This is a newer clip but it has so many that were on the show for a long time who's characters and in some cases the actors too have passed away. It doesn't seem like there are as many Y&R clips on YT as there were a couple years ago so there's not a lot to choose from. There's some Brad Carlton in this one too though. :$

Thanks for the clip, Miss Rhi.
FYI the youtube channel mis-labled the year in its description.
That clip is from Christmas 2003 (not 2005).

Great clip. You're right, so many characters have passed away ...
Colleen Carlton, Brad Carlton, Katherine Chancellor, John Abbot, Cassie Newman, Drucilla Winters.

And missing nowadays but still alive: Gina, JT, Mamie, Miguel.

And changes ... this is back when everyone believed Katherine and Jill were mother and daughter.

Same here. Danny was kind of "ehh", the same way I feel about Ben. No charisma. What happened to Victors friend... Colonel Austin I believe his name was, did he pass away?

From soapoperadigest.com:
Michael Evans, who portrayed Victor's affable sidekick, Colonel Douglas Austin,
on Y&R (1980-85; 1987-95) died on September 4 at the age of 87.
source:
http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/single/?p=31798&t=235563

Col. Douglas Austin was last seen in Genoa City in the year 1995.

On the episode of December 23rd, 2011, it was revealed that Douglas had died
... in that Nikki Newman's guardian angel told Nikki that she had been sent by Douglas and John Abbott.
Note: Douglas doesn't appear as an angel. A female angel appears and says she was sent by Douglas Austin and John Abbott -- implying they are both existing in the hereafter.
Here is a recap of the "Nikki's guardian angel" episode:

Here are two great write-ups of the actor's life -- he did lots of stage and film work. Quite impressive.

Aw gawd, there was nothing more sickening and eye roll inducing than Danny's attemp at singing, especially when it was aimed at Cricket. I hated that cloyingly sweet pairing.

Today's show:
(the epsisode for Wed Dec 3rd in USA -- or Tues Dec 2nd Canadian)

The recaps didn't give Michael's scenes much emphasis ...

Ipon viewing the episode, I was deeply moved by his scenes.

Mikey getting news he has Stage Three cancer. Wanting to not tell family until after holidays, Doctor telling him he needs to start treatment sooner. Mikey dreading treatment, and dreading side effects.

And also the Phyllis and Mikey platonic best friends scenes in the park. Arms around each other like siblings.

Phyllis and Michael are at the park by the plaque honoring Katherine Chancellor. Phyllis says Jack told her that Katherine passed away while Phyllis was in the coma. Michael tells her how he thinks of Katherine every day. (You can tell Michael is also contemplating life and death - but he doesn't tell Phyllis that).

Phyllis tells Michael that Jack told her he dated someone while Phyllis was in a coma yet Jack didn't tell Phyllis who the lady was.
(Which is true -- Jack *did* say exactly that a couple of weeks ago to Phyllis.)

But Phyllis *doesn't* tell Michael that she actually knows it wasn't just 'dating' ... but rather a seriously intense relationship with i.love.yous. -- and Phyllis doesn't tell Michael that she knows the woman was Kelly.

Yet Michael lets Phyllis know that he can read her ... and he *knows* that Phyllis is jealous of the mysterious 'other woman', and harboring feelings of resentment/anger. (Yet Michael doesn't tell Phyllis the woman was Kelly because he figures that's for Jack to say).

Phyllis is getting more annoyed that *nobody* will tell her about Kelly. But she doesn't say that. But Michael can tell she is seething.

Michael is saying to Phyllis: You have a life ahead of you, why not enjoy your time with Jack, instead of wasting your time/energy on being angry/jealous?

Michael is clearly contemplating his prostate cancer and his fears about dying ... and/or his fears about losing quality of life due to the side effects of the treatments. Yet he doesn't tell Phyllis any of this. Nobody knows except the doctors. (Kevin knows there is cancer but doesn't know it's at Stage Three).

Phyllis picks up on Michael's tension but doesn't know what it's about. She asks why he's making serious remarks such as "live life fully because you don't know how long you have". Phyllis tells Michael that he is young and has a long happy life ahead of him.

So Phyllis and Michael each briefly sense something off about the other, but then they each disregard what they sensed -- because in both cases, the other person said everything is fine.

So then they just sit quietly on the park bench with their arms around each other, near Katherine Chancellor's memorial plaque, quietly, in friendship. Nice scene.

I always loved the friendship between Michael and Phyllis. It's slightly different energy with Gina T instead of Michelle S. Yet, Gina T. still does an awesome job.

I FF most Michael scenes, recently more than normal. However, I did enjoy his interaction with Phyllis today and watched it in its entirety.

Stage 3 sounds like they're going to kill him off.

It looks like Gwen is going to be a little problem for Hillary.
I bet Devon starts dating her and they end up being lovers, no doubt hillary will catch them. lol
I liked the actress, she was very good in the short time we saw her. Looking forward to the hoopla to follow. It looked like Hillary was already jealous.

Didn't Charles Pratt, Jr.'s stuff just start airing not even a month ago?

I can't imagine TPTB coming to their senses and rescuing us before he completely destroyed this show like he did All My Children in early 2009.

No.
JFP is staying.
Pratt was supposedly hired a while back.
But he didn't start officially at Y&R until November 10th.
His scripts begin will begin airing in early 2015.
