Gurl, no. Just no. Brenda was Jill Foster. Jess played the role longer and made it her own, but Brenda Dickson is the only Jill that really matters. Since no one will ever know the real story (either Brenda was unbearable and demanding and got herself fired or producers were out to sabotage her and succeeded) the one truth is, when Brenda played that role she never missed a beat. Every scene worked and was good soap opera. I remember I was in a kid and Brenda's Jill would show up at the mausoleum in the teaser act. My Grammy would say hurry up and eat your sandwich, it's gonna be a good show.

You clearly didn't see the show during Brenda's first run. Early 80s Jill is but one iteration of the character. If you didn't see early Jill, then you can't really say the actress doesn't have range. She took Jill from ambitious ingenue, to romantic heroine, to defeated and destroyed young widow, to revenge seeking schemer/social climber, and the audiences ate it up. She's remembered for the Alexis Carrington/Campy/Joan Crawford Jill, but that was but one version of the character.

Two key scenes that will always stick out in my mind is when Katherine offers to buy Jill's baby and the other scene is when Katherine admits to Jill that she knows that Phillip was Phillip's father, after she had taken her to court to declare the marriage invalid and Phillip a bastard.

For those who watched the long Jill/Kay arc of the 70’s and early 80’s, Brenda D was everything as Jill. I loved to hate her. Her stiff, formal, jagged delivery made sense in the context of her character. She was desperately trying to be something she wasn’t - upper crust. Jess Walton is talented but she’s never been Jill to me.

by Anonymousreply 35December 27, 2019 3:35 PM

I get a headache every time Jess Walton screeches as Jill. She's always yelling. I've seen her in tons of primetime stuff over the years and she was always good. She was NOT a good Jill replacement. Having said that she would have been a great Lorie Brooks replacement when JLB originally left. Deborah Adair was very good as Jill - she could have not played the vixen Dickson morphed into.

by Anonymousreply 36December 27, 2019 5:26 PM

I think Jess played Jill with more anger and it was a deliberate choice with her insecurity about her poor upbringing. I only started watching with Jess in the role in 87. There’s no denying some of the Jess Jeanne scenes were a riot and hilarious. Brenda is a terrible actress from what I’ve seen in YouTube clips. Apparently she played the role down a few notches in the 70s and early 80s. But she was campy fun before she exited the show.

by Anonymousreply 37December 27, 2019 5:42 PM

R31 I would only add that I don't think they really took her to full Alexis mode until 85/86 (during the lengthy divorce storyline), and of course, that's what they wanted from her as they inserted the character back into Jabot to continue being a thorn in everyone's side on the business front (post-divorce). But for the first couple of years she was back, she was still pretty much 'normal' Jill, or at least recognizabe Jill in transition. There used to be a really lovely scene with her and Beau when Brock returned in 1984 on youtube where he comes a-calling at the Abbott house to catch up with the new Mrs. John Abbott. I wish that scene was still available, because it showed how she could immediately call up Young Jill in a snap. There's no way Walton would have been able to convince us she was Jill in that scene.

I generally don't mind Walton, but like R36, I hate it when she barks her lines - which is far too often - and roll my eyes every time she calls someone "Darlin'" as if Jill's from Oklahoma. WTF? Sorry hon' that ain't Jill.

I only know Brenda Dickson from clips on YouTube. Jess Walton was already Jill when I was born and I didn't start watching Y&R until the late 00's. From my take on Jill from what I've seen, Brenda represents young vivacious Jill who thinks and pretends she knows it all and Jess represents an older embittered battle scarred Jill after she's actually learned it all. Jess is just an evolution of Brenda. If Brenda never left and continued playing Jill as is, it most likely would've gotten old and boring fast. It's called character development.

R76 Your female pal needs to do some research on things like behavioral or conditional bisexuality and situational homosexuality.

