Peter Barton is the blandest bland who ever blanded.

 

Sheila repeating “God I love you so much” is chilling. Those are the private moments I miss from Y&R. 

I crushed on Scott so hard lol

I didn’t want to jinx it by asking, “Will we get a full episode?” But here’s Governor Murphy,

 

I know, I gave up about 2 weeks ago about their ever being a single day that Y&R is NOT interrupted by the two aholes Gov Murphy and Mayor Kinney

I guess Closed Captioning mixed up one black character for another black character that was involved with Nathan. Because all black people look alike. (Roll Eyes) 

 

What!? I wasn't watching at this time and assumed her true identify had yet to be revealed. Egregious.

I loved BE as Ashley too, but Eileen is such an idiosyncratic performer who put her stamp on the role. It’s hard not to see her as definitive.

That ending with the tight shot of Nikki’s two tears and the swelling music! Soap opera at its best!

That was perfection!

Sheila is so glamorous here too!

 

Scott was  indeed mediocre, Lauren deserved so much better. Barton did decent  years later on Sunset Beach but they did killed his character off just as he became interesting.

He was *gorgeous* but total deer in the highlights.

The sweeping Y&R score had a way of pulling you in to the show just as much as the storytelling. The cues from around this time are classic, nostalgic but not at all dated. It's a shame that Y&R and B&B have abandoned their timeless scores.

 

The production values from this time are also top notch. It was genius to add an echo effect in the jail scene. It added so much to the drama.

My favorite Ashley 😘

 

 

 

I appreciate the Dynasty-like specificity, i.e., "We're gonna show you exactly who you're gonna see this episode."

Holy Sh-------!!!!!!! He was on Sunset Beach!!!!!! Holy cow! I think at the time when I watched SB I didnt even realize it was the same guy that played Scott!!!!!!!

I had forgotten Cricket and Scott are siblings

Exactly. There's only a couple of reasons why one would prefer BE: She was their first Ashley, therefore understandably one becomes attached to her, or they can't resist BE's total sweetness and charisma which was passed on to the character. 

 

But it's not just about what Davidson brought to the role. Ashley as she should be was very idiosyncratic, stubborn, weird, difficult. Those who didn't appreciate that will certainly fall for the typical sweet heroine that BE was. Sadly, that's not really Ashley. And I say all this even though I LOVE Brenda. Let's prefer who we prefer but put some RESPECK on Davidson's name!

Pffttt I grew up watching the show thanks to my grandma. I am almost as old as the show 😜😝

 

LOL I get it. Still...

 LOL well to me she was my first Ashley can’t change that.

 

Totally understandable.

Sorry never could stand Eileen's Ashley and BE's WAS NOT the first Ashley I saw so stop lol

Whomever is editing these episodes is doing a terrible job. They seem so disjointed.

 

Today's episode reminded me why I never cared for Peter Bergman. There's an innate smugness that just wafts through the screen. Seeing Terry Lester (RIP) yesterday and PB today highlights the huge difference between their portrayals of Jack.

 

Whoa, EB seems to be anti-aging 😂 He was 49 in this episode and had been on Y&R for 10 years at this point yet he looked way better than he did in the 1980s. He was so dashing and debonair in his tux 🥰
