LOL!! Maybe EB found it flattering! For outspoken he's always been, I'm sure he didn't want to upset his boss by telling him not to call him that...haha

I'm chuckling over the thought of Bill Bell calling Eric Braeden "Honey"

So sorry to hear this!! Ive only seen snippets of him on GL and OLTL but he was a very talented, charismatic actor!

I usually consider 2002 to be the last year B&B was good, but I’m starting to feel like it was consistent till 2005. Something happen with all the soaps in 2006 and it just went downhill from there..

Ah gotcha! She really should convert those tapes!

I think your right. That looks like John McCook with her.

That's so cool!! those notes look so fascinating!! You are so lucky!! Is it confirmed if Kay has several or most of her own episodes of the show for herself?? I couldn't tell if the scene she was watching was something we already have on YT or from her personal collection.

While B&B lacks some of the production values of the past, I think it overall has one of the better looks of the current soaps. They are the only one that can still do remotes so you gotta give it to them. I actually think it was around till 2002/2003 Y&R had the best production but it honestly didn’t even look that bad past 2005 I would say….it’s been so cheap and tacky looking since JFPs reign imo.

Wishful thinking, but maybe they will finally address that Kelly is really Bill's? It would be too good for Bradley to have Steffy turn to and sleep with Bill, (again) and it being revealed Finn's not dead after all...

I wonder the real reason Bill Bell gave such a lazy end to that pairing? Most of Stuart’s daughters had send offs that sort of made sense, so couldn’t it have been too much to just have Stuart say he’s leaving GC to go live with Leslie or Lorie (and hopefully Brooks) and maybe grant Liz a quickie divorce?

Here's 7/14/88 for YT

Another generous soul (Who admits he isn't a soap fan mind you) uploaded a new 1988 episode on archive.org! I already downloaded and uploaded to YT! Give credit to @BoldRestlessfor uncovering this gem!

One thing that was sort of overlooked was Diane not getting freaked out when she ran into Mariah....thinking it was Cassie. Matt Hanvey pointed out on twitter though that Diane might have known because of GC Buzz having "Millions of viewers" either way It would have been nice if they had Diane be a little spooked at first and confusing Mariah by saying, "I thought you died".

LOL, It's kind of OTT that everyone would seem that interested in Traci's weight lost....given she looks really good, but Beth Maitland really does sell these scenes, yet I feel bad there was definitely a lot of personal stuff given to her with all this. Lauren I think actually developed into her looks more IMO about 5-6 years later...She's always been pretty, but I just think she looked better by the late 80's.

Ah, that's who Lauren's "friend" is in this clip? She reminds me of Kristian Alfonso a lot!

It seems like Bill Bell kind of revamped Angela into Lauren? I know they were two different people, but obviously TEB just knew how to ultimately amp up the bitch factor.....which I'm guessing wouldn't be the case with Angela. I'm curious about those first scenes too. I'm hoping for next year when it's TEB's 40th anniversary, we at least see a clip of her first scene like we did with Kate Linder's 40th....Unless the entire episode miraculously surfaces before then!

The current “Chancellor estate” is still ugly to me, even if they brought back the wall decor by the stairs…I’d happily take back the downsized version of the estate we got the end of MABs/beginning of JFPs tenures….

And Supposedly the very first 4th of July with Victor in 1980 he punched someone over having the same feelings as Charlie!

My sentiments exactly! and I'm sorry but the fact he pays more attention to the success the show has had abroad and their fans, VS hear in the states I think is one of the most problematic things this show has....I have this feeling they prefer the show the way it is and not what we know it can be. It's just a shame we are stuck with him till the bitter end. Y&R has been a shallow mess for years now, but at least we can still count on multiple stories being shown as bad as they've gotten.

Bill Bell I think was able to not let any network interference ruin any of his vision. I think the CBS/SONY people have been the real villains of everything wrong with the show for almost 20 years...even if there have been a lot of talentless hack writers and EP's the last few years. I'm curious of how you would describe Bradley Bell's "vision and style" for B&B considering he's been HW for almost 30 years and has made many foolish decisions and can't really sustain any long term stories for the last almost 20 years.

Thanks as always to our angels!! Love that we finally reached Sheila/Eric's marriage! I hope 1532 will be uploaded as well to see the full Lauren/Sheila wedding fight episode! I also want to see if that was Bill Bell's last HW credit before moving to Story Consultant. It actually looks like according to episode 1534 (OAD 5/5/93) that Jack Smith was Headwriter before Bradley took over full time later in the year? At least I noticed he's credited before Brad?

Ridge, Taylor and Thomas couldn't be more stupid....I can't wait to see this come back to haunt Taylor and also Thomas if it's revealed Sheila is the one who shot them.
