Does anyone else have vintage YR scenes that you continually revisit? Here’s my Top 3 (all available in the Vault):

  1. 5/18/92, starting at 50:40. The climax to the initial Sheila saga gives me all the emotions I could ever ask for. Almost all of my favorite background music cues are used.

 

  1. 6/1/90, starting at 33:22. This scene has haunted me since the original air… the way it switches in an instant from heartwarming to horrifying:

  2. 5/30/2013, starting at 23:19. I’m surprised that something so recent makes my Top 3, but this scene builds so well on Traci and Lauren’s 30-year history and TEB and BM’s close friendship.

Responding to @janea4old's post from the April 2024 post here to add additional context.

 

 

Yup, they had it declared a historical site so Christine could stop the sale and save the tenants.

 

I found a detailed recap on Usenet. 

Unfortunately, this October 13, 1993 episode is not online AFAIK, and this doesn't give all the details of Kay's testimony. An SOD recap from October 1993 does say that "Cricket discovers that Civil War Hero Garfield Dandrige Chancellor is the man responsible for drawing up the first city charter. He also commissioned a world-renowned architect to build Rainbow Gardens. She attempts to have the building declared an historic monument."

I enjoyed the color commentary from the recapper... all the sneers, the snits... like it's a television show, where they show things, and it's... entertaining! I can totally picture Jeanne delivering that line "I am Katherine CHANCELLOR Sterling."


(wonder why none of this was mentioned at the recent "Bicentennial" LOL)

COURTROOM
Court is now in session. The judge has Cricket state
her case. She states that she is trying to stop the
destruction of a building that is most likely a historical
landmark and that she is seeking an injunction to prevent
its destruction. The judge asks if it has been declared a
landmark by the state historical landmark people. Cricket
tells the judge that the facts which would establish it as a
landmark have just been discovered. Chang, Hodgekin's
scumbag lawyer, thinks that Cricket is making an outrageous
attempt to stop a legal sale, and that this Katherine
Sterling person, whoever she is, has no interest in this
matter and is a fictitious plaintiff. Katherine stands up,
introduces herself to the judge, saying, "I am Katherine
Sterling... Katherine CHANCELLOR Sterling... and I assure
you that I have a deep and abiding interest in this
building, as should every bright and right thinking citizen
in Genoa City." Hodgekins shoots a very nasty look in her
direction.

COURTROOM
Cricket calls Katherine as her first witness. She
takes the stand and is sworn in. Cricket enters a book
belonging to Katherine as Plaintiff's Exhibit #1. The judge
asks for a general description of the book, but Chang
interrupts and asks what bearing an old book can have on
anything. The judge asks to see it, flips through it, and
tells Chang that he is right about one thing... it is a very
old book. He tells Cricket to proceed. Howard Hodgekins
sneers at her; Danny watches from the rear of the
courtroom....

COURTROOM
Cricket asks Katherine what the book is. She says it
is the Chancellor family Bible. It belonged to Phillip
Chancellor. It was given to him by his father, who received
it from his father. She stated that Phillip was the grandson of
Garfield Chancellor, who was a decorated Union general. Garfield
took up residence in Genoa City before it was even called
Genoa City. He had a dry good store before he built Rainbow
Gardens. Rainbow Gardens was mentioned by name in the
family Bible, and it is the same Rainbow Gardens which is
the subject of the petition. She tells that some of the
things of historical significance that happened there
include the first mayor living there, the city charter being
signed there, and several prominent families living there.
She stated that the building was sold during the Great
Depression, and that she is disgusted with the current
disgraceful state of the building. Chang does not want to
cross-examine her or offer evidence. The judge excuses
Katherine.
He asks Cricket how long it will take the Historical
Commission to make a decision, and what the action might be.
She refers the question to what's-his-name from the
commission. He thinks that an emergency decision can be
made within thirty days, and although he hesitates to speak
for the rest of the board, he thinks that the building will
be declared a landmark.
Howard Hodgekins bursts out in anger, stating that the
Landmark dude is blowing his deal. Hodgekins asks how he is
supposed to make a sale if he comes and turns the place into
a museum? The judge tells him that it is between him and
the buyers. The judge places the injunction on the
building, and says that the rest is up to the landmark
commission. Applause breaks out through the apartment.
Hodgekins storms out of the courtroom in a snit.

 

 

That was when Michael Damian (and Danny Romalotti) was offered the part in Joseph in the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat on Broadway, which of course led to the whole Phyllis thing.

