Oh I'd absolutely show Neil and Dru's Japanese wedding. That wasn't boring IMO. I hope the overall choices are strong. I can't wait to see what they'll air for that. 

 

It's a shame they can't do a week for Olivia because I'd love to see the episode where she confronts Keesha again.

I can get down with that. I meant more so when someone has a wedding for the 5th time in someone's living room these days.

That would be fantastic. I would like to see Neil and Dru's first date (the one where they were pretending to be a couple); do you have that one?

I do have them both.   but the first one is with sub tittles so we will at least get a better quality version of that one!

Neil week sounds amazing, although hope they do skip anything since 2014 though!

That’s more a B&B problem. Y&R can do a wedding that’s interesting, but I watched B&B’s wedding week and it’s the typical boring ass wedding you expect. Ridge and Brooke’s first wedding spent a segment just of characters taking photos. I couldn’t believe how drama free it was lol.

Haha...I noticed that too. Stephanie's expressions in those photos slightly saved it.

Well well well looks like CBS has ended paying Victoria Rowell after all. 

 

I kid. But I can't wait! I never got to see Neil/Dru/Malcolm/Olivia in their heyday. I agree with @Chris B, their Japanese wedding would be fantastic to see.

OT but looks like no new eps till september, And with that second wave maybe no new eps for the rest of the year. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-12/coronavirus-beaches-reopen-los-angeles-county-move-toward-new-normal

I honestly think that the best part of YR through all the years is the Jill and Katherine feuding! Their fights were THE BEST! Its a shame that JC is deceased she will forever be the icon of this show

 

I agree. These two are what got me into Y&R. Katherine/Jill were always a stable of Y&R for me.

I do think they would be better off with story arcs but I'm happy they are showing classics. It's somewhat keeping fans engaged. Especially when the newer episodes were so blah. 

 

I agree, the choices could be more cohesive

I totally agree. And like someone said, it would have been so much harder for Michelle Stafford to steamroll her in scenes like she did SW.

Precisely. Alex Donnelly was sublime in the role. I also thought Maura West was horrible as Diane. She's a good actress, but she was not even close to being Diane. That was more of a Y&R castings mistake 

 

 

This is the most of Y&R's past I've ever seen in a regular sustained experience. What a gift.

 

I hope the networks rethink their libraries over the course of what is set to be a very long year.

Maura was just wrooooong. Great actress but a dreadful miscast.

 

For some reason, Nikki’s line “...And doing things you weren’t supposed to do!” always makes me laugh. Seems like MTS flubbed her line but they let it slide because the scene was otherwise so amazing. Diane banging Nikki’s head into the table is just a level of camp that only a show as well-executed as Y&R could have pulled off. 

 

Michelle and Alex would been gold together. (I heard they only shared one scene during their overlap?) They would have tried to one-up each other, which would have been fun to watch. Certainly, Alex was great with Melody.

I'm so glad I didn't start Y&R with three grown women fighting over a man's sperm. Icky.

 

Maura's casting was so boneheaded. They wanted her to be a "name" character but didn't want to put in the work so just threw Diane at her. She was 15 years too young and doesn't have the icy cool of Alex Donnelly, Maura is a vamp. That's what she plays and what she's good at. Diane wasn't that. Dumb dumb casting.

Apparently, it was Barbara Bloom who forced Maura's casting on the show. MAB wasn't a fan and killed her off the first chance she got, which was extremely short-sighted for the character (but so was everything during that time). 

Maura West would’ve fit in *perfectly* as Grace. Her best chemistry was with Joshua Morrow as well, but that obviously makes too much sense so of course they’d make her Diane.

No capable actress should be stuck with Joshua Morrow.
