Members BetterForgotten Posted February 27, 2020 Members Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think Bill credited Lee's background as a talk show host for influencing topical issues he did on Y&R from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted February 27, 2020 Members Share Posted February 27, 2020 What a lovely piece of trivia. As others have stated, it really did set the show apart for a long time. The show opening up quite often on a table or desk with flowers on it then panning to the character walking into the room, answering the door or phone, opening mail, etc was such an identity staple for me with Y&R.

Members Broderick Posted February 28, 2020 Members Share Posted February 28, 2020 Bill Bell also praised her tremendously for relocating with him from Chicago to California in 1986 when they were creating B&B. He said that for him the move wasn't that big of a deal. But for Lee Phillip, it was a VERY big deal, because in Chicago she was sort of a celebrity --- the precursor of Oprah Winfrey in the talk show market -- and she gave up her local position of celebrity to move to LA, where no one knew her from Adam's housecat. He said it was only AFTER they'd moved that he truly realized how much she'd given up to accompany him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted February 28, 2020 Members Share Posted February 28, 2020 Very sorry to hear of her passing, I believe she was was the last of daytime's pioneers? Please register in order to view this content Another fun fact is Lee in the early '90s campaigned heavily for B&B to get full coverage especially in markets that were pre-empting B&B and visited their markets. It worked; by 1995, every CBS station was finally airing B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanessaReardon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Thank you! I am fun. Because I have the dish and that’s what people really want at parties. RIP Lee but we all know that Bill wasn’t an angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted February 28, 2020 Members Share Posted February 28, 2020 A thread about a woman's death is not a party. You are being very distasteful and Vanessa Chamberlain's "Matessa" days were the worst. RIP Mrs Bell. Thank you for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanessaReardon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Come on! Lee wants a party!!! No doubt she’ll be kicking Bill in his nether regions, that cheated. It wasn’t a perfect marriage and she looked the other way so many times. Party on Lee. You deserve it. Kick Bill in the balls!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members will81 Posted February 29, 2020 Members Share Posted February 29, 2020 I was going to post this same thing. Your hypocrisy is annoying. You gave some grief to that other poster who kept butting into threads and posting useless information no one cared about, now you are doing the same. If you have dish, share it with people who give a toss, it seems no one on this thread cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted March 2, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nope we do not care about you but what the issue is at least for me is that you highjacked a thread that is to celebrate Lee's life with your backstage gossip no one gives an F about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
