Katherine begs Phillip not to leave her for Jill

[travis082185]

i was born 10 years after this episode aired

[MrAlbertSquared]

LOL @ 3:56. Praying to get him back!!!! This is real COMEDY!!!!!!

[Messylin]

Katherine Chancellor is a treacherous, murdering bitch. Jill loved this man so much and Katherine the inebriated gargoyle couldn't stand that, so she killed him herself.

[TimsDale4ever]

THIS is the difference in daytime drama now. Actresses/characters like Katherine who were upfront in the show (and weren't 18) and could act their asses off. Now the shows are filled to the brim with idiot characters like Chloe, Angelina, Sharon, Victoria, etc., who (for whatever reason to me) all sound, look, and act like the SAME character. ???? AND seedm to basically have the same storyline.

[TimsDale4ever]

Back to a time when this show was actually great to watch.

[Showinbulge]

Phillip was so damn HANDSOME !!!

[311butterscotch]

wow...i was 1 day old when this episode aired...thanks for posting...

[myfathersprincess]

You know you got some good shit when you tell someone you leaving them and they start praying for you to stay!

[myfathersprincess]

Ms Chancellor even sounds different. Get well Jeanne!

[eric9590]

Jeanne Cooper was 47 yo in this clip. This was during an era when people looked their age and did not indulge in all the crazy over the top botox, plastic surgeries. Think about it, she was around the same age that Michelle Stafford (Phyliss), Tracy Bregman(Lauren) and Eileen Davidson (Ashley) are now.

[Sulla2300]

Why is Kay wearing that white dress with a cross? It looks like something someone would be burried in;

[snoops71]

I wish someone had the scene when Katherine drove off the cliff, with Phillip in the car. I don't remember it at the time, but it is very dramatic!

[JAldridge86]

@snoops71 As I mentioned in a post below, the lead-up to it was seen in a flashback a few years ago, look up "Y&R Kay and Amber January 30 Part 1".

[snoops71]

@JAldridge86 Ohh, Ok.. I sure will! Didn't see that below. Thanks :)

[daved1974]

@snoops71 well hey when you find it please let me know because i would like to see that scene too

[snoops71]

@daved1974 I found it on the video JAldridge86 mentioned above. It was some real, deep drama!

[Bluebirdsims]

@snoops71 I have the scene, it was seen as a flashback in 2008

[sonyab1974]

Wow this is heartbreaking! :'( Poor Kay! Aww come on Phillip! Give her another chance. :(

[laminage]

@sonyab1974 He couldn 't deal with her drinking and her bad behavior. If he stayed with her he would have been a co-dependant which would have been much worse for him. He didn't love her anymore and he tried to make it work but it was too much for him. She should have won a Daytime Emmy but i don't think they gave them out until around 1974. She is a recovering Alcoholic in real life as is Jess Walton (Jill #3)

[vrj40]

Bravo Jeanne Cooper!!!

OUTSTANDING ACTING!

[sonyab1974]

@vrj40 Yeah fantastic outstanding acting! WOW! :) And she is shaking at the end while she is hugging him.

[Suspiria10]

How sad for Kay to beg her husband to stay. It makes me cry.

[Soulthinker2007]

It brings a lot of memories and I remember the scene when Katherine drives Philip off the cliff.

[DiscoVinyl]

Brenda Dickson was my favorite soap actress of all time.

[SuperJimmyValentine]

Wow, Katherine wasn't always so strong! She kind of is pathetic here....I like that she has grown over the years.

[Rosannasfriend]

@SuperJimmyValentine well, she was just coming out of her alcolism. I can see why she'd be vulnerable.

[indigothecat]

So really, Jill is not evil. The late Phillip was the scumbag who left a woman in her declining years for a younger woman.

Why does it always happen that when the man does something cruddy, it's the women who get blamed?

[enaysha]

Im glad Jeanne Cooper stuck with this character all these years and is still going strong and looking even better :)

[travis082185]

i can't get enough of these old clips. this is when the show was based on characters and not plot

[travis082185]

i can't get enough of these old clips

[hjbit]

jesus, she was never young. she looked 85....35 years ago.

