WOW!!!!!!!

 

 

yay! They're showing the Mal Young era of The Young and the Restless. Some drama actually happening.

I wondered what era these were from and I wonder what the "and more" refers too!!!

I'm curious about the more too. I wonder does that mean more Daytime soaps or more like "Sony Primetime Soaps?" 

Interesting. Wonder where it will lead? I feel like they're testing the waters. Classic B&B on YouTube and now this? Someone somewhere realizes there's a streaming audience they're missing out on.

Thank God I hope this leads somewhere! After they put the Dark Shadows on Pluto TV I was hoping something for Y&R would come next. Fingers crossed, I’ll have to check this out when I get home.

Edit I just checked it out on my app, and the episode airing was #11509 from 2018. So weird to see Brooks Darnell as Nate again with the forgotten Shauna character.

Agreed. Some actual drama is nice. I appreciated some of what he tried to do, other stuff not so much. I feel like of the four US soaps, GH would have been a better fit.

I think his plate was just too full at the end of the day.

Which further proves my point: the role of head writer and executive producer should not be held by the same person. As a producer, Young was excellent. He made some changes that really did great for the canvas. And his concept of storytelling, for me, was amazing.
But, at the end of the day, both positions suffered a bit.

So these are from 2018? 

Mal Young should have stayed where he was before wrecking several characters that it had taken over a year to rehabilitate. Not to mention the stupid one show one day only. Some scenes in a story take more than one day to tell.  At least he kept Chelsea off-screen, I'll give him that.

Yes. Around the time when Billy was CEO of Jabot. Ugh. The Abbott family [finally] getting some stories, and the pacing was awesome. You couldn't skip a day or you'd miss something. It was a jump in pacing the soap needed. Not every single day needs to be the same day as before.

Umm ABC needs to catch up... HULU smh...
