Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 I used to love those in the early '90s, as that was the closest you got to history. What an odd outfit on Brenda Dickson in that first photo. She looks like a Spanish widow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted October 15, 2011 Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Jumping around a bit here from the 90's to the 70's... Edited October 15, 2011 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 Two I thought were from this time in 1991 were mislabeled, so I don't have those at the moment. This is the one from September 17. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted October 15, 2011 Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 Wow, Thanks for posting the 1991 synopses Carl! I still can't get over how horrible that suicide thing with Sheila and Molly sounds. I bet that gave Sheila her mark as the town's psycho/ Villianess ( and switching the babies) So i guess Ryan first aired sometime in during the week of June 24-28 91. It's lovely how he and Victoria were already jumping each other less than a week later. That scene where Victor catches them in the tack room is on youtube, but its during a flashback. I bet the Victoria vs Ashley scene were great too, but I can't believe Ashley said she would go to Brad for love to Traci, I really think Brad and Ashley rubbed their closeness in Traci's face sometimes. Ah yes the famous "Killer" forehead. That must have been really great when it originally aired. I read about the joke being that David wanted to look like David Hasselhoff LOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 So Lorie wasn't on Y&R from the start? That article makes it seem like she didn't appear until Chris married Snapper. That was about a year into the show wasn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 Or like when the flirted to make Traci jealous. I don't know if Ashley would do that, given Traci's history. I also wonder about the show bringing back Tim as the man who would draw her away when Brad was dealing with Lisa. I wonder if a new character - like Steve, later on - would have been best, since she had lost Tim's baby and attempted suicide over him. I remember some scenes from around that time where Ashley took Victoria to the doctor to learn about safe sex and birth control. Good luck getting that on TV today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted October 15, 2011 Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) No, Lorie turned up around Christmas 1973. She was talked about a lot. Bill Bell did this on purpose, I think he used the same device on Days with Tommy Horton. And Yeah Chris and Snapper married Jan 1974.

Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks. I always saw JLB billed as an original cast member. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted October 15, 2011 Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 I think shows like Texas and Santa Barbara suffered by having all the cast present at the debut.They should have taken a leaf out of Bell's book and introduced characters over the first few months.rather than having all those characters there from the start,which is confusing for viewers wanting to get into the story.

Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 Was Casey still on the show in 1983? They glossed over all of Greg's stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted October 15, 2011 Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 Casey left in July 1981 just after the show moved to another timeslot. She went on vacation because of her admiror (Edward) and she didn't came back before Nikki's wedding in April 1984. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 I think this is another of the August or September 1991 recaps you were looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2011 I think this is the last one, the August recap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
