[@Spiderman7Bob7]

As old as this is it is a treat to watch these old favorites from Y &R. That's how I pass the time sometime. May these treasures remain on KZbin so many folks can find these by 'accident' like I did.

[@wendirose509]

Wonderful comment!

[@JJ-wk5wy]

I love watching these old clips too. I was a kid back then, this is the Y&R I grew up with.

[@joydunn2109]

Me too

Love Jeannie I cried when she died especially when they had the tribute

[@Janeandtarzan007]

I still watch this show. The best soap opera ever hands down bar none!!

[@donaldcasey3990]

Jean Cooper was the one of a handful of good actresses of daytime drama I have seen her on old television dramas such as Perry Mason wagon train Bonanza big valley The twilight zone in many many more she was surely one of the greatest actresses character actresses of television history. Rest in peace, Duchess.

[@johnemery285]

I always thought that Jeanne Cooper was the show. But evidently that was not the case. She was a very important part of the show.

[@trishsiprell6996]

The Duchess forever!!!!!💎

[@trishsiprell6996]

@@johnemery285 You were right. The Duchess was the heart and soul of Y&R. The essence of the show disappeared when she died. God bless you, beautiful lady. We will never forget you.💎

[@edgefan4437]

They all look so young on this but it was only 1990. 31 years ago, hard to believe.

[@donaldewert2402]

I was never a soap opera watcher but I knew who Jeanne Cooper was!!

[@tonyageorge8972]

I love this show...miss seeing Doug on the show and Laura Lee too...rip Jeanne Cooper and Bill Bell

[@amiehampton7070]

That is soo amazing storylines back then.That is why The Young and The Restless jump to #1 spot year earlier. Bill Bell is outstanding genius.Jeanne Cooper is been remember today. She is fantastic and bring humor and play double role as Marge. God rest her Soul. She and Bill Bell is still be missed.

I have been with the show since day one, thru thick and thin& lucky enough to do fan clubs & fan events with the cast from the start. I had called Bill Bell to complain about a blooper( Palm Trees in Wisconsin ? ) & asked me if I wanted a job with the show. Such a Great Time...Bill & Lee are just the Best !

[@ameliaerin1544]

Thanks for the memories!

[@1thetvzone]

Did you say yes, Mr. Bell I would love a job. That a good story tell more...

[@maddyhayes617]

I have watched since it began in '73 and remember taping on VHS tapes, and have met some of the cast!!!!!

[@tamirmoav3774]

well... then you have to open a channel and upload them! its rare!

[@maddyhayes617]

Peter and Paul are my favorites I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Doug. He is soooooo down to earth and personable. I also had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Jaime Lyn Bauer. She is the same as Doug. What a super nice lady!!!!!!🙂

[@urbancowgirl2245]

I'm going to dig out all of my VHS tapes of Y&R and B&B. I have at least 50. I used to record those 2 shows everyday.

[@princessJayNay22]

I love how Bill responded about Cricket's rape! The show isn't what it once was, the writers are not living up to the legacy of Bill Bell!!!!

[@MattJr4793]

I agree his answer was on point because nothing against that woman but she was flipping out like they show private parts but in terms of the rape they did it spotlight the issue & to help those who went something similar

[@anthonymeans7439]

Agree!

[@trishsiprell6996]

@@MattJr4793 Y&R did many storylines like this back in the day to spotlight issues: Alcoholism, breast cancer, plastic surgery, how to do CPR on an infant (Victor/Nicholas as an infant; he nearly drowned in the pool and Victor saved his life.) They even did an AIDS storyline on Cricket's mom. Jack found a lady, Lan, he had loved in Vietnam, and he had a son with her. Lots of wonderful storylines, never boring!

5:12 That was a fantastic scene with Paul and Cassandra. She was the character which brought the show to Number 1.

[@mainecoon6514]

The Paul and Cassandra storyline was intense.

[@Regreviews]

89 was a great year

[@boomer3150]

@@mainecoon6514 I still regret being hired at a new job while drama was unfolding. Paul's dad was a cop, and for some reason Paul joined the mob to eventually help his dad. Of course, Paul had to be believable as a mobster, so his dad was very hurt by his apparent descent into crime. Never found out how that turned out. Paul reminds me of Matthew Perry.

[@Christine-uh5ev]

Lauralee is such a great actress. Miss seeing her and Paul on the show FT.

[@lhistoirequifaitmal6176]

Thank you

[@BLTKellys]

When Jeanne Cooper died, a lot of the show’s humour was lost. They should have brought Barbara Crampton back to fill the space.

[@mainecoon6514]

Y&R should show footage of Kay Chancellor to keep her in the storylines.

I think it was you that had a really good Betty White Post the other night it was something I saw and I would subscribe to this channel I think I will because I'm watching The Young and the Restless from 1990 and Doug Davidson is on there and with them giving control of that show two writers now a lot of good people that should be on that so are not or have been recasted and Doug has just not been done right he has taken it very well and he is still very good to his van but this is a very precious video to me and I thank you for it and your channel has had some very special things recently which I think you for sincerely Joe Cooper please try to find a video light like that that is recent for being be and when I mean recent John McCook who started out as one of the Prentiss Brothers on wine or has been playing Eric Forrester since Bold and the Beautiful started I believe 35 years ago that is the one I still watch Daily because it is only 30 minutes George The Animal is very special and I thank you for it have a great day sincerely Joe Cooper

Lauralee Bell had no business being on Y&R...she's a horrific actress, always has been. Your daddy being in charge might be overlooked if you have talent but she has none. So frustrating that she got away with that.

[@1thetvzone]

hey if your dad had a show and put you on- I'm sure somebody would of said the same thing. It's what it's. His one son runs Bold and Beautiful and the other son runs the family production company. That what a family business does.

[@trishsiprell6996]

@@1thetvzone Exactly right. Jealous much, Derexican? Or are you saying that if your parents created the #1 soap on TV, you wouldn't act on it? Of course you would, if that was your ambition. Those of us who've watched Ms. Bell from the beginning realize it probably wasn't all roses for her. And I, for one, admire Ms. Bell for her perseverance, dedication and courage despite the naysayers. Good for you, Lauralee. Some people just need to get over it and grow up. 🤣

Eric seems miserable and full of himself…opinionated and threw Peter Bergman under the bus about actors and kissing. He has a lot of Vi for Newman in him.
