Why do we have to confirm our subscription to comments now? Also when someone replied to our comment it would be good to which comment they had replied to. Just a thought.
I totally forgot that Nick knew Daniel was innocent in killing Cassie but he chased him down anyway. And then Nick got Phyllis pregnant a yr after Cassie’s death. No wonder Sharon is so hurt. I mean major ouch! I wanted to enjoy rewatching Nick & Phyllis’ wedding but I just couldn’t after knowing how it happened. Nick’s looks with the messy hair didn’t look great either to me. And the way Dina left the family again when Jack was an adult. So sad. Dina had so much potential. Y&R really needs their teen scene back. Everyone on the show… Read more »
Some edgier and more timely stories would be great! Days and GH apparently do that. What’s ironic is that back in the day Y&R was a leader is such socially relevant storylines – AIDs, date rape, sexual harassment, addiction, etc. They tried a few years ago with teh sex worker ring, but didn’t do it justice.
Yeah that sex ring story sucked! I hope the writers are taking notes. The Neil tribute episodes were great but other than that I don’t know if the show is worthy of an emmy. Remember that story of the girl from Kyle’s past that came to town & drugged people?! Devon dealing with Hillary’s death was good though. Victoria Rowell (Dru) helped bring in the adoption story so maybe some of the current actors will bring something special now.
I have to disagree about the sex ring storyline. It is a very serious problem that happens in real life and pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t help get the message across.which is why the soaps do these stories. I just watched an old episode of the Facts of Life that I remember watching as a kid about prostitution. It is these stories that help to warn young people about the harsh realities and how to best handle the situation and stay safe.
I think having the sex storyline was important and applaud Y&R for doing it but it should have been better executed.
Yes that is what I should have said
Yes they did have some storylines that sucked, I think storylines were better more dramatic in the classic episodes. They need to make the viewer feel what is happening, like to see everyday life scenes along with the danger and action scenes. Bigger budgets mean better sets and outdoor locations. What kind of scenes will be coming after Covid -19, only time will tell
Nick didn’t know Daniel was innocent until Cassie told him before she died. It was wrong of Nick to have an affair with Phyllis after Cassie died, but it often happens that a couple breaks up after a child dies. Nick & Phyllis getting married was no surprise the couples keep changing and will continue to do so.I forgot Dina came back and then left again,although was nice to see her healthy and so young
And the Daytime Emmy goes too…
Y&R Outstanding Drama
Jason Thompson, Lead Actor
Bryton James, Supporting Actor
Ceremony was held remotely Friday, hosted by the cast of The View.
I thought the show was done well, except they showed scenes of Neil’s funeral then left him out of the Memorial segment. Congrats to all the winners, very deserving
Y&R’s whole emmy presentation was Neil’s funeral. Kristoff was likely memorialized last year, although the Daytime Emmys were not broadcast. I was surprised to like the show in quarantine. Although 2 hours, it seemed snappy and well paced.
Yes and none the the lame jokes the presenters always have. I never liked that. Neil was remembered last year. I think he was the first one. Jason Thompson & his acceptance speech was the cutest & I think best part of the show! His kids were saying I love you to one another & Jason had a huge smile on his face! <3 I would have liked to see the YR cast at the table, them on the red carpet dressed up & their reaction & live speeches but nothing we can do!
Not a Jason as Billy fan, but in contrast to his dark character, JT (not Helstrom) himself seems to have a lot of light around him and his crew.
I like Jason as Billy but was hard to shake his character on GH at first. My favorite Billy was Billy Miller, wasn’t so dark , that came after Delia died and he found out was Adam that killed her.
Yes. Interesting that such a light hearted jokester as BM instantly had to go dark beyond all limits. How much dark Billy Miller did we actually get? Didn’t he abandon the Delia ship to go over to GH pretty quickly after she died? Suddenly such a meaty role to choose to turn your back on… I don’t know if CHAT is still holding fast to their claim that Billy Miller will return to Y&R in 2020, but its a nice fantasy…
Oh that’s right it has been over a year since Kristoff died. My mistake.
