Three different white women are sprung for Keith Hamilton Cobb in this 2003 episode! And yet none of them fùcked him AFAIK except maybe Phyllis? Which member of the audience called Homeland Security? I cannot believe they were fobbing Victoria off on Baldwin at this point. She's butcher than he is.

 

David Lago was so cute. Whatever happened to him? And of course Thad was a dream. I remember when he turned up as a gay for pay escort on nip/tuck buck naked not long after this; I almost died. They need to clean JT up a bit more after what they did to him.

The only one that resonates me with is Bashioum, and she's not coming back. If they had a strong known soap actress in the role I suppose you could reconceive the character, but all the post-Bashioum actresses in the role seem weak or bizarre.

I didn’t enjoy the Mac recasts either, but I saw a lot of growth with KK as an actress with her return, and it made me think of what she could do with a real story. Of course, the bigger issue is whether or not a modern-day Y&R is even capable of that.

I’ve never understood why they struggled to recast Mac. Bashioum was my favorite, and I could only dream about her returning. I would actually watch the show again if she did. I assume they would go back KK if they brought the character back. I didn’t mind her in Bac 2.0, but she’s more of a vanity pick based on how the show is branded nowadays. Maybe she would work in the right dynamics.

I think Bashioum was such a singular presence. It’s hard to really capture what she brought to the role. And the character got so watered-down with all the recasts. But I think she’s been off the canvas long enough (aside from the KK short-term return) to reboot the character a bit if they wanted to. We’d probably not enjoy the end result.

I doubt Josh could write for someone like Mac as portrayed by Ashley B the way the show is currently constructed. She’s too normal for the current audience. 

 

Not sure who uploaded 3/23/01 in the vault, but it doesn’t have any sound. Not sure if this was intentional or not.

Yes that was in 2010 which was another random out of know where scene and I a had always hoped that maybe phyllis would found out it was Christine but it was another missed opportunity.

 

Nick/Christine were actually hot together i wonder if this was going to be a storyline!

Even though mal had messed up, he did get the Brooks girls along with mac/Raul/britney to appear so i definitely loved that he tried to bring some history back to the show and also he brang back Julia for that one episode.

I looked through the full cast list from my YR 25th Anniversary book published in 1998.  Turns out it is NOT a full cast list, because I was hoping to find out who played Charlie, Victor's butler, but he's not listed anywhere.

 

The cast list is fairly thorough but has many chronological mistakes. One example is listing Lynn Wood (Allison) as appearing from 1981-83 when it was 1982-84.

 

What caught my eye the most is that it lists Oscar winner Forest Whitaker as being the first Kong (aka Nathan Hastings) in 1984 before Nathan Purdee. I think this would be late '84... Nov/Dec... Wouldn't that be something if we get a glimpse of Forest as the uploaded '84 clips reach that time!

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
