Yes I've noticed that Mealor really speaks like Bergman, it's fascinating.  I find the character of Kyle to be annoying and I'm not that entranced with Mealor's acting, but I have noticed his ability to mimic Bergman's delivery.

As I am a viewer who is hard-of-hearing, I have always appreciated PB's enunciation, even if nobody speaks that way in real life.  He's one of the few actors I can understand without closed-captioning!

All I can think about is how she looks now vs how both Jeanne Cooper and Susan Flannery for example looked at 61. For Jeanne that was 1989/1990 and Susan 2000/2001. Definitely a huge contrast! lol 

Sorry if this belongs in the spoiler thread but on Christmas Day they are gonna show the Christmas Eve episode from 1985!

@YRfan23 @kalbir

 Completely agree with this sentiment as well. Mealor may not be the best actor but he is the best Kyle we’ve ever had lol at least since his return in 2022. He does do better with stronger dominant actresses like AL and ZS, but of course their characters have settled for Alpha males at the moment as opposed Beta male Kyle lol. 
 

@Taoboi believe it or not you’re actually ahead of me too, but now that I have a 2 1/2 week break ahead I’m about binge watch this weekend to catch up (for better or worse from some recaps & comments I read )

Reasons why I wished at some point that Sony had released Y&R classic episode collections on DVD around the same time SoapClassics was doing their thing with ATWT and GL while B&B was released internationally.

One of my Y&R Christmas wishes for 2025 (besides the show getting a competent and successful new HW lol) is that classic stuff turns up on that upcoming YT channel in 2025.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of

    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975.
