I'm actually more excited about the Friday classics than the current episodes

I so much love the classic ! This is the Y&R I was in love with when I was a kid ! Top notch acting and the music ! I am humming all the tunes with such pleasure. Was happy to see Douglas and Miguel who are long forgotten but I loved all these minor characters who were an important part of the show identity.

Sorry, I was just picturing all of them. lol  Back to what you were saying, yes, they were overshadowed, and it seemed for awhile, all the other soaps were trying to find their "token Shemar."  Even Y&R made a big deal over that one guy a few years back with the beautiful eyes (I can't for the life of me remember his name, but he was on around the same time as Lamon Archey) who was supposed to be the "next Shemar" but that went nowhere. 

 

EDIT: Redaric Williams!  I knew the name would come to me.

CBS should just air classics during the pandemic. What a treat that would be

 I don't know what kind of numbers Let's Make A Deal and The Talk get these days, but wouldn't it be delicious for them to be bumped temporarily for ATWT, GL, etc repeats?  It'd be a bit of poetic justice, albeit short-term.

    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
