If the tape of the 1994 Ross and Blake nuptials is still misplaced, the Paley Center has a copy. If it isn't, well I hope we see it on another release eventually. I was wondering why there wasn't any Roger and Holly from the 90s, but that answers that question as they had a big part on that episode. There was barely a year where Roger and Holly had a bit of happiness.

When it comes to GL selling more, one of my theories has to do with the actors. While ATWT had a lot of great performers, many of them didn't really work outside of ATWT or other P&Gs. There could be a curiosity factor that comes into play for fans of other shows that are familiar with actors on GL, but saw them in other parts (like OLTL fans). GL also tends to have a large lapsed group, who left years before the end like the Roger/Holly fans. I wouldn't be surprised if any of them heard of this release and want to see the full April 1, 1980 episode.

They have all the tapes, it just wasn't in our hands the day we had to close on the DVD. As was the case with ATWT, some of the special or important episodes over the years were put in special boxes so when you're going through a sequence of tapes, inevitably the number I was looking for missing a lot of the time. Tapes are in two different places for GL, or they were at the time we were doing this.

Roger and Holly are both on the Alexandra episode where she humiliates Roger in front of everyone. But yes, I was hoping to get that time frame in for them. Someday!

That's true about Roger and Holly being in the 1991 Alexandra episode. What was the B-plot during the 1991 episode?

I hope I get my discs on Wednesday if not earlier as it would be great to celebrate the 75th anniversary by being able to pop a disk in the DVD player sit back and enjoy.

Agree on the 76-77 stuff. I'd even like to see some earlier things like original Holly with her brother Ken..

Aside from the few episodes Soap Classics has, is there a chance that more pre-1979 for ATWT and GL might become available or were they not saving episodes at this time. I know ABC started saving in about 1976 but knowing them, they probably already threw it away.

At the museums and on YouTube there are random ATWT episodes from 1957-1965. There's one on YouTube from 1978. I imagine these tapes are somewhere in this collection. The 20-episode format, or the 5-episode on for ATWT Christmas, seem to be the best way to roll something out quickly. Once we go back we get into 30-minute episodes, or 90-minute in the case of ANOTHER WORLD. So it's possible there could be more or less episodes to fill 20 hours. We have never discussed that though as what we've had so far are one hour episodes.

One of the Cliff House episodes from 1993 could have been included in for a more Roger/Holly centric episode. In particular the episode where they had sex for the first time since the infamous rape. Nancy Curlee told us she wrote that entire episode herself.

If there's another DVD release, that episode should hopefully be included.

It was a major turning point in their dynamic (something later writers didn't understand).

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      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.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      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.

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
