Imagine the day Brooke realizes her vagina has completely dried out and cant perform. Then Ridge could look in nostalgia and have these sexy flashbacks.  

I am kidding... but its on the level of the [!@#$%^&*] they are putting forward these days.

I really feel like 2003 to 2005 is the last SOMEWHAT bearable period. 2006 marked drastic difference in quality. How many times did we see Bridget Brooke and Nick crying... it was absurd. And very boring.

I managed to watch (as in fast forward) the last 2 months and let me congratulate Bradley.

You have finally managed to turn Bold into Indian telenovela. The absurd close ups and over-reacting. Liam and his hungry dog face... Hope and her longing in pain face... Brooke and her HOW dare you face... It is bad. The scenes lack any sense of real drama and conflict. Even 2002 now seems like GOLDEN era compared to this crap. 

But I laughed so much when Brooke just like that entered a 30 year old man apartment... snooped with few looks and JUST LIKE THAT burst into the bedroom. This is classic Brooke and I loved that scene. Laughed for hours. 

Videoland have really effed up with DELETING all seasons except the last 200 episodes. This is very stupid since people want to binge watch and they will lose lots of interest that way. They should have kept the last 2-3 seasons at least. Thank God we have everything recorded.

RJ is very fresh and I love the actor. They need to give me some story though. I would love for Brooke to have a fight with Ridge and take over the company as CEO and make RJ the main designer.

It is a shame that Rick Forrester is no longer on the canvas yet Liam still is. Tragic!

And Bridget. That woman had so much trauma... they could have turned her into psycho serial killer doctor and would have worked.

He should have been our gay Rick... sleeping with everyone like his mother.

Maybe you're right I should do something about it.. She claimed to have HD episodes from videoland well that's awesome. But am not sure if the police will do anything when these are different Countries, I think she was from US and I am from Poland

And to all beware of the program called Stream GaGa. On its page it Claims to have Videoland Downloader in it and everything seems just too perfect to be true, it Says it downloads HD videos from videoland,that you can switch off the subtitles if you want to etc etc etc, just pure perfection. I bought it. And I download at this 960x540 quality like @rsclassicfanforeversaid is the highest quality on videoland right now, the downloading of one episodes lasts almost whole day, at the end when it Says it is 100% complete it Says there was a failure and I am left with NO mp4 file. This way I lost a lot of money , 119,99$ to be exact and they just said they informed the stuff about the failure in download but when I asked for refund they don't want to give it to me. Now they just ignore my e-mails and don't reply at all. These are scammers from hell and certainly I have fallen for them too.. 

1 day for one episode..... And this costs 119... Oh my... This is shocking. I am sorry you have been scammed like this. Its full of these scams out there and thats why I never risk it. 

Anyways... thanks to you and anon for keeping the new uploads in. We ALL need to say this more and more. Lots of people just download and have never said anything. Shame on you. 

P.S - if its a problem... I have nothing against these new lower quality files. I was just making a suggestion. I am not even a fan of this particular period of the show so It doesnt matter too much to me. 

I think this is the same idiot. It was a clear scam. I was sent screenshots from the official YouTube channel episodes all while this person said there are personal VHS tapes hahahah. You should actually report this to police if she scammed you. This is a crime. Give them her FB page.

Yes, exactly this forum is the best community I have ever found and we'll keep it this way, thank you so much @divinemotion .. You know I had so mamy struggles, some "seller" even deceived me, I paid and he was supposed to send me Year 1994 and the result is I have nothing: nor Year 1994 neither money back because this seller claims he sent it to me for sure... I know this USB Might have got lost somehow throughout the way, well I don't know. The last episode that I have is actually 1719 ... And I don't have that much time to continue watching either. I always postpone watching.. 

There was thing absurd FB that offered full years and I contacted them. They gave me stupid screenshots from youtube clips and when I wanted to get a sample of the files... he told me HOW DARE I question him. I just told him HE IS A SCAMMER and blocked him. Maybe its the same person. Its a fb page but i dont remember the name. These people are disgusting and the will rot in hell for scamming people like you.

