Chris B Members Share Posted July 25, 2020 @will81 From the lawsuit, we know Days needs money. Based on that, it’s insane Ken Corday doesn’t get Days streaming. You could put it on Peacock where it can get revenue due to the ads, or like The Doctors and do a fee where people pay to watch the episodes. People are insanely crazy about Days online. They’d easily make money doing something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They’d easily make money doing something like that. I think Corday is actually desperate to do that from what I have heard from him. It seems it is NBC that isn't, and I am not sure if Corday has the option to shop the back catalogue around, but honestly if any shows back catalogue is going up, it will most likely be Days. Once Corday finds a way to do it. If Sony has digitized Y&R and B&B then they need to work with Corday and put all three shows up. I do think there is enough interest for a pay streaming service to offset costs, and even if they have to scrub some music, I will accept that to a certain point. As you mentioned The Doctors has done extremely well. Sometimes I feel like we are on the verge of getting more, just not sure when. The CBS reruns have done well enough to show enough people are interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you wholeheartedly, I think DAYS would do well on Peacock. 1 hour ago, will81 said: I think Corday is actually desperate to do that from what I have heard from him.

It isn't NBC that controls the distribution of DAYS. Sony is the distributor, they market the show to all broadcasters - so it is ultimately Sony who negotiates with NBC for the broadcast rights to the show. Either Sony and NBC have got a deal with streaming, or the rights for streaming remain in limbo. If I were NBC, I'd be insisting on the DAYS episodes for Peacock. It really is a no-brainer.

Oh right, I knew that and totally flubbed, haha Yeah I meant more NBC wasn't willing to or was holding out on streaming the show. I thought that was what Corday meant when he said NBC was not coming to the table. Not that they had any right to distribute, more they had the platform for it, and I was wondering if Corday through Sony has the right to shop a deal around or not. Thanks for clearing that up though Edited July 25, 2020 by will81 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faulkner Members Share Posted July 25, 2020 I do wonder if we’ll ever see box set-style curated stories, like a few episodes detailing Marlena’s possession or a series highlighting the Bo/Hope romance, which may actually be a much better bingeing experience. They’d likely have to deal with some music replacement stuff, but at least it wouldn’t be such a gargantuan task for so little payoff. They’d never get a license fee to cover the costs of remastering and dealing with rights for thousands of episodes, especially with ‘80s episodes where there was so much popular music.

will81 Members Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hey everyone, someone is uploading a bunch of partial episodes and clips from 1982. Check out the soap vault (I don't know how to link it, sorry but link is in @ChickenNuggetz92signature) in Y&R - clips - 1982. So far full of stuff I haven't seen from early 1982. Sorry for some reason every time I try to link to it, it never works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been seeing some of the scenes ive never seen before and i was trying to figure out who was greg but im use to the one who dated nikki i forgot his name. Also karen is sort of interesting, I've always wondered if lucas left town with her, also seeing jack and patty history is amazing cause it gives people an idea of what there relationship was about.

BoldRestless Members Share Posted July 28, 2020 Those clips are awesome... a HUGE thank you to whoever is our mysterious benefactor! It looks like it has Jerry Douglas' debut, Paul & Kay's first scenes together, and the scene where Allison Bancroft brings out a life size cut out of Nikki stripping... I've wanted to see that forever! @ltm1997 check it out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also the first episode in there from early March (I think around March 1 - 5)!!!! the end of April/Barb/Dorothy and Wayne Poor Cash, I actually felt so bad for him. The first episode posted is a full one too Howard McGillan took over for Wings Hauser who was the Greg married to Nikki ETA: Lol at Liz "Setting to be married" Kay "Is that a bad thing?" Liz "You've been married three times already" Edited July 28, 2020 by will81 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I understand Barbara either trafficked drugs or stole money from people who did or something like that. Hence the nose job in that 1981 ep, she was on the run. Pretty sure it was a dropped plot point. Bell kinda fumbled through this family and then shipped them off. Despite Y&R being a bit of a mess 80 - 82, still loving these episodes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
titan1978 Members Share Posted July 28, 2020 What a boring time modern fans have had. Nikki was a stripper. On camera. She and Paul were in a cult. Victor had a man in a cage. Vanessa went through years of unhinged behavior, culminating in framing her soon to be daughter-in-law for her murder by throwing herself off the balcony. Affairs galore- my favorite being Kay mailing the cut up photos of Jack and Jill to John. It’s just so boring now. Take a chance! If Bill Bell wasn’t ashamed of soaps, why should anyone else be? If the show had the guts the older version had, maybe one of these young leads might have made gay for pay porn and are desperate to hide it, ending up being blackmailed into escorting.

yrfan1983 Members Share Posted July 28, 2020 The remote scenes with Lucas searching for Brooks on the lake are super high-budget and very well-produced! though sadly would be Dennis Cole and Andre Gower's last hurrah, with Tom Ligon and Victoria Mallory not far after...

As a side note: I had found an article (now lost) that stated Andre stepped in as Brooks for the episodes where Leslie takes Brooks to the circus, I think in 1981. The boy who had been in the role broke his arm or something and Gower stepped in and I guess continued in the role. I wish I could find this. Does anyone have the SOD issue that had an article on the circus BTS. Just to confirm if Gower was in the role? Most of my 1981 issues are gone and it doesn't seem to be posted on the tumblr site that I could see Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always liked Tom Ligon as Lucas. Too bad he didn't stick around longer. The girl who played Lorie too. She was very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
