I wonder why Vanessa didn't like Lucas dating casey of all people or maybe she knows of the incident with nikki killing her father lol i have no clue.

 

Seems like that jones guy got test with a few women on the show, he was first tried with leslie then i hear casey and i swear in one episode him and nikki kissed i wonder what time span all of this happened?

 

With all those random hook ups i guess you can add in Paul's brother i forgot his name but did he date Peggy and wasn't jill with him to and also Peggy and jack

Not sure why Vanessa hated Casey and Lucas. Maybe she wanted Leslie and Lucas together to keep Brooks away from Lorie. Not sure, none of the synopsis makes it clear.

 

Jonas is with Leslie from late 79 when she wonders into his bar with amnesia. They then recycle the Brad/Leslie stuff from the first year, where Brad helped a shy, introverted Leslie open up more. Jonas does the same with the amnesiac Leslie now calling herself Priscilla. This pairing starts to fizzle out when they return to GC around June. They tested Casey and Jonas shortly after this, when it looks like Leslie and Lucas might reunite, then Jonas/Casey is put on hold until Christmas. Jonas heads to Italy in October to try to win Leslie back, but seems to give up eventually. I believe he and Casey dated until she left town in early 81 and this might have been when Jonas and Nikki were paired. He was part of the stalker/Edward story.

 

Steve was Paul's brother, he dated Jill briefly and there seemed to be a triangle in the works with Peggy, but it goes nowhere. Peggy and Steve worked at the Chronicle and on the cult story which gets Steve fired from Stuart's paper when Peggy almost dies. Peggy asks Stu to rehire him, but Steve's pride pushes him to refuse the offer and he plans to move to Washington. Peggy is so upset at Steve that she hooks up with Jack, lol. Then Steve changes his tune and stays, but he can't get over that she had a one night stand with some dude (she doesn't tell him it was Jack) so they break up, but then slowly reconcile and he proposes to her on Christmas Day. 

 

Peggy plans to marry him, but gets cold feet and ditches him, Steve leaves town and Peggy stopped appearing shortly after when Pamela Peters quit. The initial plan was to recast, but that obviously never happened

Didnt Paul's brother steve originally leave because things didn't work with Peggy, and while he was gone she started another relationship which i think is greg and then she left shortly to go catch up with steve? If someone can fill in the blanks i forgot and if so wouldn't mean they would still be together lol

Terry Lester fans will enjoy the classic Y&R episode airing today in Canada and tomorrow on CBS.  I think that this is literally the first time his Jack has appeared on network TV since leaving the show in September of 1989.

Steve left town shortly after Peggy left him at the altar in Mar 81. He left for Washington D.C the week of Jun 8, 1981. In between that not much was going on with either character. The fall out from the non-wedding was about it. Peggy was on and off with Jack, so maybe she took comfort in his arms for a brief period. Though he seemed to have his hands full with Patty and Jill.

 

At one point around Jul 81, Victor takes an interest in Peggy just as Eve and Peggy become pals. 

 

Peggy didn't really date Greg until Aug, and that seems to have been very, very brief. Hauser was out around Sep 81, maybe earlier. In his Sep 27, 1981 column, Jon-Michael Reed announced Pam Peters would be replaced soon, though she may have already stopped appearing by that point. Howard McGillan started around the week of Oct 12, 1981. 

 

As a side note: Margaret Mason who played Eve would also exit the show around September 1981. Though this was due to a scheduled open heart surgery. Apparently Mason and the show knew about the surgery well in advance. Mason delayed it so she could attend her daughter's wedding and so the show could write her off temporarily. It seems Eve was always due to return to the show.

Yeah I finally have time to put my synopsis together. Finished the actual synopsis for 1980 and just adding notes and things. I have attached a sample below.

 

I split everything into weekly summaries just for ease. I used Jon-Michael Reed and Lynda Hirsch's weekly recaps as a guide and Soap Digest to fill in gaps. There are other very small recaps that ran in papers so I sometimes take stuff from them as well. I then split each week into storylines, again to make it easier to read and search for certain things. Then bold each character when they first appear in that story.

 

I actually did this more for myself, as I had a hard time reading through synopsis each time I wanted answers to stuff. Plus I wanted to get a good hold on the older storylines. However I am happy to share this once done if anyone is interested in it. It is basic, but was more focused on getting info together I have and can share.

Another historical question for the more knowledgeable peeps in here...

 

When did Jack and Nikki commence their initial 80s affair (while Nikki was married to Victor)? Was it before or after Victor started his affair with Ashley?

Thanks a lot for the details and also i always found it interesting how Peggy interacted with victor and eve i wonder what the plan was in the long run, Peggy would have just become another women even would have gone after cause she did not like nikki or Julia around victor lol

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
