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.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.

      I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.

      Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.

      Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

        1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.

      Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By kalbir · Posted

      Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.
