Members Soapsuds Posted April 25, 2020 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 Its too bad Y&R can't offer the full unedited versions on DVD. Imagine the sales....we won't charge your card until we ship them....right now we are only taking orders....i can dream...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfave06 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I would die if they did a gothic/horror week. I am more of a OLTL fan but Y&R exceeds at that film noir atmosphere and I am dying to see the Suzanne Lynch/Nikki and Paul in the cult, the dungeon, more of Eve/Julia/Nikki with Victor's first "death", the Norman Bates story and the Veronica story. Super excited for the 1981 episode and really really hope it has good Vanessa/Lorie scenes. I know there are edits on YouTube...but nothing in good qaulity available right? In fact they could probably do a Victor's Many Deaths week. Didn't he "die" in 1983, 1993, 1999 and somewhere in the 2000s and 2010s?

Members Khan Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 Am I wrong, or was that Paul Tulley, a.k.a. OLTL's original Dr. Larry Wolek, playing Norman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 Indeed. Y&R would still pull off in 7’s into 1999 actually while all the other soaps slipped into the 4’s and 3’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 I agree! I watch these old episodes and I'm immediately invested in the storyline again, only for it to fade away once the rerun is over! They should roll up their editing sleeves and pack some weeks devoted exclusively to a storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 I actually searched up the storylines after watching the episodes and I was so intrigued reading the summaries that I wished they were able to show more of it. IMO, since they do plan on being off the air for some time - it would be logical that they played out storylines instead of one off epsiodes, but either way I've enjoyed watching.

Members lucaslesann23 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 Wait, Would Terry Lesters Jack possibly be in this episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 25, 2020 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 I hope so. He was my favorite Jack and was so glad he joined ATWT. And since she'll be on Monday's show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 Yes! He started playing Jack In July 1980 I have it on my 1990 playlist so it’s not really new. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted April 25, 2020 Members Share Posted April 25, 2020 Interestingly the first go around of John/Jill/Jack occurred in 1981 but I believe Halsey’s John was gone by this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted April 26, 2020 Members Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Too bad Nina Arvesen never had another truly significant role (I know she was in SB after this, but that role didn’t seem to amount to much). She was so perfect for Cassandra - perfect match between an actress and character. Very alluring. Edited April 26, 2020 by BetterForgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted April 26, 2020 Members Share Posted April 26, 2020 I think the Original John/Jill/Jack stuff started in the Summer 1980. I know there was that one other John actor we saw in this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 26, 2020 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2020 She was a stunning beauty. I was glued to my TV. Nina's storyline was one of my favorites of all time.. Mark Derwin at the time was a great find too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted April 26, 2020 Members Share Posted April 26, 2020 I always found it interesting that Kimberlin Brown originally auditioned for Cassandra. She would have never worked for that type of character or story, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted April 26, 2020 Members Share Posted April 26, 2020 As YRFan23 said it started more in summer 1980. Though from reading synopsis, it seems to have been a bit of a non starter. When Brett Halsey was fired in Mar 1981, Jon-Michael Reed suggested it was because he was such a dud in the role and best I can tell the story was given very little airtime until the resolution at the beginning of 1981. After John caught Jill and Jack in bed he left town and the remainder of 1981 was Jill and Jack, then towards the end of the year Jill and Andy. So depending on who is in this episode, we might get Terry Lester, we might actually see Deborah's Jill with Andy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
