YR/B&B on "Pluto TV Soaps" channel

Well he co-created and produced Holby City which is the Grey's equivalent for the BBC. So he probably would've done okay there. 

I didn't care for the "Everyday is a new day" But like you had he knew when to get rid of Chelsea, Kevin, and Chloe. Though I hated how they crafted Nate early on to be "Deepak Chopra" who came off as he knew Lily since elementary school instead of being first cousins and Neil and Dru's nephew/godson. 

I know it would never happen. But I wouldn't mind Loving and Ryan's Hope to stream on Hulu or the throwback page on ABC.com

I loved Mal for dumping Chelsea, Kevin and Chloe. Chloe has always been an afterthought, which is a shame.

 

He definitely got a LOT wrong. He was smart in building up the younger crowd, who Griffith then had 'no story for'. Sigh.

 

I also could have done without the JT is an abuser but it's really not his fault after burying him alive. Yikes. 

 

Lily/Hillary was so something they pull off on the UK soaps. It's something soaps should do more often, frankly (the writing for it reeked and the optics of firing Morgan were awful so it was never going to work). They don't have 'the guts' to pull off killing someone (and we never believe it anyway), or doing a darker storyline.

 

I appreciated on some level the attempt at a more UK style soap mixed with US but it really couldn't work with Y&R. I'd love more of a shift on our US soaps but like I said, GH probably would have worked better, as long as he had a good head writer. But he also gives me 'Male JFP vibes' so I've always been mixed on Mal.

This is awesome. I've never heard of this site and I'm super impressed with it so far. I like that you can watch in browser without the app and that you can watch live or on-demand.  And it's free and you don't need to make an account! Pretty much all I could ask for. If anyone out there is reading this, then know that your site has gained a new user because you put these soaps on there.  I'm really really hoping they add a lot more seasons, especially from the early years, the earlier the better!

 

I'm atually shocked they got Y&RB&B is out on a lot of platforms but licensing Y&R from Sony is a huge get.

 

The link in the first post goes to the live broadcast, so there are the on demand links I found:

It is nice to see GT’s Phyllis again but what a weird time to pick to start with Y&R reruns with starting in September 2018, especially since Ashley would soon depart, the pointless Dark Horse story was beginning, and the Rosales invasion was about to happen. Oh well the bad thing is looking back three years ago at least there was story and drama as tawdry and repulsive as it was.

Pluto TV has a Facebook page and they posted the news. I requested 80s classic ATWT and other requested classic GL to be added to their line-up.

Frankly, the best way to get around music rights issues may be to stream, rather than sell episode compilations. I think this may be the reason why ATWT episodes can usually be up on YouTube for years, when most uploader account holders express that they don't intend to make any profit from the videos. I think the problems happen when people try to sell work with a copyright on it, especially when they had no part in creating the source material.

JMO, but if there were a link to identify the song, singer/songwriter and purchase the song in the description, something tells me there wouldn't be much objection.

    • 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.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
