Can someone please send me the link to the vault? I somehow misplaced it. Thank you!

Hey everyone, there was someone who posted a google doc with the correct episode numbers and dates. Does anyone have a link to that doc?

I will forever be angry that we didn't get a real Grant/Taylor pairing. They had great chemistry and were such a refreshing break from the Ridge merry go round. It's not anyone's fault, Hunter told them she was leaving for Melrose around the time Grant was hired but their last scenes together (the dance and then kiss) are among some of my favorite scenes. I hated what they did to Grant after he got with Brooke. He had such promise prior to that pairing.

KA seemed nice but how can anyone be surprised by this? The entire reason Hunter refused to return anymore, which she made clear on Twitter before she deleted her account, was because she said she was tired of what Taylor had been reduced to (a foil for Bridge with nothing outside of that) tired of the triangle and had zero faith a return would ever be different. Brad recast the part, and changed nothing - he still made Taylor a speed bump basically on the road to boring Bridge and then had zero use for Taylor after that - the same lazy trash writing he has been giving the character for yearsssss.

It's probably the most vocal Hunter was about flat out hating a story. I mean, it goes nowhere and is abruptly dropped because she tells them she's leaving for Melrose in late 95'. They totally drop that story and promptly bring in Lauren to be a foil for Bridge (which IMO made them look terrible - Ridge making out with Taylor would be one thing as they were married and had history, but him being as tempted as he was by Lauren while he was with Brooke was a mess). But even all of that became a total waste of TEB's talent

I know in 1992 best crossover was Lauren/Sheila and Best Wedding was Taylor/Ridge 1993 I'm not sure what Best Triangle was (I don't think it was Brooke/Ridge/Taylor) but Hottest Love Scenes was Taylor/Ridge (that write up was posted on Twitter)

I don't know if I will ever enjoy a catfight as much as I enjoy the last one in this video. God it's so hilarious

Thanks everyone for answering my Lucy/Jake and Lucy/Tom question. I am still hunting for those scenes and the aftermath. If anyone has them please post them!

I have a question, does anyone know WHY Jake slept with Lucy and the circumstances around Tom Hardy sleeping with Lucy? Those are two instances I have never been able to find clips of or wrap my head around. Why did Tom sleep with Lucy while he was married to Simone? And how did Jake end up sleeping with Lucy? There didn't seem to be any sexual tension between them leading up to it or anything. I know it happened when they were on the run and hiding out in that house, but I've never understood how it actually happened.

Why waste time with EB and Flannery when we can have countless scenes of Brooke disrobing for Jack, standing around in lingerie and kissing Victor? That whole crossover was dumb and a complete waste. I also hate that every single crossover seems to happen solely to help/prop B&B. It never does a thing for Y&R (going all the way back to 1992 and having Scott actually die on B&B instead of the show where he originated just to help their ratings).

I have never understood anyone who liked 94-96/97 it was AWFUL. Boring. 1994 really does highlight what a bad writer Brad Bell was. It was his first full year writing the show and just 5 or 6 months in we were having to watch Stephanie reduced to nothing but protecting boring Jessica's virtue, all of the Spectras basically backburned and the only person we ever saw at Spectra was Dylan...oh and Ivana in yet another story nobody cared about. Macy and Thorne's singing contract story was atrocious. Princess Leila went on entirely too long! Hunter returned in fall 1994 and Taylor did not reveal herself until almost summer of 1995 and then by like November it was announced Hunter had been cast on Melrose. So they wasted allllllll that time in Morocco instead of immediately getting the character back to LA. Ridge and Brooke were boring as all hell, doin nothing but having sex with zero conflict or even real conversations. 95 was also a big bunch of nothing (except entirely too much focus on the kids like it had suddenly morphed into a Nickelodeon show).

Eva I believe just wanted to keep the headhunter job and was afraid what clients would feel if they knew she was acting too. HOWEVER she was at Y&R and I could why some like EB could see that as degrading the show I feel he went overboard attacking her acting Although she seemed embarrassed that they showed a Y&R Clip Ok if this is all she said then EB is being ridiculous and he needs to delete those tweets. She was clearly talking about being a headhunter and not wanting clients to know she was acting too because most people think actors in general aren't smart.
