Katherine was behaving recklessly with her drinking and smoking and it repelled Phillip away from her. Jill(who was working as Katherine’s personal beauticion at the time) got drawn to Phillip and he was drawn to her. They ended up spending one night together and realized that they loved each other. Phillip also found out that he had gotten Jill pregnant and wanted to speed up the divorce so he and Jill could marry immediately and raise their child, but Phillip died in a car crash.
I wonder if he is still living? It would be great if he came back from the dead. ;)
they fought because katherine was a drunk and she hired jill from the beauty shop to be her social secretary and phillip came on to her. katherine caught them in the pool house having sex, jill got pregnant and on his deathbed he married jill left jill money to be taken care but kay of, but kay took her to court and won and left jill with no money and that is why they fight all the time.
was she in this role good enough to name this clip “classic moments”? i ask, cause i do not know how is to be a good actress and actor both in science art of film…
granted though jeanne’s emmy was more notable than adrienne’s. jeanne’s was lead actress and adrienne was younger actress. let’s face it, in a category where only the younger actresses are included it’s not that hard for any of them to emerge a winner. the bar is not set that high.
@NFitalianGuy more lilke thirty years or more later!!!!!
The Phillip Chancellor wasn’t on the show that long but even to this day he is mentioned. It’s unbelievable how a short stint on the show still is remembered. I am shocked they never brought him back in Soap Opera style of having him in the hospital in a “COMA”.. I used to watch this yrs ago and started up again. It’s remarkable that you can stop watching and 20+ yrs later tune in an still see and hear about the same characters.
Katherine hasn’t change in more than 35 years!
It took Jeanne Copper 30 years for a Emmy, while some Amber gets it in 8 months.
i never watched ynr til 1990. Thankyou so much for posting this. I actually get to see Phillip and now I know why katherine and Jill always fought over the estate. I can identify when my man left me i was like this designer clothes a beautiful home and a bottle of vodka. Ah men as Margo Channing would say lol.
Exactly, not to mention the show was only a half-hour at this point.
Agreed.
This episode is from May 1975.
LOL!!! Kay is like the Absinthe Fairy at the end of this clip!
awesome. jeanne cooper is such a legend
Can anyone put a year to this clip? 1975? 1976?
I didn’t watch Y&R this quite this early in the series because Grandma didn’t watch it & made me nap during this time. I came in just a little afterwards in the series. I don’t remember ever having seen the senior Phillip Chancelor. He reminds me a bit of a refined Harvey Korman. Maybe it’s the hair and facial hair styles the men in Hollywood wore back then.
I LOVE Katherine’s outfit.
No one in particular. What I meant was here’s Cooper (an OBVIOUS talent) and it takes 33 years to receive the emmy. Then some boring character like Amber, or Jana, or Chloe is on the show for 8 months and their first year they’re handed an emmy in the “younger female” category, or the “best supporting actress” category. I’ve seen it happen on other shows. There’s nothing wrong with the acting with those 3, but when you compare them to someone like Cooper, something’s wrong with the system!
@TimsDale4ever
who are you referring too as being some 18 year old model getting an Emmy their first year?
He got sick of her drinking adelgado75 as far as I know and he fell in love with Jill. I could be wrong but that’s my theory. I was Seven when Y & R came on the air, I didn’t watch Soaps then.
I DON’T WANT TO TALK!!!
Yeah, I agree with you on this TimsDale4ever.
With the great Bill Bell gone, both Y&R and B&B are NOT (don’t let me get started on the HORRIBLE writing now and how they SCREWED-UP both shows history!!) the same anymore. In my opinion, Y&R and B&B ( I hate to put it this way) died when Mr. Bell did. I mean lets be honest here, it was the end of an era indeed with his passing. Bill Bell’s magic touch, masterful storytelling is just not there anymore and is deeply missed today sad to say.
Flash forward to 2003 when Kay realizes that Jill’s her daughter. Charlotte’s left the house and Kay’s standing in the classic Chancellor living room mumbling to herself, “Oh please God, don’t let it be Jill. Anybody but Jill. Nooooot Jill”, before she has her stroke. Mindblowing!! And it’s STILL 5 years later before they give her an emmy…. But then some 18 year old model arrives on the show with all of 3 hours of screen time, and they hand her an emmy the first year. I don’t get it.
Notice how long this scene is. This made the shows so much better and more dramatic back then. The shows today are all so hacked together with 15 second scenes (?). Sorry Phyllis, Sharon, Nick, Cloe, Billy, Amber, Kevin and all you other mindless twit characters that drown this show today: you couldn’t pull this kind of scene off. And to think that Cooper wasn’t given an emmy with scences like this under her belt until 33 years later. What an embarrassment to that industry.
You’re right gun15509. Her name was Suzanne Lynch and it was one of the show’s best stories. She devised a plan with Derek (husband) to drive Kay crazy, and after they were married HE would have Kay’s estate and Kay would be in an institution. It almost worked, but Kay caught on, quit taking the meds Suzanne was feeding her, and then the hospital burned down. They assumed she died in the fire, but Kay went back home and turned the same wheels back on Suzanne. Hilarious!
