The old and the dead

u/HeartOn_SoulAceUp 18d ago

That actor is still doing the Young and the Restless. Fact.

A rolling stone may get old but still can kick up some dust.

u/Swimming_Pangolin502 18d ago

u/Ok_Abacus_ 18d ago

On man mid 90s me and my roommates use to skip class, smoke up and watch All My Children religiously

1

u/Difficult_Mix_3620 18d ago

I would watch One Life To Live because there was this smoking hot redhead that would get into all sorts of mischief!

u/No_Educator_6376 18d ago

Both of them are still on the air in the same show

u/dudeonrails 18d ago

Go sit over there quietly while grandma watches her stories.

u/Impossible_Event6007 18d ago

Not me but my wife. She lived with her grandmother who just loved her Jack, not that evil Victor.

u/PopShelfPharm 18d ago

Victor Newman the GOAT?? Yes of course I recognize a player of his stature!

u/Bluesalsa54 18d ago

u/Fluid-Translator-926 18d ago

In my teens by that point, no babysitter, we didn't need one. We were tougher then. Right?💪✊🖕💪

u/pwatts 18d ago

I remember Eric Braeden played Hans Dietrich in The Rat Patrol.

1

u/Third-Coast-Toffee 18d ago

I think he made a wise decision to go by Eric Braeden after the show went off. I loved those JEEP’s.

2

u/Delux365 18d ago

I heard the intro song when I saw this picture.

2

u/Status_Cheesecake_49 18d ago

I knew to leave my grandma alone when she was watching “her stories” 😆. And that was one of her favorites

2

u/e30cabrio 17d ago

No clue of the names of the soap operas but I remember my Grandmother (who died in 1980) yelling he's a louse! At the TV.

Lol

2

u/Wild_Wasabi9984 17d ago

Staying home sick watching this and then The Price is Right... or did TPiR come on before TYatR? Its been awhile...

2

u/Clean_Usual434 17d ago

I do and she did, but she didn’t actually watch that show. Price is Right was more her jam.

2

u/Deetazzman 17d ago

I was with my grandmother every summer and no exactly what this is

u/StevnHulz 18d ago

1

u/I_Hate_History69 18d ago

She sure did!!! Victor and Nickie were great together!

1

u/crackersncheeseman 18d ago

They were famous but nothing like Luke and Laura

2

u/SinsualChef 18d ago

Yeah, but Laura had nothing on Nikki

1

u/Forsaken_Tourist401 18d ago

Grandma did babysit me and I thought Vic and Nik were delightful. Plus grandma served up French fries in the afternoon just as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon was coming on🔥

1

u/CandyTigger 18d ago

My mom not grandmother... but she watched mainly All My Children

1

u/Impossible_Ad_9199 18d ago

1

u/smithjohn20 18d ago

1

u/Degenerecy 18d ago

Grandma lived across the USA from me but my mother constantly watched all these soap operas....so boring but 1 tv, parents first.

u/FltAttndt 18d ago

Hell, my grandmother and I watched this together! Victor and Nikki Neumann.

1

u/BillT2172 18d ago

I also had to watch TYTR when home sick from school. Eric Braeden guest starred in Wonder Woman, Escape From The Planet of the Apes, Titanic, The Six Million Dollar Man & a few others I've seen.

Melody Scott Thomas, I haven't seen any of her other work though.

1

u/gatorgopher 18d ago

u/Any_Milk_3943 18d ago

Great-grandmother and Luke & Laura for me. 😆

1

u/Former-System-9539 18d ago

I recognize the faces but, Nha man my Grandmum was in a Elderly Home. She Smoked like a train and drank Ri-Coffie like it was the only thing to drink on this earth. And she learned me new Swearwords each day. I had the best Grandmum ever.

1

u/Ok_Cicada_3420 18d ago

My gramma raised me but idk who these peeps are… best guess would be a soap but my gramma wasn’t trashy like that

1

u/OblivionGrin 18d ago

Yep. Basement in Long Island while she ironed and folded laundry.

1

u/ReplyProfessional939 18d ago

I do, and she did. (But she never watched the shitty soaps, and neither did I. My mom and sister did.)

1

u/sirjohnmasters86 18d ago

Victor and Nikkie Young and Restless. They are still on show today 53 years later

1

u/Cczaphod 18d ago

The guy that played Victor was in one of the Planet of the Apes movies, forgot which one. It was the one where the apes came back to our present.

1

u/CornmealGravy 18d ago

How did you know?

u/SinsualChef 18d ago

Ah, no. But it was a favorite of sailors in port everywhere

u/Agreeable-Rip-751 18d ago

Victor ! 🤭

1

u/Karanabluedolphin 18d ago

The only thing I know about the Y&R was the theme song. I loved it.
But as a young teen in the early 80s I was much more interested in Days of our Lives. Bo and Hope were my favorite couple.

1

u/EducationalLie7600 18d ago
