Brenda Dickinson played the role of villianess like nobody else could. She very seldom let Jill be vulnerable. I love Jess Walton.. but Brenda, was my girl.
Haha well stated 😂 well, just decided to edit, to actually answer the question, or implied question, things change most commonly not because they're better but just because you're supposed to move on to other things, and that's better😮... In other words, as in this case, I'm quite sure neither I nor anyone else would appreciate Terry and Brenda as much if they had had continued in these roles forever... As it is however, it is utterly poignant not just bittersweet and not just nostalgic, to see scenes like this, and thereby a kind of inspiration in the tragic truth of the unattainability of what is gone
Jess made Jill her own but despite how good an actor Peter is, he just cannot compare with Terry Lester. Terry is like Tony Geary, Erica Slezak, Genie Francis... one of the irreplaceable greats.
I agree and do like Jess Walton but she has never been as sadistic, demonic, twisted or evil as Brenda Dickerson's original portrayal. She was a HUGE character in the 80's on this show, back when the soaps were psychological thrillers unlike today.
BD as Jill was the Erika Cane of Y&R, I stopped watching the show for many years after she left. She made me LOL a lot with Mrs. Chancellor. She was what Erika wasn't very conniving... Its a shame what the network did to her..
Finally! Someone else who thinks the exact same thing as me. That would've been something to see, oozing sex appeal and see Terry's Jack and Phyllis turn Genoa City upside down as a couple, I'd like to have seen them give Victor and Nikki a run for their money.
Best Jack and best Jill.Jack now,always gets the shaft from Victor.The Victor Newman show.maybe make some people mad,but,Y& R revolves around him,and that is why,i quit watching,after Phillip lll came back and it is was a bust,I thought,after years of waiting for him to come back,and Patty.
Brenda and Terry made fireworks as Jill and Jack, the show was never the same after they left
They DEFINITELY had sparks!
Terry Lester and Brenda Dickson had incredible chemistry is Jack and Jill Terry Lester was just the perfect Jack a smartass
Facts!
I loved her in this role! In spite of what a lot of people say, I still think BD was the best Jill Abott!
You bet she was!!
Brenda Dickinson played the role of villianess like nobody else could. She very seldom let Jill be vulnerable. I love Jess Walton.. but Brenda, was my girl.
Totally!
Absolutely.
No disrespect to Jess Walton, but anybody that thinks she's the best still clearly never watched when Brenda Dickson was playing the role. 🖤
I´ve never sen her as Jill but OMG. I love her as Jill. So soapy. So 80´s. What´s not to love?
She was great. But I think the next one was good too. I liked the chemistry with Ms. Chancellor.
Terry Lester was awesome
Agree. He was Jack. Terry Lester. RIP.
Terry Lester was EVERYTHING!!!
Rest In Peace Terry
Oh..I so loved Brenda and Terry as Jack &Jill..What an exciting time it was at Y&R..Thanks also to Bill Bell..Happy these clips are around..
I have no idea why the new jack and Jill that replaced these two are still working in this role the best is right here

Brenda gave great 1940s film noir acting.
Among other things, just such a great cadence and pitch
Good childhood memories.R.I.P Terry Lester.
Wow still good today the two best actors to ever work on the y and r
November 28 2003 Terry Lester passed away So young talented Looks .They say He succumbed to a Heart attack brought on By Aids.
Not aware. I Thought it was cancer.
Aids? I hadn't heard.....but then again that isn't put out really. It takes months nowadays to get confirmation if a celeb commits suicide.
@@maestroclassico5801 well if this True Eighter Terry Lester was a Secret Gay that contracted Aids Virus or IV user .
Jess made Jill her own but despite how good an actor Peter is, he just cannot compare with Terry Lester. Terry is like Tony Geary, Erica Slezak, Genie Francis... one of the irreplaceable greats.

Yes it's all truly incomparable, but worth talking about
Agreed
BD as Jill was the Erika Cane of Y&R, I stopped watching the show for many years after she left. She made me LOL a lot with Mrs. Chancellor. She was what Erika wasn't very conniving... Its a shame what the network did to her..
This is amazing. Thanks
12-29-23 He was the BEST JACK ABBOTT JR
Sally Spencer has nothing on our Jill.
Sally Spectra?
@@juliushawkins49 yes sorry mistake
Jill is such a nice lady
Imagine Terry Lester and Michelle Stafford as Jack and Phyllis
Finally! Someone else who thinks the exact same thing as me. That would've been something to see, oozing sex appeal and see Terry's Jack and Phyllis turn Genoa City upside down as a couple, I'd like to have seen them give Victor and Nikki a run for their money.
Terry had a great voice sexy
He was a musician too.
Brenda is the best Y&R should bring her back today!
I love how over dressed and overly made up everyone was in the 80s ln y&r it was soap glamour!
It was the Dynasty influence on all the soaps, daytime and nighttime soaps
And hey it was the Midwest supposedly, gets cold
@@samuelosler1994 And Dallas (looking at you, One Life to Live).
Terry had a more comic quality of Jack than Peter.
Peter Bergman was more serious as Jack. I enjoyed him when he played Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc THIS. absolutely. When Jess and Peter came along the tone got a bit less campy.
If he were a UK Actor he would have gotten an award for Best Comedic Performance.
Oh I'd give a lot to have all that back😢 .. or oh well you know pay it forward😅
I remember when they first met and learned each others names were Jack and Jill,but not if these 2 were the actors in the scene.
It was Terry Lester that made the Y&R the success it is today. He was far superior to Peter Bergman hands down
Best Jack and best Jill.Jack now,always gets the shaft from Victor.The Victor Newman show.maybe make some people mad,but,Y& R revolves around him,and that is why,i quit watching,after Phillip lll came back and it is was a bust,I thought,after years of waiting for him to come back,and Patty.
The actress playing Jill now is just miserable I just can’t watch her
Painful to watch
Her acting was painful as Jill.
When riveting hurts best to turn away
Oh and anyway that wasn't acting😂
OMG this Jill was the Worst actress on tv! Even bad for day time soaps!!
Crash64100 She’s not the worst actress on soaps have you looked at the actress that plays Summer Newman .....case closed
She has a super cult following unlike no other past or present soap star even decades after she left the show.
@@cantkeepmedown100 Dickson was awesome!!!!
Actually the guy who played her son, Phillip, Thom Bierdz was the most pitiful, popcorn fart actor in the show’s history.
@@thomasford5042 Why they allowed him to return is beyond me. Phillip is alive and well.
