Y&R 50th Anniversary - your ideas...


Recommended Posts

  • Members

With Y&R's landmark anniversary just a few months away, heaven only knows what Josh Griffith will come up with.

Maybe we SON posters can give him some ideas. I'm sure what we come up with will be better than what we see onscreen.

My first thought is a one week clip compilation segment paying tribute each day for a week to the 5 decades. eg Mon 1st 10 years, Tues next 10 years etc

Story wise , maybe news comes in of Brock's death - a tribute to Beau Kayzer

Lorie, Leslie, Jill, Julia, Mac, Murphy,Gina return for a memorial service a chance to show old clips- although this might be a bit limiting as it  would exclude a lot of characters.

Maybe Jabot 50th anniversary?

Your ideas?

I wouldn't mind a Jabot anniversary that brings together the Abbotts, Jill, etc., for a gala that ends up with Jeremy aiming to shoot Diane, but instead Kyle or Jack gets shot in the crossfire, causing Ashley, Nikki, and Phyllis to feel guilty about bringing this man to town in the first place. And Diane goes off on each one of them, promising that if anything happens to Jack or Kyle, they will answer to her.

I know it would never happen, but I wouldn't mind a primetime episode leading up to next year's Daytime Emmy; perhaps CBS/Sony gives them some bucks to make the show look better.

Perhaps a look-back documentary with past and present stars including Janice Lynde, Jamie Lyn Bauer, John McCook, Eric Braeden, Peter Bergman, Jess Walton, Victoria Rowell (yeah, I know), Shemar Moore, Heather Tom, Susan Walters, Michelle Stafford, Bryton James, etc., counting down 50 moments from the show's 50 years.

I think it would be amazing if they devoted an entire primetime episode to a 50 year retrospective of the show!

To piggyback off of @Paul Raven, here’s another 10 memorable moments:

 

Nikki killing her dad

The farmhouse saga with Sheila, Lauren, and Molly

Victor trapping Michael in the dungeon

Dru and Sharon falling off the cliff

Victor shot by Mari Jo

Lauren buried alive

Traci dumping the sundae on Lauren

Katherine and Jill catfight in the attic

Sheila and the baby switching scene

Phyllis runs over Paul and Christine

I will mention some moments from early 2000s, because thats when I started watching Y&R and some of my favorite moments are from those times:

- Matt pulls out the breathing tube and places it in Nick's hand

- Billy and Mac are named Prom King & Queen (Jill's face was amazing)

- Cassie's death scene

- Jill learns she is Kay's daughter

- Tricia shoots Ryan

All above are excellent choices!  I will add some below:

  • Victor's back from the dead- from Kansas
  • Nikki's miscarriage from Jack's baby.  The scene where the mother brings the child to Jack and Jack just breaks down.  It was great for PB.  I still think this could somehow be a future storyline. (Just saying)
  • Nick and Sharon Wedding
  • Danny and Cricket's Wedding
  • Jill running around to break up Mac and Billy's wedding
  • Cricket's Rape
  • Lauren puts a nude photo of Paul in a dirty magazine
  • Victor's heart attack and Jack kicking his foot
  • Malcom sleeps with Dru
  • Kevin sets himself on fire
  • Kevin in the boxing ring

    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
