[CarmineDude]

[khela2065]

i adore victoria mallory as leslie brooks... love her singing voice as well ...

[dontremovemycomments]

wat the hell look at Nikki's mouth its tiny.

[Bluebirdsims]

Although I wasn't born until 86' and didn't begin fully watching Y&R until 1997 (when I had the chance), I've had the chance to see classics of Y&R from back in the day (thanks to CBS and Youtube) and I liked the original families of Y&R. I've also had the chance to read old storylines between 1976-1982 and what I didn't like was the Lorie/Leslie/Lance/Lucas 4-some.

[Bluebirdsims]

The fact of the story between the 4-some running so long where it was Lance and Lorie with Leslie and Lucas and then the couples constantly switched up.

[MrJuly1990ish]

@Bluebirdsims

"what I didn't like was the Lorie/Leslie/Lance/Lucas 4-some."

To be honest, those characters had some of the best storylines and plot twist during their run on the show. The period that you sited (1976-1982) was when the show really started to become even more popular. The whole 90's decade was the best years (IMO) for Y&R. The show today is a damn disgrace to Bil Bell's legacy.

Whoever is writing the BS for this show now, has ruined it big time.

[kd4adv]

Used to watch this when "original" Jack Abbott got shot.

Didn't like the replacement too much.

[ernmitch1968]

This is the year of the Y&R overall. All the other Abbotts (Jack was first) were introduced and soon the Brooks and Prentiss clans were done while Jill was the only Foster left; within a few years Paul was the only remaining Williams.

[TheYoung450]

Good that they god rid of the Fosters!

[TheYoung450]

Why mark my comment bad? I'm glad the Fosters have been removed.

[freeek04]

as long as Jill's still part of the show, the Fosters are still there ;)

[entertainme3000]

@TheYoung450 well not all characters on the show have to be wealthy to be interesting. Victor does stink up the show quite a bit himself.

[AstralPixie]

Wow -- these were good times for the show.

Great cast!

[LadySierraSays]

Yep I was watching it then too , wow look at Victor and look at Victor now !!!! this was the year I actually started watching it for the first time a Lady friend I had as a neighbor at the time go me hooked on Y&R I still watch it today best Soap ever !!!

[bluejayforever2006]

VICTOR is scary looking!

[sethypoo2000]

cool

[seikogoldwatch2009]

Nikki's sister's name is Casey, not Cassie. Tool.

[gun15509]

OK, it's Casey! Happy now? NEWS FLASH TO YOU: My name is not "Tool," now how would you feel if I called you a tool, know it all jackass? Let's not go there seikogoldwatch2009, show some respect.

[seikogoldwatch2009]

Am I happy? I always was, but not because of a nitwit like you. You're still a tool.

[JessyJessy26]

0:27 its Victor and Nikki is with him!

those were the only cast members that i recognized

[Aamigo19126]

I think this opening was used during the 1981-1982 season.

[SoapsGoldenAge]

The second Leslie and Chris were fine, esp Leslie. But the I can remember the first time I saw this promo--for a second the pic of Jamie Lynn Bauer (Laurie) looked like Janice Lynde (Leslie 1). Then when it panned to LEslie 2, I realized it couldn't be. Was so excited to have the original Leslie back--lol. STILL think Jamie looks like Janice in that pic.

[SHAUNERDANIEL]

Whos the lady on the side of Jamie Lynn Bauer...

[justlikeitsounds]

yes it was. this was around the time they first met. they'd both been in the series for two or three years by this stage, but had very separate story lines and never "met". nikki was a stripper at this point.

[japstoryeditor]

Hey, was that Victor and Nikki towards the end?

[LeanaJo76]

How long was Lucas Prentiss (played by Tom Ligon) on the show? Is there any episodes that you can show that have him in it??

[Bluebirdsims]

Tom Ligon (Lucas Prentiss) was on Y&R from 1978-1982. I don't have any episodes of Y&R from his run, just the opening credits.