You forgot Eva LaRue! She won for her guest role as Celeste! Hint hint writers! Here’s her post win interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p3-dWja2eA
Listening to the classic y&r background music is such a pleasure. It really brings you back in time. I remember all of the music as if it was yesterday.
I really liked the character of Milli who used to look after Cassie. She seems so kind, sweet and genuine.
I was so impressed with Cassie in that episode. She was such a nice character, still bothers me they killed her off, but glad Mariah is still on
And Cassie was the only one with the presence of mind to invite her back to the cottage for dinner after the win…
I thought the exact same thing
Right and Millie tried to take care of Cassie but she was too old to care for a child her age. I thought they were going to ask Millie to move in LOL!
I know I mentioned this before, but feel the need to mention it again. In these classic episodes, we see the character’s bedrooms quite often. They were very large as well. I also loved the old restaurants so much better than today’s sets. They were much more realistic looking in size, whereas now they look like a set
I agree, the sets were more realistic and is nice to see how the character lives
Yes. What is it? I think the sets may look more like sets today because they are over decorated, like Society. Too much to look at over the actors. I think part of Y&Rs concept with the dark Hollywood lighting in the beginning was to bring the actor’s faces into the forefront.
I completely forgot that Ashley was once married to Cole. Lucky her. I liked Cole’s character. He was hot. Poor Victoria though. Her ex-stepmother marries him as well as her own mother having an affair with him. He sure got around.
I forgot about that too, I just remembered him with Victoria. He is hot!
I was watching that episode and I thought, “Ashley was married to Cole?”
I didn’t like Josie Davis as Grace Turner as much as Jennifer Gareis. I don’t really remember her on the show. I feel like she looked too old for the role and I don’t like her face nearly as much as the second Grace. Josie Davis plays in a lot of LIfetime thriller movies. They are all good movies. Her character is always bad.
I liked Jennifer as Grace. She then moved on to B&B as Donna Logan
I thought Grace moved on to B&B still playing Grace! She’s not Grace???
Dina’s hair was so big and stiff with hairspray when she was having dinner with John. Was this an 80’s episode, because her hair was very 80’s. Just an observation
I like her hair shorter,was too puffed out .
Uh, did not expect to tear up at the end of today’s episode with Cassie. But this week’s Emmy-winning performances aside, a few highlights: 1. Ken (Danny’s video producer?) with his 80s hair and stash. 2. Danny hanging up on 911. 3. Neil and Dru’s sexy, stylized honeymoon video. 4. Miguel asking Jack a straightforward question about whethere he’ll have breakfast or wait for his wife and Jack saying “She won’t be down anytime soon” and then staring wistfully ahead while Miguel patiently waits. 5. Ashley slowly saying the words “ravish in the pounding surf.” God I love this show… Read more »
Favorite comment of the week right here!
I loved the Cassie scenes,especially in court. Such a good actress even at that young age.
QUESTION: Ali, what do you and the great Aretha Franklin share in common?
Hmmm… We can both hum???
NO!
You both love Y&R. When Eric B heard that Aretha was a fan he smiled! There’s a video about this on yt
Traci looks so young in the screen cap. Suicidal baby.
She was young, I almost didn’t recognize her. She had such insecurities, glad she has moved passed that feeling of not being good enough, now she is an accomplished author. She deserves a man though!
Ellen, apparently Michael Muhney debuted on Y&R 11 years ago today (or yesterday). Seems longer doesn’t it? This is said to be the same day Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passed away, as reported on the bottom of the TV screen as Y&R played… According to a source.
Gary, I came across this video where Vanessa Prentiss shoots her son Lance. Unfortunately, the actual shooting is not shown, there appeares to be a glitch, and the video quality is decidedly poor, but you do see Vanessa plead with Lorie for her help in dodging responsibility.
https://youtu.be/g-IU_2U2DSg?t=513
BANG, BANG , I SHOT MY BABY DOWN: Van shot Lance? Sounds big(!), but I can’t remember everything! She probably couldn’t see past her chiffon veil as it must have been a bad shot aiming for Lorie?
