Esther and Kay's off-screen staff did a shitty job maintaining her mansion! 

Esther was too busy trying to hear through the walls than to take herself to go clean up their or insist to Kay the rest of the staff need to clean.

You'd think the Chancellor Estate would have a full staff but we only ever saw Esther. No other cooks, cleaners, groundskeepers, etc. That attic was grime time but it only made the fight more epic hahaha.

 

Can't wait for tomorrow's 1993 episode, I think that week was one of Y&R's highest ratings ever. Also later in the week "I will crush you".

Yeah, I think they were going for a slightly gothic feel and implying the large estate has areas seldom, if ever, visited, which would explain "losing" the documents up there for decades. It worked, and I love they went through the trouble of having rats and all lol

These random episodes are getting old already. Yawn!! 1998 to 2003 to 2012? WTF! Just show Y&R from the beginning.

God this 1998 episode looks so gorgeous in 2020 it really hold up well.

 

Why did Katherine’s attic have tarantulas and rats LOL. What the hell was going up there.

It looks like it could be aired today doesn’t it?? And yes what the hell was that tarantula doing there??! Lol I’d be way to freaked out to live there knowing there could be a whole nest of those somewhere!! Haha

These NJ daily press conferences are so loosely structured, which makes it even more frustrating when they break into regular programming. Gov. Murphy is just now getting into the daily numbers, more than a half-hour in.

Haha I’d be the same way! But in a weird way this works well. It’s a perfect visual of Katherine walking the halls of the mausoleum.

I know we saw Katherine’s driver a couple of times.  Jill’s real mother was a cook (fight me, she will always be a Foster). And in one of the classic episodes, Jill yelled out a man’s name to come get her bags for her when Kay offered her a room.  I just don’t have enough history to know if we ever see those people, and if they were the same background cast at all.

Hopefully they go back further in time to the early '80s again or earlier.  The show had a lot of great stuff back then.  The '90s and '00s gets old fast.

 

I loved the attention to detail in the attic, over the top as it was.  Now that they totally screwed-up the downstairs set (present-day), the house has completely lost it's feel of Kay's history there.

Here's the original broadcast and  the follow up episodes of today"s classic if anyone is interested.

I think it's only blocked because TFI the French channel reaired that date at some point a few years ago along with some other ones. 7/29/92 is also blocked because of that...and sadly I've noticed more that any of the episodes I already have that CBS is reairing are now being blocked too  I don't know why, but it's so stupid. 

Its so funny how when I watch these old eps I remember watching them before and it felt like it was just yesterday when it aired the first time but it was over 20 years ago! I actually like that short hair cut that Nikki had in this ep. Even though I love her long hair, this hair cut also works for her

Alex Donnelly sort of looks like she could be Michael Mealor’s mother, with their endearing mouths. Shame that Y&R destroyed Diane so shortsightedly. Her absence is deeply felt.

 

I don't miss her at all. Never liked her

To each their own. I thought she was fabulous, and I loved her unbridled fury.
