This month will have a special episode for CLB's 30th anniversary.

If we are counting anniversaries from first episodes, April will be Kate Linder's 40th anniversary, and June will be Jess Walton's 35th anniversary, Eileen Davidson's 40th anniversary, and Beth Maitland's 40th anniversary.

According to SOD

Jack's absence from GC over Xmas and into the New Year is due to Peter Bergman needed emergency surgery due to a detached retina.

Mishael Morgan had the same issue and Peter says they talked on the phone during his recovery.

He returned to the set in time for the Y&R Xmas party.

So it looks like Jack will be offscreen for a few weeks.

It's almost an understatement to say that Y&R is "stuck," but you're right.  This show needs a shot in the arm in the worst way.  It needs to take some huge risks.  Maybe not the kind of risks that, say, JER took with DAYS back in the day.  (I don't think anyone needs to see Nikki Newman possessed by the devil, lol).  But TPTB need to recognize that they can't coast forever on nostalgia.

I'd mix up the show with some new couples:  Nick/Sally, Nikki/Ashland, Jack/Lauren (maybe not so new). It would shake things up. 

Phyllis furious Nick is leaning toward Sally. His whole family still against him, especially Victor and Adam. 

Phyllis and Michael leaning on each other after his marriage to Lauren is on the rocks. Phyllis upset because she was falling for Jack again. Just imagine Gloria's thoughts. 

Ashland and Nikki would cause even more conflict in the Newman family. Victoria feeling like deja vu because Nikki's had romances with Victoria's men before. Bring back Ashley to console Victor and reignite her rivalry with Nikki. (Yes, I know...this isn't new...but Ashley needs a foe. Why not Nikki?)

Traci could make appearances (I'd prefer on contract) and be upset about Lauren "going after" Jack when she's married.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
