Regardless of the change in tv models, advertisers still advertise so yes.

But seriously, we are about to a remodel and a wedding with some returns on this show, a death and an awakening on GH at the least and Idk what DAYS is planning or B&B will do anything so I expect some story explosions.

A big shock at the wedding? We'll see...

So great to see Jess/Jill. She seems stoked to be there. Hopefully more Jill to come.

And everyone looked good. Costuming is already improving.

Ed Scott is credited on Monday. Watched the Global episode. Everyone was appropriately dressed for the season. Not a one shoulder or backless dress to be seen. Although Sharon is wearing a fugly mini dress.

We saw CL, GCAC and Society of course but the director kept the shots tight so we didn't see the empty tables and used the extras in the shot to give an impression that it was busy.

And there was a bedroom set!

No to Billy/Sally. Wish Josh would stop the musical couples.

Sally has now been with Jack, Adam,Nick and Billy.

Billy with Victoria, Chelsea, Lily and now Sally.

It's like Josh just picks names out of a hat, writes these couples as truly in love then breaks them up and moves on.

Yep, Monday's US episode is Ed's first episode back in the credits, and though not a huge overnight change for the common viewer who don't notice a lot of things, it was definitely 'different' and probably a sign of things to come production-wise. 

I also noticed Michelle Stafford's acting was more understated (for her standards these days at least) than she normally is. She mentioned how Ed likes to rush out from the booth and on to the set to give the actors feedback, and she certainly needs that...

Griffith's stories are still like the flattest bottle of soda you'll ever taste though...

That 13,000 episode promo truly captures the glamour and opulence that used to be a hallmark of Y&R. Everyone was dressed perfectly.

And, gosh, if JW didn't look fantastic! I will credit Y&R for keeping vets like JW, ED and BM around in some capacity.

Thrilled to see more of the Newman Ranch. It's about time. Just like I never get sick of seeing the Abbott living room, that iconic set should've never been retired.

There's only one shock that would matter for Devon/Abby's wedding: it'd involve an Emmy winner returning, which I know everyone would love to see.

Perhaps the show really wanted a specific name actor on the show and they had to give him some connections to the canvas?

Someone older than Nate could have some teenaged kids right? 

I would love to see Hilary return with Damien. But in my mind Dru returns as an amnesiac homeless woman and Victoria Rowell is given a chance to act the way she can.

We probably won’t get the classic music back, but the use of music in tomorrow’s US episode is quite different from what we’ve been getting and much more in-line with the way Y&R used to use music. Particularly in some scenes with Nate/Amy, and Phyllis/Summer. I think this is naturally some of Ed Scott’s initial influence. Sally McDonald also directed, so there’s naturally a vintage Y&R flair. 

The GCAC scenes with Billy/Lily also looked “busier” and less “empty” than they usually have recently.

    • At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.
    • I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space. 
    • Errol posted that Ed Scott retired  
    • Thanks!  @Soapsuds

    • Hopefully they can expand some of the sets again. I watched some 04/05 episodes and forgot how much more grand the production used to feel. I wonder if YR will be staying put or going there or somewhere else as well.
    • DAYS posted the recipe! https://www.instagram.com/p/DKiMVZvuZje/ dayspeacock June 5, 2025 Tomorrow is National Donut Day! Here’s Alice Horton’s famous recipe! #NationalDonutDay #Donuts #Recipe #DOOL #Days #Daysofourlives #TBT Ingredients: 2 eggs 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of milk 5 tablespoons melted shortening 1-teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring 4 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 stick butter, melted Cinnamon Sugar In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly. Stir in milk, shortening and vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, mixing well. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes to one hour for easier handling. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Roll out or pat the dough on a lightly floured board to a half inch thickness. Cut with a doughnut cutter. Place the doughnuts and holes on the baking sheet, one inch apart. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush each doughnut and doughnut holes with melted butter and roll in Cinnamon Sugar to coat all sides. Makes about 36 doughnuts. Cinnamon Sugar: 1 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, blending well.                                                                                
    • "Jordan and Robert have the best brother chemistry. " They certainly did!  And that chemistry worked no matter who served as the protagonist in a given scene or story.  A shame that a full-blown story was never developed for those two.  Wouldn't have needed to be adversarial, either.  Maybe a serious, unexpected, long-term outside threat, business or personal, to one of the brothers with the other coming to his aid.      
    • Meant to come back to this!

      I was able to find most of them. I am not sure if you did 1974-1977 but I did not find it in the 70s thread.

    • Mrs. H used the donuts to distract from the expensive jewels that she hid in the walls of her kitchen.  Now, it all makes sense...

      I thought a smart cookie like Caroline Brady would've had the chance to hide a bauble of her own from her dalliance with Victor.