And punching Rafe would only have made Adam look more guilty (of gas lighting Ashley while allowing Rafe's Aunt Estella to take the blame) than Rafe was already beginning to consider. Rafe was about to search half-blind Adam's room for evidence, and Adam had to do something to get Rafe on side immediately. And because Adam was basically "in prison" in his bedroom at The Ranch (with the ankle device monitoring him), the only thing he could think of to distract gay Rafe was to express feelings for his attorney and prove them with sex. In that regard, it wasn't that different than a prisoner distracting the guard with sex in order to give him time to get rid of evidence in his cell.

Brendad was so bad but so good. She was funny without trying to be funny. That makes really good soap. The thing about soaps now is when they purposely try to be "funny" it falls flat. Soaps are within themselves just camp without ever having to try. The one exception was Dorothy Lyman's Opal Gardner which the likes of has never been seen again.

Heather Weber on GH was one of the best villains then in later years they made her into some clownish character that became painful to watch.

i wish i could find anywhere and i've tried and tried over the years the episodes of Y &R around 1982/83 of the late great john gibson as male stripper/gigolo jerry "cash" cashman!!!!!! Scenes of him shirtless in red spandex pants and scenes of him strutting around in the tiny blue speedo as he lounged around the mansion of Kay Chancellor soon to become her boy toy and only in soap opera land falling in actual love with the rich horny old bitty old enough to be his mother (if not more!) lol!

how i vaguely remember the scene of kate chancellor looking down from the 2nd floor of her mansion seeing his nearly naked body strutting around and then laying out and kate literally licking her licks and trembling all over! SO SO DAMN HOT!

R170 Cassie and Mariah's father was Sharon's boyfriend from high school named "Frank Barritt." We met Frank in the mid-90s during the original Cassie storyline, but he was later killed off during the Cameron Kirsten storyline.

In the New World Cult retcon with Ian Ward, we learned that a nurse at the hospital was a member of Ian's resurrected cult known as "The Path" and arranged to steal one of Sharon's babies. Apparently, Sharon didn't know she was preggers with twins, and she was so knocked out on drugs given to her by the doctor that she didn't know she'd given birth to two babies. Grace and Doris were at the hospital, but didn't know that either, as the second baby (Mariah), came later after Sharon was whisked off. The doctor agreed to be in on the scheme, because he was paid him off to cover his huge gambling debts. The nurse, "Helen Copeland", took the baby and raised "Mariah" as her own daughter in the cult.

If you're complaining about Mark Grossman, r231, shut the fuck up. He's terrific.

If, OTOH, you want to whine about Theo and Kyle, come sit at my table. I left the room during Kyle's most recent poutathon. They fired that Lauchlan guy to hire this utter douchebag? And Theo...well, just saying the name is enough.

R232 Grossman is somewhat hot but he does have that same ladyface most men have who were born after 1980. The guy who plays Chance actually looks like a real man which is why I like him. I used to think Grossman was hot now I think he looks very feminine plus he cannot grow facial hair at all. Something most FTMs can do easily. Kyla definitely has severe ladyface. Theo has it somewhat but he is also quite disturbingly ugly.

Viewers who watched Brenda in her earlier incarnation of Jill Foster know that's not the extent of her acting.

And whatever one thinks of her last couple of years in the role, it's obviously what TPTB wanted from her, because when they hired Walton, they stuck her in a room with a bunch of Brenda videos and told her "to act like her."

Poor Jess couldn't quite master it, and Lester finally advised her to give it up and try to make the character her own.

I know Young and the Restless always had a minimalist and dark look about it, but that lack of lighting in that clip is distracting, like the actors are blindfolded or something. They were still experimenting at this point, but I'm not entirely sure if this technique was successful in making the show look more natural or more artificial.

