Y&R: Old Articles

[YRfan23]

There's a recap from March 9, 1992 on the google fourms that has a Jack and Leanna scene, so I'm thinking that's her last appearance. 

[will81]

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.

I think sometime between 1993 and 1996 Beth Maitland had her daughter. I don't think Beth was pregnant in real life when Traci was pregnant with Colleen.

She had her daughter July 11, 1995

How long did Jess Walton take Brenda's place in 1988 ?

Why was Brenda gone from the show for so long ?

I am watching the 1988 clips, and she seems to have stayed for a while.

[asafi]

Any chance to see the death of Philip chancellor the 3rd during 1989? 

[will81]

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

Does anyone have episode from May 2010 where Andrea Evans appeared as Tawny Moore? Looking also the episodes from 2006-2008 with Amber Moore

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.

[Soapysoap]

Thanks so much!
