Interesting this aired on my birthday that year LOL but more interesting this will be the first time I see Aldrich since she first aired as Victoria (she wasn’t good but material of her brief time has been extremely scarce) was pretty much gone by months end.

so the Feb 19, 1996 Nick and Sharon wedding was rebroadcast in 2001? I didn't see it either time.  I'm curious about the *other* storylines in that episode. I've seen references to it on various messageboards, but the conversations were assuming you'd already seen it, so I don't know the context.  I gather that there is a Christine/Danny scene and a Dina scene, but I don't know what they are about.


Is there a recap or video of the rest of the epi?

MAB era was such trash, my goodness. I remember all the soaps being so at this point but I couldn't even stomach her stuff. In hindsight I get that she was going for the 80s slight psycho thriller feel but everything about her execution was putrid. She filled the show with bad stunt casting and wrecked so many long term roles with bad stories. For me this era is the worst of the worst.

Sharon stuck to pervert Adam like a battered woman   

 

Badly SORASed legacy characters  

 

I do miss the production value of the sets though. JFP is the one who hacked that down.

Today was so awful. So they thought Adam killed Skye, but then Sharon finds her alive, but of course she was away from her group but then ends up pushing Skye into the volcano anyway so now Sharon is the murderer and still can't prove Adam is innocent? And Jana has now forgiven Daisy and wants to take her baby and then lets her go because Kevin is with Chloe? And Abby can't go two seconds without mentioning getting naked? This was such utter trash. I was watching then, but I had blocked out these horrible storylines.

You know as much as y'all are complaining...let us a take a moment and look at how CBS was calling a 5 year old episode a "classic" in 2001. Yeah we're not getting episodes from the 70s or early 80s but a bunch of these eps have been at least 20 years old.

Thank you. I didn’t get into Y&R until sometime when Phick were already married. I’m loving all the actual episodes that are 15 years and older. I’ve never seen any of the replays people are complaining about so this has been great for me.

But you should take into account that there was no YouTube in 2001. Also, Nick and Sharon’s wedding was immediately a classic not because of time but because it was treated with reverence and seen as epic.

    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
