, but I suppose hope springs eternal, right?

See, although I keep saying I am highly sceptical, a snippet of Chris and Snapper's wedding is even on youtube, so I can believe the entire ep could be out there. I have heard for many years that the 90-minute special TEON is in the hands of fans, who guard it like the crown jewels, too. 

 

Still, I'm not going to pay $1000.00 for anything. Well, okay, if I could verify that a seller had the complete first five years' worth of Y&R on DVD, I might consider buying THAT for $1000.00, LOL.

I think that clip of Snapper and Chris wedding was taken from the Y&R 20th anniversary. I agree about $ 1,000.00 being outrageous and the risk of it being a scam. 

 

There are a lot of vintage soap episodes listed in the UCLA film archives, but they will probably never get around to transferring them to media for public viewing. They figure it's not important.

Sony doesn't seem to realize they could easily be making money off starting a streaming service with classic Y&R episodes. They need only look at the prices sellers charge for videos. I'll never understand their constant copyright claims when they show no intention of profiting from the old episodes.

    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride. 
    • Damn I was hoping Lesley would be at Monica's memorial  Hoping GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial
