Y&R: Old Articles

[ChickenNuggetz92]

Done! Thankfully it was my day off today. I also added a few more things to make it feel more like a Y&R compilation clip. Enjoy!

I don't know who this Trina girl is but I like her. Did the child paying Josslyn get her lips done? What a world.

 

Those scenes still suck BUT the music is a marked improvement. I especially like the cues you used just as Josslyn and that kid kissed and when we came back from to them kissing and her pulling away. And OF COURSE the classic cue you used as they were deciding whether or not to have sex.

Haha thanks! The one thing I noticed while editing these scenes is how short they were (although it does work in my favour since I don't have full length cues), and also how fast they were running the lines - perhaps it was the director's choice. The entire time I was editing this I was envisioning all the music used during the teen Glow by Jabot era, so I had to use Billy and Mac's piano cue.

It's hilarious that I'm watching scenes I fast forwarded originally just because of the Y&R music.

These teens don't have the gravitas to pull it off though.

I think the music works well with the dialogue surprisingly...the beats are totally different between ABC/CBS and the Bell soaps but it fits pretty well. Of course the stories are definitely not up to par, definitely not in the same league as glow by Jabot or Victoria’s teen stories...

One of Y&R's forgotten folk... Steve Williams.

Maybe Bill Bell could have brought him back as the Steven Lassiter character and be Ashley's first husband.

At one point there was a softcore type film with Marilyn Chambers on youtube that co-starred Winn. I wonder if that killed his career ? Roger Newman from GL was also in it.

Funny I've always said the same thing, they could have brang him back on years ago to mix with not only his family but other characters on canvas. He already has history with certain people from his time I think Jack Abbot is one of them 

[Soaplovers]

What was his relationship like with Paul, patty, mary and Carl?  I think once Patty left in late 1984...the show turned Mary into a busybody because there wasnt othe4 facets to show.  It would have been interesting having steven on as a reporter especially during the rawlins case, kimball case...etc.  Maybe even interacting with leanna love.  Imagine Mary's face if she had her as daughter in law lol

 

Plus, he could have been a buffer for impulsive Paul and Carl/Mary.

[Legacy]

Exactly all of those questions come to mind and I haven't seen one episode yet with him in it so I don't really know how he came across with the family or the his interactions but I did hear he dated Peggy brooks while she was seeing Jack Abbot so I wonder how that triangle was back then

 

And actually the show missed another opportunity to let him be known, wasn't he apart of the whole cult storyline with Nikki and Paul so he would know about Ian Ward I guess they could have used that

I think I read peggy left him at the altar..and she left town..and he did as well shortly thereafter.

 

He also dated Jill briefly as well..so he had ties to the show.  It was short sighted writing him off and never bringing him back...same with writing off Patty in the mid 80s.

You have such an ear for these things! I love how you placed the cues. Keep it coming!

PS. woah those scenes were so... lifeless and dull. They all felt like fillers. No wonder soaps are dying.

[Legacy]

Your right I wonder how his interaction with Jill was and how he ended up seeing Peggy there was little storylines going on in that transition period, and Patty's story just seems to be one big tragic that never got recovered for the early character sake

 

I really wanna see these episodes because reading them sound just as good as if we were to see them

[SoapDope]

I think I read that after Greg and Nikki divorced, Peggy became interested in Greg. 

[Paul Raven]

Without going back through synopses that sounds a possibility.

There was a lot of movement with characters in that time as Bill Bell tried to adjust to the 60 min format and ratings dropped.

Michael Scott was interested in Lorie, then moved to Julia before being written out.

Robert Laurence was also hinted at being involved with Lorie but was shifted to Leslie.

There was a Jack/Peggy/Steve/Jill thing but then Jack went onto Patty. His earlier involvement with Jill and her sexual harassment case against him laid the groundwork for their long time bitterness.

After Jill/John/Jack round 1, Jill was moved onto Andy 

and so on...