Now she expects Lorie to be an accomplice in her cover-up? Typical Vanessa…
I understand that it was a big deal at the time. Lorie agreed to accept responsibility for Lance getting shot in return Vanessa agreed to leave town for good. The situation became complicated, however, after Vanessa announced she was leaving. Lance, unaware of the deal his mother made, persuaded her not to go so, in the end, Lorie was left holding the bag and getting nothing in return.
Yes, but Ali will tell you, unpleasant Lorie is no victim. Only sometimes…
Seems like much longer than that! And what an awful day—Farrah and MJ! Is MM unlucky or does he make his own bad luck??? I see Mark Grossman didn’t win the Emmy his 1st time nominated. It’s okay though, I’m glad Bryton could honor Kristoff with his win.
CHAT had a blow-out planned for you had Grossman won. Happy for the Devon win for the totality of his work these last several years.
yes MM does seem to have terrible luck but he was the best Adam. I do like Grossman as runner up though,Doing a good job ,maybe will win Emmy next year. Devon had emotional scenes dealing with Neil’s death. Was very easy to be upset for those scenes because it was real. Everyone loved Kristoff
I came across this YouTube channel with 36 complete episodes of “The Young and the Restless” dating from 2012. They are not exactly what could be described as “classic” episodes but just in case anyone is interested here is a link.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2e3F3G2q7JqH20RA4pO3Mu9uWq_oXr_z
Ellen should enjoys these videos. There is Michael Muhney playing Adam and we get the opportunity to see the chemistry behind Mr. Muhney and Sharon Case. Another plus is that the first episode has Patty shooting Jack at his wedding ceremony. That scene alone is worth the price of admission.
I totally missed the M. Muhney phase, so look forward to watching it. I really liked Justin Hartley, but I must say that I’m a HUGE Mark Grossman fan!
Oooooh, must bookmark these links for posterity!!!!
If anyone can find the episode of Dec 13, 2016 let me know! Its when Lilly roll played a “nurse” for Cane after she was uneasy about his physical therapist
That physical therapist was hot and sexy Jessi. She is sorely missed. Cane broke his leg playing basketball with Charlie, ha, ha.
could probably find the episode on CBS Access or You Tube
Unfortunately Canadians don’t have CBS acess unless you use a VPN
I loved today’s episode – every single story! I kind of forgot that it was Jack who saw Nikki through her her drinking and sobriety and that special bond they still hold is about more than just being exes.
Also, how STUNNING was Jess Walton? And her embodiment of her character remains one of Y&R’s best.
And Brad, what a hunk. That’s all.
I agree. The writers gave Peter Bergman amazing material. He is a phenomenon actor and used every word, look and tear to display his frustration and love for the lovely, addicted Nikki. Congrats for the well-deserved Emmy.
Jack usually has loud haughty indignant self righteous anger, but here he was raw.
I felt the same way. I loved all the scenes and seeing the classic characters. Paul and Lynne at his old office, Brenda Epperson when she played Ashley, MIguel. I especially enjoyed seeing Brad and Traci on their honeymoon! It was very unexpected. I loved seeing the girl flirting with Brad. It’s very realistic. She was very pushy and forward I might add. Tracey looked so young and pretty. She had a slim face. She was very understanding of Brad’s interaction with the woman by the pool. She was very mature about the situation. It showed us that Tracey was… Read more »
Exactly! Traci blew the whole thing off and was cracking up as the floozy tucked her tail between her legs and scampered away…
I realize I should not refer to the modern, liberated woman as “floozy”. It was just for fun…
Tracy never looked better than when she was married to Brad. Too bad he had such a wandering eye,but don’t all the men on soaps act like they are God’s gift to women? Traci handled that situation perfectly. It was good to see her happy and sure of herself
I didn’t realize it was Jack that had to endure Nikki’s drinking. She was so pathetic in those scenes
