Y&R to air classic episodes


Recommended Posts

Thank you @janea4old for finding that...and thank you to the recapper, wherever you are now, for NOT having cutesy, clever nicknames all over your recap, as so many did.

 

I haven't been following the '90s  episodes much as the ones that @YRfan23 shares are enough for me, but as this one is "new" and the needlepointing scene sounds hilarious (it's the type of thing I probably would have laughed at back in the day) and it's a good Dru episode, I may DVR it. It's a shame it has Nina's miscarriage story as that always upset me.

 

It sounds like this is still when Sharon was a bad girl too. (this wasn't Sharon Case yet then?)

 

I sure miss Nina and Dru...

Yes Amy needlepointing pillows with Nikki is an interesting contrast to
... Victoria showing her (Victoria's) nude pictures in the magazine centerfold ... to her brother Nick(!) and then commenting well our mom Nikki was a stripper so what's the big deal.

 

But that's the Sept 15, 1994 recap, so I don't know how you would DVR that. (I'd love to see that too)
What's airing next week is Sept 21, 1994, and we have not (yet) found a recap for that.

 

==============

 

Per the recap, on Sept 15, 1994, Sharon tells Doris that she's having a party at their apartment sometime soon. Amy thanks Sharon for inviting Amy and Nick to the party.

 

I recently watched the Sept 26, 1994 episode. Sharon and Doris discuss the birthday party, which has already happened. Sharon mentions that party happened at the Newman ranch. Doris asked how it went. Doris wants to know if anybody figured out that it really wasn't Sharon's 18th birthday party, but instead it was actually Sharon's 19th birthday party.  Sharon says nobody has figured it out and everyone thinks she just turned 18.  The conversation implies there is a missing year that Sharon and Doris are keeping secret -- but it did not hint why in that episode.

(Of course we know now that this was the year of Sharon's pregnancy with Cassie and Mariah).

(There is more in that 9/26/1994 episode but I'll stop there).

 

My point is that Sharon's birthday party happens after the Thurs Sept 15, 1994 episode, and before the Monday Sept 26, 1994 episode.

From recaps and playlists, we know it doesn't happen Sept 19, 20, or 23.


So that leaves .. . Sharon's birthday happening on Fri Sept 16, Wed Sept 21, or Thurs Sept 22.

(I suppose the party could have taken place offscreen but that seems unlikely).

The soapcentral bio for Sharon says her birthday is Sept 17th, which was a Saturday in 1994.

Thanks for all the spoilers and recaps posted!

Please register in order to view this content

 I'm definitely inspired more to go back on the fourms and try to see if I missed any "hidden" topics with even more recaps.

Here's the 4 September 1994 episodes I already have so far that cover a lot that was discussed, and maybe some that wasn't....(on the 9/26 episode it's confirmed the party already happen, so I'm wondering if the actual party aired between September 16, September 19, Sept 21-22)

Someone at rec.arts.tv.soaps asked about 
Blade, Jack, Mari Jo, Ashley, the painting, and the signature,
and there was a thread of replies:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.arts.tv.soaps/6W1FMzHigm4/nZ_37RHji0UJ
(That is a thread.)

 

The initial post, dated 9/16/94 was a bunch of questions, and here are the replies:

 

--------------

 

reply dated 9/17/94

>What is the connection between Blade and Jack's fiancé (I think her name is Mary Jo)?
Reply:     Mary Jo used to be involved with Blade.  But at some point in the relationship Mary Jo slept with Blade's Brother (no name yet).  When Blade found out he proceeded to break up with her, and he got in a fight with his brother on the docks.  Supposedly, after Blade punched his brother to the dock floor, his brother fell off the dock into the ocean and drowned. Blade claims he did not hear his brother's cry for help, but Mary Jo claims that Blade heard his brother, but simply ignored his cries for help.

 

>What is Mary Jo hiding?
Reply:     She has not told Jack her really name yet or the fact that she and Blade were once involved with each other.  Basically, her whole past is being hidden from Jack.

>Why would Jack and Ashley be so upset by this information?
Reply:     Who knows. I guess they (the writers) figure that Ashley and Jack would be mad that they were not told about the previous relationship between Blade and Mary Jo.

