Members kalbir Posted March 18, 2022 Members Share Posted March 18, 2022 There's even a promo for a February 1982 episode of The Price is Right that pays tribute to Y&R. That's three Y&R themed episodes of TPiR that we know of in the 1980s (February 1982, June 1983, February 1985). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted March 18, 2022 Members Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I thought it was Molly Ringwald! LOL Please register in order to view this content I need to backtrack on all the Lorie stuff now that we have a more chronological list of the videos thanks to the wonderful @will81 I just wish we'd get a lot more full episodes out of these clips!! LOL I would die if any full 1979 came popping up, especially with early MTS Nikki/Paul and the abusive Nick Reed, and of course the Katherine/Jill/Derek/Suzanne stuff! Cash's story about his mother was very sad, and gruesome, considering how he dies a month later! I felt a little uncomfortable at the end the way he drunkingly comes onto to Katherine...They really could have found more to do with him IMO. When do you really ever hear about a lady killer who actually HATES women and is straight as they come?? Loved Paul and Carl confronting Jack. More and More it's hard to believe this is the same swarmy jackass that Bergman has been playing for almost 33 years! two totally different characters at this point. Lorie recounting her terrible history with Vanessa and the shooting was great! It just proves that Vanessa really was just an overbearing controlling person who could not be cured from whatever mental sickness she endured.

Members BoldRestless Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks! So I had the month correct then. Just wondering, do you ever plan to finish 1985 on the Soaps of Yesterday Blog? I was using your site to figure out the correct dates for the Soap Opera Digest 80s recaps because they add a lot more detail (sometimes practically recounting the dialogue in a scene). I did that for 1975-1984 so far. And of course once I get to 1986 it will be easy cause there are daily recaps. Just need to finish 1985. No rush, since I'm very busy right now and won't even be able to look at it til May or June, but do know that I still check your site for updates all the time, it was an excellent resource! Super excited for this 1982 ep, unbelievable Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Titus Andronicus Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 That may have been one of his first dates. A few newspapers in March 1982 announced his arrival. Kenney seems to have been trying to get away from soap directing after leaving Days in January 1980 and had projects in both 1980 and 1981. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 Yes I have plans to return to that. Life has been hectic, so I needed to take a break, but things are getting themselves together, so I will have more time for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members will81 Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 From Newsday May 13, 1981 announcement of Steven Ford joining Y&R.

Members YRfan23 Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 That’s awesome!! his last day was December 2, 1987 when he decided to stay in Pittsburgh with Faren and Betsy would you be able to find out Michael Damian’s debut from 1981? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) I couldn't find anything definitive. This was all I could find from June 12, 1981 Edited March 19, 2022 by will81 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks @YRfan23 for clarifying Ford’s last air date! I thought so but I was confused as I’ve read it some recaps/synopsis that made it seem like Andy & Faren aired into January ‘88 but I’m guessing it was a delay in publishing and/or throwing in last minute details about the story’s conclusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 Second half of 1986 through the end of 1987 was a mini-transition era. Ed Scott takes over as EP in November 1986, and June 1987 was the first of the big three late 1980s recasts (Brenda Dickson/Jess Walton). There's also a cast purge w/ the departures of Marla Adams, Colleen Casey, Alex Donnelly, Steven Ford, Lauren Koslow, Julianna McCarthy, Phil Morris, Robert Parucha, Jon St. Elwood, James Storm, Stephanie Williams. Bill Bell casted Lauren Koslow and James Storm on B&B. Marla Adams, Alex Donnelly, Steven Ford, Julianna McCarthy, Robert Parucha, Stephanie Williams would have brief returns years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted March 19, 2022 Members Share Posted March 19, 2022 Your welcome! Please register in order to view this content We are lucky we have that episode in German and English on here. I don't think we see Faren and Andy anymore after this date. Please register in order to view this content He's not credited as Ep till October 1987 I think though right? I think Bill Bell had a self credit EP role from Fall 1986-Fall 1987 then he became Senior EP when Ed Scott was promoted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 20, 2022 Members Share Posted March 20, 2022 I think those house cleanings are necessary from time to time as casts become bloated and there needs to be room for new characters. Don't know I agree with all the choices. Faren and Andy -yes-they got a happy ending, although it was nice for Paul to have a sidekick Julianna definitely should have stayed and I think Marla had a place on the canvas. To write off all of the black characters? Bill should have immediately brought on some new black characters. Loved Lauren and Alex and both Lindsay and Diane could have been used more- maybe a triangle with Matt Miller? It is hard to let characters go. Who would you have dropped at this time?
