And how is Clifton Davis 79? That man is HOT! I don't give him more than 55! I hope I could age like this. Please GOD.

This should be in the Louvre.

I love her outfit. So memorable.

I think the time till premiere is perfect. I will enjoy my last days in my 20s... and get BTG as a birthday present to soothe my 30 year old soul. What more can I desire? ❤️

I may have to go back soon. I'm still not sure. I'm just enjoying 1989 A LOT. And of course, till recently... 1987 and 1988 were not that complete on Youtube - maybe 50 percent of episodes were available... and this past year Eddie Drueding has added literally hundreds of episodes... I was waiting for something like this to happen, since I didn't want to start without a steady base of episodes I could follow. I didn't want huge gaps that could spoil all the fun. 1987-1988 are nearly 90 percent complete. 1989 is currently being uploaded. I felt it was time to start watching.

What a birthday present that will be! I'm nearly lost for words.

It's premiering 2 days AFTER my birthday (I'm going to be hitting 30). THIS IS... like... WOW. DREAM COME TRUE.

All of this sounds soo promising. I have already to see something I don't like... and I'm nearly 50 episodes in. It's just amazing. They don't make them like that anymore.

Then it's really decided... I am so obsessed with 1989 that it would have been harder to go back... and your response helped me decide. I'm sticking with the sublime 1989... and maybe if some day I ran out of episodes... I'll go back. I'm watching 1 episode a day... 2 at most, since it's sooo good I don't want to watch everything in just couple of months. And Eddie Drueding (GOD BLESS HIM, he's AMAZING) is still uploading 1989... Thank you for the advice @AbcNbc247!

It's my introduction to the show, so I must be very lucky then. Do you recommend I go back to 1986 (the first available episodes that can be called semi-complete year in youtube... 1987 and 1988 are pretty complete in various playlists...) to catch up to 1989... or should I just continue with 1989...? I'm debating myself what to do. Is 1986-1988 a good period?

That's a good question. Top 5 storylines... from this period. 1. Brooke invents the Bedroom line throwing Forrester into chaos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THKWY_9RMtM 2. Sheila's exit storyline - shooting Stephanie - one of the best showdowns in the show's history. And the build up to it was also GREAT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xwvY0T5AIE 3.Amber arrives in town and is a breath of fresh air for couple of months. Sneaks her way into Rick's life and turns into Brooke's biggest nightmare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgAd-_chOw 4. Sheila poisons Stephanie with mercury pills - Stephanie slowly goes mad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnZp_TQKiDI 5. Lauren hooks up with soon to be married to Stephanie Eric. Destroys Stephanie's wedding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn0BMpBmzbE

Thank you. So far I'm enjoying her writing. I'm 3 months into her tenure.

1995 has some great moments, so does 1996... It's a looot better than the fiasco 1994.

I could swear... KKL was almost drifting into sleep in her boring scenes with Taylee. Her facial expressions were saying - God... this show is so boring, I miss my vacations in Italy! LOL. And they are making her so vanilla, so predictable. OG Brooke would have f-cked Finn by now, just to spite Taylee and Steffy. Why is Brooke such a coward these days? All she does is cry to Ridge and ask Hope - How are you doing, sweetie. I mean... it's a record for Bradley Bell to write a character that has 200 episodes a year, but only has 2 types of scenes. LOL.

I'm officially old. 4 months left to... 30... and I just fell asleep on the coach while prepping for a trip... while my husband was doing things in the kitchen. When he saw me snoozing, he decided to leave me in peace... so I slept like 2 hours... I'm officially someone who snoozes off in the middle of the day. I've turned into my father.

Lately I've been missing the edge he used to bring... and that venom that he could bring out of certain female leads. Everything is flat nowadays... And nobody knows how to write female dialogue. It's so unrealistic. I don't want to name names... but it's bad, bad, bad. Bradley needs to do something, or soon we'll see KKL and TK writing dialogue for the show. (which may be better than what we are getting right now BTW!) 🤣

Is Donna Swajeski considered by fans to be a good writer for the show?

Amen.

A free day finally. Time to go on a little city trip.

I am sending my deepest condolences. May God be with and your family in this time.
