With the return of the Newman ranch, which is much bigger than their previous set and the addition of Billy's house, which seems quite spacious,I wonder if there has been some changes in the way these things are done.

And the previous Newman set is now being used for Adam/Chelsea.

Are there now fewer sets in use overall to make room for these?

I'm awaiting a clear answer to that, too.

These larger sets -- the new Newman ranch, the previous Newman house, and Billy's new place -- are great, but it's a mistake if this means fewer sets overall. The last thing we need is even more characters running between Society and Crimson Lights.

Question for longtime Y&R fans who might know: what were the sets like when the show premiered in '73?  Were there a lot of 'em?  How lavish-looking were they?  Because, I can imagine there was mostly the Brooks' living room/foyer, the Fosters' living room, Pierre's restaurant, and later Katherine's foyer and living room.

There was also the hospital. Snapper spent lots of time there, mostly in a breakroom I think. Greg had a small law office in Stuart's building. Jill worked at the salon. There was the Chronicle Office and Sally's love shack. Brad and Pierre lived in rooms upstairs from the restaurant (perhaps one of them was the same room that Jack later rented above Gina's).

I think the Fosters had a kitchen as well.

The sets were fine for the times. I found Pierre's to be a bit basic, but the Brooks house was appropriate for an upper middle class family.

Of course Conboy's moody lighting added its own dimension.

Am I right in saying that the zig zag wallpaper  adorning the Brook's staircase area wasn't there initially?

Oh @Antoyne, you sure did not lie!!! I hollered at that ending. Well-played, Nate!!!

 

Yes, I'm talking about the Damian storyline. And yet another turn...and coming off the Tale of Newman Psychos, I'm here for it. There was even a near miss between Nate and RealDamian, too. I was like grrrr. I loved that the Amy/Audra conversation from last episode about work continued in this one. I was just sorry that Amy started to feel ill. And Amy and that ending...perfect little cliffhanger. 

 

Yay!!! Tracy's back! And Diane's got her. I admit that the whole talk between them about changing up the Abbott house felt quite meta. It goes without saying that Y&R has been hit and MOSTLY miss in the past when it comes to new sets and touching up old ones. So good to see them get ahead of it with this talk. With Ed Scott back, I would think what they have planned is going to dazzle, but I still am very cautious just like Jack. 

 

I wonder if that Nate/Nikki scene is setting up for something. 

 

I really can't figure out if Claire has gone back to Mary Sue or is HE playing layers.

YESSS!!! FINALLY!!! 

 

Friday cliffhanger indeed!!! And yes, I loved the camerawork for the last scene. Complete old school Y&R with the main person talking in the foreground with a character blurred in the background. Chills.

 

My highlight was the Daiman storyline again!!! The reveal of who Holden was to Amy and Nate. And Ms. Amy actress was bringing it. More edgy than she has been and that tone of steel at being deceived. I liked Nate leveled with Holden. Getting us to that cliffhanger. 

 

You know what? I loved seeing Chloe. She looked positively refreshed. I didn't even mind the Kevin mention. He can stay off-screen. But her scene with Sally was cute.

 

RME at the Billy/Giggly Heffa/Daniel scene. And Jack gave Billy money to start up his business? When did he and Jack get back on good terms after that Billy temper tantrum he threw? 

 

Pretty good week.

The thing is with the Newman story like the previous Ashley story, JG proved he can do good soap when he tries. A complete lack of follow up on your previous week’s final leading stories is absolutely terrible soap. And honestly I’m already bored with the Newmans following the excitement of the story but it was always better when it was focused on Sharon anyway.

      Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.

      The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archivedcopy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      By alwaysAMC · Posted

      Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.

      What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.

      Y&R: Old Articles

      By j swift · Posted

      Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.

      I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.

      There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.

      I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
