Members FrenchFan Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 Oh I loved Cassandra when I was a kid. Didn't mind Faren either but then I was very young ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 Nina Arvesen was a STAR. Faren ate half the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 I was never so glad to see a character get hit by a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 Oh really ? Damn, i don't remember her being so dull. Childhood memories as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 Cassandra was definitely the most exotic beauty the show has had (maybe Mari Jo being close too) Something the show has lacked for years, and sadly will never bring a character like her on the show again...

Members FrenchFan Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 Exactly. Loved Cassandra to bits. Also loved Mari Jo. Both were fascinating women with their flaws, complex and totally intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 I must say overall, that Y&R's entire female cast in the old days were just more appealing and mature looking (in a good way) then the ones we have now...it's really sad.

Members Soapsuds Posted December 31, 2016 Members Share Posted December 31, 2016 I had forgotten about Eric and his history. He sure was a hunk. At first I thought it was Nicholas Walker in the role. Cassandra ruled! Faren was awful and poor Andy was stuck with her. Thanks!! Appreciate it!! I couldn't stand Marc and his pairing with Ashley....ewww...

Members Ponds Posted January 1, 2017 Members Share Posted January 1, 2017 I finally watched it today on the CBS site (couldn't believe all the commercials for their own network) and got to see what all of you did on Friday. I didn't start watching Y&R for a few more years. The first episode I can actually remember watching was a costume ball where David Kimball (?) was killed in a trash compactor. It was fun to see the first Jill and a very young Ashley. The writers need to use some of this background for those of us who weren't around in the beginning.

Members SoapDope Posted January 1, 2017 Members Share Posted January 1, 2017 Speaking of Stuart Brooks, I remember reading on the defunct media domain boards years ago that Robert Colbert and Bill Bell had a falling out. Robert complained about his lack of storyline. I think Stuart was supposed to be part of the wedding, possibly being the one walking Nikki down the aisle. I think there was also storyline where Stuart was seeing Gina and Liz was jealous that got dropped in early 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 1, 2017 Members Share Posted January 1, 2017 It's generally a grubby looking cast - many of the older women are the ones holding the glamour together, as much as they can. The men tend to look dirty and many of the women look cheap and burnt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted January 1, 2017 Members Share Posted January 1, 2017 I know this is the Y&R thread, but I always was amused by the irony that the name of the woman who was rival to Nina Arvesen's Angela Raymond on Santa Barbara for Warren Lockridge's love was also named Cassandra.

Members DeeeDee Posted January 1, 2017 Members Share Posted January 1, 2017 I HATED Mari Jo. Diana Barton was solid (though better suited to a P&G soap) but that whole story was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
