Y&R to air classic episodes


Recommended Posts

I imagine TPTB chose to air it AGAIN (sigh), primarily because it's already been butchered (I mean...trimmed) to fit in into an hour broadcast. There are many more commercials crammed into a 60-minute program now than there were during the 1980s.  We'll be deprived of seeing the Brooks sisters' reunion once more.

  CBS must have been too lazy to choose another episode to hack up.

Agreed.

And speaking of GH I noticed that they're usually willing to show flashbacks despite recasts. A prime example was the 3 Carly's coming back in 2014, or David Lewis being shown in flashbacks during Jane Elliot's tribute show (despite John Ingle dying in the role of Edward Q). It would be awesome if Y&R would be willing to do the same with Ashley and Jack.

 

I hope whatever else they air besides the wedding is something we cant find online like Phillip II's death or Kay haunting Suzanne. If they decide to air classics as weekly arc's eventually, it would be cool to see (again): the week of Sheila baby switch/Nina shooting David; the week of Lauren/Sheila firehouse (show coinciding episodes on B&B); the week of Veronica shooting Nikki; Marge/Kay conclusion

They must be setting it up for editors to work from home (I hope). This is only the first classic episode. The show won't be back for a long, long time. We'll see what else they'll pull out of their hat.

Well I’d think they’d maybe show a couple and then introduce them as ones for the “die hard fans” or the “long-running fans”. They probably won’t, but it would be nice. Even if they showed stuff from 1983. After 1984/85, the show really wasn’t worth watching for me. And I’m only 23, so I only can see the old episodes by what people find and post, buying DVDs, or what used to be on YouTube YEARS ago that I was too stupid at the same not to save LOL. They’ve gotta add some variety, you know? I can understand how some people might be confused, but it would be sooo fun to see the good ol’ days of the Kay/Jill rivalry when it began and the first few years of it.

I phrased it wrong

. I was trying to explain that I love watching episodes from the first 11/12 years of the show by buying DVDs from Soap Trading or purchasing sites and that I'll pretty much only watch episodes from those years. When I see stuff from 1986-the present, it doesn't satisfy my Y&R needs like those first years did. I did phrase that weird though LOL.

I'll give CBS a lot of slack here. In fact, I'd rather have them air any Y&R(R)/B&B(R) rather than completely dropping them for TPIR(R)/LMAD (R). I'm choosing not to stream either of the airings today, but I'm sure they'll be ones that will be worth watching.

 

If you figure production resumes July 1 - it'll be mid- or late-July before new ones start to air. B&B will clearly crank them out fast so they get out first. I wonder if B&B ended up banking extra episodes because of the 12+ Impeachment pre-emptions or if they simply slowed down production? At least ABC has given exact info on GH, CBS has been silent about inventory.

Are you referring to the guy with Ashley? If so, that wasn't Nicholas Walker. Walker was already on Capitol at that time. The guy portraying Eric Garrison was Brian Matthews. Matthews and Walker did look very much alike. Speaking of Walker, he will be showing up on The Doctors reruns soon.

    • 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.
