Classic Episode for Monday, May 4 (US) .. Friday May 1 (Canada).

Episode #2194 October 1981:

Yes it's Episode 2194 from October 1981.
But that description is not a single episode. Those things happened over several days or a couple of weeks during October 1981. I would say that's a good summary of the time period surrounding episode 2194. But I have not yet seen a specific description of the single episode.

I wish we knew the exact original airdate of 2194. That would pin things down. There are a few Y&R numbered episodes from Autumn 1991 listed on various sites (with no guarantee of accuracy). By looking at when other numbered episodes supposedly aired, then it can be extrapolated that 2194 aired in October.

October 31, 1981 per some articles on soap sites.

Vanessa Prentiss was one evil mommy!


What she did 2 her son Luca was horrible!


I still LOVE what Lori Brooks did 2 TGVN when she was slated 2 marry him!

She requested Prentiss Industries from TGVN & when she had it...then she jilted him by climbing out the bathroom window.


She was wearing her beautiful white wedding dress!

I LOVED how SHE got the best of TGVN!

I remember the name Vanessa Prentiss I think. Was she the character who wore a veil? Or am I thinking of some other soap?

I hope this episode is the strip club one. Only heard about it and would love to see it. I watched Y&R quite a bit back in the Brook family days. Think the soaps in my area changed when they aired and I’m thinking I had to chose which to record on my VCR. Definitely would have been working back then.

So they are probably doing a EB(Victor) week ? Or Victor/Nikki relationship?

[Rubythroat1]

Great! That is one episode I always wanted to see! Nicki at the Bayou in her Feather Boa ! Whohoo !

[fracabell]

so must be a nikki week? if so, I hope we get days of nikki and some of her other relationships, as I loved nikki and jack too. and kind of liked nikki and brad.

I believe the original shows were 30 minutes. If they're going back to 1981, will probably have to combine two episodes into one.

[soapgirl9]

According to Wikipedia, the show switched to an hour on February 4, 1980

This is wonderful! Can't wait!

Would love to see Victor and Nikki's episode (I've seen it somewhere online, but it was not clear) so looking forward to seeing it clearer and on TV screen.

[LisaM1983]

I'm fairly certain I saw this episode when it aired. I do remember Katherine's "party".

Everyone looked really great. Phyllis continues to be pathetic but MS is beautiful and looks the same today. I think this was Lauren's best hairstyle. If I recall correctly, this was still when everyone believed that Jill was Kay's daughter (?). Ashley Bashioum is still the best Mackenzie.
