Y&R to air classic episodes


Recommended Posts

Well guys apparently the Canadian episode that aired today (they are a day ahead of the US) was an episode from 6 weeks ago.

 

So there seems to be some questions about whether or not a classic episode is actually airing tomorrow

Agreed. Some claim that viewers would not want to watch episodes featuring unfamiliar characters/actors, but if that were true, every single brand-new series on TV would be rejected by the audience because they don't "know" any of the people on screen yet. But...we GET to know them as we watch. I'm always fascinated to check out vintage material from my favorite shows, regardless if I know any of the characters/actors featured or not. I'll become familiar with them as I view the eps. And most importantly, the first five years of this show were brilliant; William J. Bell at the peak of his talent. His mesmerizing scripts alone would lure anyone in!

Nice. Predictable, but nice. Didn't they re-air this about 3 years ago? 

 

I would love to see something off the wall, like Lauren buried alive, Victor keeping someone in a cage, someone keeping Brad in a cage, the black guy who posed as white, the dude getting KILLER carved on his forehead and then tossed in the trash compactor, etc.  Give us a goofy one.

It's a good episode. I forced my non-soap fan friends to watch with me on NYE a few years ago, and they enjoyed it (for real - not to just talk sht about it). Maybe they pulled that one because they knew it was already "prepared" for airing? It's not a surprising pick. For many, many viewers, Victor and Nicki are Y&R.

Re: 70s episodes. I think if they go there, we'd definitely get the first episode just for the sake of it being the first episode. I would imagine they could find some good Katherine/Phillip/Jill stuff, too.

    • Isn't that funny how certain memories as young children stick with you through life... Haha I totally get what you mean. That's how I felt with GL in the beginning, but then I got used to it. Seeing so many of my favorite AMC characters on GL was wild - Walker, Irizarry, Dusay, Budig, Aleksander, Gil Rogers, etc.  Ironically, it helps that Irizarry and Dusay played both mother/son in both shows. I know Marcy Walker was wasted on GL as Tangie, but selfishly I'm so glad she was. When she left GL and returned immediately to AMC as Liza Colby, man was it such a great storyline. The Tad/Dixie/Liza triangle was so emotional, tense and memorable. The AMC fans got lucky with that one. WRCW, Tad/Liza working together, the affair, then Jason Sheffield and the shooting on-set... all amazing stuff.   LOL! 
    • I remember thinking that he was fantastic after Reva's 1990 "death," with his grief and attempted relationship with Harley. I also remember the cute Marah, not the toothy chick from Halloweentown.
    • Totally agree - we have much to learn about Vernon, and I'd love to see it.
    • I've enjoyed Vernon but I wouldn't be opposed to learning more about his life beyond his political work. What kind of family does he come from? Does he have any siblings? I feel like that could be an interesting thing to look at.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
