I'm totally down for that! 🥰

Oh I pray they won't do that time jump nonsense! LOL I definitely don't want days to drag out Passions style long, but I do hope it's the typical depending on the story certain events maybe last about a week? If they are able to do any remotes that would be welcome! especially to show up B&B. Only difference is that I hope BTG would make the most out of their remotes story wise...

Given that this isn't being filmed in LA (Right?) That definitely gives it an opportunity to have a slightly better production then what we are seeing now on the soaps (Even though Y&R has slowly improved I agree) I admit though it will be weird if it does look more like a "primetime" show then a typical looking soap opera, if they do indeed go with the UK approach. I'm not saying I could get use to it, but right now it's just me visualizing watching this 5 days a week. Haha, if we see no angels, Witches, Dolls, demons, and an outside carnival during it's first weeks on air I think we are in good shape for BTG! 🤣😂 Given that MVJ worked at B&B, I do hope down the line we do have a modern day version of Stephanie vs. Brooke, or Katherine vs Jill, or any story about a Poor young vixen daughter turning the town's older wealthy Bitchy Matriarch's life upside down! LOL

Not that I'm not hoping for a lot of fresh ideas and content, but It will be fun to see if we all end up seeing nods to the other soaps during the first week! Particularly since it's airing on CBS if we see any early Y&R or B&B parallels that Michele might borrow?

I only started watching Passions daily after it's second year, even though I saw a handful of episodes beforehand. It will definitely be nice though, going into a new soap with a more "adult" perspective, if that makes sense? LOL I'm also still trying to visualize how a brand new soap opera will even look in 2025. Like will it look modern, old fashioned, or will they kind of use more of a modern UK approach to the production of the show? Here's hoping for a sneak preview soon of what we will actually be looking at!

It’s crazy how surreal it’s becoming that I’m actually going to be around to see a soap operas premiere! I mean I was alive when Passions debuted, but to actually be there for the very beginning to me is crazy!

Wow, so awesome! thanks so much and a big welcome too!

Don't know if this was mentioned yet, but Kay on Y&R had two funerals for her fake deaths First in 1979, and the other in 2008, during the Marge/Kay redux story.

Nice rare pic! Probably from 1976 or late 1975?

In Bradley's 1950's mind, ain't never gonna happen....🙄

B&B seems to not have issues with music rights from what I've seen, then again I'm sure that's something Brad Bell made sure of when they started sharing the episodes. I wonder if he paid for all of that, or something with the show's international market helped chipped in?

That's so great!! Just imagine having all those episodes in such pristine quality!

I'm telling you, I really think the whole "Blood Forrester Clause" story is really needed to shut those two up!

If that's one thing we get thank Brad Bell for (whether it's really to his credit or not), It's been great he's released almost the entire archive of episodes to the B&B channel.....Who knows what hold CBS/SONY have with that?

Maybe the classic music will slowly make its way back? I mean we got some during the Nate/Nathan Sr flashbacks, though i guess they already tend to use classic music only when they show old scenes.

Yeah that’s why I think the shows last good year was 2002. Everything 1987-2002 (flaws and all) is classic B&B and 2003-onwards, well..isn’t…lol I guess maybe in a way 2003-2005 wasn’t that bad, but a lot can be said for some of the more recent years where there’s a string of good episodes before everything falls apart again…

I don’t want to get a bunch of hopes up but I was just thinking how awesome it would be that with Ed Scott being back, he’s gonna take a page from B&Bs official channel and get them to start adding episodes from the beginning!🙏🙏

Which is why Thudley already thought: "why not another"! and to add more fuel to the fire, both Steffy and Taylor already knew Thomas broke it off with Paris, but are keeping it from Hope, because no way in hell will he saddle with a LOGAN!!!

I can see the spoilers already: "Hope and Carter are enjoying their first Thanksgiving together...when a familiar face (Thomas) appears at her door"....🙄

Who the hell knows anymore......Thudley doesn't even remember yesterday's scripts, let alone who's suppose to be on contract on his show....🤣🙄

I know Y&R tried to do this with Jack/Ashley not too long ago, but I’m so tired of Steffy at this point I just want B&B to go there with the “blood Forrester clause” story that pushes Ridge, Steffy and RJ out because they aren’t Forresters by blood.

Haha, I’m definitely going overboard but yes my main beef is always how Steffy even when she was more “immature” in the past was always being a judge-mental shrew against the Logan’s…..Thudley has never allowed the proper clap backs and self awareness to be made by anyone in regards to Steffys character, and that’s where the problem lies and if things were different I’d think I’d somewhat enjoy what was happening now with “Hope being turned into her mother”, but I just can’t with Steffys hypocrisy anymore……when is it gonna be brought up about her going after Oliver when he was dating Hope?, or using her sexuality to drive Bill away from Katie, or deciding she had to have Liam for herself, and basically helped create that dreaded triangle after she watched her own mom be humiliated by her father and Brooke all those years….its not good story telling for Thudley to just be like: “I’m gonna turn Steffy into her grandmother because we need that matriarch figure through she’s still pushing 40, she’s the perfect predecessor!” I know it’s nothing new for Thudley just to go on the whim with this stuff but it’s just gotta so bad, I can’t take it anymore…..
