For a woman who abandoned her family and children, we've certainly seen a lot of Dina Mergeron throughout a lot of these classic episodes

Yeah, we totally have. Episodes from Dina's original run 1983-1986, then her returns in 1991 and 1996, and her most recent run.

They should have shown her first episodes from 1983 when she crashed the Abbott party with her black veil ALA Alexis Carrington.

A clip of Dina's 1983 arrival was on YT years ago. Maybe an upcoming theme week for long lost relatives returning might have that episode.

For you longtime Y&R fans, was there always continuous contempt towards Dina as there was when she returned again a couple years back? In soapland, I would think a 3-year run (1983-86) would equal a lot of mending of fences and forgiveness.

When she returned in Nov '91 (ostensibly for Traci's wedding but really since she was broke) it was said that she had cut off contact with the family during the prior few years, so that created new family tension even if she had previously mended fences in the 80s.

Friday, July 31:
"Victor reunites with his estranged father, Albert Miller"
(I assume that's from a press release).


Those CBS press releases are sometimes written by people who don't understand what's going on.

He is not an "estranged father". 

The word "estranged" means "having lost former closeness and affection".

 

It should say Victor confronts his cruel biological father who was never a father to him.

[KC]Dear God in Heaven [/KC]...what in the world is Katherine wearing?

 

Brad is Neil's best man here but when I started watching his best friend was Ryan, when did they become friends?

Honestly they couldn't have picked Victor's debut episode from February 8, 1980 for Monday's episode?? He's the whole reason there IS a pack of Newman's! Ugh

And I agree with you all about them starting some kind of service where they upload all the classic episodes to a site, such as All Access or something like that. B&B's been doing it in the Netherlands! There's no reason why Y&R can't follow suit.

    • Creatively, he probably should have stayed with The Doctors, where he stood out as an antihero lead. Not sure what happened with GH. He didn't have the same impact. Was it bad writing, not clicking with co-stars? Didn't they gave him a boat load of money to join GH in 1976? Was Mark Dante just a toned-down version of Nick Bellini? Were they basically the same character?
    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
