And I pray to God ... Daphne goes with her.

https://www.tvgids.nl/primetime/28-03-2025/rtllounge I'm looking at the program of the RTL Lounge channel - the channel that originally aired Bold... and for some reason I am not seeing any more new Bold Classics episodes. Am I not seeing something... or does that mean that they have stopped airing them?

In the first folder when you open BB Vault. It's literally right there.

Very thankful to the person who started uploading 1999 episodes 3099 to 3102 - recorded straight from RTL Lounge. The quality is amaaaaazing. I would be grateful if you could continue till we hit the youtube episodes - for 30 more episodes. The quality of your recording in my opinion is superior than Videoland.

I just checked. Everything works perfectly. ❤️

Bingo. And of course it's Hope to blame! In this misogynistic show it's always the woman's fault... Haven't you heard that in Ridge's eyes she is a worthless slut and nasty little bitch?! We counted, btw... and Hope has slept with couple of guys LESS than his guard dog Steffy. And yes, he said all of this in front of Brooke. Her mother. Who then had this "Aha!" moment, slapped the sh-t out of him... and stormed out... leaving all of us feeling like a new era may be on the horizon. But no... After that scene... Brooke was basically written out... minimized to crying over losing Ridge to Taylor. And right now... it looks like she is going to side with Ridge against her daughter. Maybe it's time to step it up a notch and write it so Brooke gifts a kidney to Ridge... to make him realize how much she will sacrifice for him. Never in the nearly 40 years history of the show... has Brooke been such a pathetic loser. She was once Bradley's favorite storyline driver... I wonder what happened... so that in 2025 she only gets the worst of scraps. People don't want to believe it... but I won't be surprised if she left in the coming years. KKL has been traveling non stop in Europe and was just given the Powerful Woman Award in Italy. She's going places where she is being treated basically like royalty. And her episodes on Bold are becoming less and less and less. Good FOR her!

+1

I hope we celebrate that with a new head writer.

I will have to be honest and say... 1. 2005 (if I can include it) - the last classic year in my view. The last year where the Stephanie-Brooke feud WORKED and was not on it's last legs. Taylor kind of ruined it. But still... a lot of drama packed in that year. 2. 2010 - Pose! Pose! Pose! - The show was TOP trash for the entire year. Hitting climax in June with the Broliver fiasco... and then by the end of the year we has the disgusting, trashy Bromas - Thomas drooling over stepmother Brooke. This is the only year after 2002 that I've rewatched most. I rewatch this TRASH pretty much every Christmas... and it never ceases to make me laugh. 3. 2015 - Maya revealed to be transgender. This storyline gave the show so much momentum and drama... 4. 2013 - Brill when it was fresh... Katie finding out about the affair continues to be Heather Tom's strongest scenes ever. 5. 2019 - Shauna - I ADORED HER... Hope-baby switch - I didn't like that storyline that much... but compared to what happened after 2020... it's the last somewhat interesting period. 2006-2009 are a very dull period for me. I forget that these years exist most regularly. 2007 was especially BAD with the Brooke rape storyline... that was supposed to win KKL an Emmy. 2008-2009 were better, but still... very forgettable. My favorite storyline of this "dull" period is Pam vs Donna... but that was pure camp. And not sustainable, sadly.

Hahaha, yes... sometimes even one episode can ruin a storyline and make it unwatchable. I'm so disappointed, because in the beginning of August... the show was firing on all cylinders. I'm sure my irritation will pass... soon. I also can't wait to get to the Agnes Nixon era. Can you believe... I'm so ashamed to say that as a soap fan, I haven't ever seen a single episode written by her. I have no idea if she is good or bad, but I've heard only praise... so I'm excited. I also have heard before that 1990-1992 were strong years... 🥳

I'm thankful it's early on. Before we had established some emotional ties with that beautiful man. LOL. It doesn't bother me. While they are at it - fix Martin and Ashley too.

