  • I love these old clips of Brenda Dickson.I had a lot of these clips recorded on video tape when I was younger but unfortunately they were damaged.If only we had dvd-r's back then

  • Wow, Katherine looked ancient even in 1986! How old is she now, 200? She's like the Energizer bunny, lol

  • kay was jealous of jill because she had beauty and youth. jill became hateful towards katharine because she envied her wealth and power. deep down both these women i believe truly loved each other. they were just too stubborn to admit their owen imperfections

  • i used to feel for kay chancellor when i heard about the kay-phillip-jill storyline. however, i changed my mind. katharine always blamed jill for the destruction of her marriage but the old bag never understood she was the she herself was the culprit! She was promiscuous (sleeping with her stableboys), and a miserable and hateful lush. I she truly cared about phillip as she had claimed she would've got help years before

  • I also loved this Jill.

  • No one can ever really replace the Original Jill Foster. She created the Role and played it the best way possible. Jess Walton is awesome but you cannot help feel something is missing when Katherine and the Jess Walton's Character Jill square off. It says a lot about Brenda Dickson's Portrayal of Jill. They had many yrs together and some great scenes that were the foundation of the Y&R as we know it. I miss the old Jill

  • Wow, Katherine looked older in 1976 than she does now

  • Catherine est mon actrice préférée, Madame la Baronne I LOVE YOU.

    KATE BARONNE I LOVE YOU

    Je regarde les Feux de L'Amour depuis 1987. KISS KISS KISS

  • WOW, does this bring back memories!. They sure need to keep these "old-school" clips alive.

  • Young Jill kind of looks like Lauren.

    This is so off topic but Katherine looked like the perfect Evil Stepmother from Cinderella :-)

  • Jill once tried to help Katherine, was her best friend and companion, but that damn Philip ruined it! If Jill did not fall in love with Philip, Jill and Kay would still be friends.

  • hey watch my videos

    cry me a river especially

    =]

  • Brenda Dickson will always be the biggest star of that show. People watched the show to see Brenda's excellent performance as Jill Foster Abbott.

  • I remember when and where I was when i use to watch this show. Good Job

  • I give complete control of this posting to Brenda Dickson

    Please don't remove as people are enjoying this breif glimpse into Y&Rs' past and removal will end the enjoyment for fans.

    Fans make stars

    Brenda Dickson was the best Jill

    I wish her all the best and like her millions of fans,can't wait to see her on our screens again doing nighttime...

  • We love her love her love her xx

    The best daytime actress eva!!

    A gay icon too

    A diva

  • anyone bother to find out why brenda is no longer, CBS IS THE EVIL EMPIRE, THEY CHEWED HER UP AND SPAT HER OUT, but the y&r is almost done, once it slips out of number 1, Paul Rausch will kill it proper like the GUILDING LIGHT, gone forever... bye bye y&r, it was gr8 73-88

  • Jess Walton is a good jill, but this Brenda Dickinson is kinda better.

  • bring BRENDA back!! she IS JILL!

  • Such a haunting scene...with the music, the scenery reminiscent of a mental institution (it was just Memorial Hospital--or whatever they call it in GC, wasn't it?), and the shot of Kay yelling at Jill "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS, JILL!" behind the swinging hospital doors. Great, yet haunting, scene!

  • Jill had beautiful moments with all the men she married and used

    The judge ruled that Kay was coeersed

  • Jill wasn't greedy back then. She was actually a young woman who had ambition-wanted more out of life. I really think she & Phillip had a beautiful romance. Kay was the greedy one. She said she didn't want the Chancellor Mansion during the divorce settlement & after Phillip's death she fought like tooth & nail to keep it from Jill.

  • Wow I love these old youtubes vids of Katherine. In everyone there is a close up of Katherine saying how shes going to get Jill or her screaming at Jill telling her how shes gonna pay. I love it!!! Shes much more stable in the years I have watch ynr.

  • I'm so glad Katharine has matured. She really was a very ill woman back then. She did indeed kill Phillip by driving off  that cliff whenn he rejected her offer of a reconciliation. I never understood why she was never prosecuted for this crime.

  • Jills greed for Phillips wealth led to all the events to Phillips death.

    Didn't Phillip grab the wheel off Katherine?

  • @Lookinland , no it was always drunken katherein, she came in , in 75, before that jill was a do good er,

  • this show has kept its identity over the years too bad i cant say the same for oltl.

  • Y&R is number one for a very good reason: It has remained true to its origin. And the fact that a mature characters are still front and center should give a hint to the shows that are struggling how they can salvage their shows.

  • the writers made a dumb mistake when they decided to make katherine and jill mother and daughter...but they still fight like enemies...

  • All I can say s Jean is awesome!!!

  • Bond Gideon was on after Dickson left the first time, before Adair... but she appeared only for a few weeks. Melinda Fee only played Jill for 3 or 4 eppies when Brenda was sick. And Dickson started out in 73 as a brunette, it was sometime in the summer of 74 that she went red (I remember the day it happened, my mother HATED it), and then back brunette again in 76. Dickson sported her natural color through her second stint in the 80's.

  • What a clip. Kay looks older in 1976 than she does now. I love Jess Walton but I can see why Brenda Dickson had so many fans.

  • @CarlD2 That is because she had a face lift in 1984 in real life and on the show.

  • It was funny how when Jill was nice she was a red head. Soon after Phillip died she became a brunette and turned into a vixen. It's like she became permanently bitter after Phillip's death.

  • haha yeah...I think brunette is her natural colour and the redhead stage may have been to emphasise her job as a beautician then :)

  • Was she the original Jill? And is Jeane Cooper the original Catherine?

