I have a rare, first-generation VHS copy of Episode #205 of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS that I'm looking to sell. Episode #205 is notable because it's Jeanne Cooper's debut as Katherine along with the introduction of John Considine as Phillip Chancellor, II. Jill and Kay meet in this episode when Jill solicits Katherine over the phone for a hair appointment which goes horribly wrong because Katherine is "ill". Jill escorts Katherine home and instead of leaving when Theresa, the Chancellor maid, takes Katherine upstairs and makes her "a double", Jill makes herself right at home in the Chancellor living room to wait to Katherine as the episode ends. 

As far as I know, this is the second earliest episode of Y&R in circulation after the first episode. I received this during my days at CBS and am now looking to let it go. I figured this community would be the best home for it... If you have any questions, just send me a private message. More details are below...

Here's the link to the eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153079336911?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Your welcome! I've unearthed a lot more 1995 articles, pictures, and recaps I found saved that I'll probably share on this thread later tonight/tomorrow here. 

 

Would love to see the Ashley and Brad scenes! Victor and Nikki's couple status at this point sounds even more tortured than Cruz and Eden on Santa Barbara; same goes for Victoria/Ryan/Nina.

Thanks for sharing!!!! It's been years since I remember watching the infamous pillow stabbing scenes as Ashley was finally allowed to go berserk following the chilling yet low key revelation. Throwing Jill into the mix of the Rick/Blade story was a smart move and really helped save and drive the story's climax and aftermath.

When she says, “How could you understand what I’m going through?” to Jill, Brenda sounded just like Claire Danes when she’s agitated on Homeland.

 

Ah, the music. Why the producers felt like this scoring was dated and not timeless, I’ll never understand.

In the past, Y&R's music did a masterful job of setting the mood of the scenes and underscoring characters' inner turmoil.  Dumping that wholesale was just criminal.

I loved finally getting to see this too....I think this scene proved Brenda, if she stuck around could really play all the different layers of Ashley, that people think ED is more accustomed too, like the coldness and berserk scenes like this....I thought Ashley was going to go after Jill with the knife too!

I didn't realize Ashley and Olivia's friendship was present at this time....I always think it isn't really till they brought back Ashley with Shari, and then Eileen's return they played up the friendship more...It's kind of sad, that Ashley was warning Olivia, just as her own marriage was up in flames too...funny enough Olivia sort of went crazy too, when she found out about Nathan/Keesha.

btw, thanks for the 1995 SOU stuff! I have to say, some of the pictures, specifically Jack/Jill, Nikki/Victor look later 90's, but maybe it's the lighting.....surprised Lauren got a shout out, as she spent most of that year on B&B to finish up Sheila's initial arch there.....

      Were those reasons to do with having younger children on set? Other shows seem to manage. The ageing up of the kids has been one of the mistakes the show has made.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      I agree.  Lemay was supposed to start in early 88 and we saw some of the writing on the wall with character reference from the past.  Notably, the core families Frames, Cory, Matthews.  The stupid Reginald Love was wrapped up.  Not even a year later Mary was written out of the show along with Vince and the McKinnons who came and left .  The previous writers tried to introduce a new family that never aspired with the viewers.  1988 was focused on the 25th anniversary of show in 1989 and suspect why Lemay was asked to come back in 88.  Prior to 1988, the storylines were so DOOL stupid.

      That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.

      Knots Landing

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively.

      Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

      Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.

      This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By DRW50 · Posted

      I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.