 

----------------------------------

 

Reply dated 9/19/94

> Jack's fiancé. Who is she?
Reply:     Mary Jo was Blade's old girlfriend.  She sort of "hunted" him down.

 

>What is Blade's mysterious past? (any new revelations over the summer)
Reply:     Blade had a twin brother (read: his "evil twin").  He got into an argument with him over Mary Jo and Blade killed him..  (Mary Jo slept with his brother while engaged to Blade)

 

>What is the connection between Blade and Jack's fiancé (I think her name is Mary Jo)?
Reply:     Mary Jo saw Blade kill his brother (Blade didn't know that she was watching).

 

>What is Mary Jo hiding?
Reply:     Her real relationship to Blade

 

>Why would Jack and Ashley be so upset by this information?
Reply:     Mary Jo and Blade were involved in the past.


----------------------------------

Reply dated 9/22/94
(This reply gives corrections/clarifications to the one before it)
 

Earlier comment:
Blade had a twin brother (read: his "evil twin"). He got into an argument over Mary Jo with him and Blade killed him. (Mary Jo slept with his brother while engaged to Blade)

 

Another poster in reply (clarification-correction) to that comment: 
Blade said it was an accident. He pushed his brother into the water and did not hear his brother yell that he couldn't swim and thus … drowned.

 

Earlier comment:
Mary Jo saw Blade kill his brother (Blade didn't know that she was watching).

 

Another poster in reply (clarification) to that comment:
Blade did not know his brother couldn't swim. 

Why didn't Marilyn help him out of the water? Marilyn=MariJo

 

Original question: I also remember an episode a while ago where Blade and Ashley received a wedding gift -- it was some sort of painting. Was this painting a gift from Mary Jo? What significance did it have?

 

Reply to the question: She gave the painting to them as Marilyn. Only Blade knows who it's from. Ashley received the gift in the mail with no name on it, only (MM) in the corner.  

 

----------------------------------

 

Reply dated 9/22/94

 

Mari-jo/Marilyn was Blade's fiancé, she slept with Blade's twin brother. Blade and his brother had a fight on the wharf.  Blade hit his bro, who then fell down.  Blade turned around and left.  The brother then FELL into the ocean and drowned.  Marijo sent Blade and Ash the painting for a wedding gift to tell Blade that she knew where he was.  Blade told Ashley he didn't know who Marilyn is.  Then Marilyn showed up in town (presumably to terrorize Blade), accidentally bumped into Jack and they became an item. Marilyn has been taunting Blade by telling him that she "heard" them fighting from her apartment on the other side of the wharf. And when she saw the brother fall into the water she ran to help..."I never saw him again"...SOB!

 

----------------------------------

 

Reply dated 9/25/94

 

Question: I also remember an episode a while ago where Blade and Ashley received a wedding gift -- it was some sort of painting. Was this painting a gift from Mary Jo? What significance did it have?

Reply: The painting depicts the dock upon which Blade and his brother fought over Marilyn/Mary-Jo. Marilyn sent it to Blade as a reminder of his deed.

 

-----  end thread -----

 

Edit to add: there was one more reply on that rec.arts.tv.soaps thread, dated 9/17/94
That reply said:  "I think they said Blade's brother's name was Alex.  (Or was that his real name?)".

[NOTE: Soapcentral didn't exist back then, but now the soapcentral bio says:
Blade's full name was Alexander Bladeson.  His twin was Rick Bladeson.]

 

----------------------------------

That catches us up to the week of the episode we are wondering about.
(But we still do not know if any of this is in the Sept 21, 1994 episode.)

There was a daily TV show called "Pure Soap" which had soap news, episode updates, and sometimes actor interviews.

 

A recapper on "rec.arts.tv.soaps" tried to post recaps when possible. The recapper said the show had lots of info and there was too much to recap, so therefore she(the recapper) was was able to recap some highlights but not everything. 

 

The show was hosted by Shelley Taylor Morgan.

 

Here is the Y&R portion from Sept. 7, 1994 through Oct. 5, 1994


Note, sometimes Y&R was not recapped (either because the recapper was not able to get everything or perhaps Pure Soap did not mention Y&R that day).

