Thanks for uploading them!

 

So I'm finding more on that person's page... not all are labelled as Y&R. This is a godsend!

 

This one is identified as Days but it's a 1988 episode of Y&R:  https://archive.org/details/days-of-our-lives-partial-nws-9-25-10-91

 

At the end here is a Y&R from maybe 1991 (Cricket flashes back to her wedding)... LOL at Brad and Traci's pool outfits: https://archive.org/details/channel-nine-daytime-timeshift-nws-9-25-04-95

Days of our lives partial nws-9 9-25-91 = 1988-07-13 we have in the vault

Paul & Andy dig her out and save her. Paul picked Lauren up carrying her but nothing more was shown on-screen. Next time Lauren appears on-screen she is fine as nothing ever happened.

Thanks-I was wondering how Gothic they went with it. That's crazy they just swept passed it.

The second one is 1991-09-26 we already have, but I think this one is better quality and complete.

Thanks for figuring out the dates. Too bad they are not new. I uploaded this one in the vault since it's better quality.

Here's another Australian episode from late March 1985 featuring a scene between Dina, Ashley, and Victor that is in the vault clips! There's also a beautiful performance of Kenny Rogers' "Crazy" by Patty Weaver at the 18:48 mark directed to Neil Fenmore who is in the audience.

Lol, yeah. Even as a kid I would ignore her scenes, so I often forget she was in it so much. I pretty much skip her scenes on re-watch unless it is neccessary to view them. I did the same with Josh Morrow as Nicholas. I rarely paid attention to anything he was saying and only tuned into his scene partners, haha

In saying that I don't dislike Lauralee Bell, but Cricket is often annoying or worse, not interesting.

Oh Now i know why Terry Lester Complained! I've never got into the late 1980's properly, i didn't see anything wrong with her on the handful of episodes from 1983-89 episodes i spotted her in, So i guess Cricket only turned interesting after the rape

Cricket wasn't annoying when she showed up on school breaks from Spring 1983 to Spring 1986. Summer 1986 to end of 1989 was when Cricket ate the show. I also skip her scenes whenever an episode from that era shows up.

Haha, yeah I was never a fan. I kept waiting for him to get better in the role but I think ultimately he was miscast. I think John Nelson-Alden should have held on to the role a few years and Nicholas could have been part of the late 90's teen set with some minor aging and with someone else in the role.

Yes sorasing Nick so soon ultimately was short sighted.

Nick was born in 89 and was a  teen lead 6 years later and married by 97.

To fill the gap Billy was then sorased to be the new teen in 99 when again he was only 6 years old.

If the writers had been a bit more creative the show would be in better shape later on.

Maybe Matt Miller's son shows up in GC looking for his dad who has vanished. He stays with Victor and Nikki as a surrogate son and plays out the Nick stories.

Jennifer Foster was born in 1981 and could have returned in the mid to late 90's. She could have fallen for Brock's previously unknown son, thus setting Kay and Jill against each other in a variation of Mac/Billy.

Re Cricket : do we have any episode counts from that time to see if she actually led the appearance counts or did it just seem that way?

Agreed with the above. In terms of Cricket. Her appearances started going up in 1987 and even more so once Brenda was gone (probably just a coincidence)

We don't have enough from 1988 or 1989 to know for sure, but after the 87 counts I wouldn't be surprised. She was fourth for the year with 146 appearances of 246 eps. Lauralee was only behind Eric (148), Eileen (156) and Thom (156) for that year.

Not to mention that for years his Big Sister was Younger Than Him! The Natural Difference Between Victoria and Nicholas was What? 5 years? Now it's 1 year
