I'm still working from home, so been catching most of the throwback episodes. The show today, I only recognized a handful of characters!! A very young Victor looked just like Snidely Whiplash, lol I don't think the character of Katherine Chancellor was even introduced yet.
Outside of enjoying the characters as their younger selves, it really takes me back when I hear some of those older musical scores throughout an episode. My first memories of Young and Restless were when I was home sick and couldn't go to school.
**Edited to add - Billy Miller He was always my favorite "Billy"! Glad to see others here agree!** I always thought Victor was peculiar looking, or maybe it was his personality, I never did like him Jack was my favourite, and remains my favourite today. Oh yes, Jack will always be a FAN FAV of so many!!! Did you watch him on AMC FannyMare before he came over to Y&R?

Victor was very skinny when he was younger, and it showed in his face. Almost gaunt. He actually looks better now that he's older and filled out a bit. Personality wise, he is the Great and Powerful Victor Newman. That overbearing disposition gets tiresome.
Jack has aged VERY well!

I am loving these old episodes! This is why I fell in love with the Y&R so many (many many huh) years ago! Love seeing Kay and the younger Nicki and Victor (sorry Victor haters hehehehe) I have to agree Billy Miller was my favorite Billy can we please have him back. Didn't care for the actress who portrayed Ashley today (sorry not sure of her name) I remember hoping Eileen Davidson would return. Anyhow, hope you are all doing well during the quarantine. Cheers from Canada

I remember everyone used to go to the "Athletic Club", lol. It was the hot, go-to place for awhile in Genoa City. There was also a club with a pool that I believe was at the top of Newman Tower. Haven't seen that one in awhile either.
Remember the Colonnade Room? That is another old throwback. When a tux and beautiful gown were required, the Colonnade Room was a step up from the Athletic Club.

Anyone watching Y&R today will see a very young DINA!!!
This was right around the time I started watching Y&R.
I had my two baby sons and was home and while they napped I watched Y&R and BOLD.
Nikki was married to Jack and while they did have a decent relationship ultimately it was her drinking that brought an end to that marriage.
Jill has been the same ANNOYING Jill even back then.
Today was the second time Traci married Brad. Brad was the Abbott family gardener. When the two fell in love, Brad went to work for John Abbott.

How did Jack go from today’s show to having an affair with Gloria not that long ago? 😮 Hi Gutmutter, I will not get today's Y&R as Y&R should be on now and it's the funeral of Mr. Floyd. I will check ON DEMAND or CBS.com.

I saw a new episode today, if you can call it that. It was a lot of recapping to remind us of the storylines before the break. The only thing that stood out to me was what looked like an obvious wig on Nikki! I barely recognized her!

Maybe she had to let the blonde go during shutdown. 😄 I forgot about Sharon’s cancer story since I turned it off on days that featured her. Yuck.

She was on ET and her hair was very blonde and she spoke about her neck lift. Maybe they are doing their own makeup etc. Sharon's looked terrible

😄 Are we ever going to see Lola again? I am curious about Bixby. Did Jack ever find out who his father was? SPOILER ON BIXBY! SPOILER on Bixby Gutmutter ... if you want to know. {Spoiler} In the Abbott living room, Jack fills Ashley in on Dina becoming upset and saying, Jack’s determined to find out what, or who, Bixley is and Ashley signs on to help him. Jack is about to get Dina’s memoirs when Ash finds a notepad with Bixley scrawled on it. Later, they’re still puzzled. Ash worries Bixley may be another long-lost sibling. Jack refuses to believe it. Traci arrives, gets in the loop, and wonders how they made the leap to a sibling. She realizes the ‘l’ is a lower case ‘b’. Dina was saying, “Bixby,” and Traci knows exactly what she’s talking about. It turns out the ‘bixby’ is the Bixomatic camera that recorded their childhood. Traci feels she may want to see their old movies.