I know Bill Bell wanted to make sure his actors always looked great over anything else, and won kudos for the lighting on the show, but it was obviously to save money on backgrounds as well. As budgets got larger so did the amount of sets that were visible.

by Anonymousreply 253January 11, 2020 8:50 AM

The dark, moody lighting was more John Conboy than Bill Bell and was meant to give the show a look that showcased the youth and attractiveness of the actors over everything else. Or at least that's how John Conboy described it in an old SOD article about developing Y&R. Wes Kenney was big on the extreme closeup.

Ironically in between Brenda Dickson's stint as Jill Foster Abbott, there was another vixen who had camp potential and ironically was Jill's roommate (when played by Deborah Adair) for a while. The character of Eve Howard was played by "Days of Our Lives" veteran Margaret Mason who had been a fan favorite as gold-digger/trouble maker Linda Anderson (Melissa's natural mother), but during her first stint (1980-1981) had little to do other than harass Victor Newman over the fact that he had fathered her son, Charles (later re-named Cole). Eve came back on a recurring basis here and there after the initial stint, and by the end of 1982 was plotting to poison Victor for the money he promised to leave Charles. As Eve grew progressively mad, her performance was deliciously over the top. I recently found a whole bunch of mini-clips of her stint and remember enjoying her tremendously. When Eve escaped from a mental institution in 1984, it was to head back to Genoa City, disguise herself with big false teeth and a dark wig and try to kill Nikki. In 1993, Eve came back and nothing was mentioned of her past crimes. She was an absolute hoot, and quite scary! In real life, Margaret Mason was very sweet, having once wanted to be a nun. Sadly, she had major heart issues for years and died at a very young age.

I agree with you on Case's hair. I hate the color. It needs some low lights and they need to quit flat ironning it to death.If you do make to when they first did Sharon/Adam her hair was gorgeous. Beautiful color and her hair was full & lush as opposed to platinum & bone straight.

by Anonymousreply 292January 16, 2020 8:04 PM

R289 Long story short -- No, Sharon and Celeste never actually met.

======

When Celeste first showed up, Rey was out of town for awhile, so Sharon didn't figure. When Rey got back, Celeste made some comment about wanting to meet his "girlfriend Sharon," but it never happened, because Celeste soon returned to Miami, as she'd decided it was better that she not attend the wedding. And it was during Celeste's time away that Rey and Sharon broke up; so even though she did return for the wedding, Sharon wasn't in attendance.

Sharon and Celeste did see each other, though, but didn't actually meet. It was when pervy Adrian came in to Crimson Lights and hit on Sharon. Rey showed up and intervened. At some point, Celeste came on the scene as well. I think they were on the patio, but by this time Sharon was back inside the coffee house, so they were across the set. Later on, Sharon guessed that the woman she'd seen talking to Rey and Adrian was Rey's mother; and similarly, Celeste later asked Rey if "the blonde" she'd seen him talking to was Sharon. .. By the time Celeste returned to Miami, Rey and Sharon were still split.

by Anonymousreply 293January 16, 2020 8:34 PM

Some more on Eve ... As I recall, when we learned Eve had survived being shipped off to Timbuktu in Nikki's wedding trunk, we saw her very briefly in a mental institution where she met fellow Victor-Nikki hater, Rick Daros. .. I believe this was the first time we learned that Rick had actually survived the big showdown in. St. Croix, where he'd disappeared in the ocean, with everyone thinking he'd drown. .. Rick and Eve plotted to escape and return to Genoa City to wreck havoc on the Newmans. .. At one point, Nikki thought she'd seen Rick while she was out shopping, but the notion was poo-pooed by Victor. .. This Rick-Eve storyline was soon aborted, and we got the Cora Miller story instead.

I can confirm that the show is in the process of recasting Katherine and it will NOT be Michael Learned. The show is de-aging the character by around a decade. Name actresses have been reading for the part. Honestly I can’t believe that some of the actors are performing these scripts. They are not on contract.

If the storyline tanks (and it will) then the contingency plan is to “cure” Dina’s Alzheimer’s and shift her into the role of Genoa City matriarch. If you ask me, the show should have just done that in the first place.

