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

[AMCOLTLLover]

Shame no one brings up Isabella (Eva Longoria) anymore and that excellent attempted murder on Christine with the bathtube.

Like every scene Eva played the psycho Isabella is a highlight for me! She kept Y&R alive for me

Y&R isn't exactly known for discovering breakout talent and launching careers but there are a few "before they were stars" that might be mentioned during the 50th anniversary: Tom Selleck, David Hasselhoff, Shemar Moore, Eva Longoria.

Paul Walker (R.I.P.)

@Faulkner I forgot about Paul Walker.

Omg, yes!! I loved Eva Longoria on Y&R!! Good choice!

Ricky & Isabella return seeking revenge on Paul & Christine. Ricky somehow survived by being shot by Paul.

Cameron Kirsten should be out of jail by now. He returns seeking revenge on Sharon & Nick in a similar way Matt Clark/Carter Mills tried to do.

Before Mariah was made a lesbian I envisioned a story where Cameron Kirsten seduced and manipulated her as revenge against Sharon. The fact that he's still alive and they haven't used him to generate story for Sharon is just absurd.

Is crazy how Isabella and Tricia just took a turn for the crazy. 

Cameron, Grace and Amy can return for a story as a thowback to the Gen X clan from the 90s. Donna isn't serving a prupose on B&B so the actress would be good here. I'd love to Grace her get into a troubled marriage with Nick and raise hell for the Newman family. Maybe the marriage blows up with Nick cheating on her with Amy or something. Grace gets revenge by bringing Cameron back, Mariah kills him defending Sharon and there's a whole trial, Matt Clarke's lookalike cousin surfaces. Something.

Even though the actress no longer performs due to a medical condition, it would be nice to see Tricia return as a ghost something for just a scene.

Isn't Mariah bi? Though for daytime intents and purposes that means 'lesbian.' They will never pair Camryn with a man again.

[Paul Raven]

How about Leanna Love returning to do an expose on GC's various scandals.

Barbara Crampton would knock it out of the park.

When she had posted a TBT video of her and Quinn Redeker a month or so back, I commented that I would love to see her back for the 50th and she did like the comment. I would love for her to be featured in some type of way.

Monday March 27, 2023, Y&R 50th anniversary celebrated on a special episode of The Talk. If EB and Shemar are on that episode, we'd see Sheryl Underwood all squealing fangirl at a level that we've never seen before

I know Traci was planning a book on Dina-did that ever happen?

But I also recall she spoke of a Jabot/Abbott book-did that ever eventuate?

I'm getting the feeling Traci is a hack writer-using the family name to churn out cheapies.

There was also that film noir type novel that was'dramatized' a few years back with Cane.

Anyway the Jabot book would have been a good tie in with the 50th.

Some characters who could/should return

Murphy- to touch base with Jill/Esther and reminisce about Katherine

Joanna- to see Lauren and her grandchildren

Malcolm (Shemar)

Lorie

Any others you'd like to see?

 

[BoldRestless]

Traci's Abbott family book was used as the backdrop for Peter Bergman's 30th anniversary special. I found that a bit disrespectful to the other Abbotts, especially since he's not even the original actor.

 

There's a good chance of getting back some of the Glow by Jabot kids - Brittany, Raul, J.T., and Mac (probably Kelly Krueger though, meh).

 

I'd rather see individual visits where we can get a few days of scenes like Michael Damian's, than cameo appearances like Leslie and Lorie have made.

I think you probably summed it up. It probably will have Eric, MTS, Peter, Michelle, Christel, MCE, Joshua, Sharon and Christel will probably be on there. 

For the show's 45th? They had the Glow by Jabot Kids for the Walnut Grove reunion. But with you know who at the helm you may never know.
