I am really excited about re-watching clips from late 1988 forwards.. I began watching Y&R during this time when the show began broadcasting in Israel. I remember amazing stories:

So Israel started w/ Fall 1988 episodes then? What year was Y&R first broadcast in Israel?

 

The 1988 clips were January-March. The pivotal moment in that clip set is Victor's devastation over Ashley's marriage to Steven which leads to Victor getting drunk and turning to Nikki, resulting in Nikki becoming pregnant with Nicholas. 

 

The main non-Cricket 1988 stories I remember were Katherine and Rex's marriage, Chance's birth, Ruthless publication, Paul becomes involved with Cassandra, Victor and Nikki divorce, Steven's death, Brad in a cage, Nicholas's birth. Also the second of the big three late 1980s recasts when Eileen Davidson left and was replaced with Brenda Epperson.

 

Found this just now! Seems to be early 1995. I think It's February 10, 1995!

Y&R began broadcast in Israel in 1990 (I think with episodes from around 1987) and unfortunately was taken off our screens in early 2010 due to disagreement with Sony (together with days of our lives).

I can't believe it! I've been scouring Greek YouTube for years hoping someone would finally have some episodes to upload. It finally, sorta happened!

 

Only ONCE did someone start putting up the episodes daily as they aired during the 2002 episodes. It lasted only 2 weeks. They were copyright stricken and never returned AFAIK.

 

The channel also has a brief Skip/Carol scene with Nan.

I really wonder what would have been next for Stuart if he had stayed on, seems he was just back burned after Leslie left. 

 

I wouldn't have been surprised to see him end up with Nikki.

I like to note the title of Y&R in various languages and search them periodically as well, haha.

 

On this topic does anyone speak Turkish, or know when Y&R aired in Turkey? I found a full episode on YouTube a couple of years ago that said 1990, but looks like its US airdate would've been 1986 or 1987.  

 

 

It seems like alot of countries that air Y&R started with 1986 episodes. Besides Canada, Australia, and maybe New Zealand, did any other countries get Y&R episodes from earlier than 1986?

There are promos from Italy from the early 80s. Weird that they got it before France and Germany.

They also had CAPITOL in its entire run in Italy because one of the websites for that show is from Italy.

Either that or maybe they would have actually explored him with gina since Katherine made such a big deal to Liz of him going to see a young women

That appears to be true. AFAIK, Greece started airing Y&R in 1990 with 1986 episodes. 1986 is a great starting point. You had Victor and Ashley's affair and Jill's divorce drama.

I'm looking through European news archives to check if Y&R was airing anywhere else.

 

Some news of American soap actors is appearing in an Icelandic publication in the 1980s and several American soaps were being broadcast by 1990, including Y&R. I can't tell if the publication just has a weird interest in the world of American soaps in the mid-1980s or if the names are familiar to their residents.

In France, it started airing in August 1989 with episodes from 1986.

Iceland has very limited broadcasting stations of its own but they always received UK TV if I got this right during my recent visit there. Meaning, if soaps aired in the UK some Icelanders probably saw them too
