Corrected that for you

LOL that is so true! 😂

Pratt’s era basically turned Y&R into Melrose Place circa 1996, with even more clumsy and frenetic pacing issues complete with some type of literal explosion occurring every month.

See? I remembering reading some of that, but I didn't know Patty and Ian...ewww.

Yeah it was gross. They crossed paths in the chaos after the bombing…both were presumed dead in the bombing but later were shown in some no tell motel in bed together with champagne like a month later.

Same here. I absolutely love that opening at it was Abbott filled with OGJill & Katherine closing it out.

Also seeing Brock & Gina together nearly made me cry in joy. 💗

This is 1985 not 84

The only reason I think it's 1985 is because Shawn poisoning Danny's voice. I know in early 1986, he went to have surgery to fix. Plus, the opening used (If accurate) has Brad in it. Don didn't start on #YR until 1985.

I was about to ask if it was really 84 or 85 because my tv guide says 1985.

The show was #1 for that week.

Mary Williams!! How I miss that meddling mother from hell!!😂

Who was the woman with Andy? Was it Farren? Was that Frank Lewis dressed as Santa?

The woman with Andy was his mystery woman Faren, while it was Jazz who was dressed up as Santa.

Gina had her share of Christmas miracles in that church didn’t she? 2 years later she would reunite with Rex there.

Indeed it was!!

I too wondering if anything got edited out. I don’t usually watch live just on DVR. I did notice a boatload of “Help the animals” and “Help the kids” commercials. Not to nitpick the good causes but they seem to be made even more depressing on purpose around the holidays.

Yeah I'd say something got edited given back then the run time was about 10 minutes longer than now

I do wish the Jackson brothers had stayed into the 90’s to mingle with the Barber sisters while Tyrone gave Neil a big run for his money. Pity Tyrone got stuck with that messy story he had, and did Jazz even have a love interest besides being friends with Boobsie and pining for Amy himself?

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

I think those are both good examples.
I do believe JB was popular as Vicky. Although I don't know if she got really lucky or was actually good. Her role as Melissa on GH and her off screen antics make me think it was the former.

Maybe the three key Margo Hugheses on ATWT? There was a fourth like Bransford who didn't go over well, but the others were very distinctive and to my understanding popular.
Vicky Hudson on AW might be the same, though I have never cared much for Jensen Buchanan lol.

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

I thought the scenes between Britt and Jason were well done, so I'll give KT props for that at least. I agree it felt like she was asking too much of him. It's unrealistic to think Jason, of all people, would be 100% committed to anyone at this point and he actually shouldn't have to be when he's just offering help? Britt also has family that would be happy to help her, so it's not as if she's all alone in the world.
The whole Dalton murder and Britt/Sidwell connection is fine I suppose, but it feels like the show just scrapped Emma's only story. All the months she spent trying to get in good with Dalton yet she never cracked the case and now he's dead.

Your daily (or nightly) thought

That's great that you've found something to enjoy. I remember my first telenovela as a child - Rosalinda. I was obsessed. I was sooo little, practically a baby, but remember re-enacting scenes from the show, fake falling down the stairs like Rosalinda and fake-getting run by car like she was. I would recreate these hyper dramatic moments all day long. My father cringing every time he sees me. 😄

Cherie Jimenez as Gabi on Days. I am not sure if Camila Banus was ever super popular, but she led storyline and was on the show for years.
Not to veer off topic, but I am also quite fascinated by the Carly situation on GH. I know TB wasn't immediately accepted, while Laura was due to the Bransford situation, but it has to be rare to have such longevity and success with three separate actors in the role. Are there other roles/actors that have achieved that?

That was a messy story. I'm still waiting for Krista to write her tell all book. 😄

Thank you for reminding me! I think I know which ones you are referring to. It's just so hard to follow what is up and what gets taken down from YouTube. I think they've been cleaning a lot of channels due to this new streaming thing.
BTW, I was just watching again and I guess Susan Lucci was on hiatus, because Erica is nowhere to be seen. They left us on a cliffhanger and now I watch every episode expecting to see what happened with her and the clown. Manipulative writing.

D'oh! That makes sense. In that case, Jill Larson (AMC) as Opal. She had the additional advantage of the character being offscreen for a half-decade.

Kimberley is another, definitely, especially as she got to stand on her own with the Musketeers phasing out.
Those are the responses I was most interested in seeing, but I didn't want to make a lot of rules because I am enjoying seeing the different suggestions, even for people who were replacing lesser-known performers.
