Actually back in 1996, people kind of cheered on Mari Jo for torturing the Bug.  Some even said she found an effective way of shutting the bug up.(drugging her).

I do.wonder how different the show would have been hav Mari Jo not been the shooter. Jack / Mari Jo were a good match...the few pairings of his that worked.

Personally, since Stafford ended up quitting in 1997 anyway, maybe have Phyllis be the shooter.  She meant to shoot Christine and got Victor by mistake.  Phyllis would have kidnapped Chris and tortured her..would be in total character.

I think 1996 was when Bell's health started to decline..imho

I would have 100% been okay with that, tbh. Phyllis always kind of annoyed me, even under Bell, so to be rid of her in favour of Mari Jo, who absolutely fascinated me, and could have absolutely been a long-term, calculated schemer, would have worked for me, 100%. Having her go off the rails was a letdown, and, yeah, was a sign Bell's health was in decline.

I've added all the episodes from my December 2006 DVDs to the Vault. The only episode missing is December 22, 2006... hoping someone here can add that!

Thanks for all you do!  

I do love the chemistry between Nikki and the dashing Dr. Josh Landers! too bad his crazy wife killed him so soon thereafter  

In 1974, Lee Phillip Bell presented 2 documentaries on the CBS Chicago station WBBM 'The Rape of Paulette' and 'Why Are You So Afraid of Breast Cancer?'. Those two topics were a big part of Y&R around that time.

Thank you! I actually loved 2006 🥰 I know, most people don`t lol… 😂

As I was editing the videos I kept thinking parts of this are not so bad (especially compared to today!). I'll be adding some November 2008 episodes as I edit them. 

2006 was with Latham and Alden as co head writers.  Shame it didn't last because Latham had interesting ideas and Alden had the history and soap opera writing experience to make those ideas work.

The first half of 2006 was pretty solid work and the show felt like it was getting refocused again. There were some great moments like Neil finding out the truth about Lily’s paternity, Victoria/JT one night stand, Sharon’s famous confrontation with Nick In Phyllis’s lingerie, and the initial tainted face cream story was pretty juicy. 
 

Then came along Brad’s past and Victor’s mystical epilepsy complete with lousy Hope recast (wasn’t it the lady who played Tracy McKay on Dallas lol?). That along with Jack becoming the devil incarnate the show quickly went off the rails by late summer.

Was "Out of Ashes" in November 2006? Which we all called "out of their asses" which played out on a carpark for two weeks, allegedly cost a huge amount of money but looked and felt sooo cheap and pointless on screen. All I remember of it now is Jeanne Cooper walking around in a dusted face.

Out of the Ashes was 2007, which is of Y&R’s worst years ever. 2006 did have the ice storm event in which Carmen was murdered and Summer was born in the elevator. 

Hey everyone! Just giving you a heads up that the Vault is currently full. I'll do my best to come up with a quick/temporary solution to clear up space over the next 2-3 days, and maybe a more permanent solution in the next few weeks (I'm thinking of maybe splitting Y&R and B&B into separate vaults). I'll give everyone a heads up when it's ok to start uploading again.

Thanks for the update, @ChickenNuggetz92! And most importantly, thanks for maintaining the vault altogether; I don't post here that often, but I'm in the middle of deep dive from 2010 thanks to the vault and I'm really enjoying it. I greatly appreciate the time and trouble it takes to maintain it!

1) What was "Out of Ashes"

2) what is this about Victor's epilepsy?

3) And what about Jack! Please tell me he didn't actually become the devil LOL
