Members DRW50 Posted January 5, 2021 Members Share Posted January 5, 2021 Apparently this is going to get even worse. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/12/case-act-hidden-coronavirus-relief-bill-just-beginning-next-copyright-battle I guess, like you said, we'll just save what we can and hope some treasures will still appear. That's the part that most bothers me...knowing some may have material out there we have never known of, but won't share now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted January 5, 2021 Members Share Posted January 5, 2021 Well THAT article was grim and scary. You know, I still have tons of ancient material on DVD-R, VHS and even Beta (!!!). A lot of it still plays, but my decades-old videotapes are now hit-and-miss. I've copied hours and hours of vintage shows and sent them out to friends, but even when they have uploaded those tapes to the internet, the uploads often disappear without warning. The stuff I've transferred to USB is now corrupted and lost. How are we supposed to save all our treasures? Videotapes wear out, USB keys get corrupted, internet sites delete precious stuff. We can preserve video and audio on our laptops, sure, but once our computers die, as they are all wont to do, the material is lost to us from there as well. It's so disheartening. I know, I know: "It's only old TV shows." People tell me this all the time, in a dismissive manner. But I LOVE classic soaps, and once these episodes are gone from among collectors, they will be lost forever. I'm going to be so depressed if I cannot find that 1974 Alice/Rachel/Aunt Liz confrontation scene again. Sigh and grunt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 5, 2021 Members Share Posted January 5, 2021 I guess Google Drive may be the best for now (or the "vaults" that some mention on here - I've never actually been invited to any). Hopefully something can change someday. If I ever find that clip I'll let you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted January 5, 2021 Members Share Posted January 5, 2021 I have been given links to the Y&R vault a few times, but every time I try to return, I get a message saying that I need to sign in with a password. I just tried to access the vault right now and I got a notification which said the page might have been moved or deleted. Google Drive might indeed be our best option. I have friends who use it and it seems to work well for them, although I have never downloaded any of my own stuff there yet. I'm going to start looking into that now that my USB drive is dead. If I downloaded 64 GB of stuff to a second USB stick and that died too, I'd be murderous, LOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted January 10, 2021 Members Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hey all. I recall a few years ago there was a scene after AJ’s shooting, and Sonny had a scene with the Three Carlys in the chapel (SB, TB, LW). Is my mind playing tricks, or was there *another* scene where they did the same thing, only this time they had all four Carlys (including JB)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members full hearts Posted January 10, 2021 Members Share Posted January 10, 2021 No, there wasn't another scene like that. After her exit in 2005, JB has not appeared on the show since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted January 12, 2021 Members Share Posted January 12, 2021 As it should be. She was terrible as Carly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted January 17, 2021 Members Share Posted January 17, 2021 Was readingup on Sean Donely and saw that he and Monica had an affair. Was that well received? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted January 17, 2021 Members Share Posted January 17, 2021 I enjoyed it. It culminated with Monica throwing the Quartermaines out and if I have my timeline correct, they moved into Kelly’s and Lila’s relish was born. Sean stole their money too if I remember correctly. It was fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted January 17, 2021 Members Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yup, what happened was, Alan had a midlife crisis (a friend had died) and cheated on Monica with a nurse. Sean was a patient at GH (I think he was trying to avoid prosecution so he'd prolong his symptoms). Anyway, Monica and Sean got together, Alan and Monica were once again on the outs, there was other Quartermaine drama like the breakup of Jimmy Lee and Celia's marriage and Monica's cousin Lorena hooking up with Derek Barrington because she couldn't have Jimmy Lee, Sean stole the Qs money, Monica kicked them out, Alan faked his death and having amnesia while living a simple country life, Tiffany came back to PC and fell for Sean, Lila and Stella invented Pickle-Lila, Jimmy Lee stole Alan's girl Charity and married her before leaving town finally at peace with Edward and Alan and Monica ended up back together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoria foxton Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Not my favorite era. Still better than the last 20 yrs. GH was in state of transition. I marvel at how quickly. Wendy Riche got the show in good shape again. Carl is that Tobey Maguire? Edited January 19, 2021 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
