What a beautiful scene and a perfect end to Katherine.

I did enjoy today’s show it was good and I didn’t ff anything for a change.
I am pleased that Victor is out of jail, and they didn’t drag out a long court case that was kind of them.

WHAT A WONDERFUL TREAT TO SEE KATHERINE ……MISS HER…WONDERFUL LAST SCENE….WHAT A LADY!!!!!

I Was thrilled to see the flashback, Oh how I miss Kay. I can see a big change in the way Mal Young produces v/s the horrible JFP. Nice to see Jill, the mansion and even the Newman Ranch. Y&R might just be saved. Great episode, Thank you for showing the Jess Walton/Jeanne Cooper final scene.

As any long-time fan of The Young and the Restless knows, the late Jeanne Cooper’s first scene was in November 1973 with the original Jill, Brenda Dickson, who played the role from 1973-1980, and again, from 1983-1987. Jill was a manicurist then, and Katherine Chancellor came into the beauty salon, which I believe was called Hazel’s, named for the lady who owned the salon, and Katherine was dragging one of her very expensive furs, and asked Jill to pick it up for her, and the rest, as they say, is history. Thus began soap opera’s longest-running feud. Since then, we have seen a total of six Jills, and a total of five Katherines. The final scene with Katherine and the present Jill, Jess Walton, which aired in early-May 2013, was very sad, yet very touching. Jess Walton has played Jill from 1987-2012, as a regular cast member, but she voluntarily went on recurring status in 2012, and presently, only returns from time to time, which is sad as well, seeing that Jill is the only Y&R character that has been on the show since the very beginning. Jess Walton also has the distinction of playing Jill longer than any of the other five actresses who have played Jill through the years, combined, which is quite an accomplishment. I have an album filled with many autographed pictures from different soap stars, and the first photo in my album is an autographed picture from Jeanne Cooper, on which she wrote, “Dearest Michael, My love to you.” Jeanne Cooper also sent me a letter with the autographed picture, and wrote in the letter, that she couldn’t get over how I remembered all the Jills and their real names, which I thought was a great compliment, coming from Jeanne. I do try to remember many different things. The lovely Jeanne Cooper, will always be remembered, and greatly missed from Y&R, and I’m very sure that everybody will agree with me on that. Y&R just isn’t the same without you, dear Jeanne, and never will be again! Thank you for all the wonderful and priceless scenes you gave us, through the years. You were phenomenal in every scene! Lastly, when they showed Jill, walking through the Chancellor mansion, the way it was when Katherine lived there, it was so beautiful, and should have been kept the way it originally was, out of respect for Mrs. Chancellor’s memory! Many people, including friends of mine, were commenting on how horrible it looks now! That dark, greenish blue color is revolting! I do think, however, that when they renovate it again, and use the lighter colors, which Jill approved of, in yesterday’s episode, I believe it was, the Chancellor mansion will be restored to beauty and elegance once again!

At close to 2 minutes, BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING CLIP!!!!! However, I wish that TPTB of Y&R would restore that TOTALLY TACKY EYESORE of a house back to the beautiful, breathtaking and elegant Chancellor mansion…where it belongs…QUICKLY!!!!!

Later.

Thank you, April. In fact, today July 28th, makes 36 years ago, that actress Wesley Pfenning, played the role of Lorie Brooks for just one episode. The funny thing here is that this was on a Monday, and just three days before, on Friday evening, July 25th, 1980, Wesley Pfenning was a guest star in an episode of. Here’s Boomer, a prime time series about a very smart little dog named Boomer, who helped the people on the show solve mysteries, or something to that effect. My late mom knew how much I loved Jaime Lyn Bauer, and mom was teasing me, that Wesley Pfenning resembled my “girlfriend” Lorie Brooks from The Young and the Restless. LOL! I remarked that they did indeed resemble each other, except that Jaime Lyn Bauer’s features were a little more sharp that Wesley Pfenning’s. The following Monday, my late dad was going to take me to buy some summer clothes. We were on the subway train station platform, which was around the corner from our former house in our old neighborhood, and dad remembered that he had to do something else that day, and couldn’t reschedule it, so he said we would go clothes shopping the following week. We came home, and dad left to take care of what he had to do. I turned on Y&R, and they announced that due to the illness of Jaime Lyn Bauer, the role of Lorie Brooks was being played by Wesley Pfenning. I said to my mom that she was only saying on Friday evening when we were watching Here’s Boomer, that Wesley Pfenning looked like Jaime Lyn Bauer, and what a coincidence that she was playing her Y&R role temporarily. This was in 1980. Mind you, had dad and I gone shopping for clothes that day, I would have never seen this Y&R episode, for Jaime Lyn Bauer was back the next day. Wesley Pfenning played one of the many Alice Frames on Another Wirld. Lorie Brooks was also temporarily played by Lezlie Dalton in 1976. Lezlie Dalton went on to play Elizabeth Spaulding on Guiding Light. Victoria Thompson played Lorie Brooks temporarily around 1977-1978. Victoria Thompson went on to play one of the Janice Frames on Another World.
