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.

    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

      look who’s at a party I’m at
    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward              
    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!