Ok, I am very sorry, I don't want to argue with anyone, can someone please delete these posts that I wrote? I do care about the community and the Vault to be full of episodes and believe me if I only could download these episodes myself I would and I would put them myself in the Vault in the best quality vudeoland is offering right now but it is just so hard for me to find the accurate program, I bought some program and it does not not work, and of course they don't respond to my messages after they wrote to me I can't get refund but I wanted Within 7 days refund guarantee period but then they said they will improve it so that downloading from videoland would work eventually. Well, that's complicated, but I am doing what I can to get those episodes. I am sorry @divinemotion I know you meant nothing wrong but so did I when I asked some time ago if HD would be possible, that's all. I never meant to sound rude or ungrateful, I am really sorry. And I wish if @anon4520 could still record these EPS Wherever he has time

I never hold a grudge and when someone says he or she is sorry THIS is true proof of positive characteristics. Thank you for this apology! I have nothing against you and WILL gladly continue civilized communication. I appreciate everything YOU and anon are doing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Lets keep this thread always on positive and continue finding ways to communicate with love and respect.

Have a great day, Pedro

Of course I am always to be blamed thank you very much. I did not intend to cancel subscription just said that because everyone is always complaining about the quality insted of being grateful to the Angels. This is NOT FAIR! Since you like to use capital Letters in order to scream at me!! 

What you did is wrong and Im not going to be gaslit and told that someone is going to pull a plug because I DARED to ask a polite question. I will use CAPITAL letters to make myself clear and I am not screaming at anyone. You came here and made it toxic. We were calmly talking about quality and ways to improve and you came here like you are GOD who can pull a plug and cancel his subscription.

Do whatever you want, nobody here DOES anything against his will. We contribute ALL. 

Again, I promise with all my heart... that if the person that threatens to pull the plug... pulls it. I will find an alternative. I have people I know that understand these things. I will find a way, because this person will spin it that it is my fault. 

And since I really don't like the way this communication is going, please don't communicate with me anymore. I know people like you and I don't need to respond to guilt tripping and gaslight. Bye.

Dont compare the situations. They are not the same. What you are doing now is THREATENING to take anons ability to record. This is waaaay too much over-reacting to someone just ASKING if there is a way to bring the uploads back to what he was recording them. I DONT ASK for 720 HD...I am just asking if its possible for the files to be 130-150 again since he WAS DOING THEM PERFECTLY and now has changed and they are lower quality. 

Anyways IF YOU decide to pull the plug... I promise I WILL FIND A WAY TO record them. It may take me time but I will and I will upload them here. AND I WILL NEVER THREATEN to pull the plug. Thats not fair play. 

So please dont act childish and take anons ability to upload. He is doing this for YOU AND us. Be more grateful to HIM and dont tell that you will stop his access to record.

Why are you threatening to cancel when I clearly am not complaining and just asking if there is an alternative to change the recording setting to bigger files. Jesus. Everyone adds to the vault whatever they have. I added nearly 150 episodes from 2003 to 2005. The way you are phrasing it" I will cancel if you complain "makes it look like I did something wrong.

Cancel whatever you want. Don't gaslight people and tell me I am complaining when I am simply asking a polite question.

I think this may be the end for me in this thread. People are too toxic and ungrateful.

For all the people complaining about the quality, I can really cancel my subscription at videoland at any time and the Angel @anon4520 will lose the possibility to record the episodes.

I did not know videoland changed their system ... I am trying to download myself the episodes via some program which is not quite working like I would wanted (in reality it is not working at all hence I shared my account with @anon4520 to record) but indeed the highest quality to download it offers is 960x540 pixels just like @rsclassicfanforever said. It is stupid that HD quality can only be viewed via app. Pity they cancelled Seasons 6, 7 and 8 but I believe it is due to copyrights to the episodes, it terminated for those seasons.

Also, all of a sudden, adds are showing on every episode.. Till recently I had zero adds at the beginning of the episodes.

I am not saying that the angel is uploading in bad quality its just that we have tha vault and we have space... why not have them at 150 mb and be good quality. I am sorry if I am rude for asking. If its not possible I find it completely ok. ANd I thank the angel again.

It's not that big...but there is a difference and more pixels. The videoland app looks much better.