 

I don't know if the clips and updates on Pure Soap are dated the same as when they aired on Y&R, or if Pure Soap is ahead or behind by a day or two

 

(Posting to give some context to the Sept 21, 1994 episode that will be rebroadcast soon.)

UPDATES (episode updates for several soaps but Y&R not mentioned)

STM ==> Shelley Taylor Morgan, bubbly host of PURE SOAP.

IN-STUDIO GUEST:  Y&R's Sharon Case (Sharon Collins)

- STM says Y&R just couldn't settle on an actress to play young Nick Newman's wannabe girlfriend this summer but they finally seem to have gotten it right by casting a soap veteran:  Sharon Case.

- She recently played Debbie on ATWT.  Before that she played Dawn on GH.  STM asks how she handles moving back and forth from one coast to the other.  Sharon says she always thought she'd live in NY so she grabbed the chance when she was offered the part on ATWT.  She loved living there.

- STM asks for some hints of what's coming up and [predictably] Sharon says she really can't say much.  She is involved in the trio with Nick and Amy.  There will be some very exciting storyline coming up between the three of them.

- GH was a great show to work on.  She says it was her first job as an actress so maybe that's why she has such fun memories of it.  

- Working with the ATWT's cast was great...they rehearsed a lot more for that show than they do some others so she really got to know her castmates very well and they all became friends.

- A caller wants to know if she has a hard time playing someone so "unwholesome" since her looks are so innocent.  Sharon jokes that it is hard and she's trying to find some "evil" hairdos and makeup for her character.

STM ==> Shelley Taylor Morgan, bubbly host of PURE SOAP.

UPDATES (The recapper mentions episode updates for GH, AMC, GL, AW, but not Y&R)

IN-STUDIO GUEST:  Y&R's Elizabeth Sung (Luan Volien)

- The Volien family's story features the heartbreakingly painful tale of an immigrant mother and the son she was forced to leave behind.
[Insert clip of Luan telling Keemo she prefers not to cling to bitter memories.  Instead, she prefers to remember the special times...the happy times.  She thinks of those times often when she looks at a picture of her G.I.  Keemo's upset that she wants to remember anything about the man.  He can't believe she still keeps a picture of a man that used her and then abandoned her.  She insists the man didn't know about his son but Keemo says he knew about her.  She says he may have been killed and Keemo says he hopes so.  He asks what he ever gave her but misery and hardship.  She says "he" gave her the most precious gift of all:  Keemo.]

 

STM = Shelley Taylor Morgan, bubbly host of PURE SOAP.
ES = Elizabeth Sung (Luan Volien)
    
- STM comments on how Elizabeth's character seems so much older (gray streaks in her hair, little makeup, etc.) that much of the audience probably wouldn't even recognize her.  ES says she thinks it's just part of what happens when any new character is introduced on a show...they have to search for the right look.

- ES says her first choice in the performing arts is dance.  She was able to tour all around the country after graduating from Julliard because of dancing and she loved it.  STM asks if she still dances and she says she's too old...her back hurts too much.  She does milder things like yoga for everyday exercise, now.

- She also worked as an assistant production designer on a movie that was filmed last year in Shanghai.  The job dealt with making sure the look of the film, the costumes, and making sure sets that need to be built get built.  

- ES was born in Hong Kong and didn't move away until she finished high school.  

- One of the jobs she had was working with her sister last year to coordinate a fireworks display.  She worked as a translator (Chinese to French) for the Frenchman in charge of the display.  She got to see all sorts of fireworks factories and had a great time.

- STM says it's amazing...ES does everything!  ES laughs that she doesn't do windows!

- Tricia started acting professionally when she was 11; and was 18 or 19 when she started on Y&R.  She's been with the show for 8 or 9 years.   She loves the closeness she feels on the set.

- Tricia's recently split up with her husband Jack.  She says she still loves him and has nothing but respect for him but they just see things differently.

