Braeden won for his scenes with Adam/Victor Jr. 

 

VR probably should have won for this ep too. Looking back it’s just criminal that neither VR and TLW ever won for their powerful work in the 90’s by the Emmys.

Judi Evans has discussed that she did not have a good experience on set after winning the Emmy.  The age requirement has varied over the years, Don Scardino was 36/37 when he was nominated for Younger Actor in 1986.

Pretty much. I believe in the cases of Blade & Kurt the show should have cast someone sexy with charisma. An actor along the lines of something like a Peter Reckell, Charles Grant, Greg Beecroft etc. Neither Tylo or McCloskey were either of those things and they just came off as bland.

Tylo and especially Leigh are sexy as hell. Did you see him on Dallas or GH? The problem is the characters were written badly and poor Leigh was stuck with Shari as Ashley.

Leigh was very popular on Dallas.

Mon July 29, 2020 is 9/21/1994.

Still trying to figure out what happens in that episode.


Paul proposed to Christine at the end of the 9/20/94 epi --

when Paul simply put an engagement ring on her finger and then said will you marry me. But she hadn't expected it, and she had not yet said yes or no when the epi ended. 

*Speculation* ... 9/21/94 is a continuation of the 9/20/94 proposal scene and now she says yes.

I don't know what happens 9/22/94.
On 9/23/94, Christine drops by Nina's to show her the engagement ring.


On "rec.arts.tv.soaps" in 1994, someone was posting highlights of the "Pure Soap" show ("Pure Soap" appeared on the "E" network daily and it discussed the soaps).
I compared the Y&R scenes described on Pure Soap, with actual recaps and playlists of Y&R
"Pure Soap" would tell what happened on Y&R the day before.
Here is the relevant post:

PS: Thursday (Sept. 22) -- Pure Soap highlights
Posted 9/23/94
PURE SOAP highlights for Thursday -- 22-SEP-1994
UPDATES:
Y&R.  Nina has never felt too comfortable around her husband Ryan's ex-wife.  But now, courtesy of Victoria's centerfold, she knows more about her rival than she ever wanted to.
[Insert clip of Nina and someone? (her mother (?)) talking about the centerfold.  Nina says Victoria's the last person on earth she would've expected to appear in such a magazine.]

--
^ That 9/22/94 episode of Pure Soap described what happened on Y&R 9/21/94.

 

So therefore these two things *probably* happen on 9/21/94:
Christine accepts Paul's marriage proposal.  Victoria had recently appeared as a nude centerfold in a magazine, and now Nina comments to someone that Nina would not have expected Victoria to do that.

I have watched only a few clips recently of Kurt and of the twins Blade/Rick - I hadn't seen those characters before, or if I did, I had forgotten them. I agree that they are uninteresting.

 

I've watched a lot of old clips in the past two months that happened to contain Cole.  Good lord I find Cole boring! I literally doze off watching him.  The actor is fine looking, but the scenes I've watched have very little passion.  What on earth did firecracker Victoria (Heather Tom's version) ever see in Cole?

For the newer viwers, IDK if it's that they haven't been exposed to older soaps. In the 2000s I used to think soaps then were the best thing ever until I saw older episodes and realized the comparative decline. 

For the veteran viewers I can't imagine being in a rush to see Summer/Kyle/Lola? Victor & Nikki's 40th year of relationship turmoil? Bad writing? Paint dry boring storylines? To each his own

 

Great to see 1997, a rarity!

 

My thoughts exactly. Perhaps CBS should release yearly storyline summaries such as this: http://tvmegasite.net/day/yr/history.shtml

Odd theme week, considering what happened in 2002 pretty much wrecked the couple badly for a long time. 

I wonder if we can also get a Christmas in July theme week lol? Wouldn’t mind seeing the 87 and 88 Xmas eps again since they have been currently unavailable on YT for years now ever since Sony purged them like 9 years ago.

 

 

I do think both were competent actors but just were wrong for the parts, even if the writing did get shoddy. Tylo had his heyday on GL a decade beforehand; I was never much impressed by dullsome Mitch on Dallas either but that wasn’t all McCloskey’s fault either.  His best soap work was probably Santa Barbara although the story absolutely repulsive, something I think McCloskey has stated as well he was disturbed by. 


Btw @ChickenNuggetz92 Hadn’t seen that yet but of course all those commenters look like they are probably Karens.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
