Members alphanguy74 Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 I don't know if she has never read a book on Y&R, has amnesia, or what? Every time she speaks about black characters on the show, it's as if Stephanie Williams, Jon St. Elwood, Brock Peters, and Phil Morris never even existed.

Members Chris B Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 She mentioned Brock Peters and she said in her upcoming podcast she’s going to speak more about the history of soaps. Why would you expect her to spend a limited amount of time focusing on things that she would have little knowledge of? It only makes sense she’d focus primary on her character and what came after since that’s the purpose of the videos, to celebrate Winters Week. Also, let’s not act like those actors you mentioned had the type of story the black characters were given in the 90s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 Handsome as hell, and I didn’t think the goatee was so ridiculous hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 I liked the goatee on him. I remember thinking he was totally hot when he was on Y&R as Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 I’m very particular about goatees haha. Trust me, I would *not* have thrown him out of bed for it. And Tom/Michael’s “macho posturing” that Ashley pointed out seemed a lot more like them cruising each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 LOL. This could get out of hand quickly. So I’ll keep my thoughts on that to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 Wow Crimson Lights was busy back in 2006. New management or bad coffee must have destroyed that place ... recently, when Sharon was calling her doctor for results, she and Rey were the only ones in there at one point and when there were more it was cast not extras.

Members Faulkner Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 What an immersion in LML-era Y&R with Ted Shackleford, Tammy Lauren, Adrienne Frantz, lots of Judith Chapman, and Professor Korbel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 I’d say Kevin’s ownership for it probably ran it into the ground. I mean didn’t Jana always have machine troubles lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lucaslesann23 Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 4732 first show of the new week after villains. November 7 1991 but I can't find a recap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 Brad and Traci’s wedding. You also have Dina’s return which if I recall correctly was planned by Jack to keep Jill away from John. You also have drunk Nikki. I wonder if the theme is weddings? That is literally the only focus of the episode so that has to be the theme. If so, I’m happy they picked a Traci centered episode. It’s hard to believe watching now, but she was a vital character for years and her relationship with Brad was fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I notice they're airing David Kimble's death on Monday, when they just aired the masquerade as a classic Friday episode some weeks ago. If they were going to show them both, they could have just dedicated a week to that whole storyline and aired a couple of major episodes - tying them together with some bonus cast intros or pop ups of some sort. I actually researched that entire storyline after the masquerade episode and looked up summaries and YouTube clips. I watched the trash compactor scene after reading about it in the summary, just because I was a bit shocked when I read it. Didn't find too many episodes aside from a clip with the missing scenes from the edited masquerade episode and smaller clips from the era.

Members Aback Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 I agree but I think they were just winging it. And they still are. They should have realized by now that they should dedicate each week to a storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 I said the same thing about the ball episodes. A lot of people on social media were wondering what happened after Danny was shot. Now a month later we get the episode three days later? People will be confused. It's stupid. I'm guessing that the next week after villains is an Abbot week although it would be a shame if they start in 1991 instead of the 80s. I mean they already showed aTerry Lester episode so what is the big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trainman Posted May 22, 2020 Members Share Posted May 22, 2020 I can think of a whole slew of early episodes that are far more entertaining than what they've been giving us so far, with a few exceptions. Just give me access to the archives, CBS, and I'll start throwing them together... "'70s flashback", "Best of the '80s", "Climatic endings", "Paul's early days", "Nikki's early days", "Lost loves", etc. So I may have to edit for time, but it can be done.