Not same poster here-my ex-bf’s sister worked at Sony- but there was a story proposal during Chuck Pratt’s run to bring back Katherine around late 2015-early 2016 in time for February Sweeps. CBS nixed it but it would make sense that Sony/Steve Kent would want to dust it off now given the show’s anemic ratings. Steve Kent also wants to save his old chum Josh Griffith’s job.

There is NO way Katherine is coming back, and if they did it would kill the show. It is one thing to have younger characters like Adam come back from the dead, but it is entirely ridiculous to have a long term legendary character like Katherine Chancellor, who died of old age, come back. Y&R has always been a soap more firmly grounded in reality than most of the rest. The fans would balk at such a story and ratings would tank. It isn’t going to happen!

That's not entirely correct. .. Kim has actually been hired to play Traci's heretofore unknown TWIN SISTER, "Trixi Abbott" who was separated at birth. Traci will soon discover that she might have a twin when she reads the notes written in the margin of Dina's old copy of a Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors." .. Apparently, John was too busy building Jabot to notice that Dina was pregnant with twins. And when it came time to bring the baby girls home from the hospital, Dina didn't want to break a sweat, so she left one of them there to be adopted out. All we know right now is that Traci finds Trixci working at the Walnut Grove school cafeteria. And when she was younger, Trixi she was known as the "Floozy of Fond du Lac."

Sony Pictures is considered one of the companies ViacomCBS might want to purchase/merge with, in order to beef up their size. If that happens Y&R will become an in house production, that CBS could exploit around the world. I could see it return to Network Ten in Australia, and maybe be given a chance on Channel 5 in the UK. Plus, if ViacomCBS wants to expand to become a player in French television, Y&R is a major hit there.

by Anonymousreply 365January 30, 2020 11:31 PM

Both Y&R and Days already air in an afternoon "soap block" on Channel 9 (GEM) in Australia. On that commercial broadcast channel, Y&R has a 90-day delay due to the Foxtel agreement for presentation of the show on Fox One. So really, there are already two ways for viewers in Oz to watch Y&R. And if they wanted to, Sony could easily put Y&R on their own "Sony Channel" in the UK. That's what they just announced they're doing with Days.

It think the WGA award is more for the craft of writing than actual storyline. A package is submitted to show how the teleplay was created from a summary/outline, leading to scene breakdown, to become the dialogue-subtext that makes up the script. It's limited to three scripts, and they don't even have to be consecutive. In terms of actual "storyline", the shows get to submit a precis of no more than 1000 words to describe the who and what that's going on, so the judges have some context. .. But three scripts out of 250 for the whole year -- somehow I imagine every soap has three scripts a year where they've done something fairly remarkable.

Chance has barely had any scenes with his grandmother Jill (Jill has had more scenes with Devon in recent months that she has with Chance). And I don't think he's had a single scene with his uncle Billy or his great-grandmother's maid Esther. Nor has he mentioned his father Phillip III or other relatives like Ronan or Brock or Mac.

And this would be even less "incestuous" since they can't procreate and produce a moron. .. In fact, it would probably even be legal in Wisconsin, since the state's law about heterosexual cousins allows such relationships, if one of the parties can prove that he/she is sterile or that the female is over the age of 55 (therefore assumed to be past child bearing age). .. Personally, I think having it come out that these two guys used to fool around on occasion before knowing that they were related would carry an edge of soapy scandal to it -- controversial, but not illegal.

If Kyle thought Theo was getting involved with Lola now, he would probably rant that the guy can't be trusted (because he knows he swings both ways). But would he "out" Theo to Lola and expose his own partyboy experimentation from their past in NY? ..

[quote] What storyline would YOU like to see for Traci?

