I haven't had time to watch but I'm so happy about this! When I saw Nikki in the red dress I got excited thinking maybe it was Nikki and Victor s first scene but then victor was talking about buying the Bayou so that clearly already happened. I hope that the person will start focusing more on those characters and Kay. I guess at the time the Brooks seemed so much more important!

Is anyone in touch with the uploader? Someone should invite him here or get his email in case YouTube deletes him.

Yes, on that note, we need to get the clips uploaded to the Vault since they aren't unlisted on YT. I don't know how to take a downloaded YT file and transfer it to the Vault. Is it easy?

- Despite some vids having 1980 in the description, I didn't identify any scenes actually being from '80... anyone else?

- Watching all these vids really highlights for me the insane tonal shifts between different storylines on YR.  The "L-L-L-L Romance Novel Quadrangle" in no way feels like the same show where Nikki throws the ashes of Edward's dead mother into his face and then heads back to the Bayou for a night of stripping.

The Four Ls quad had influence from literature (Le Morte d'Arthur as @Broderick pointed out) and biblical allusions. I guess the romance novel element might be due to the contrasts between the siblings: suave sophisticated Lance, rugged elemental Lucas, kind-hearted emotionally fragile heroine Leslie, jealous scheming vixen Lorie.

A lot of rare scenes in this next “Innocent Years” package. I don’t think we’ve ever seen the full scenes of Lorie getting booked for Vanessa’s “murder” and the full funeral scenes!

It's incredible. Just when I thought the well of YR vintage clips had run dry, we get this! Who would have ever thought we'd see the full Vanessa funeral.

I have to say... I know Lorie was always known to be a stubborn, headstrong character... but I am finding her a bit annoying TBH. In these recent clips, she just won't listen to reason. I guess you could partially attribute it to the shock of Vanessa jumping, but still... I'm getting Sami Brady vibes.

Don’t know if this has been discussed yet on here or not, but can somebody PLEASE tell me the reason why B&B has been uploading every single episode (by premieres) from the show daily and is now on episode 527 and Y&R hasn’t done it yet??? It’s truly so frustrating because we all know that every single episode of Y&R has been saved and is just sitting in archives with nothing being done with them. They don’t understand what a goldmine they’re sitting on.

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
