Yeah, it does seem like her conversation with Patty and Paul didn't seem to be a typical conversation you'd see on the Young and the Restless.  

 

With that said, I did like in those two episodes from 1980 a good contrast between the Have's (Abbots/Katherine), the social climbers (Jill), and the Have nots (The Williams).  I know that the 80s was more about seeing the larger than life characters and wealthy characters.. but not focusing on realistic working class characters in the 80s kind of short-changed the soaps long term.

I think that's what made the show Abit different and her character more detailed then others, also I wish we could have seen some of the others son scenes. Wasn't there other brother Steve around I wonder how he was with viewers back then and why they never thought to bring him back atleast they bring back Patty and Todd time to time

I know, I wish I had them!  

I'm curious even though you may not know this information, do you by any chance know how much episodes the Brooks girls were in when they came back to town in 1984 for the wedding. I can't believe in the wedding episodes how there part was excluded from the episodes like they just walked into the place on some random invitation 😂

The Brooks sisters, when shows actually aired in 1984, only appeared in one episode. They did have a reunion scene in a penthouse, and talked about making an effort to get together in person more often, but that was about it.

The scene at the penthouse (Julia's, I think) reintroducing the Brooks sisters to the viewers was included in the original airing, but it was cut from the re-airing on 12/30/16. So if someone only saw the 12/30/16 version - yes, the Brooks sisters appeared out of nowhere

I can't get my computer to download the clips so I can make the screen cap. Would someone be willing/able to make a screen cap of Melody Thomas (pre-Scott)'s credit from the April 1982 episode for me, please? Thanks!!

 

Archive.org is a little weird. In the box with "Download Options" I hover where it says "Windows Media" and then a little button pops up to the right of "Windows Media" with an arrow to download.

 

Another more straightforward way is clicking "Show All" and then you get a link page like this https://archive.org/download/TheYoungTheRestlessLateApril1982partial and just right click on the .wmv file and "save link as." 

 

It's important that as many of us download these files as possible, in case they ever get removed and someone has to upload it to youtube. Having multiple copies floating around helps preserve these amazing finds.

 

Never made a screencap before, so I hope this turned out alright.

I love that credit shot, but it's kind of funny they stick Katherine and Victor into the "never=ending" quad and it was at least only Victor that had anything to do with any Brooks or Prentis stuff..

I think the only time Katherine crossed into the Brooks/Prentiss quad stuff was at the 1981 Gala Ball. Lorie enters in a dress slit up to her panties to try and ruin Leslie's moment in the spotlight with Lance. Katherine is in attendance with Stuart and Liz and all in shock at the spectacle that Lorie has made. Everyone gasps as she takes off her cape.

Yeah that was one time, though I read some early 1975 recaps where Lorie consulted Phillip on her book and Katherine noticed them looking "flirty"

Yes you are right. I think Lorie was the first to discover the affair between Jill and Phillip when she saw them having dinner.

Your right that's another weird one I'm surprised Katherine didn't have any scenes with Prentiss or really ever the brooks, I did read that Katherine broke up the almost brawl or argument between lorie and Leslie at the gala so they wouldn't embarrass Liz and I did read a recap of 1979 when lorie and Katherine had a conversation I think about Jill when she was marrying Stuart but that's about it, Victor atleast had scenes with the Prentiss brothers over the company

I still have hopes of wondering if maybe Katherine and Vanessa had any scenes during kt Stevens 5 years being on there but probably not but that would be so fun to watch 2 powerful and devious women

I just watched the clip of MTS watching some of her work over the years and commenting on it and wondered what happened to the actress who played little Victoria and did a search and came across this picture of her, Heather Tom and MTS at MTS' 35th anniversary on Y&R a few years ago.

 

How cool that they invited her! She looks a bit like MTS too... probably still a better actress than Heinle.

She looks a lot like she did as a child.

She reminds me a touch of Roberta Leighton (Casey).

It's still weird seeing Katherine in these scenes with the brooks triangle