 

The recent Danny/Cricket stuff was so lazy. Back in the day, we would have seen her trial and also gotten to know the characters involved, seen them at their home. And today, we don't even know what the trial is about! Could they not have even had a line where she explains that it's an important civil rights case involving XYZ, to really drive home how she's called to this... no, because they are afraid to offend anyone, so it's just "a client needs me." At least a couple of years ago they had Avery involved in the Innocence Project and at least made some references to it and you would occasionally see her visiting someone at the jail (and did a whole story with Tyler & Leslie's father). It just adds some color and life to the show. (Loved the character Avery, so classy and not like her sister!).

 

And anyway, whether they decide to say Christine and Danny are off on tour, or she's at a trial... it's all going to happen offscreen regardless...

 

 

 

I had forgotten that they used the same name! I dug into the 2018 recaps a bit. At one point Nick offers Tessa an application as a low-income tenant, which I had also forgotten about. The story also introduced Arturo Rosales as the contractor working on the redevelopment.

 

Closest I could find was this. It doesn't confirm it's the original Rainbow Gardens, but it's certainly possible.

Nick revealed that he'd offered to give Noah the insurance money from the Underground fire to rebuild the club, but Noah hadn't wanted it, so the funds were ready to use. He added that he only had about half of what it would take, but that was where Nikki stepped in. Nikki proclaimed that they were partners, and they hugged as Victor approached. Nikki announced that she and Nick would be working together to make an offer to buy the building Kathy had been evicted from, and they intended to fix it up and give low-income renters a nice place to stay.

 

"Kathy" is first seen on January 11, 2018, and says this

https://tvmegasite.net/transcripts/yr/older/2018/yr-trans-01-11-18.shtml

Kathy: Listen, lady, just because I'm cheap and I try to buy day-olds doesn't mean i don't know how to take care of my kids.

Sharon: Uh, no. I didn't -- I didn't mean to offend you. They seem happy and healthy. Just, if you want something more nutritious, I would love to send you home with something more than pastries. You do have a house or apartment to go to?

Kathy: Uh, we're in between places.

Sharon: Oh, wow. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Kathy: Yeah. No more sorry than me. It's capitalism at its finest. Next thing I know, my greedy landlord has decided to rent it out to some hipsters. Thought raising the rent would attract them. But little did she know that, you know, a bunch of kids with beanies and skinny jeans aren't gonna want to live in that building.

[ Chuckles ] So, um... I've been looking, but... prices have gone up, you know?

Sharon: Well, I work at a crisis hotline, and I have contacts in the social services department. I can give you their number. They can help. And until then, there's a women's shelter. You'll feel safe there with the kids.

Kathy: Look, I don't need your charity, okay? I'll -- I'll find us a place. Eventually.

Sharon: What about tonight? Where will you go?

    • Claybon said Samantha and Tyrell were initially 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons, first aged up to 10 or 11, and then finally to 16 and 17. Is that the first time soap children have been SORASed twice before ever airing?

      Is this someone you should be dealing with? I got the drama on lock. Leave it to me. You are my sister. You have loved & protected me every moment I've been in this world. It's my turn to stand up for you.

    • I just watched it, it was decent, looking forward to Martin's secret. Glad to get info on why the children were aged up!
    • !!! I felt the same. Martin secret has always been my favorite storyline.  I happen to Andre's wardrobe but it ages him. They have a grandpa vibe.

      , Facts! I would like to see something like that in Daytime. Both of y'all can back up off my husband! Tomas couldn't shine his shoes.
    • Brandy was an odd mish-mash of a character. A radical during her college days, then a journalist/romance writer, I believe? But not so much of a radical that she had a problem chasing millionaire Alan, LOL. The actress, JoBeth Williams, went on to have a pretty good movie and prime time career.
    • Bill attempts to use Smitty to send a veiled thread to Martin.

      Thought I’d share this video featuring Cathy Carricaburu, now Foxhoven, who played Nancy Becker from 1976-1978.

      She talks a little about her acting career starting around the 6 minute mark and briefly mentions Y&R. I’d be interesting to see some of her work on Y&R since it seems to be her most notable role.
    • I believe Henry Slesar intended that the Paige/Nola plot would play out over three to six months and Paige would be the new younger ingenue; but a few things happened. Sharon Gabet didn't renew her contract and the audience didn't like the Paige/Brian romance as it flirted with incest. Kim Hunter revealed in an interview that she as slated for 3 months but Henry asked her to stay on for an additional period. I watched Edge during this period when it originally aired and Margaret Colin was not great in the role. She seemed very green among the vets as was the dude playing Brian. He was poorly cast which was unusual for Edge.  I think Henry started to get pressure from ABC and P&G to jazz up the show given what was exploding under Monty on GH at the time. I loved Kim as Nola and all the stories it generated for others. Miles and Deborah in particular. But the next who dunnit plot in this period was not one of Henry's best (at least for me the culprit and explanation were lame for Henry).
