I have never in the history of the show have seen more boring period than 2019 to 2023. The last 5 seasons have been unbearably slow and if you just skip from 2019 to 2023 it would be like you missed 10 episodes. Thats the sad part. It seems that the effort to write something new is 0. Isnt it time for Bradley Bell to realize he is more out of touch than ever. If his infantile storylines from 1994 to 2012 were somewhat okay for the viewers with lower IQ or hate watching viewers... the quality now has been so consistenly low that even they dont like it anymore. Why cant he give someone else the control... someone that has a youngerIsh view... A writer that is 35-50 years old that has fresh ideas. 

The show has MILLIONS in it still... because it is a universal type of show and the actors are great. You can have a great season anytime if you WRITE IT.

In this era... why not make a storyline about domestic abuse... about systematic psychological abuse. Make it start slow and get hardcore months later. We need a damsel in distress... and if Bradley wants it could even be Brooke. I would make her CEO of Forrester and have her with a new man. This new man should start being abuse to her in small ways and in the end I would make Brooke as Nicole Kidman in Big little lies... she can even kill him in self defense and that could be YEARS of storyline.

I would make Taylor and Ridge a happy couple... Then Taylor will get a sick stalker a patient of her.

I would make Sheila part of Forrester again. She should get another chance and stop being evil for a moment. We need Sheila to get in new clothes and new storyline. Then she can go psycho in couple of years again. But GIVE THAT WOMAN a break.

Hope needs to become the new slut from the valley. I said it. She needs to start making more and more mistakes. Its in her blood.

I would just shake things up and move it towards more dramatic and dark places.

Why do we need the same old... I kissed someone CRY CRY CRY scenes... or how many times WILL we see Brooke and Ridge plan to have a future together. I mean... if you cant have a sucessful marriage for for 40 years... just move ON.

Brooke could be saved from her abusive husband by some hot sexy waiter. Brooke needs to feel desired and sexy again. Thats when this character works. And KKL still got it.

But no... we will never see anything interesting. We will see Brooke cry for Ridge in 2035 and Hope and Liam being boring in 2045.

Bradley Bell has lost the little talent that he had.

That you took the time to respond, with such excellent spelling and grammar, is all the affirmation I need. Thank you.

My bad grammer doesnt excuse your bad manners.

Watched Kim’s cameo. She looked great, still had her Samantha vibe, and got paid a fortune.

SJP really struggled to convey any warmth. You can tell she hated that HBO mandated that cameo. 

Oh my god... SJP is really at fault that she even exists. You people are so toxic towards that woman. She struggled to convey warmt? Are you a clinical psychologist that specialises in facial expression... SJP didnt struggle at nothing. You people are never happy with her and thats disturbing.

Bold after 1993. Till maybe 2005. Then it got next level bad.

I actually love that Sheila is on the show. She just needs to have problem with someone else.

Liam needs to just....  go away. When will Sheila kill him? PLEASE.

Guys Ive managed to make pretty much 2001 (from august till december) and 2002 ... full... in perfect montage with english audio and german video. Ive also used a bit of quality enhancer and denoiser... but now I see there is no way to share these episodes in the vault. I thought that only young and restless vault was blocked but I see that bold is too. This is too sad since I worked so hard to be able to share them. Im sorry that you will have to wait.

Karens final storyline was like a slap to the actress. It was so pathetic and unnecessary. Karen was destroyed character by the end. In comparison to Caroline it was like the sun and a home lamp. 

It's a word that makes people kill themselves. Do not use it to describe someone's appearance. Please.

RJ is super cute and I don't get the hate. He is a young actor and he will evolve and grow.

Nu Rj is ugly he js has a nice body 

Please dont call someone ugly. Imagine being him and reading this about yourself. 

Is this because someone is reporting it? Why is this happening? All the time. Every couple of months. I suspect there is some very bad evil person lurking and reporting our vault. If you are reading this - please stop doing this.

This show needs a complete makeover. If it was up to me I would bring Macy back from the dead and set her out to destroy Brooke and Forrester Creations. I would turn her into modern day Sally Spectra... older and full of tricks. Macy was a power house back in the day.

Guys can you just continue this discussion in the young and restless classic thread. This is for the vault updates. Thank you.

i will upload 2021, but can not see what is missing from  2020 if you tell me which episodes i will add them too

 

something happened when i was uploading will check and upload again do tell me if there is something missing or not working

 

From 2020 I see that 8329 to 8369 are missing. Thank you so much

Can some sweet angel add the missing episodes from 2020 and 2021... if there is a chance... There are not alot I think but they are missing. Thank you so much in advance. 

Also Ive already made like 50 episode from 2001 with good quality german video and english audio. And will upload soon. I want to have more to batch upload everything. I make like 10 episodes a day... and it takes like 1 to 2 hours every day... so it will be a slow process but I think worth it.. to be able to watch 2001 and 2002 in great video quality with english audio. 

I asked my husband to rate the last couple of seasons and he said that the show was fixed in the beginning of 1998. Then he liked 1999 and now 2000.

I can agree. Even though I was very negative while I watched... Now when I look back it really did seem to get better in 1998 and started getting memorable again.

I particulary liked Sheilas exit and the Brooke Thorne drama.

I didn't like Pierce. They just fail at new characters every time.

But now I can say that in 2000 I really like the show. It has been entertaining.

Definitely! Thank you so much. It’s like viewing the episodes for the first time with so good picture quality. 

I am not the one uploading. Just saying... And I forgot to say thank you to the angels. Thank you 

Heads up for the great videoland episodes in the vault.

If the show kills Liam I truly believe it may survive (the show). Liam is like Nick was in 2003 to 2009... Nick worked for a bit but then he got very annoying and he sucked the air out of the show every episode. I rarely rewatch this period because of him. Liam is the same. The character lacks dept and qualities to make him a desirable man. Or at least an interesting man. So these women fighting for him has always NOT worked and seemed absurd to me. Really. Liam is so under average. He is not talented at anything... He is not particularly smart... He is not cunning or even a good business man. I will always remember him sitting with his wife commenting Brooke's love life. What a loser. One thing positive is that the actor Is cute and he looks hot... But I need more than that. Sorry. I will never rewatch anything with Liam. For me this character has been the death of the show. It symbolises that for me. He is not the main reason but he is one of them. Again I am only talking about the character. Fans of the actor don't hate on me.

I use Microsoft Edge. It seems fast to me.

I will try it now. Thank youu

Guys when you download from the vault does the files abort or fail a lot... If I try to download a whole month it always fails. I have to do it episode by episode which is very sloow. What browser are you using if you don't have that problem. Please help with information.
