I misted up.

It was nice to ‘see’ Mrs. C at the end and I liked when they laid roses by her urn and spoke to her.

Also loved all the flashbacks. And Father Todd officiating.

I loved it, and understood the *point* of the wedding. However, I didn’t need to SEE it. I think having Paul merely proposing to the bug would have sufficed. Who cares if they get married or not? Lauralee Bell is never on the show.

It was VERY touching. I reached for the hankies several times til my tear ducts ran dry! I love that they respected the entire history of Katherine and Jill. The Hologram at the very end was reallllly touching!

jess Walton stranding ovation…..rest of the cast I thought were good,,,loved the clips ,,but im sorry the wedding,,just reminded me of why I stopped watching this show last year,,,this was not the time to celebrate a re birth as u put it,,it was a time for all involeved be a viewer or part of the young and the restless,it was time to say good by not I do

I don’t watch YR on a regular basis , But I watch MRS . C’s goodbye and I thought it was great . The great J Cooper would be honored . Daytime will miss J. cooper

I liked the Wedding, & I get it, but what is the point, cause we all kow she will never be on the show. I really want them to make Murphy more of a used character. Id love to see Mrs. C wishes be that Murphy come on & keep an eye on Jill.

I loved .. the music, into song sung by Danny, Katherine’s special opening credits, Jill & Father Todd’s speeches, Jill & Nikki’s conversations, the flashbacks ( wish there were more though), Delias invites ( except the fact that if was Nikki’s suggestion. What? Not Grandma Jill’s? Stuff like this makes me think the writers don’t even know the family trees) I would have rather had one day and just focused on this. Katherine & her loved ones. HATED, and did not understand why Mac and Philip were not there. They wouldn’t have been hard to get for one day and… Read more »

Supurb 2 episodes. Another highlight for me was the scene between Cricket and Nina, done with no dialog, when Nina offered herself to be Maid of Honor. That was 25+ years of BFF, and for me the emotional impact of that scene was great.

Loved the first day & loved the second day up until the wedding hijacked us out of having more time with our beloved “oldies” (Brock, Gina, etc.) reminiscing about the good old days.

And the park set is as phony looking as can be.

RIP Katherine Chancellor.
RIP Jeanne Cooper.

Perhaps Christines wedding was added to keep the Bells happy? MAB & her Highlight Hollwood pal are going to have a hard time criticizing YR if Lauralee is part of it. Supposedly she has a big story coming up. If JFP can keep the Bells happy there wont be any objection to placing
her favorite guy front & center.

The wedding did not belong in the good bye..
It was out of place..
I was shocked that the wedding was thrown into that beautiful moment meant for Jeanne Cooper/Katherine ..
The writers upstaging the moment with a stupid wedding for couple that is not even all that much, was really a dumbass thing to do ..

Outside of the wedding fax pas , Jeanne Cooper/Katherine’ s good bye, was very moving to tear drops ..

I’ve been watching since 1981 but haven’t tuned in any this week because I’m doing my best to avoid Chelsea and Dullan who are being shoved down our throats six days of the week.

As much as I loved Jeanne Cooper/Katherine Chancellor, I guess I didn’t love her enough to make it through another episode of the worst soap opera on the air (thanks, Jill Farren Phelps!)

I got the point of the wedding, however, I think the wedding itself took too much airtime that could have been better spend. I mean I could have done without the scene where the women all gave Christine the traditional things a bride should have a wedding. I thought it strange that Cane got more air time for his speech than Brock her son. There could be a lot more clips involving the two of them, assuming those shows still exist. I thought Esther would be more inclined to speak about the time Katherine help her deliver her baby rather… Read more »

I found that the best performances during the course of this storyline were given by Jess Walton, Doug Davidson, and Tricia Cast. Corbin Bernsen deserves major kudos for getting through the memorial episodes without breaking down. But for most of the rest of the cast, no matter how much I may like them or their characters, I was underwhelmed. Oddly enough, the most effecting scene of all was weeks ago when Jill went to tell Jack that Katherine had passed–Walton and Bergman said more with facial expressions and non-verbal cues than words ever could…

I wanted Katherine’s sendoff to be great, but her
thunder was stolen. If that producer and writers
go to DAYS, they’ll ruin that show too! It was
supposed to be Katherine’s day and no one else!!!
When somebody dies and they’re honored with a
sevice of any kind, everybody’s lives should be put
on hold out of respect. Y&R dropped the ball; a ball
they have not been catching!!!

I was bothered by Cricket and Paul marrying. Not because it intruded on Kay’s memorial but because Kay always knew Cricket belonged with DANNY.

Bravo to Jess Walton (Jill)! However, other posters are right: Thom Biertz (Philip), Mackenzie & Chance should have been there. And where were Gloria (Judith Chapman)? Dina Abbott Mergeron (Marla Adams)? Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland)?

Could have done without seeing Cricket OR the wedding. (Another contract character married to a noncontract character — these soap marriages rarely work.) Lauralee Bell is the only piece of the Bell legacy I DON’T miss. Doug Davidson (Paul) certainly deserves a more dynamic leading lady.

Michael always mentions Y&R being #1 when
introducing a story of that show. The problem
with that statemen is it is a half truth. Y&R is
#1 in the ratings, but dead last in entertainment!
Y&R is hurting the soaps. When people see Y&R
they think there is no sense in watching the others
because Y&R is #1 and crappy, which leads them
to believe the others are pissy and crappy!!!

I”ve just read through all the comments, so will not go over many of the similar points discussed. A few different observations I will make are concerning some of the behind the scenes crew efforts. First, the music chosen was really lovely including the special song which Michael Damian only was able to sing off the actual scene for a ‘sound check.’ The actual singing was not included. I felt that should have been put in the second day’s memorial hour and eliminate the sudden wedding which felt highly inappropriate. After all, Michael Damian’s presence on the show was really… Read more »

Many of the same feelings as others have posted. I think Trisha Cast is amazing and would rather it was Nina & Paul that married. I just don’t see any spark between Paul & Christine. Although, I wonder if Jill’s remark about Mackenzie isn’t a hint that the character will be returning to the show and they have not cast the part yet so rather than bring back a former actress they had her be absent. If they brought back both Mac & JT it might be the next conflict in Billy & Victoria’s marriage. We know that happy couples… Read more »

Other than the absurd wedding of two very back burnered characters it was great. Jess Walton was amazing and she and Melody Thomas Scott could make the next great “supercouple” since Jill and Katherine.

Beautiful episode!
Chris and Paul’s wedding was a surprise but beautiful!

Am I the only person who found it ridiculous that Sharon was not in attendance at the memorial? No matter what direction the writers are taking the character of Sharon she should have been there!