Up to August 11, 1989 🐍 WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Everything is getting messy and confusing again. How is this possible? I was just enjoying the show... and giving MDP praise... when all of a sudden... none of it makes sense. Marissa and Jeremy's storyline... with Trevor... is about to end... with Jeremy just LIKE THAT finding out the whole truth and Marissa confessing without much pressure. I'm sorry, but NO. Marissa has been able to get herself out of more dire situations through lies and distortion of reality... we've seen what she is capable of. She could have thought of a clever way to change the narrative so that Jeremy gets off the trail of evidence. And even if he did find out... she could have imagined a smarter way to spin it... than beg for forgiveness and say - I did it because I loved you... (Is this the ghost of Silver Kane that has possessed her?) I expected a lot more from the character of Marissa. It was too sloppy, too fast... and Jeremy acted out of character - he was kind of brutal with her and... too dismissive and cold. Wasn't this supposed to be the woman he was beginning to fall in love with again? The woman he tried so hard to protect from all these imaginary foes and misfortunes? I would have loved to see him hurting and confused... struggle to choose what to believe, how to act... more than... just call Marissa a freaking liar and throw her out like a homeless cat... in these cheap, melodramatic scenes. He only had an eye witness who claimed to have seem Marissa and Trevor together before her "kidnapping". Marissa could have claimed that someone PAID that eyewitness to lie. Many options were available how to get out of this. But now... they just wanted to be OVER with this storyline in 2 episodes. It was so apparent. Why did we even need to see Trevor secretly record Marissa and him having sex... if this was not used to terrorize her for couple of more weeks and build up to the final reveal. It would have been so shocking and more powerful if Jeremy had taken Marissa's side... even married her... and THEN to find all of it - why not even play that disgusting video on their wedding day or something soapy like that. It could have hit harder. THAN THIS. And now ALL OF A SUDDEN we get a COPY-PASTE of the exact twist that happened last year. But back then it was Silver Kane who was threatening Natalie's life. It's done in the same way... I'm pretty sure even the dialogue is similar. Marissa, who has been cold-blooded and very crafty with escaping responsibility till now... is now acting like a desperate stupid housewife... hiding a gun and cornering Natalie in the hospital elevator. Is this supposed to be dramatic? Scary? That's out of character for Marissa to do it in such a sloppy way. It was okay for Silver, because Silver was emotionally unstable and very insecure. ME NO LIKEY. I've seen this done better last year. Marissa was not that type of character... she was the calculated bitch who knew how to spin things in her favor. I'm struggling to believe this. NEXT STORYLINE. And we also have THE absurd bizarre reveal that... or at least it seems like it... ERIC Kane is alive and on Erica's door... about to reveal himself. After Mona just told Erica some hard to believe story about Eric owing people money just before he "died". Is this all that you could come up with? This was very insufficient for me. MESS. I would have loved if this was not Erica's actual father. Maybe he isn't... maybe I'm acting prematurely. We'll see. But the face is EXACTLY the same. Ugh. MOVING ON And another mess - Nina is back in town and crying in every scene she is... I'm not up for that ride. I can't stomach Nina. Don't ask me why. Reminds me of Caroline Spencer OG. I was not needing her return at all. Now I'm going to have to suffer through her being perfect and crying every episode. God, make it stop. Overall - the show has fallen down to JUST bearable 2/10 for me. While it was 10/10 just couple of episodes ago. I'm going to continue watching in the hopes that Agnes Nixon brings more quality when she arrives in couple of months. I only have 3-4 more months of Margaret De Priest. Maybe she will get better again, we'll see. Sorry for the rant. I just was LOVING it... and that's why I get mad when storylines get messy and ruined at the end. dddddddddddddddd.mp4

A son would have been very interesting dynamics... having a mother like Erica Kane.

She sits on boards. boards.mp4

Season 1, Episode 9.mp4 They'll give you more than "fun".

I still don't know if that is indeed Eric Kane. I can't wait to find out. 😁 And about AW... I think someone who knows her (MDP) history on that show can help us with that question. I, myself, have only seen 5 of her AW episodes and they were million times worse than anything under her name on AMC.

I wonder if any of them read our topic here. ❤️☺️

Yup. That's why some days I gasp when I catch Steffy fans slut-shaming Hope circa 2025. If you are going to stan a character that was doing the exact same (even more hardcore if you ask me) stuff that you are condemning another character for... Then you can't make me take your opinion seriously. I am even starting to think that a lot of these people have not watched the OG JMW Steffy. They are new fans from the last couple of seasons. They really don't know the history and what they are talking about. And I'm gonna say something very honest now. Steffy used to be fun. I preferred her when she was Brooke wannabe. JMW had that sexy thing that not a lot of actresses possess. And what did Brad Bell do? He made her matronly... Moralistic and quite frankly insufferable. And when all the other so called whores listen to her monologues about them and do nothing about it... Don't defend themselves by using The history of the show and FACTS... That's when I jump the boat. It's offensive for me as a viewer to watch this.

Hope and Steffy are the biggest mess. Mess with a capital M. Prepared to be the new generation of leads... Bradley did a HUGE... mistake and decided to flip their characters 10 seasons in. Steffy, who he originally wrote as the dark-haired Brooke - "slut" with no morals, stealing men and making girls like Hope - cry... and Hope - closer to Taylor and Caroline in terms of characteristics - a character that symbolized RIGHT and goodness and was contrast to her mother's past... All of a sudden, without any build up or prior settings... Bradley decided that he MADE a mistake when decades ago he decided that Taylor's daughter will be a mini Brooke and Brooke's one - a mini Taylor... and said - Fu-ck THAT... Hope's last name is Logan... so from this day forward - she is a slut, a bitch and etc... And Steffy is called Stephanie! After our long gone matriarch... So I'll make her a mini Stephanie - I'll turn this once dynamic character into a moralizing, always sour-faced, always forbidding people BULLY. And this change of dynamics... has led to total chaos.

I'm very happy to hear about season 18! 2005 was no that bad in comparison of what CAME after that. And it had that sweet month-long story of Stephanie's fake heart attack... that I love and adore.
