Billboard Feb 87

Young And Restless Dealer.

Beth Maitland, Emmy Award winning star of the CBS -TV soap opera "The Young And The Restless," entered the home video market with the opening of Private Eye Video in the Los Angeles suburb of Valencia. The actress and her business partner, recording engineer Christopher Benninger, hope the single -store enterprise will develop into a chain.

She was married to him right? Is her daughter from that marriage? Wonder how that business went...

Come to think of it.. Y&R was great during the first 25 years.. 73-98. pure magic. fascinating storytelling and characters writing. but the next 25 years.. or at least the last 20 years.. big flop. crap. 

maybe TPTB should just focus on classic episodes from 70-90's.. and broadcast them all over again. instead of the crap we see today

For the Y&R 50th, they had a big party for current, former, and very early cast and crew.
I started a photo thread at this link ...

Please add anything you want to that thread, if you find any oldtime cast/crew who has posted stuff from the party on their social media. Or post it here or wherever you want.

I think the spontaneous candid photos are more fun than the redcarpet poses.  Cool to see old friends hugging.

I remember Eva on a talk show making fun of the director for the scene when she tried to down Cricket, how he kept telling her to make sure the knife catches the light, or something. As if it was so stupid that a soap would try to stage something artistically.

 

I never ever understand how people try to validate soaps with the fact that so many famous actors got their starts there. I honestly don't think most of them are any more talented than the actors who have been on soaps for decades. I mean I don't think anyone would rate Tom Selleck, David Hassellhoff, Eva Longoria, or Shemar Moore as the greatest actors to have ever been on Y&R. They were in the right place at the right time, got on the right series, good for them, but they aren't all that impressive. I don't think Demi Moore or John Stamos hold a candle to most of the GH cast either.

    • First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.   
    • I always get the vibe that Martin/Smitty have an emotional abusive relationship set up... but I doubt the show will really go there with that element given that Martin is a Dupree (and we can't have the Duprees be portrayed in a negative light), and because it's a gay male relationship.   Even though abuse in the physical or emotional sense is a huge thing in a lot of gay and lesbian relationships. The Ashley/Naomi scene reads off to me for one reason....  Ashley was talking about the new scandal without any sort of mention and/or subtext.. considering she knew both Silk Press Sheila and Eva.  I'm not sure if the writers have forgotten, if Jen Jacobs isn't able to play subtext, or what.   It's just apparent the writers do not know how to write a young white millennial couple.. and perhaps they need to get a younger white script writer to be on staff... or let the actors play around with the lines to make them more natural/realistic.
    • This is as good a time as any to point out that the 90 minute show was, what I like to call  "cockamamie idea" of Fred Silverman, head of NBC Daytime Programming. He did so well at ABC & CBS but not so NBC. We learned this from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay, 2006, can be found on YouTube, audio only. Now, to be clear, Rauch was completely behind it. Only Lemay fought against it & eventually quit over it.   
    • She was so wonderful. Glad your handle has been a tribute to her.
    • Hopefully Alan has learned to not interrupt or interject with pointless information while someone is in the middle of telling a story. I almost think it would be better if Alan was a producer behind the scenes.. and he just had the actors on screen talking and asking one another questions.  Those interviews tend to work better.
    • It was only recently announced that Denise Alexander passed away on March 5, 2025. She was my all time favorite actress and role model. She will be dearly missed.  Denise Alexander, ‘General Hospital' and ‘Days of Our Lives' Actress, Dies at 85
    • Hopefully Alan will actually read the book beforehand.

    • Am I the only one who immediately thinks of this every time someone mentions Smitty?
