Great point!

I was not aware of Alec Baldwin's podcast with PB, I'll check it out.

Here's the link https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/heresthething/episodes/peter-bergman-king-soaps 

There is a very funny part where they talk about saying the name of their shows in French so that nobody knows they're referring to being on a soap, and PB starts referring to it as Les Feux de l'amour

Illinois governor does his usually at 3pm-ish which used to be Jeopardy so the local affiliate switched Dr. Phil to 3pm and Jeopardy to 4pm since people were upset Jeopardy got interrupted.  They can also catch Dr. Phil at 11am on a sister station (this is an NBC station).

I still think it's funny that Esther the maid came as a maid. As well as the idea that both Esther and Mamie abandoned their respective kitchens to attend the ball. Ryan is so impressed the ball is so fancy, but every housekeeper, chef, and waiter in town is on the guest list.

OMG EVERYDAY the Philadelphia mayor with the NJ Governor cuts into Y&R halfway through and takes up the entire second half of the show EVERYDAY! Its so freaking annoying and unnecessary! GRRRRRRR!!!!

 

Anyway, thanks soapsuds for posting the ep as I missed it today and my dvr did not record it. I dont understand why most of the couples did NOT have costumes that go together? That makes no sense! Paul's costume was the most annoying one.

 

I completely FORGOT ABOUT LYNN! OMG she was in love with Paul for YEARS! They never did get together not even a fling, did they? Its weird I actually dont remember this ball AT ALL for some reason even though I watched Y&R back then regularly.

 

Nate didn't die until 96? I thought he had died way before that. Did Olivia get together with Malcolm before he died, then? Cause I felt like Malcolm and Olivia were together way before 96

 

So happy to see Jess Walton now as Jill. She was back then and still is FABULOUS! The former Jill from that episode from the 80's where she gets shot was god awful

 

I live outside Philadelphia. Its out of control with them coming on EVERYDAY! Once or twice a week TOPS is more than enough. The gov of NJ looks like he's a nice guy but honestly I hate him for doing this everyday. They should do it at least during the time the news is on, take up the whole news hour, not cut into other shows!

It's nice to remember when Victor was still likeable in his own grumpy pants way and not played out. Loved Victor's "she's a breath of fresh air" about Drucilla. Victoria Rowell. Kristoff St. John. Tonya Lee Williams. Tricia Cast. Jeanne Cooper. Jill the town pariah and Jess looking amazing.

 Traci and Brad. Brenda Epperson. Veronica Redd.  Still annoyed they killed John Abbott.

 

Heather Tom  Just makes me even more mad that we have wet drip Heinle in the role.

    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
