Big ouch to GL's 4.0 already. 

Y&R folks, it seems they lost the most ground immediately after the OJ Ford Bronco chase drama. Was there a major shift in story quality?  They went from getting 9's in early '94 and staying in the 8's, and then June '94 hits and they're suddenly staying put in the mid 7's.

In 1995 P&G did a full-tilt boogie exec musical chairs. GL to AW, AW to ATWT, ATWT to GL. It was literally bad for all shows! I know they did not intend it to be bad but it worked out that way. And, it also was the beginning of a large amount of EP/HW upheaval for a number of years for those 3 P&G NY soaps.

No, John Valente was at AW. I have no idea where Laibson was because he was the wild card. Here, below, is the way it happened: 

ATWT: Laurie Caso gone. John Valente in.

GL: JFP gone. Michael Laibson in.

AW: John Valente gone. JFP in. 

With the result being that Laurie Caso was forced to retire. As it truly was musical chairs & one person got left out in the cold. 

I'm not sure if I said it wrong before. I'm not sure if I'm answering your question.

June 1994 the frat party started.

Fall 1994 was the start of Nick and Sharon eating the show for the next year and half.

Blade/Rick began Summer 1994. January 1995 Rick kidnapped Blade and switched identities.

Yes. And I have always thought it was a crying shame. However, he went on to have a second career after P&G absurdly threw him away!!! 

Laurie Caso absolutely positively was forced to retire FROM P&G!!!! You really need to not say some of the outright absurd INACCURATE things that you say!!! It is true that he went on to have a second career, but you don't know what the hell you are talking about by saying he was not forced to retire. HE WAS. THINK.

Someone needs to look up the definition of retire. And learn the facts that Laurence Caso works to this day professionally. Saying that he was forced to retire 30 years ago is incorrect. Also, Laurence Caso worked for about 7 years at P&G. He would not be eligible for retirement from P&G. Fact.  Now, back to the 90’s ratings.

Laurence Caso's Linkedin would seem to validate @TEdgeofNight's point that although he was fired from ATWT, he was never “forced” to retire from either the entertainment business or P&G in specific.

His company Shoot the Catfish productions was established by the investment of P&G

Although I would never presume to know him well enough to call him Laurie, it was rather simple to search beyond Wikipedia

    • Oh good and now Naomi is here!  Phew.
    • LOL...Eva turned into a Karen and told them to get this crazy bush!
    • I can see the need for a Ted recast *ducks*.  He doesn't seem that concerned. This is fun though!  Ok at least they show Vanessa in the hospital and not just randomly missing (like Kat was at the last party). Vanessa's roots are really showing today!
    • Party Time !

    • What I wouldn't give to have any of Jordan's run as Tim surface.  I wish there was more of early '81 online. It would be fascinating to see Alan/Rita play out. I guess I'm too set in my ways...I'd be horrified at a Van/Alan marriage. Not that it wouldn't have been great to see more of Chris Bernau with Maeve.   
    • This leads to one of my favorite scenes ever...I won't spoil it but it is a very clever meta moment unmasking Brent to the cops...(it may have happened.) Also you already saw one of my favorite lines..."You, you think I'm a LESBIAN???" even crazy Brent is shocked that Lucy is that dumb, and only crazy Brent would be pissed at being mistaken for gay instead of being a psychotic rapist /killer.   Hate that scene, made both adult women look like morons. Amanda is way too subtle for that, I could see her egging emotional Blake into doing that and making a fool of herself in front of everyone. The whole story would have been more fun if Amanda was manipulating Blake to look like the Blake of old.   One of McLaiby's biggest mistakes is what they do to Bridget, who grew up since having Peter and loosing Maureen and running a business.I remember Liabson saying in the press..."The Bridget we know is back" but that was over, and being more adult does not mean you have to be boring..she was even less feisty here, she just looks pathetic.    This story is so gross... and too bad too, cause Griffin is sexy as hell. I can see Viv getting steamed on him but....   There is a spectrum of sexuality that some people can go in and out of, depending on special people they may find attractive...and we can leave it at that. I never trust the long distance girlfriend boyfriend but I hope he is happy and settled. I would have HATED the Abby storyline. He raped and killed too many people to be "reformed," and to have anyone in SF accept him or trust him after that would make them look like morons.  
    • Eva convinced Nicole to have the party -- due to Leslie/Dana's insistence that there be a party when they do their planned dramatic reveal. They haven't specified which anniversary it is for Ted and Nicole. How many years have they been married?  It's not 10, 20, 25, 30 or some specific number that you'd celebrate. Kat pointed out that there was no plan for a party until Eva instigated it, which indicates to me that it's some odd number of years.
    • Why is Billy such a wet rag in every scene he's in? Isn't he the same man responsible for the disastrous Chancellor Remodel back in 2016?
    • Okay, after reflecting on Mucas overnight, I suggest we cut to the chase & call them  SNOT You have to admit that it would be different!