[PsWii60pwns]

i like the year 1982 it brought about an import event lol

[StevenCarrington]

I always preferred the first Leslie and Christine Brooks to the ones in this intro.

[Bluebirdsims]

Chris' name was Christabel not Christine. I know this through my research of the show, but I wasn't born until the Fosters and Brooks were long gone as I was born in 1986.

[StevenCarrington]

Oh my gosh you're right.

All these years,even when I watched it in the 70's,I thought it was short for Christine.

No one ever called her Christabel.Thanx.

I preferred the first Christabel Brooks.

Nothing against the replacements who were lovely too.

[yandrsupreme]

I have a short clip from Chris and Snapper's wedding, and the minister calls her "Christen", not Christabel.

[meelapinni]

@yandrsupreme - when will you be able to upload it to your site? i checked out your uploads and didnt see it there...thanks

[GodCreatesGays2]

@Bluebirdsims, actually, Chris' name was neither Christabel nor Christine. It was Christen. I have the episode where she marries Snapper in 1974, and "Christen" was definitely the name used by the minister. "Christen" is also in the show's original bible, as written by series creator William J. Bell. :)

[4starcashier]

Is it me or did Victor ALWAYS look like he was in his 60s?

[entertainme3000]

@4starcashier Yeah Victor's always looked ancient. An old fart?

[entertainme3000]

@4starcashier I meant he's always looked like an old fart!

[RonzyTinutza]

btw i forgot to ask

is it ever going to end?

not that i don't like it ^^;

just curious XD

[Bluebirdsims]

If you're asking if one day the show will go off the air?

Well, one day all the soaps will go off the air, but not anytime soon for Y&R.

[Joeeey1]

Was Mrs. Prentiss ever in an Opening?

[Bluebirdsims]

I wouldn't know because I wasn't born when the Prentiss family was in the picture.

[familyfeudfan95]

i don't think so. vanessa prentiss died in 1981, and there is a promo set in november 1981 where lucas prentiss blames lorie brooks for the death of his mother.

[gun15509]

No, Vannessa Prentiss was only featured in the closing credits of the show from 1980-1982, with Cassie Reed (Nikki's older sister), April Stevens (Paul's girlfriend at the time) & Nikki herself.

[RonzyTinutza]

omg my parents weren't even maryed in 82 O_o

im soo young!!! :D

[enique1103]

lord...this is old. Good clip though!

[nightowlchad]

Omg bring me back to the days when I use watch the show with the opening. I miss the Brooks sisters and the Prentiss brothers.

[keirra69]

OMG I feel 4 again!

[Tweetie47]

Absolutely awesome!

[Bluebirdsims]

I only have the opening from these days, sorry.

[Tweetie47]

I'll send some. I hope you'll enjoy them!

[Pennymm]

This was made the year I was born which was 1982 lol!!

[lovelygirl82]

That's the same year I was born!

[kokujin1014]

But I have something you probably do not have.The extensive closing credits of Young and the Restless.

[Bluebirdsims]

I've seen this season end credits on the WoST website.

[justinplank]

post it

[Bluebirdsims]

I don't have it, I've only seen it.

[yandrfan4ever]

Do you have the full episodes of these clips? You should post clips of them if you have them.Especially of deborah Adair(Jill).

[Bluebirdsims]

I don't see how I couldn't realize that was Snapper. Thank You

[RBSFT]

? & ? are Snapper (David Haselhoff) and Chris (the second actress to play the role)

[dawgdeboy]

This is a great one! Would love to see all the earlier opens too. That's Paul's folks, Carl and Mary Williams, unidentified in the credits.

[Bluebirdsims]

The World of Soap Themes website has more of them.

[tsntana]

Thanks. I'll check them out. :)

[chad7777777777]

WoST is no longer accepting new members. Current members will be given the opportunity to renew their memberships upon expiration and will be able to lock in membership through the site's scheduled end date of August 31, 2009...

[tsntana]

I've been looking ALL over for someone who might have these. These are the stories my mother watched. Never thought I'd see these again.

Thank you so much for putting these up.

[Tweetie47]

NO Problemo!