If the 1996 angel is reading... I have a little something to ask and I really feel bad to do it. You are already doing so much... and I am so so grateful! But I would ask and I think most can agree that if its possible for the Angel to return to the bigger files... Maybe 150 to 200 mb will be perfect. These new recordings look a lot worse on TV and I think the vault has enough space to have these episodes in better quality. We have some of the most boring years with files worth 700 mb an episode... and these better classic years I think deserve better. Of course if its not possible... thats not an issue. Thanks in advance.

That's really amazing @YRfan23!

I guess Kimberlin Brown was bringing so much young viewers. That lady has some presence!  One thing I remember now is Sheila and her music score. That tone that you all know that comes up when Sheila thinks about something or plots. That particular music suspense score left a mark so strong on me I would hum it all day and pretend I was plotting something scary. I would run in the garden humming that music and laugh hysterically as if I was Sheila and I remember at some point a neighbor started to complain of all the noise.  Too bad nowadays there is no iconic music score that repeats and repeats like that anymore. Everything sounds so basic now. Back then you would hear the music and know that Sheila is around. I MISS this so much.

Thats a complete utter lie in the commentary. Thats not how Caroline died. She didnt look good. The actress lost weight and looked very sick for weeks in story. Also the final scenes were very strong. She acted amazingly. These people dont know what they are talking about. Absurd.

I am sorry if a thread like this exist somewhere. My question is in the title... is there a particular moment while watching a show that you got so hooked... you continued for years. Please do tell what that moment was and on what show, what year?

For me is as follows

1. The Bold And The Beautiful

First memory of being hooked on it was when Sheila was poisoning Stephanie. I would have been 4 or 5 years old, but I still remember it. I never could get that strange woman with the black hair that was poisoning that blond older woman out of my 5 year old brain. Me and my grandma would sit all day commenting about this. I would even play out the scenes in which Sheila and Stephanie were in a fight and would wear fake hair and act like I was Sheila. LOL. This was 1995 in USA if I am not mistaken and I think 2000 or 2001 in my country.

2. Sunset Beach

I would watch before that but when there was this particular cursed jewels story I was HOOKED. Too bad it ended soon. But I loved it as a child. This would have been 1998 in USA and probably 2002-2003 in my country.

Dynasty. 

They hired Joan Collins for a 5 episode stint and the ended up TAKING over the whole show.

Hunter Tylo started so under the radar in Bold. The first couple of months her character was just supporting Caroline and Ridge story and she was there on and off... her hair was mostly up and she wore a doctors coat. Then I could feel that they sensed what they had and BOOM she looked so much better with perfect hair and makeup and now wearing red dresses and looking very striking. She was slowly becoming leading. It was amazing.

BTW... great idea for a thread! 

Let me just say I am not the one who started comparing actors and talent. It started in the previous thread and when it got to the offensive statement about RM I intervened. It was in comparison to Tanner that dragonflies called Ronn Moss a footnote and said that Tanner is a throwback to OG stars.  

If you ask me...  they are similar in the talent department. Tanner for me is very wooden as BoldRestless said. He has 2 expressions on his face and that is all. But he is also not leading most of the time and I see him in very little transformative scenes. He has had only one more major thing with acting required so far and it was still very wooden. Ronn Moss got better with time back in the day. He had some good moments but overall could not get a lot of emotion across too. Ronn Moss is just iconic with the way he became a star in Europe. People are mad for him in Italy, Greece and etc.

Tanner I don't think will have that durability as a TV presence and actor. That's just my opinion. To me he is very similar to other low to mid level soap actors and will probably in few years just fade out of the profession since he is not that gifted as an actor. He could do some commercials for fitness or underwear or teeth health... I think... since he is a pretty man. But that's all. I don't see a star here. Hate me for it but I don't see it.

Ronn on the other hand with the little talent he had... probably had some lucky star in his life... to become so iconic and recognizable with just this role of Ridge... is amazing. I really never liked him when I grew up, but with time I appreciated him and I think NOBODY could play Ridge but him. To recast was one of the biggest mistakes Brad has made.  

The person that doesn't let it go is you dragonflies. I have nothing against you and DID not ever want to start a fight. I just wanted to say my opinion. I felt that what you said was WRONG and pretty much denied the whole show's history.

Now you continue to act like a child and want the last word and act like you won an argument, when you didn't SAY ONE word that defended your original post that = Ridge would be a footnote if only Ronn Moss played him, because he is so not memorable. Defend you words with arguments, please. Explain how Ridge played by Ronn Moss would be just a footnote.

