"The Young and the Restless" at 50: The drama continues

The CBS Sunday morning segment that aired today on the 50th anniversary of The Young and the Restless includes this cast photo from (I think) 1982

with Julianna McCarthy in the center.  IIRC, her character was mom to Snapper, Greg and Jill on Y&R and of course Willie's auntie on DS.

If I missed any other DS alums in the cast pictures shown in the segment, please do tell.

Fandom has lost its sweetest and kindest, as darkshadowsrick passed away suddenly this weekend.  RIP my dear friend.

Kelly Hu has been busy. In addition to joining the cast as a cop for season 2 of 50 Cent's BMF on Starz, she was recently added to East New York in a recurring role as an "influential political policy adviser". On Sunday night I just happened to catch one of her scenes opposite Jimmy Smit's character and noticed good chemistry between them, though not so much in this photo:

There's another pre-DS appearance of Diana Millay this coming Monday on MeTV+, this time in an episode of 77 Sunset Strip from 1964.

If you have access to MeTV+, please note that the eps currently airing are in the show's 6th and final season when things got really weird.  All cast members were dropped save for Efrem Zimbalist Jr., and his office is completely different, yet the title of the show remains the same, which makes zero sense.  It also lost all its kookiness, not to mention Kookie (Edd Byrnes) himself.  The popular theme song is also gone.

"Alimony League" airs Monday, December 12 at 6 pm Pacific, 9 pm Eastern.  If the show is available for streaming anywhere, it's news to me.

If you have access to MeTV+, you can catch Diana Millay's 1961 appearance on the series Hawaiian Eye. "The Moon of Mindanao" will air Wednesday, Nov 2 (7 pm Pacific, 10 pm Eastern).

If you don't, the ep is archived online https://archive.org/details/hawaiian.-eye.-s-03/Hawaiian.Eye.S03E03+moon+of+mindanao+diana+millay+myron+healey+.avi

Enjoy!

He was a great gift in my life. I cherish my warm memories of his beautiful soul. I'm heartbroken."
