The thing I will miss about the BM channel was the subtitles. I managed to archive everything 1-2 years ago and yes, we still have the vault for which I'm sooo grateful... the issue for me... is that I forgot to download the subtitles from youtube (the automatic captions) and I would use them when watching... a lot, especially when the quality was lacking and the youtube AI somehow managed to create subtitles. And, of course... the fact that you can just click on the youtube app on the tv and watch. It's way easier that having to connect a drive to the TV, open up the folders and search. These channel-takedowns horrify me. I hope to God something like this doesn't happen to the AW videos currently being uploaded. Again, I'm downloading everything the second it hits youtube... but still. In Chris Crocker's words from 2007 - LEAVE... THE SOAP EPISODES... ALONE!

As I recall the entire year of 2003 is on youtube, I think uploaded 2 or 3 times by different uploaders. If they have missed a certain episode, tell me the date and I'll search in my collection. I should have full 2003, even though I haven't checked the folders. Yes!!! It's just on the verge of being... too broken up. Like she's acting. And that was even more apparent when Max came to see her in the next episode... and suddenly when Asa was not around or looking... Blair was on her feet and acting like she's fine. Love a fox that knows how to use an injury to her advantage. 😂 The makings of a true antagonist.

Heather Tom with her 20 episodes so far... is barely here... almost gone.

Up to May 15th, 1992. 💍 "Marry me, Blair!" I'm so excited that... I'm actually watching mid-May 1992 episodes. This is my 8th month of the show and considering that the episodes are 40+ minutes and there aren't many missing (2-3 missing so far I think)... I can't believe I still haven't been bored or fed up (which I usually am at a certain point with all the soaps). On the contrary - it's becoming better and better. I'm definitely putting OLTL as my number 1 classic soap. I've found my biggest obsession. 🔷 So what is going on right now? 🔷 Let me start with the big stuff first. After searching for Agatha for 2 days, Max and Blair found her in Max's attic. She had regressed to a child-like state. Soon Max and Blair were joined by Dorian who finally faced her sister after 4 decades. Blair accused Dorian of deserting Agatha and before that - tormenting her and driving her insane. Dorian had another version of the story - all of the details that Blair knew, all of the abuse that Agatha blamed Dorian for... were actually things that Dorian survived at the hands of Agatha. When Agatha told Blair that Dorian cut her with scissors, it was actually Agatha stabbing Dorian in the back. Dorian even showed Blair her scars. In the end of the episode, Addie jumped from the window. She survived with a broken hand and was admitted to the hospital. 🔷 Leanne Demerest did what she does best - she self-sabotaged by kissing Jason. Of course, in a typical soap opera fashion... the idiot Kevin saw it. The young "couple" had a huge fight which led to Kevin and Jason to a physical altercation. When the rest of the family found out what happened, Leanne was once again on the receiving end of Asa Buchanan's threats. This time deservedly so. Victoria tried to reason with her with no success. Why is Victoria even trying? Leanne is a lost cause. And then... as stupid as Kevin is, he blamed his family for alienating Leanne and... wanted to give her another chance. Jesus Christ. I have to remind myself that he is still very young, practically a kid... so I can't blame him. 🔷 A search warrant was issued for Sarah and Bo's apartment. Sarah and Bo found a strange gun in the house couple of days ago, which Sarah claimed to have no recollection where it came from. Bo presumed that it was probably planted by Alex. They had been hiding it till now... Before the search... Andrew tried to stop Cassie and Maggie from entering telling them to give Sarah "a chance"?! WTF. Move away, reverend and let the girls do their job, please. And let me tell you, when Sarah was busted... her whole demeanor changed. Suddenly she appeared menacing. She pointed the gun at Maggie and then... managed to escape. Is this our killer? I'm not sure anymore. But they better wrap this up, before it gets boring. Wrap it up! 🔷 In the aftermath of finding out that Dorian was not the evil woman she believed she was... Blair was in deep despair. She wanted to do something impulsive that will make her forget for a moment, so she went out for a ride on one of Asa's horses. Without any safety measures, Blair fell down and Asa found her unconscious. Instead of transporting her to a hospital, Asa put her in one of the bedrooms and hired a private doctor to take care of her. Cain Rogan tried to intervene and told him that Blair is a dangerous opportunist. Of course, just as Blair was all cozy recovering in one of Asa's beds, Renee came to collect some of her belongings. Not knowing that Blair is sleeping in the bedroom, she opened the door and saw her. Renee stormed out and ran to inform Victoria of what she had seen. Cain Rogan shocked the Buchanans with even scarier news - he told them that Asa wanted to marry Blair. Realizing what was about to happen and what kind of monster was going to rule their family, Victoria decided it's time to STOP Blair. In one of the best scenes in the show so far! (The clip of the day) Victoria's voice dripped with honey, her face... sunny and sweet... but the truths she was saying were piercing to the core. The "kill-them-with-kindness" queen Victoria... delivered. 🔷 The biggest loser in all of this... right now is Max Holden. He thought that Blair had finally opened up to him, he was so sure that they were going to be together, but Blair pulled the rug underneath him again. He found out that she was staying with Asa... and completely lost it. Seeing a man be so distraught over a woman is a nice change to seeing the opposite on soaps all the time. Luna (who the writers have lost interest in... in my opinion) tried to stop him going after Blair, but that made Max even more angry. For some reason I enjoy seeing the womanizer Max being put in his place. He dumped Leanne like a dog... so he deserves this as his karma. Overall - 10 out of 10! Clip of the day - Victoria confronts Blair about infiltrating the Buchanan family.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. WHAAAAAAAT. This is horrifying. Blake Marler's channel was a treasure. No... No... No... This is sooo devastating. What the hell is going on... first the amazing Jim Muneco, now Blake...