You have tried to spin it further from this absurd false statement, and fight for everything else but NOT this, because everyone here said pretty much the same as me and agreed with me. And now you can't even recognise this and you act like everyone is agreeing with you... using infantile gifs and LOL-ing in every post. How mature of you. One of the main characteristics of an intelligent person is when they can admit they are wrong. There are people that can't do that. Google what this means. Since you said I can't read.

Again... you are probably a sweet person... since I don't see how anyone with your obvious high level of intelligence can not be sweet. Just know that when you make STATEMENT like that about a famous actor that played in a famous show for 25 years... in a forum full of people that have been watching for decades... there would be people that would come to disagree. Know that. What did you expect... Here is truly evident who tried to start a fight and wanted the fight to continue. And that's you. And if you have free time to do so... I don't. 

Ronn Moss or Ridge played by Ronn Moss will never be a footnote, sweetheart. If he was... people like you would never even write about him.

And for people commenting on actor's talent. I agree with all of you. But know that I never talked or defended talent. Ronn Moss is not the best actor. Tanner Novlan is at similar level and I suspect that this is what triggers dragonflies and makes them write false statements like they did about Ronn Moss. It's the hidden embarrassment that their own favorite is not that good.

Let me summarize, I did not start a fight, I did not tell anyone that he is ridiculous first... or that anyone is drooling or having a hard on, I did not get that low... I just stood up because a person said that Ronn Moss did basically nothing for the character of Ridge. And he would only be a footnote if TK did not come to play him. I will never let someone utter lies like that and not come to say something. I am not living in Russia.

PS... dragonflies you continue your strange statements now saying that when played by Ronn Moss, Ridge was a worse character. Here everyone WILL tell you that this is complete BS. When Ronn Moss played that character he was written by a genius called William Bell. If you don't know who that is... look him up. The new Ridge is written by this genius's son. His name will become a footnote in this shows's history someday as the person who destroyed Bold with bad writing. 

So I am astonished how you can compare the character back then and now and say that now is better. Also remember something every important - AN actor doesn't make a character not care about, in your words, Brooke's vagina. THE WRITER DOES. So you should probably say Bill Bell had a worse Ridge... Not that Ronn Moss was a worse Ridge. Do you understand how your statement again is so senseless?

But again you seem to have you own logic that doesn't fit with the world and everyone else's opinion. Good for you... but again... don't expect for everyone to stay silent while you bash a legend and then act like you are attacked or provoked. 

Have a great day.

so married people can't lust after others? LMAO, stop being ridiculous

The fact that you copied and pasted this from the OTHER thread is ridiculous, you clearly wanted to continue and now you want to be offended? 

You know what. I GET it know. You've actually managed to convince me otherwise with your smart responses and insight. I was wrong all along.

Ridge would clearly be a footnote if he was only played by Ronn Moss. How did I not get that sooner. How could I be so ridiculous to say that he was the star of the show, since he was not. I am so stupid, right. Maybe it is the hard on, maybe it is that I am getting older and a footnote myself.  But now I get it. Because what did you write, since my reading and comprehension are so bad... that he was so NOT memorable. I agree. Ronn Moss was so not memorable, he looked like every other guy and people would just see him on the street and WOULD never recognize him... and this is the reason he played Ridge for 25 years.  Who was Ronn Moss?  I do not remember. Do you even remember him?

But do you know what I remember and what I will never forget? You know it. The throwback to the OG stars that is who? Tanner Novlan. Every time I see his chest or abs I am thrown back into classic OG stars mode and I appreciate this GOD created character and GENIUSLY played hero. Can we agree on something? Because you know what, he is the HERO of the show and he will NEVER be a footnote. He left a mark so big that after 20 years people will skip the show and the first 35 years just to start with his first scene. Everyone else will just be a footnote. I want to apologize that I DARED to copy your smart analysis from the previous thread. I now realize I should not protest something that is so smart and so deep. I think you can appreciate my apology and the way I spoke. I have decided to try to talk on your level so you can understand me better. Since you told me I cannot read, I have tried to up my game. Thank you again for your wonderful and mature comments and insight. You will never be a footnote in this forum.
