@AMCOLTLLover The first half of 1986 was when all the big storylines of the H. Wesley Kenney era culminated. The second half of 1986 was the start of Cricket eating the show.

Sums up the year perfectly. The redemption arc for Jack(while not must-see TV storyline wise, but very appealing acting wise) was also promimently feautured.

Re April Stevens

I have always seen Janet wood as originating the role and playing it for a short time before Cynthia Eilbacher took over.

Now it appears the original April was Patricia Allbrecht. Jon Michael reed reports the casting in a December 79 column. Maybe Allbrecht was only on for a day or two.

 

One more for the list, gosh this is proving to be a far richer task than I thought!

Patricia Albrecht was most likely there until Christmas 79 as Janet Wood was announced in Jan 1980 and her first appearance is likely Jan 21, 1980. Cindy Eilbacher took over sometime in Spring 1980.

Talk about wasted potential....I was hoping this would have been long term...but with the bad writing and GF unable to play the hard edges... the character didn't last.  You would have thought someone could recall that AMC tried a similar character in the early 90s and when she couldn't play the vixen..turned the character into another Laura.

The days when Jill cared more about that fraud poser than her actual son.

Yeah so much potential! But this time I blame the writing more than her acting, she was working Genevieve into being a complex Bad Girl! 

Not an old article, but a fun T&C article about the 50th

Some highlights for the TLDR crowd

If you grew up in the 1990s with a bunch of Ashleys in your school, you can thank the show. Eileen Davidson helped turn the name into a sensation a decade earlier, when she stepped into the stilettos of a character named Ashley Abbott, a glamorous heiress-slash-chemist. (The name Ashley, which previously had mainly been applied to boys, topped lists for baby girls for the first time around then.)

Early reality TV? Y&R was in the vanguard, for sure, when it aired the first live face-lift on TV, back in 1984. It happened when the show’s resident battle-ax, Katherine Chancellor, went under the knife in real time—and at the same time—as her portrayer, the extraordinary Jeanne Cooper.

Not to mention all the coifs that have come and gone.

“My hair has its own dressing room,” jokes Melody Thomas Scott. She is the soap diva who since 1979 has played stripper turned trophy wife Nikki Newman (half of the eternal super-couple Victor and Nikki), and whose dos arrived in increasingly colossal formations, particularly during the 1980s.
