Recommended Posts

Y&R has a classic feed up on Pluto but it begins with 2018 & is Mal Young's HW tenure.
 
B&B has its own YouTube channel beginning with full quality episodes from the very beginning, literally first episode. Well organized.
 
GH has a classic feed up but it begins in 2018. I believe it is called GH Spotlight & is on abc.com.
 
DOC is "on the air" on RetroTV. Apparently the last few years, the NBC produced years, are MIA. Also they are removing the copyright credit line. Reason unknown. Makes it difficult to date some episodes.
 
NEIGHBOURS: Amazon on both their Prime Video and on their free ad-supported FreeVee channel are streaming classic episodes of NEIGHBOURS. On FreeVee via Roku, for example, they are showing what they call Season 2012. On Amazon Prime under "Iconic Episodes" they are streaming what they call Season 1000 (1987) You can get FreeVee on your Rokus but you will have to go through the Add Channel process.

Yes, which is why I feel that it has to start with a preservation project at the very least to begin with - like, I could see Corday potentially digitizing DAYS as an example to preserve it, but the starting point can't probably be because anyone thinks it'll be financially rewarding.

It is amazing to me that Disney has as many soaps as P&G! They each have 7 by my count. 

But, reboot? No, it won't happen. If it were going to it would've had to be years before now. That time has just passed. Streaming classic episodes is at least a possibility, even if not likely.
