Thanks for those articles Carl!

I have an interesting question? what did everyone think of the Carol/Skip adopting a baby from that young couple Nan and Jeff. I ask because i just got some episodes from April 1990, that has that storyline. I wasn't exactly jumping out of my chair to see this storyline, but i have to say I was impressed with Christopher Templeton's acting during this one scene where she learns Nan wants to have blood tests done on the baby so they could see if Jeff was the father. Carol gets upset and lets her have it verbally, and delivers very realistic acting. I must say it's a shame that Bill stopped writing for Carol and Skip just disappeared.

BTW, here is some more old clips I found

It's mostly the unseen bermuda footage from the end of the George Rawlins murder tale, mixed with scenes with other characters (like Carol,Skip and Nan)

Haha, I was thinking the same thing... I wish i know for sure if it was actually her, but i just don't know. If it is, that's really cool! I wish i knew how Y&R stars past and present, reacted to seeing old episodes on youtube. I know it's creepy, but i have made a wish list of Y&R stars that i would love to watch old episodes with. It gives me chills, that as we speak that some of them have probably watched some of the old episodes that I already uploaded.

Kimberlin Brown is on the top of my list, LOL. SInce she has said so herself that she has watched old clips of her on youtube. Victoria Rowell would be fun too, if you wanted to hear more backstage gossip, LOL

Yeah, at times I wish I knew their thoughts, and sometimes I am glad I don't. Sometimes with Y&R I think the less we know the better!

Damn that girl who is going to give her baby to Carole and Skip is annoying.

Skip looks so much like Chris Noth, and Steven Moffat. I'm surprised he didn't get more work in primetime - he has that "look" which was suited for the early 90's.

Yeah....I what you mean, Even the nicest Y&R stars will always have negative things to say about their times at the show, that I'm sure they just wish to forget.

I agree about Nan, even though i thought the actress that played Julie, the girl who was addicted to cocaine, was way worse with her fake cry "laughter" I guess most of the short term young girls Bill hired, never could really cut it as good actresses.

Did Skip just disappear or did he actually get written off?

The location sequences were gorgeous, and the music choice was sublime. It's like an old art film.

I don't think the soap press was all that fond of Marge, but you can see why fans loved her, and why Jeanne Cooper did (and she got to really ham it up).

My old SOD's say that the Marge storyline was terribly written, but I thought it was a fun story (from what i have seen) and Jeanne really shined playing a dual role.

I'm not too pleased that the ending was bittersweet, with Rex marrying Jill and not going back to Katherine right away, but I guess Bill wanted that conflict to continue. Plus we got Rex/Leanna because of that and they are always pretty fun.

It's funny how when Rex and Kay eventually remarried in 1992, they didn't have a story (minus filler here and there) until they decided to Kill Rex off.

I think the Marge story worked because you could tell Jeanne enjoyed playing the role. I guess it was also a break from Katharine's usual stories - her conflicts were from within, or with Jill. Not some random kidnappers. It changed things up.

It's strange to me that they couldn't come up with any story for Rex in those last few years. There was so much potential.

Um...I do not remember this "special potions" stuff with Ramona and Victor at all. Or that she was friends with Phyllis' nanny (wasn't that Phyllis' nanny? Who was she taking care of by that point?).

I never knew how hung up Jack was on Ramona either. Kind of pathetic (not as pathetic as Ashley being appalled at taking up with a married man though...).

Not a good hairdo for Ashley.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.

      I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.

      Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.

      Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?

      You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job
