The other thing I looked into was head writers post Bill Bell. What I have found so far goes like this

 

Kay Alden: July 1998 - Aug 2000

Kay Alden & Trent Jones: Aug 2000 - June 2002

Kay Alden, Trent Jones & John (Jack) F. Smith: July 2002 - Aug 2004

 

This isn't listed as such anywhere. But I believe it is correct

 

I believe after this it was Alden and Smith until LML came on in Feb 2006. Alden and Smith were demoted in Dec 2006 and I think Alden was pretty much gone at this point. 

 

Also interesting that Smith became co-exec producer in 2003 with David Shaughnessy. By Feb 2004 Bill Bell lost his Senior Exec Producer title and became a co-exec with Smith (Shaugnessy was out) Bell's credit was removed the day after he died. For some reason Jack Smith stepped down as Exec Producer in 2006 and LML stepped in and then in affect fired him and Alden. 

 

I hadn't realised after Ed Scott left the show in Dec 2001, he returned as a supervising producer between 2004 - 2007. So 2006/07 really was the end of an era for Y&R. Alden, Smith and Ed Scott all gone.

 

Oh right, cool, thanks. Yeah I doubt she appeared again after this since she had other projects going on. I think for sure her contract status was cooked by Feb 92 and she was recurring after that with probably only that one last apperance

More info on writers for Y&R for those who want it from newspaper article May 22, 1978. So Elizabeth Harrower was with Y&R at least by 1978. I am guessing she left either late 78 or early 79 to HW Days. I am pretty confident Jack Smith joined in 79 as Kay Alden mentions in an interview from that year the only writers of the show are herself, Bell and one other.

Jess Walton took over the role of Jill from Brenda Dickson in 1987 and remains in the role to this day. She is semi-retired though and doesn't appear too often

 

Although we don't know exactly what happened. The official word is Bill Bell wasn't happy with the way Brenda was playing the part and fired her.

Thanks for uploading! I'm also wondering if you have anything through summer and fall 1987? I have like two poor quality clips of a Danny Romalotti's concert from late summer, again wondering if that full episode was out there. What about Jill and David scheming to find Jill a man? Or Jess Walton's debut on 6/22? I've seen those clips with the three Jills, so there must be the full episodes or longer clips from that time? It's fun watching it all in order. I don't have any more full episodes until September.

 

Now looking at it again, I'm not sure about the dates. There's a French episode guide that matches up the episode #s and dates. I'm assuming they are correct.

June 11 - #3624
June 12 - #3625
June 15 - #3626
June 16 - #3627

 

The German guide is here: https://www.fernsehserien.de/schatten-der-leidenschaft/episodenguide

 

These are the recaps for the dates. I'm using 6/11, 6/12, and 6/15 because those are the dates on the DVDs I got.  They're uploaded to the vault. I'll change them depending on what people think. This is what the German guide has via google translate.  I'm confused, it looks like 6/10 and 6/12 are the first two, but then it doesn't seem like 6/15 is there, but the one you uploaded is clearly 6/16.

Please, someone! I second this request. I thought those scenes used to be on the soap hunks website, but I've never seen them.

 

 

If you're interested in Brenda's POV, her portion from E True Hollywood Story is in the vault in the Behind the Scenes folder. Would also love to see the entire episode if anyone has that.

Yep agreed, the one I put up should be June 16 by the sounds of it. Yeah it is a bit confusing with the guides. Thanks for uploading those eps. Those ep #'s seem accurate, I know 1987 starts with #3510 and ends with #3755 according to the Bill Bell catalogue/script archive I linked to previously. 

 

@BoldRestless Yeah the first ep is definitely June 11, as it carries over from the previous day of Nikki's video (We see this in the vault clips uploaded with a much longer sequence with flashbacks and ending with Jack arriving at the ranch) The last few minutes are repeated on Jun 11 with Jack arriving prior to the opening theme.

 

The next has to be Jun 12 since it carries on from Jun 11. The ep you have as Jun 15 seems right, it feels like Brad interrupting Danny and Lauren was probably at the end of Jun 12 (or maybe not since it is the next day) and maybe picked up on June 15 and is part of the first 5 -7 minutes missing from the episode prior to the opening theme. That ep starts after the intro. 

 

I think June 10 was also available as part of the GenoaCityGuy clips as I had a 1min clip of Jill welcoming Ashley back to Jabot, but I have since lost it

Looking at them all again I think you're right. 6/15 is still throwing me off, because its seems unlikely that the Brad/Danny/Lauren thing happens so quickly, but those scenes must occur in the missing minutes at the end of 6/12 & beginning of 6/15.

 

Do you or does anyone else have the episodes with Phillip's 18th birthday and Phillip losing his virginity to Nina? They're not on the clips, and I heard they used to be online.

 

Would also love to see the scenes where Jill approaches Rex for the first time as a bum, and where Rex "saves" Katherine in a stunt set up by Jill.

 

 

Amber definitely appears in both of the 2008 episodes posted in the Y&R folder. The only date I know for Tawny is May 12, 2010. I'll put it up today. If there's other dates you're particularly interested in, I can look. I don't have that much from those years.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
