Do my eyes deceive me? Are the iconic plates that sat behind the sofa for years at the Newman Ranch making an earlier appearance in the clip from 75?

Someone must have seen their potential and decided to write them back in years later.

And Jen, if I had the choice b/w Bruce and Stu I'd be sticking with my hubby. Bruce is kinda creepy to me.

I noticed that the oval window from the Brooks home wound up at the Newman ranch as well. 

Bruce is kind of creepy. Wasn't he the brother to Elizabeth Foster ? His son Mark became engaged to Lorie, but they had to break up when they found out they were half siblings due to Jen's affair with Bruce years earlier. Bill Bell kind of repeated this same paternity reveal in the 80's with Dina, Ashley and Brent Davis. He also repeated Leslie's mental breakdown storyline with Ashley right down to the same 3 women in the asylum tormenting her, although different actresses portrayed them in the 80's.

Yep! I always thought that!!! It was Recycling at it's best! Like Father Like Son! Except the Father knew hoe to make it seem fresh!

I believe it was off screen, I think Stuart comes says she died in her sleep probably from a heart attack, there's a clip on the Vault of that period that shows Lorie Mourning with a very guilty conscience over their last conversation being a huge fight

Kay had zero friends at her ’74 introduction and moving forward, due to her selfish nature, bitterness and alcoholism. It would be impossible for her to invite Jennifer to lunch or bring her flowers, unless she thought Jennifer could somehow assist her in holding on to Phillip or Derek.

There was backstory that Kay was friends with Dina Abbott, but I picture it was a superficial booze-fueled connection

Kay’s first true friend, where Kay gave without expecting something in return, might be Liz in the late 70s.

If not Liz, it would be Nikki.

    • -- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake. -- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL -- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense. -- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer. -- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem. -- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.

    • Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right?  I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is). 
    • For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her. 
    • Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing. 
    • Unfortunately no….no one can touch Steffy

    • Tamara Tunie was exhilarating today. All her scenes were emotional, touching, and heartbreaking. 
    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
    • Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her. 
    • She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.  
    • Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.