[tigerboyX]

She sounds alot diffrent now. Just think the actors who play Billy, Chole and Kevin were'nt even born yet. The actress that playes Victoria was just born when this show aired

[Angiebug9]

what a beautiful woman Kay was wow

[mochagelatocreme23]

her breath hahahaha

[YoungandRestlessboy]

Poor Katherine Chancellor. The woman hated Jill, and their rivalry lasted from 1975-2003, and then flared again in late 2009. That is like 28 years!

[gwennwittig]

classic..simply classic..this is one of many reasons why Jeanne Cooper IS the ultimate daytime DIVA

[vrj40]

Jeanne Cooper is a brilliant actress!

[80sOLTL]

Back when soaps had story arcs and characters grew. Kay would nt be where she is today had this not happened. Now characters stay weak and pathetic.

[Bluebirdsims]

@80sOLTL Ain't that the truth, especially Y&R's characters these days

[imachildofthe80s8089]

Look how much of a pathetic shell she was here, and then look at how far she's come? She was too little too damn late here. And you can see some of Jill in both the new/old Katherine. Yes she was already looking pretty damn old by now...some people who haven't watched in years believe she's already dead(81 for sure, but 46 here) and before her face lifts. Not to mention, she was a real life alcoholic and they incorporated that into the show.

[80sOLTL]

I know, Katherine is kick ass these days. One of my favorite soap opera characters and she is 80!

[imachildofthe80s8089]

Holy cow! The same damn couch) same damn set, maybe? CBS really needs to spend some money for the Y@R set when it comes to the finest homes: the Abbott mansion, the Newman ranch, and Chancellor estate!

[Simon5005]

GOOD LORD............she was old 35 years ago! And this guy certainly made the rounds..........all the way from Marcus Welby to Golden Girls!

[rob34gwd]

@Simon5005

She was -- what -- 45 or 46 years old here, but looked practically 60. Her voice, her hair, her clothes, and her aging face made her seem so much older than her real chronological age. She got old fast! Now that she's in her early 80s and seems somewhat young for her age.

[Simon5005]

@rob34gwd  Are there any postings of Katherine in the famous veil episodes?

[TimsDale4ever]

@Simon5005 I think you are thinking about Vanessa -- Lance's mother. She wore the veils, not Katherine.

[TheYoung450]

Katherine Chancellor looks diffrently in March 1975 then in January 1986.

[JAldridge86]

She had a facelift in 1984 I believe.

[barbidoll0]

@JAldridge86 yes she did as did the jeanne cooper. therefore it was televised.

[pabc]

These were the best days of soaps!

[holden76]

This is when soaps were soaps.

[Suspiria10]

@holden76 Soaps today are not as good as they were then. Y&R is horrible now.

[daved1974]

dose the scene exists to where katherine drives philip off a cliff

[JAldridge86]

The lead-up to it was seen in a flashback a couple years ago, look up "Y&R Kay and Amber January 30 Part 1".

[Messylin]

It's so hilarious how she starts praying to get his affections back! So pathetically desperate and outrageously funny! Jeanne Cooper is a legend and has carried this show like a trouper. "For the LOVE of... of HEAVEN!"

[imachildofthe80s8089]

yeah something tells me she was never one of the religious types. And wouldn't of thought to pray had Brock not have been a minister. And the annual christmas church shows where she attends with everyone else, that ain't enough. She was pathetic and manipulative and like Phillip points out here many of times(but still can't get through that old head of hers today was that their marriage had been dead in the water for years, BEFORE Jill) No sympathy votes for Kay on my behalf, but JC is great!

[MrsBobbyJamesEwing]

Great video clip.

[scottyfilmbuff]

Such a beaautifully done scene and so heart wrenching.

[MrsBobbyJamesEwing]

scottyfilmbuff, I agree that this is a beautifully done scene and it is sooo heart wrenching.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

But she should've saw it coming. Katherine was her own worst enemy.

[pytko3]

Sometimes I wonder how Phillip II and Victor would have gotten along. When Victor first came to Genoa City, Phillip II had been dead for 5 years.

[imachildofthe80s8089]

Yeah them two seemed a lot alike. Actually I think the idea to bring VN on was for a "male counterpart" to Katherine, evil and competitive and using wealth and power to get what they want. Victor was brought in to replace Derek as head of Chancellor Industries, here he is 30 years later.

[KrazyKatLady63]

I love these classic clips. Thanks for posting.
