I actually consider myself to be one of the biggest Jan Spears fans alive! (http://www.freewebs.com/jan_spears). I believe that her character was just brilliant. Her hilarious quotes, her brilliant schemes, and the overall beauty of her portrayers-- Heather Lauren Olson (1999-2004) and Heather Lindell (2004-2005). I only hope that Jan will wake up from her coma soon!

I loved Heather Lindell's honest portrayal of the character. One minute, she's having a very genuine, sincere moment as Jan is pouring her heart out about why she is the way she is. The next minute, she's talking to her little doll about ways to dispose of Mimi. I remember the montage they had at the end of one of the episodes, and in that montage we saw Jan walking around the cage she had just built with Nicole's help, and she was just stroking the metal bars with love... soo psycho, I loved it! LoL Nicole was looking at her like, "Girl's taken up permanent residence in Nutsville!" OMG, and when Jan was blackmailing Mimi over the abortion, she decided to torture her by imitating rocking a baby in her arms, then dropping it on the floor and squashing it with her foot, LMAO!! That is so effing twisted! I loved it.

Reilly's Jan rocked. Even with the awful Heather Lauren Olsen in the role, I loved her under Reilly. Remember when she got into Shawn's bed, stripped naked and waited for him to come home and hop in? Unfortunately for her, Marlena came in and started stabbing her, thinking that it was Shawn in the bed, leaving her a bloody mess. Then she ran over to the Kiriakis mansion and snuck into Nicole's bedroom, still covered in blood, and informed her that she knew the combination to Victor's safe but couldn't remember the number. Nicole, pissed off, slaps her across the face and shouts, "Think, you drunken !@#$%^&*], THINK!!" Ohhh it was great, LoL

Bring her back. Heather Lindell rocked!

I floved Heather Lindell's Jan! She was so awesome, so twisted...and I LOVED her disguises, like the Carmen Jandiego outfit she wore when she wanted to go and shoot Belle (oh, if only you had suceeded, Jan!) and the cheerleader outfit. And, of course, there was her hot and heavy love affair with her Kewpie doll...sigh...it's amazing what she did with the role. I HATED HLO's take on the character, but HL just made her shine.

I really hope HL turns up on another soap (if not DOOL) soon.

I would love for Jan to come back (only played by Heather Lindell though), when Belle and Shawn get back together...it would be great for Jan to try to break them up again, maybe even using Mimi to do her dirty work..

I would love for Jan to wake up from the coma, faking being a good girl..but still be the scheming psycho !@#$%^&*] we love...

Heather Lindell was phenominal! I hated Jan when played by the whiny HLO, but when Heather Lindell began playing her I couldnt get enough of her. Some days she was the ONLY thing keeping me entertained with DAYS. I doubt it will happen, but I definitely want Jan to wake up and cause some more psycho drama, she is just so good at it. Although her character needs to be redeemed somehow for her to stay for a long period of time.

    • It will be amazing if we could record the skipped episodes. Did someone sent a list of the skipped youtube episodes to the guys that are filling in the gaps? 
    •   I don't think they ever wanted Sprina to be popular and I don't think they will bring Spencer back until Trina is gone. They've worked hard to marginalize their black cast, and that is only increasing. Trina/Gio could have been an interesting relationship, but they would rather just whittle that character away and then write her out.   
    • Daytime belonged to CBS. They would have been making a lot of $$$ with that lineup. For context, this is the lineup at that time. Only one soap on ABC (GH) and NBC (TD) which was still an anthology at that point. So it wasn't until the opposition added more soaps that they became competitive. NBC CBS ABC 10:00am Say When! CBS Morning News LOCAL 10:25am NBC News 10:30am Word for Word I Love Lucy (R) 11:00am Concentration The McCoys (R) The Price is Right 11:30am Missing Links Pete and Gladys (R) The Object Is... 12:00 Noon Your First Impression Love of Life Seven Keys 12:25pm CBS News 12:30pm Truth or Consequences Search for Tomorrow Father Knows Best (R) 12:45pm The Guiding Light 12:55pm NBC News 1:00pm LOCAL LOCAL The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show 1:25pm 1:30pm As the World Turns LOCAL 2:00pm Let's Make a Deal Password 2:25pm NBC News 2:30pm The Doctors Art Linkletter's House Party Day in Court 2:55pm ABC News 3:00pm Loretta Young Theatre (R) To Tell the Truth General Hospital 3:25pm CBS News 3:30pm You Don't Say!

    • Per recent Twitch live: Wraps filming his new film on Friday. Begins a new film on May 19. Will resume regular Twitch streams soon. Has a lot of projects coming out later this year. His current project has kept him in Tennessee longer than he was meant to be.
    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]