- [Insert clip of Nina getting a phone call from Ryan.  She's crying but manages to keep him from realizing it.  He says he tried to call earlier but didn't get an answer.  He asks where she was and she says she was just out with Cricket.  He tells her he misses them and hopes to be home by tomorrow night.  He asks about Phillip and asks her to give him a hug.  He says he's got to go and she tells him she loves him.  He says he loves her too and promises to be home soon.]

- Scott blows some bubbles on the air for his daughter Emily.  Too cute.

- A caller says she likes Nina and Ryan together but wants to know what happened to Nina's relationship with John Silva.  Tricia says she doesn't really know but she never questions anything Bill Bell does.

Now he's got a chance to see her again and tell her how much she meant to him...how she brought hope and love to a very frightened young man from America.]

Would y'all rather see "theme week" episodes, or simply "the best of Y&R", with no rhyme or reason?  ...because I clearly could have done without many of the "theme week" episodes, in fact, have had no interest in watching several of them again.

It's funny you bring this up because I keep thinking back to when SoapNet did that GH50 marathon with the top 50 episodes of GH. It was really coherent, showed everything that you would expect, and mostly in order. I always wished we could get something like that for Y&R but figured it was impossible, because SoapNet doesn't exist anymore and Sony is stingy with their material. So these classic episodes are kind of a substitute, which is a dream come true in a way, cause we're getting to see a number of episodes that haven't been seen since the original airing. Some are real gems, but overall this doesn't feel like a representation of the best Y&R has ever had to offer. It's just whatever fits into the theme weeks - which is often really great, and sometimes not so much. To be fair to them, they didn't know how long this would last, so they couldn't have come up with a definitive list from the start. Doing it week by week does make sense. I still wish they would just do weeklong or two week long arcs showing all the episodes in order from one storyline. I see no reason they can't do that but I don't expect it to happen now. They also seem to have given up the character weeks so I doubt we'll get Paul, Lauren, Christine, Jill, etc, just more theme weeks. 

 

I guess all we can hope is that the theme weeks are good choices and not stuff that's already online. The Emmy week choices are strong. 

 

Some themes I'm hoping for are:

-Best of the decades: one day of each week devoted to the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s (better yet would be one week each 70s-00s).

-Best location shoots:   Victor/Nikki/Paul and Rick Daros in St. Croix, the "Bermuda triangle" with Cassandra/Paul, Mari Jo and Jack in St. Thomas, maybe Paris or New Orleans (not my bag but some of the newer viewers probably would want to see it).

-Heroes week: Basically a second shot at Villains week (which was a much better idea on paper than what they actually selected) but showing the outcome of all the plots, so Paul saving Christine from Michael, since we didn't get Michael on Villains week, JT saving Colleen, Paul saving Lauren from being buried alive, etc.

The 9/19/1994 recap is here:
https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/57902-yr-to-air-classic-episodes/page/145/?tab=comments#comment-1675424

and that recap doesn't have Sharon's birthday party.

 

That leaves Sharon's 1994 birthday party happening on Fri Sept 16, Wed Sept 21, or Thurs Sept 22. Or it could have happened off-screen.

 

Soapcentral bio for Sharon says her birthday is Sept 17, but I don't know where they got that from. (Sept 17 was a Saturday in 1994)

#5450, original US airdate Wed Sept 21, 1994.

(This is what we've been trying to figure out).

 

new from Global:
US Tuesday June 30, 2020 (CDN Mon June 29, 2020)

#5509, original US airdate Wed Dec 14, 1994.

 

In early Dec. 1994, "rec.arts.tv.soaps" newsgroup did a split.

CBS daytime soaps were to be in "rec.arts.tv.soaps.cbs"

But Y&R posts appeared in both of the groups for a while.

I checked both newsgroups.

Posts indicated that Matt Clark raped Sharon in the car, on the episodes of Friday Dec 16, 1994 and Monday Dec 19, 1994. 

 

One poster posted on 12/15/94 "Sharon raped by Matt -- could they have been more obvious? Could they have been more obvious about this happening? I've been fairly sure that this was going to happen for about a week, I hardly needed to watch."
I don't know if the rape aired 12/15 also, or if that poster saw it early in Canada.

 

I found nothing at all about Wed. Dec 14, 1994.