  • Yes to both :-)

  • Oh ok I thought so lol. Thanks

  • Wow that certainly was vintage Y & R

  • yeah haha,and I can remember it when it was actually happening lol...(sigh) those were the days

  • Is there any other clips of this episode posted?

  • There are excerps of Katherine getting a gun,doing target practice and then Jill getting shot which was in a later episode.I'll put them in my favourites for people to view...

  • For me Y&R was at its best back in the early days.Like when Leslie the pianist brokedown on stage after jealous sister Lories manipulation.Leslies recovery hindered by Lories dirty book 'My sisters shadow'.Jill & Katherine arguing & dropping the baby.Lorie slamming Leslies hand before a concert.Jill celebrating Katherines death in bed with Kays husband Derek and Katherine walkin in on them.Jill shocked beyond belief...lol those were the days

  • Yeah I agree with you! My earliest memories were when the mother of Lance Prentice jumped out a high rise window to her death pretending Lori pushed her to get even with her for something,and Nikki Reed was being stalked by a psycho who watched her through binoculars.And I seem to remember Jill pretending to be pregnant by her own mothers boyfriend Stuart Brooks

  • Thats right yeah...wow.I'd forgotten bout some of that lol.I just remembered Stuart Brooks choking on a chicken bone or somethin and Jill just standing there.I wonder is it possible some one could hav those episodes?Maybe one of the Bells...

    I do like Jess Walton.When Brenda D left,Bold started so I gav up on Y&R cos Days and Bold was enough to watch for one day.

  • I haven't watched the show since Brenda Dickson left except when Jamie Lynn Bauer came back as Lorie Brooks in 02

  • Yeah I know what you mean,when Brenda Dickson left the show the Jill character has never been the same.

  • True...

    I actually remember a time when Jeanne Cooper,due to illness,was replaced for a short time.Yeah its not the same.

    I do like Jess Walton tho haha

  • Come to think of it I remember Jeanne Coopers replacement for a few days also.I remember she looked & sounded nothing like Jeanne.I also remember when Deborah Adair was hired back for 1 episode in 1996,and then again for a whole week later on while Brenda was off sick.I kind of hoped Deborah would have been her replacement instead of Jess since she played Jill when I first started watching Y&R.But I loved Brenda as well in the role.

  • What many people don't remember is that for a couple of days in 1989 I believe, that Judith Chapman (Now Gloria) filled in for Jess as Jill

  • Yes I read that on wikipedia Judith Chapman was a fill-in for Jess! and it's funny Judith's portrayal of Gloria does remind me a lot of the old schemer Jill once was

  • I read somewhere that another actress besides Brenda,Deborah,and Jess played Jill.I dont remember that at all,do you? I would like to see the footage if it was true.

  • uuum,Bond Gideon played Jill briefly before Deborah Adair I've been looking for pics of BG but can't find any yet.Also Judith Chapman who now plays Gloria replaced Jess Walton for a few days in the late 80's.

    I reacon if I ran a soap opera I wouldn't replace anyone.I'd write them out instead jus to make it more realistic...

  • see my reply above...it was Judith Chapman(Now Gloria) in 1989 when Jess was sick or something...

  • That's funny about Judith Chapman playing Jill I don't remember that but would like to see it.I was wrong about Deb Adair,she came back in 1986 for a week not 1996.That I remember because I had that whole week recorded on vhs.

  • I don't remember Judith playing her in 1989 but that would be funny to see.I do remember Deborah coming back as "Jill" in 1986 for 1 episode while Brenda was sick and then for a whole week.And a year later Brenda was let go and Jess was playing the role which really bugged me because I liked Deborah & Brenda way better.

  • Melinda Fee also filled in as Jill for a short time during the mid-80s when Brenda was out.

  • Holy shit! that's a lot of actresses playing Jill between Brenda and Deborah's stints.I don't remember Bond Gideon unless she was on first after Brenda left in 1980 befor Adair.I think I remember Judith Chapman on while Jess was sick but do not remember Melinda Fee in the mid 80's I only remember D.Adair was back for 6 episodes before they hired Jess

  • I looked up Melinda Fee out of curiosity and found a you tube clip of her.She played Jill briefly in 1984 which is odd since Brenda returned near the end of 1983.I wonder why Brenda was was off so quick after returning.

    Melinda reminded me of Brenda.Similar hair style and voice.She would have made a good replacement in 1987.

  • OMG I thought I was the only one who remembered cooper being temporarily replaced...I think it was Giselle Mackenzie or something like that. If you have ANY footage of that it would be GREAT to see

  • Actually umm,you might still be the only one charleybradley1979,cos I remember Katherine being replaced but in the 1970's.You must be recalling another time she was replaced to what I am :)

  • Cooper had someone fill-in for her in the 70s? wow I didn't then again that was before my time lol

  • I read somewhere that Bill Bell got tons of angry fan mail about Kay being replaced, and he swore she would never be recast, even temporarily, after that.

  • Where was Katherine in that flashback when Jill walked out on her--a sanitarium?

  • hi there,um Katherines in Genoa City Memorial Hospital recovering still from the car accident that killed Phillip.

  • Excellent! Good clip. Any more?

  • Thanx.

    Um,I got soo many tapes,I'm going through them but it'll take a while.I'm finding more Days than anything.But there are plenty of other people with Y&R stuff.Cheers

  • Man Katherine, been on that bottle every decade expect the 90s

  • Katherine also went off the wagon in 2004! there was one time in 99when she was going to drink but didn't! Kay also battled cancer as well!