Yessssssssssss!

Pretty much everything on Bold since end of 2019. Something happened during the COVID era... and the show never recovered. Not that it was some masterpiece before that, but it was a corpse that used to have few heartbeats a year. 2020-2025, there's just no pulse anymore. It's a zombie of a show. A caricature of it's former self. Not 1 storyline decision makes sense. It seems that Bradley is writing the show on autopilot. Every few weeks we get a horror movie twist. Then every few months everything is nulled and back at starting point. Bold didn't use to be like that. Not to that extent. It was deeply rotten, yes, but... it was the taboo sex show where you can indulge yourself in watching stupid men and women. What he's done after 2020 is nightmarish. The show completely lost it's atmosphere and became a bad Lifetime thriller that repeats the same dialogue 5 days a week. Too much creepy stuff, disgusting images of feet without toes, shootings next to piles of trash, creepy mints, serial killers, figures watching from the distance, idiotic stalkers... Deacon googling what is SUGAR. Need I say more.

🤣

Thank you @Errol ❤️

His look is perfect for DAYS. God, if only we got studs like this on Bold. Instead we have to watch women praise Ridge like he is the second coming of Christ.

If I was her, I would stay in Italy and enjoy my time in Europe... where people appreciate me and treat me nice. The show is giving her dirt-material and it's so depressing seeing it. Brooke has been neutered to a state of nothingness.

I remembered his name. Dr. Jonas and he's played by Christopher Durham.

7. Rebecca Budig (Dr. Taylor Hayes) - 61 8. Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan Forrester) - 59 The fact that Rebecca Budig aka Fake Taylor has more episodes than KKL is telling. Also... I think this is the least active KKL year... in a long time. People who constantly blame her for problems should think twice. Thank you for posting @jcar03!

Thank you @YRfan23 ❤️ and @jcar03!

I'm not feeling the current Maggie at all. The actress is really wooden compared to the other talent in the show. She is improving very slowly, but still sometimes I can feel her saying her dialogue as fast as possible. She and Andrew have 0 chemistry. Andrew has the most chemistry with some of the guys in the show if you ask me. Especially that hot psychiatrist that got Sarah addicted to drugs. I forgot his name - the cute one with the blond hair that looks like he is an escort. Andrew and him have more chemistry than he has with Maggie. 😂

Up to May 7th, 1992. 🫣 "SHE'S ALIVE. AGATHA'S ALIVE!" This is one of my personal records. 7 episodes in 24 hours! I binged in portions through the day, when I had free time. In my work break, after work, before sleep, I ended up falling asleep at 3-30 in the morning, because I couldn't stop. 🔷 So what is going on right now? 🔷 The Carlo Hesser murder investigation is starting to drag a bit. Not much, but it's definitely coming to a place where it isn't that interesting anymore. We have too many people getting constantly arrested and released. It makes the entire thing circus-like. First we had another attempt to arrest Asa, that ended with a devastating blow to his marriage. Just as when Renee was about to forgive him and give him a second... (or more like 100th) chance... Blair came out of the shadow to give Asa a fake alibi - she lied to the police that she spent the night with Asa. Renee thought this was true and all hell broke loose. 🔷 Victoria is getting more and more interested in Sloan Carpenter, she even organized a dinner in his honor. We saw glimpses of his toxic relationship with Andrew - Sloan despises that his son is too sensitive and not macho enough. The thing that he is most proud of... is that Andrew killed a man in Jaba city. Sloan met with the entire town and his comment when he saw drunken Asa Buchanan calling Renee "a tramp" for the millionth time... was "What kind of people are these?" or something like that. I'm starting to adore his passive aggressive Joan Crawford-style remarks. It's very entertaining and we need that kind of superiority-complex male. 🔷 Troy asked Sheila to marry him. It was romantic and special, but Sheila did not immediately say "Yes", which is a red flag. She confessed to Andrew that she feels very attracted to Hank, in a way that no other man makes her feel. It's the classic bad guy vs good guy female drama. And Sheila is playing with fire. Andrew took her to the local bar (now that's what I expect from a person of good faith), where she sang "Natural woman" and got a steamy kiss from Hank at the end of the performance. What Sheila did after was typical - she ran away and accepted Troy's proposal. It's getting really messy and I love it. I like the battle of the two mustaches. 🔷 After releasing Asa, the police got enough evidence (provided by Cord and Tina, but that's a long story that I don't want to bore you with) to arrest Alex Olanov. We got a very campy, over the top scene in which she was eating a luxury meal with romantic setting... and threatening Maggie with a knife from her cell. Who the hell gave her a knife, that kind of food and even candles to put in her cell?! This show is usually not that campy, so this was a strange decision. We don't need to get cartoon network so fast. A little minus. 🔷 Now let's get to the most interesting part. Dorian went to confront Blair about digging in her past. That's when she saw Addie (Agatha). In the culmination of the scene, Agatha attacked Dorian with the scissors and then escaped. Blair went after her. Dorian was left alone in Cassie's apartment... where she found an album full of newspaper clippings and pictures, showing the full extent of Blair's obsession. Dorian reached the breaking point and emotionally unraveled on the floor of the apartment. Overall - 10 out of 10! Clip of the day - Dorian breaks down. Yes, it's Mommie Dearest-Faye Dunaway level of melodrama, but... forgive me - I LOVE IT. ddddddddddddd.mp4
