I so appreciate them going further back than the last year or two (I'm looking at you GH & B&B, but then folks would know how much better both used to actually be, not that Y&R is really any better than the rest but they're doing it right with the reruns)

I hope this is also a U.S airing though and not just For Canada. The episode is Neil and Dru's Honeymoon btw! I actually just posted that episode myself but it was only the first half. At least we will see the entire episode if that's indeed what's airing!

This episode was part of the 20th anniversary week, March 22-26, 1993. The big events I remember from March 1993 were Neil and Dru's wedding at the Chancellor estate and Jill finding out she was pregnant with Billy.

Yes! I recently uploaded March 23 (Partial Though) and March 24 and March 26, 1993. Only Missing March 22, and March 25 from that week. 

If this is what they will show on Friday on CBS , that's nice of them to do this, and it's a great way to pay tribute to KSJ.

I'm stunned that week two they're focusing on another Y&R supercouple, Dru and Neil! Y&R isn't really a supercouole type of show, but along with Victor and Nikki these couples really took the country by storm! In a perfect world it makes sense but I'm still stunned week two they'd focus on those characters. I'm happy but continue to be impressed as Y&R makes these gestures. It means a lot to the fans.

I agree about it not being a supercouple kind of show... what I'd love to see is dramatic stuff like Ashley's abortion and Victor finding out about it, Victor taking away Jabot in the 80s, the great catfights, the villains... but I guess TPTB think romance sells.  And if they're focusing on romance, Dru & Neil is such a great choice, the episode should be really fun.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.
