Though Drucilla and Olivia loved each other, the disparity in their upbringings (Olivia was favored by their parents, Walter and Lillie Bell), took them down different paths in life. One thing they had in common, however, was an attraction for the same men, which had them at odds more than once.

Cassandra, portrayed by Nina Arvesen, is married to the wealthy George Rawlins. Despite their marriage, Cassandra engages in an affair with private investigator Paul Williams. George becomes aware of this infidelity and, driven by jealousy and a desire for revenge, orchestrates a plan to frame Paul for his own murder. This scheme leads to George's actual death, with Paul initially being accused of the crime.

Back in the day I felt that Ellen Winters was Y&R's answer to Santa Barbara's Mary Duvall. 

Over the years several viewers have suspected that Dru would show up as Amy's sister. With Amy gone, Bill Bell created Olivia and the rest is history. This is one of the things I love about soaps. The show must always go on, one way or another. 

VP feels like a completely different character.

I hope all those clips are being saved for when that account eventually gets taken down.

Good to see The Newman Ranch returning. I hope they find a new decorative big blue plate to replace the old one.

The destruction of Gina's and the Newman Ranch were two of the stupidest moves in Y&R. I also hope to see the Chancellor Estate more. What goes through these producers heads? "Let's destroy a classic long-standing set for shock value and not rebuild it." ?

Sometimes such moves advanced plaque, I don't think the show benefited in this case.

I agree that Mamie wasn't reflective of a black female audience.  Though I liked her, Mamie gave house slave vibes. It's in her name. They gave her character more backbone when Veronica Redd took over.

It just occurred to me that she was 40 something years old playing a woman of John Abbott's age -- 60 something.

Hello.  I have been reading these forums for a couple of years now and have now finally decided to join.  

I have these two October 1988 episodes in French that weren't in the Vault.  I would have uploaded them there, but there was no space.  So I have put them on WeTransfer.  The link is below:

It is the 3rd and 4th October 1988.  Hope you enjoy

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
