Blast from the Past – Have you had your soap break today?

Picture it.  CBS.  1995.  Back when the network cared about the people of color on its soaps.  Hell, back when the network cared about their soaps period.  Four men, Kristoff St. John (Neil Winters), Shemar Moore (Malcolm Winters), Don Diamont (Brad Carlton), and J. Eddie Peck (Cole Howard), got together for a little b-ball, and a photo shoot.  There was awful 90s fashion, awful 90s hair, cheesy dialogue of the men reminiscing about their modeling days, and a cameo from Tonya Lee Williams looking like she was fresh off the set of Little House on the Prairie.  In other words, it was the glory days of Y&R– when the Winters had a story, the Abbots weren’t all crazy, and Victor had a possible love child that was sleeping with both his daughter and ex-wife.  Take this trip with me down memory lane.  Enjoy.

    The video isn’t working for me right now but….Where I live, we got Y&R on the East Coast at 4:00. So anytime the normal broadcast (12:30) didn’t air because of some National breaking news or sports thing…we always watched KSJ doing those behind the scenes shows.

    He would always do the most random questions and I believe the opening segment invovled him doing some random dance across the screen.

    ~MEMORIES~

    Oh also, Cole was by far my favorite of Victoria’s marriage. He was hilarious!

    Soaper, I don’t remember these videos at all, but they’re so random and funny. Oh the days when CBS Daytime actually cared about black people, LOL.

    That was sooooooooooo sweet!!!!!!

    J. Eddie Peck is my new crush! Lol! He’s the funny guy. DD’s the responsible guy. SM’s the shy guy. KSJ’s the ring-leader.

    They appear to really like each other and have genuine friendships! I wonder if this kind of stuff still goes on behind the scenes!

    When JEP said to DD, “where we going next?” I thought, BnB!!! Lmao!!!

    Btw, TLW was so pretty when she was younger. Her body was fit!!! ;)
