Y&R to air classic episodes

[MinnaH]

I always found it strange that Sheila was never in the opening. Then again, I don’t think Michael was in his first run either. I am guessing Bill Bell knew they would inevitably be written off the show due to their crimes and thus didn’t bother.

A character like Sheila should never be around too long. Still surprised Michael and Kevin have lasted this long despite their prior psychopathic behavior. Wish Sheila would show up again and knock off a few characters.

Oddly enough Lisa Mansfield was in the opening credits as was both David and then Mari Jo later on. I think Sheila deserved a spot too lol.

 

The 1999-03 opening credits had some glaring omissions as well, even when they first rolled it out.

Man, I was so in love with Raul and his style, that voice, those eyes. I’d love to see DL in something else these days.

[Chatty Cakes]

I don’t remember this Daniel.  
Oh Phyllis, each hole in the back of her dress represents a jealous feud. Right now it’s Christine. Later Sharon and now Abby.

LOL at Cam Gigandet‘s twink Daniel.

Even when Jack was being a vindictive dick, PB seemed on the verge of tears.

Victoria Rowell is a gem.

LLB had to be on her game to weather Stafford’s showboating. She really did improve a lot.

[Chatty Cakes]

I miss Victoria Rowell sooo much!
I find MS to be like a cartoon character. I can’t imagine having to act with that.

I think he lasted at most a week? He was very quickly recast. I've always thought it was because he looked too old to be MS's child.

I missed today's episode. After Friday no more classics

[Antoyne]

The classics have really given me such a newfound appreciate of Victoria Rowell. It's such a shame the show let such a strong force and amazing character go. And to see the Winters family these days compared to the old days is like night and day.

[Soap-princess]

I would actually want to watch the Winters if VR returned. No interest in Devon or Lily. 

[Faulkner]

Haha! Of course you would.

 

And all-time great IMO. And her ad libs added so much fun. The stale scenes we get now could use her unpredictability and improv skills.

[Soap-princess]

He could definitely act circles around most of his male counterparts on the show right now. Too bad they couldn’t develop him a good story and kept him around in 2004. 

[DaytimeFan]

The classics have really made me appreciate, on a superficial level, how much the look of the show has changed.

 

The size and depth of the old sets was really impressive. And boy has that changed in the last decade.

 

Otherwise, agreed on VR - she was a force of nature.

 

And, of course, the value Jess Walton brought (and could still bring) to the canvas is massive.
