Thanks!

I mixed up Chris with Trish (the first actress to play the role of Chris Brooks. By the way, this one is the second actress).

If John McCook as Lance Prentiss appeared for the last time in may 1980, these scenes should be early 1980. I wonder why Lance and Lorie were having a so heated argument. He seems very upset and she seems very sad in the last gif.

So cute! It kills me that someone recorded the promos, but never the episodes. I think Nikki is wearing the outfit from when she met with Rose in December 1979 to set up the rendezvous with Walter Addison.

 

Isn't the blonde in the second gif Leslie with her hair blonde as "Priscilla."

In February 1980, Lorie was forced by Vanessa to divorce Lance, supposedly for his own good. Vanessa was going to reinstate him at Prentiss only if she divorced him. He had been very depressed losing his place to Lucas. I really hate those stories where people who love each other get a divorce due to external causes (also done with Leslie/Brad and Lauren/Paul).

Ciao!

I thought the same, that the blond was Leslie in disguise due to her amnesia.

If those scenes are from december 1979, 10 months of full episodes aired in Italy before that promo. So I suppose italian episodes started from US february 1979 episodes (just right when Melody Thomas Scott debuted as Nikki).

Just read the last part, thanks.

So in 1980 she chose Lance's well-being and his leading position at Prentiss Industries instead of her own happiness in love. Ironically 2 years later Lance lost the company due to a Lorie's mistake. She was played by Victor. Eventually she managed to give the company back to Lance. Her last love gift to him before leaving Genoa City.

Of course-like Leslie I had a memory lapse.

The selfless sacrifice story always strikes me as an easy writer cop out eg Brad not telling Les he is going blind, Lorie telling Lance she no longer loves him to give him back Prentiss etc.

With  a little more thought and imagination the story could have progressed without characters looking like idiots.

As for Leslie/Pris that story was a bomb from the get go. There was enough intrigue with the 4L's without sending Leslie off on this tangent.

Does everyone know about the Lilyan Chauvin interviews on Youtube, circa 1989-91?

LC played Pierre's sister Marianne from '73-74 and then Kay and Esther's captor Lil from '89-90.  LC was also a UCLA professor and did these celebrity interviews as educational for young people looking to get into showbiz.

Here's the overall playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNgU0a9tCKImJPwhT8H9icpRIPU3t8L1i

 

YR people on the list...

- Robert Clary: this was my favorite. What a life he led. He talks the most about YR, and Days too. I didn't know LC also played his sister on Days. Per Jason47's website, she played "Suzanne" on Days from 79-80.

- Morey Amsterdam: this interview was probably filmed right after Morey and Lil finished their stint on YR.  Another guy with a fascinating career.

- Christopher Templeton: what a delightful lady. Barely talks about YR, though.

- Jeanne Cooper: also barely talks about YR and has quite a few stream-of-consciousness monologues

 God love her

There's also a Lee Phillip Bell interview but she only talks about BnB so I'll post it there.

I've been meaning to ask... anyone know this actress who appeared on the May 29-30, 1990 episodes? Rex grabs her out of the hallway because he and Jill need a witness for their wedding. She looks so familiar.

I believe this is Pat Crawford Brown!  
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0114390/?ref_=tt_cst_t_12

She also appeared again later in the show in 1996 as the flower seller, Nathan buys flowers from, before he gets run over. 

I think she's been in a lot of movies and shows as a character actress, she also played one of the choir nuns in "Sister Act"

LOL i totally missed that connection with "My Guy"  "Sister Act" is lowkey a favorite movie of mine too! 

on IMDB, it says she appeared on the show throughout 1998-2000 as well. She was always somebody you just saw in every movie and tv show at some point, like that other older actress I can't think of, but it's also somebody who was on Y&R as well too.

This clip is probably already around but at about 20 minutes Chevy Chase shows a short clip of Tom Selleck as Jed Sanders and Tom then briefly talks about the show.

(trigger warning for Chevy Chase)

    • from her nytime obit: ”Ms. Mahaffey had worked steadily over the past five decades, starting out on the NBC daytime soap opera, “The Doctors,” for which she received a Daytime Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in 1980.”
    • Do people have the same problem with Sami being a rapist who was married several times, and was the romantic lead of the show for many years? Honestly just wondering since the EJ thing has never been an issue for me.
    • Thank you!!! You knew I was coming.

       But it just seem like a pretty good one from what I've seen so far on the majority of the soaps. I'm just sorry that I'm so behind. lol.    I'm loving the DAYS praise since I'm still approaching mid-May. I am liking the new writers so far.    That said...oooooo you gave Y&R an F? I admit...I've not been liking it much either, but I am still surprised. Thank you!!!

      I only liked Ejabby for the sole purpose of breaking and freeing Sami from her rapist. They had Chem out the a@@ and it was messy fun until they tried to make it more then it needed to be. KM Abigail was more like MA Jack so her being a messy smug thot wasn't much of a stretch. I didn't really take to her Abigail until the Ben/Chad affair and the Cabin abs is a serial killer story for the 50th.
    • 5-27   UGH. SHUT UP, RIDGE!!!   So darn entitled, and I don't even care if he's right. Steffy and Hope FINALLY getting along does look suspect. But he's the last person to be sitting here and having an issue.   And I'm a sucker for it, but awwww. Carter and Hope got engaged.   Cute Liam/Finn moment. 
    • @Taoboi I was going to do one a few days ago. I'm glad you started the thread. Bold: F BTG: B- Days: A- GH: A- YR: I don't watch it.  
    • Here is my May Sweeps/Sleeps grades: BTG: A- Days: B- Y&R: F B&B: Z-  
    • I just read a theory that Hayley is Sharon's daughter and she sent her to Fairmont Crest and told her to get that bish (Anita) by infiltrating her family. LOL...Im not sure I believe that but it would be wild if they go that route
    • As much as I love Zaslow, did Roger ever really have a conscience?  I know the Dinah/Hart plot grew distasteful, but Roger had run rampant in Springfield since his return. I was ok with him finally getting a taste of his own medicine, so to speak.
