These scenes with Jill watching John on Leanna's talk show just crack me up! Jess always does this ridiculous type of comedy so well and I love how believably fake Crampton always was in Leanna talk show host mode. There was just something so special about Leanna and her place on Y&R - it's why I always want her to come back (even if she would be ruined today).

I wish Leanna would come back too, It's shameful that Maria just prefers to hire primetime nobodys, and not hire back the true stars of Y&R.

I think Jess Walton is the only Jill who could muster these comedic scenes like this. The reason why this wouldn't work as well with Brenda Dickson i Believe is because Brenda's Jill was just as campy as Leanna, and these scenes worked with Jess because this was where she was starting to become less over the top, and Leanna was still very Campy and over the top.

I liked the Ashley/Victoria scenes, too bad that when Eileen returned they had her fighting with Victoria over Cole. I guess you have to suspend your belief and think that Eileen wouldn't have played a good "motherly" Ashley as well as Brenda.

I wonder if one of the reasons they brought Leanna in was because of Brenda's exit.

I have never really been able to buy ED Ashley as a mother, but then, making Abby 30 years old doesn't help.

I hadn't seen this promo before.

Was the Cassandra story the main story on the show for quite a while? I'm not sure I can remember one Y&R story getting so many promos in this era.

I feel the same way about the Cassandra story! It's hard to believe there are only a few clips from that storyline actually on youtube. Yet you could probably get the whole story if you watch the promos.

Thanks for posting this other clips Carl. I actually uploaded those full episodes, they are from September 13, and November 2 1990.

I wish we could know for sure if that was actually Nina Arvesen for real

Alas a promo featuring that strange purse swinging lady from the '88 opening!

Never knew there was a possible attraction with her for Paul I wonder if more was planned for her. It seemed interesting she was quickly put in place as not only Jack's new love interest but also as George Rawlins' niece.

Another promo I hadn't seen. I really want to see that dinner party now Is it me or did it seem like Y&R had a lot more jagged edge, complicated characters in this period - the only typical heroine type seems to be Cricket and I guess her mother, and eventually Ashley. I wonder if they were bringing more of these women in because Eileen Davidson had gone and after she left Ashley became more of a typical heroine.

I hadn't seen this one either. The part where Paul let his mother believe he was dead got some criticism from SOD.
