"On Tuesday, May 5, Nikki dreams of reuniting with Victor after Ashley (Eileen Davidson) is out of the picture, and Phillip (Thom Bierdz) makes plans for a future with Cricket (Lauralee Bell). The episode originally aired August 17, 1987."

 

Anyone know what the actual airdate was? Phillip says in the episode that the current month is September.

I think someone listed it as September 19th a few pages back but this would need checking.

Cricket ate the show from 1987 to 1989. That era also saw a change in EPs (H. Wesley Kenney to Ed Scott) and three major cast departures (Brenda Dickson, Eileen Davidson, Terry Lester).

Haven’t watched the 87 episode yet but wanted to comment on 1981. 
 

JLB was gorgeous and a perfect leading lady. I was captivated by her. That Vanessa woman was so interesting, I want to see more.

 

These classics are great. It’s so good to see EB so invested in his material. Nowadays he plays Victor like he’s about to fall asleep.

Great to see Terry Lester as Jack. Cricket was such a boring and annoying character. Two gay men in Danny and Phillip fighting for Cricket yawn.They should've been a couple. Phillip buying an engagement ring was laughable.

Almost every random episode I've watched from 1987-1999 features Cricket Blair. I rolled my eyes as she tried to keep up with Jeanne Cooper in today's (5/5/2020) classic episode. I can only imagine how viewers and actors felt at the time!

Terry Lester was perfect as Jack. Arrogant, lovable. What a great actor!

I agree with Phillip and Danny being a couple. That would've been scandalously fantastic! Maybe Phillip started drinking so much because everyone wanted him with a girl named Cricket (*eye roll*) when he had all of those illicit feelings for pool boys and Danny.

Cricket, later called Christine to make the character feel more mature I suppose, truly ate up the show for a good number of years then. All roads led back to Cricket...

 

I do miss Tricia Cast and wish she had been able to stay with the show all these years. Nina was a fascinating character.

That date given is wrong and it’s really September 18, 1987!

I didn’t realize this was from August 1 1987, the height of their triangle made TV Guide:

I am so frustrated with CBS All Access.

 

They even had a clip advertising the Katherine week, and never posted the episodes.  They removed the ad finally from the Y&R page.

 

It was awesome seeing the classic episodes they did post though.  Just wish the others had shown up.

Nina was a wonderful, fully rounded, complex, and interesting Bell creation who changed and evolved over time, but never lost her edge (like Heather Tom's Victoria). She is missed!!

I just had to......lol

So they can upload this clip to youtube but not the episode to CBS All Access? Mess.

@Soapsuds Hahaha. That's 1980s cheesy pop goodness right there.

 

If anyone here was a fan of 2000s hip hop, you'll remember these songs. I think they sum up this week's theme
