It was a great storyline overall, but I had a few issues. Nikki moved on from Josh's death far too quickly, which felt unrealistic. Marrying Victor on her deathbed was overly dramatic and didn’t make much sense. As for the final showdown with Sarah in the barn, the story ended so abruptly. After terrorizing Nikki for so long, Sarah was killed off far too quickly, leaving the resolution feeling rushed and unsatisfying.

Hi all!!
So does anyone by chance know if we’re any closer to the entire series becoming available for streaming? Has anyone heard anything? It’s such a shame we can’t watch the full series currently, especially since we know for SURE every single episode has been saved from day one until now. I really only watch the first 11 years of the show where and when I can. I’m so hoping one day we can get the full series on a streaming platform or even on their official YouTube channel like B&B has been doing for a while now. That first decade was GOLD from what I’ve read and seen.

Thank you for the welcome.  I have been watching for about 15 to 20 years but have watched a lot of the older episodes from predominately the 80s and 90s.   I prefer watching the classics sometimes

I would absolutely love to see it from the very beginning.  I don't see why they won't release them with the fact all of them have been saved.  Here's hoping one day they will

The Journal, 8 October 1978

What's Behind The Unveiling? BY DICK KLEINER HOLLYWOOD -

The world of soap operas is a strange and uncanny place, full of odd behavior that defies rational explanation. And that's why the devoted audience of CBS' "The Young and the Restless" never batted an eye when Vanessa Prentiss took off her veil. Vanessa Prentiss is one of the fixtures of the soap opera, and one of Vanessa's fixtures has been her veil, giving her an air of mystery. Supposedly, she was once badly scarred in an accident and, ever since she first started on the show, Vanessa has worn her veil. Vanessa is playedby K.T. Stevens, an actress of beauty and charm and talent—and no need for a veil. Things move very.slowly on soap operas, and Vanessa has been going to a plastic surgeon for those scars for a long time. And now the veil is off—and K.T. Stevens isn't quite sure what that means to her future.

Soap opera actors often look for clues like that to get an advance hint about whether their characters will continue or be written out. And K.T. is curious now. Does the fact that the veil is gone hold any significance to her future state of employment? Or will it simply be something that is soon forgotten? She wants.to stay. She likes working, and says that being on a soap opera is the-best possible job for an actress who enjoys working. "Soap operas," she says, "give you the feeling that you are always employed, which I like. And even on days when your character is not on the show, you can relax at home, knowing that you are not unemployed, merely off for a day or two."

This, as it happens, is K.T.'s fourth soap ""opera. She was on "General Hospital" for about a year—and was finally written out when her lover, a drug addict, went off to a hospital for a cure and she went along. And she was on a flop opera, one of the few of the genre that didn't make it. It was called "Paradise Bay," and she wasn't written out of that one, it just collapsed around her. So you can understand her trepidation about what the unveiling of Vanessa Prentiss might mean- to her job situation. K.T. Stevens isn't the only one in her family working in a soap opera. Her former husband, Hugh Marlowe, has been a mainstay of "Another World" for seven years. And their son, Chris, is now a regular on "Love of Life." She has always wanted to "act. She grew up in Hollywood, where her father, ihe late Sam.Wood, was a distinguished

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