I see at least a two-year storyline:

After another fallout between Victor & Nikki ... Traci finally has her shot with The Great Victor Newman! .. But during one of their steamy sex romps, Victor up and dies of a heart attack, leading Traci to suffer GINORMOUS guilt thinking that she's not only killed him, but her own daughter, Colleen, whose heart was inside The Old Goat's chest!

This trauma sends Traci back to her bulimia days, and she gets hooked on black beauties again. .. Soon it becomes apparent that Traci's drug dealer, "Sparky", has a thing for the XXXL ladies, and eventually, he'll only give Traci the goods, if she prostitutes herself. .. Addict Traci submits to his sexual demands, but little does she know that Sparky is also videotaping their sessions!

So even after Jack and Ashley are able to convince their messed-up sister to go to rehab, Sparky is out there putting up revenge clips of Traci at numerous fetish porn sites and selling full copies of the videos he's made of her. Turns out, some Russian multi-billionaire becomes Traci's No. 1 fan.

And what happens after Sparky is found murdered? It's a MASSIVE nightmare for Traci when she becomes the prime suspect in the case, leading Chief Paul to arrest her and Michael LaBaldwin to prosecute her!

But even though Traci is locked up while awaiting trial, could this ironically be when she finally finds the great love of her life? It seems that after just one night with her new cellmate, "Maybellene", Traci experiences what can only be termed an "Incredible & Amazing" awakening! And despite being in a "caged heat" environment, a tender love story ensues, so move over Teriah! You have competition!

Whatever happens -- one thing for sure is -- the portion control administered by the prison cafeteria forces Traci to drop 50 pounds, and upon being acquitted at trial and released, she's never felt better!

With the ordeal seemingly over, Traci decides to pull out her laptop to recount her experiences, and a new novel soon follows, but will Maybellene once she's released? .. And what about that Russian multi-billionaire? Has he decided to come to Genoa City to make Traci his own by threatening to bring Jabot to its knees unless she becomes his wife? .. And if our heroine does, will he keep her under lock and key and demand that she eat three cheesecakes per day to put the weight back on? .. Stay tuned.

I wonder how big it will be? Will it be old-school battery-operated? They should seize the product placement opportunity and have her do something to him with an OhMiBod.

R441, I toyed with Adam. Look where it got me.

In case anyone's interested, Monday's show opens with fresh-from-the-shower Chance wearing a towel.

I think that's Tamara Clatterbuck (?) on her lap?

Who are the others?

R445 the only other one I recognize is Jennifer Gareis, who used to be on YR and now BB. She’s in the blue dress.

R445 Yes, that's Tamara. .. Three of Sharon's BFF's are Tamara, Jennifer Gareis (Grace), and Lauren Woodland (Brittany Hodges). So they make up the three gals to the right. Of course, her honey, Mark Grossman (Adam) is next to her. I'm guessing the darker haired woman and man to the left could be family (?) I only say that because her caption read:

[quote] Thanks to my friends and family for such a fun birthday 🎂 weekend celebration! And thanks to all of you for sending me your beautiful birthday wishes ❤️😊

And the woman does sort of resemble her (imho). Maybe the guy is with her? Or perhaps a brother? I know nothing about Case's family, so can't say.

Of course Mark Grossman right next to Sharon, who she’s fucking currently.

Last week at the screening of "Studio City" (Sean Kanan's series starring a bunch of soap actors).

I'm thinking that the other unidentified pair is the same couple that she went on vacation with to Sardinia about three years ago. She had a photo of them on the boat. She didn't identify them then either.

This week's YR is going to be awful. I have zero desire to see a week long rimming of Eric Braeden or Victor Newman

by Anonymousreply 451February 16, 2020 12:27 PM

A three minute rimming of Eric Braeden would be sufficient for me.

No, no one wants to rim EB ever. He stinks of sauerkraut and moldy balls.

If I weren't dead, I yank his ballsac.

They're probably down to his knees by now.

I've been told this thread appears to be paywalled for some, so here's a new thread!

(I did so love this one, and the video attached)
