Do you think they made a mistake killing Bill Foster off?

Nope.

But then that was pretty much a given.

I appreciate how you're always able to answer these questions. It's sad that even though all of these episodes were kept, we will probably never see them.

Here's a recap from the 3/22/88 Digest.

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.

Santa Barbara did that. Just because some people are listed as original cast members (and some not even) doesn't mean they were there from Day 1. Cruz came later. So did Eden. And Sophia. And Gina. Julia wasn't introduced til 85 (and she was a major player on the show- maybe not in the original outline but I'd certainly count her). Those are 5 MAJOR players on the show and key characters that weren't there in the beginning.

Laughing my a** off at Jill in those glasses, and the fact that shes wearing them in every clip they show!, Now i REALLY wish these full episodes would surface somehow!

I wonder if Jess had an eye problem.

She could have some eye problem, but it looks more like she was wearing those so no one would recognize her in public (as Jill i mean LOL) when she was seen around town with Baby Phillip, and just forgot to take them off.

Its interesting that 2 years later, Jill would pretty much do the same thing with Little Phillip when Nina was on trial for shooting David.

Was Phillip (Bierdz) still on the show at this time? I get very confused as at times he seems irrelevant in a lot of the promos and such by this time.

No, May 31 of that year was his last airdate. ( And i honestly wouldn't mind now if that was his last ever airdate if you know what I mean...LOL)

Oh. For some reason I thought he died sometime in the winter, like early 1990. Oops.

I have a few more 1988 recaps, if you want to see them.

There should be some sort of Y&R database where they have an archived list of characters past and present first and last airdates. Kind of like Jason 47's Days of Our Lives page.

Yes. that would be great if you could post more of 1988 recaps, I was wondering if you also had any 1992 recaps you could post. since there are some months from that year where i dont know what went down.

I can't do the 1992 right now but I have some, just let me know the dates.

Thanks, whatever ones you have would be fine.especially ones from after Sheila left for B&B.

OK. Do you also want the B&B 1992 recaps from her time on that show, or just Y&R?

Both would be great if you don't mind.
