I loved this period of Y&R, and this is actually one of my favourite episodes. It has everything in it. Nikki and Sharon were campy fun. I’d even take back this time of Y&R compared to today.

 

Oh and Anita Hodges is on this one! That character such wasted potential and the actress was great.

 

Soon Heather Tom will be gone

And Gina’s too. I loved this period of Y&R, felt prime time 

 

Greg Rikaart was awesome here but he should’ve never stayed on Y&R that long. Dying him to Michael was a brilliant move though. And in the start and with JVK Gloria it wasn’t all that bad.

I’ve said (seemingly ad infinitum) that for me, 2003 was the last really good year the show had before John Smith (who was made Executive Producer after the exit of David Shaughnessy, who in turn had followed Ed Scott) really started to put his stamp on the show, as EP and I think Head Writer) and things started to miss with more frequency rather than land with more consistency.

Why DID David Shaughnessy exit as EP, anyway?  He seemed to get Y&R back on-track after some missteps during the tail end of the Kay Alden/Ed Scott era.

Some of it was exhaustion the rest of it was Jack Smith making power plays. 

 

 

100% agreed, and I remember that November & December were such explosive months that the show started off 2004 on such a high point. 
 

Funny today’s episode also contained Cody Dixon, a character I almost even forgot existed. Funny that Brody Hutzler has screen time eating roles at GL and Days yet here aside from a minor crush on Sharon(or was it Tricia?) he did nothing but be the Crimson Lights barista for years. Didn’t he have a relative named Trevor who worked for the Newmans as well?

aw, I thought they were actually going to show Kevin burning down Gina's. This episode was great, but wanted to see the fire in HD.

 

This was such an oddly transitional time on the show. They had every woman interested in Damon to try and find one that would stick. I had completely blocked out that Lauren was with Raul.... WTF. 

 

To be honest, Neil flat out giving it to Lily for her stupidity was the best part. This story was so timely. They don't do stories like this anymore.

Yeah, I just finished the episode and was totally expecting the fire. A little disappointed. 

 

Those production values for the gala were AMAZING and it was just simply using the Newman ranch. Was most of the cast still islanded at this time? I loved all the small beats and you could tell who did and did not get along. I wish we got to see more of Diane/Phyllis/Dru going at it. They seemed to write Raul so angrily (but I see why he was upset) and I agree the Neil/Lily scenes just came off real, they barely do any natural family drama anymore on the remaining shows. GH tried a little but no matter wjat any of them do it comes off flat.

I loved this episode, from the enormous and beautiful sets to the wardrobe to the mix of many chars and stories and even to all the extras. It all looked special, and expensive.

 

Just top notch production and acting from start to finish. One of my favorite classic episodes thus far.

I enjoyed both 2002 and 2003 episodes. The show was declining but still very much watchable.

 

It was a mistake to write Isabella in a corner. She could have stayed much longer and kept Paul's character interesting. With a solid recast of course because Eva Longoria wouldn't have stayed long.

 

I liked the interactions in the 2003 episode. I wish they had worked more on Lauren as a cougar with Raul. He was so hoooot. I was crazy about him as a teenager ahah. Just wished they had the party at the Colonnade like in good old days. I love the ranch but the set was tiny for a big party like this.

Friday June 5 - #11842

December 27, 2019

 

Abby, Kyle, and Lola host Christmas Eve dinner for the Abbotts at Society, and Jack invites the Baldwins (including Fen who arrived as as surprise) to join them. Afterwards, Jack, Ashley, and Traci, and Abby have a special evening with Dina at the Abbott home.


CBS all access has this Dec 27 episode listed where it should be in regular date order for the current season 47, labeled as "Classic Episode: 12/27/2019, S47 E79". The fact that they've labeled it Classic must mean that's the one.

 

I have a photo labeled "JPI Episode11838" that goes to the Dec 23 episode; so that verifies that 11842 is Dec 27.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
