Members kalbir Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 @BoldRestless Here's a link posted by @YRfan23 that recaps August 30, 1994 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/rec.arts.tv.soaps/before$3A1994$2F09$2F05/rec.arts.tv.soaps/NZ3Etzvpx_Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 Thanks. That's a headscratcher though I'm happy to see anything from 1994. Would have rather had the Crimson Lighs fight with Matt Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lucaslesann23 Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 wonder if Newman week is the final classic week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 I always found Jess Walton a bit difficult to take as Jill - there’s just nothing lighthearted about her, even when she’s playing a scene that’s supposed to be funny. She had no chemistry with Jerry Douglas (John). And can someone explain to me how Jill and John wound up remarrying after a super-bitter divorce that involved blackmail?

Members lucaslesann23 Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 Please register in order to view this content maybe maybe not. But im just thinking fridays will be the last new episode as that was Newman focused and featured Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 I for one loved the 1973 episodes. A few people on other message boards and facebook were pissing and moaning about wanting the current show back on instead of sitting through reruns and characters they don't know or care about. I wish there was a streaming channel to watch Y&R from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 I loved it too. I wish we could get a few more 70s episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 I don't get why they don't add early episodes to CBS ALL Access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 With modern technology, there is no reason at ALL they can't stream some of these episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 I really want those people to STFU and get out of the way. What exactly would they have preferred to air instead, given the situation? These people also would not have been pleased with just picking a time period and running episodes in order (and I don't think we would have either - I doubt they would have went far back for that). Y&R has never been "my" soap, but it's the first soap I ever remember watching, and it's ingrained into so much of my greatest family memories, and it's been amazing to watch so many classic episodes. I feel like I know more about the show than I ever did before. I'll always be thankful for these reruns getting us through quarantine. The sad thing is that GH has never been "my" soap either, and I have literally no personal connection to it whatsoever, and I would have loved an opportunity to get closer to it, but...well...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think Sony could monetize those old episodes, but my guess is that CBS is a blocker. They may not want Sony to stream older episodes because it would pull some people away from watching newer episodes. Very possible they have exclusive rights built into their deal with Sony. The Bob Barker-era “Price is Right” isn’t rerun for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 22, 2020 Members Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Same. It is a wonderful, rich rolling history lesson and I am in no hurry for them to resume production of the current show, which lacks all of the very, very specific and unique identity and character I see in the Y&R of the past, whether it's in the 70s, 80s or 90s (or even some of the 2000s). It always felt very different from my ABC soaps whenever I glimpsed it as a kid, and now I know why: It was a singular vision and style. I knew that before, but seeing it daily is a much deeper understanding. It's fascinating to watch and experience. Can anyone point to anything in 2020 Y&R that doesn't feel like a weak, generic knockoff of an ABC soap in its lesser years?
