Members Maxim Posted December 12, 2023 Members Share Posted December 12, 2023 I want to start watching after failing to get into the show so many times. I think it is because I do not know when to start watching. Can someone help me with a year where a lot of storylines are starting and its easier to get into. Like a more of a reset period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted December 12, 2023 Members Share Posted December 12, 2023 Personally I would say the vault clips of 1982 (there are not too many full episodes 1982-1985). Then in 1986 you can pick up the full episodes in German if you wish. 1982 is when the Brooks family and Lorie are phased out and the main storylines begin to center around Victor, Nikki, Katherine, and the Abbotts. I did this during the pandemic when they started being uploaded and I also read along with the Soap Opera Digest tumblr to fill the gaps. I would just stop reading when it started talking about things I hadn't seen yet. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted December 12, 2023 Members Share Posted December 12, 2023 Thank you. I may start with the german episodes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted December 12, 2023 Members Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) You'll have over two years worth of full episodes all in order! After March 1988, there are many episodes, but not a whole complete collection like B&B. I stopped watching at December 1988 myself waiting for more full episodes to come along, sigh.

Members YRfan23 Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 It is kind of annoying how we don’t really get as many “new” full uploads of classic Y&R these days Please register in order to view this content archive isn’t even giving that many and at one time it seemed like every other day there was something new that popped up! what a Christmas gift it would be to end the 50th anniversary celebration if Brad Bell bought out the rights to the Y&R archive and started streaming the episodes in order! Or even better had all the seasons uploaded and you could choose which season or year to start from! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members asafi Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 jess Walton claimed the role of Jill in this powerful scene.. clearly Philip died. bringing him back years later was ridiculous. https://x.com/MarcoMcinroy/status/1737678542090150193?s=20 Please register in order to view this content https://x.com/MarcoMcinroy/status/1737678718582374862?s=20 Nina vs Jill & Katherine (1989) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 I Remember Nina Describing the Scene Perfectly while Angrily Confronting him about it! so yeah they knew what they were doing and Still did it Anyway, And Why? Phillip was never on the Show for long after that, so they basically Ressurrected him for the sake of doing it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 I think Maria Arena Bell has plans for Thom Bierdz to be a major character in a romance with the lawyer named Rafe, but those plans never came together... mainly due to Thom's lackluster acting. I remember he wrote an article in SOD a few months after his return, explaining and apologizing for his acting choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 I remember his explanation/apology, too, @yrfan1983. And you're right: MAB and her team had plans for Phillip that were scuttled by the poor quality of TB's acting. But I say, if you go to the trouble of resurrecting a character who died on screen, then you need to do something with them. Recast Phillip if you need to - heck, we all can think of actors who could play that role pretty well - but get him back in Genoa City and get his story up and pumping (tm MAB). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joseph Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 I often thought the same, Adding Phillip To The Mix Would've made The Chancellor Drama a Lot better! Still to this Day, Phillip would be an valuable Asset to the show, not to mention it would be interesting having an older gay character on canvas, Phillip Sexuality was never explored onscreen, I don't think American Doaps dared having Older Gay Characters on the shows for long, Craig is the only that comes to mind, and that's because it was recent and they kinda explored his sexuality 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 Don't even mention Craig's coming-out story to me, @Joseph. I'm still attempting to recover from that travesty, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that came out, fans should've band together and get set on Ron's Firing! Ruining A long term relationship like Craig And Nancy's For that stupid story, him getting together with Leo then dumping him, really I kept hoping both that And Chanel And Allie were The Devil's Influence on The people of Salem! Allie And Chanel was another pointless pairing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members asafi Posted December 22, 2023 Members Share Posted December 22, 2023 and he clearly died!!!! we all saw, he died in jill's arms! he died, so bringing him back years later was super insulting to loyal fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
