I believe that. Bill Bell was extremely good at seeing potential in people, couples, storylines and wrote to that.

 The Young and the Restless 50th anniversary special drew 2.9 million viewers and a 0.3 demo

Exactly. MTS has said that Bill Bell saw the connection between her and EB before she and EB themselves even realized it was there. I guess the audience saw the connection too because the My Fair Lady storyline took off.

[Taoboi]

Yes. Exactly. He was good at seeing that long before his employees saw things. Or when the audience picked up on it as well. 

Yay!!!

Has anyone bought the SOD Y&R 50th anniversary tribute issue? Is it worth the $13.99 cover price?

Currently watching this on Paramount Plus. It’s definitely an Entertainment Tonight special - it feels like they produced a bunch of segments for regular ET and just edited them together into an hour show. Much less of a celebration of 50 years of Y&R and much more of a celebration of Y&R on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.

I wouldn't say it is worth $13.99, but it's pretty good actually. It's about the same price as the GH People magazine issue and they have virtually the same number of pages. Ultimately, it's about branding and whether you think $13.99 is excessive.

Considering a regular issue of Digest is about $6.99 or $7.99, I'd say it's worth paying $13.99 since it's a one-time occurence.

@Errol Thank you for the reply.

Eileen has always said Ashley had the first abortion. I ran passed a few YouTube clips and interviews over the years. So I was not shocked to hear it!
