Agreed! I'm so excited. I do hope they will pull out stuff that's not online though.

I posted this is the Video Thread, but here's the 1993 Soap Opera Update awards. I had them gathering dust for a while and wanted to post.

Here's some more 1991 and 1993 uploads everyone! I decided to upload the VTM version of the Christmas Eve 1991 episode, as it contains a scene not in the 2001 rebroadcast that I just posted...also I'm adding the complete version of the May 25, 1993 episode. @BoldRestless Posted that one, but it had the last 2 segments missing. I think it was a mistake I got that date since it was on some March 1993 discs, but it's still good we have it nonetheless. Here's the download link for June 29, 1993....of course blocked from YT... http://www.mediafire.com/file/q3ye842dy0uguf7/June_29%2C_1993.mp4/file

Thank you so much!!

Ok, it works when I click on your link! that's very weird...maybe it is just a site issue?

I don't see the 4 seasons?? it does kind of look like it's being reconfigured....Should I try creating an account?

Yes! It's not like they were getting posted illegally.....I wonder what caused them to discontinue if that's the case??

Terrible news...but it seems like they are no longer adding episodes to the Dutch Site? https://www.videoland.com/series/1161/the-bold-classics/2382 I translated the message on top and it said: "This item is no longer available"

So it’s different then the 900 numbers??😁

I guess this is my time to start watching these episodes again as It will answer a lot of questions about the rest of this Angela story.... Y&R under Bill Bell did seem to have those weird time jump problems too, but I would think that was something BB never really adjusted to with the hour format. I figured B&B is easier to just wipe certain times and days clean within the next couple of episodes.

S3 Episode 619 is Jeff Trachta's first appearance as Thorne #2, OAD September 13, 1989.

Yeah It always boiled down to the emotions of the characters and how they played off of one another...that seemed to build up the tension and bring it to the surface, then fizzle it out when needed, if that makes sense...it's part of the DNA of Bill Bell's Y&R! Thanks for that @yrfan1983! I've never seen that promo! Man to actually see more of those episodes!

I might be wrong to say this, but I think Bill Bell was never all that great with the more "action" like events the show did....It's not a bad thing, but I can't argue other soaps did those type of scenes better. Bill was more of a psychological soap writer, playing out all the emotional beats until the climax, which is why a lot of later writers ruined the show trying to make it like every other soap.

The Newmans definitely became more prominent in the 90's and led many stories, but they should not have taken over the show completely. I think the balance was pretty good up until the time Heather Tom left, and they decided that Nick and Sharon should be leading the next generation of Newman stories....of course we've had nothing but the same stories year after year of Nick being an overgrown frat boy, and them dismantling Sharon, Nikki is mostly a glorified prop to support Victor, Victoria is a wet blanket,while Victor has been written OTT and OOC for over a decade....ok he's a little better now, but I can't forget all the terrible writing they forced upon us with the Newmans, while phasing out most of the other vets.

I think it's been ever since Eileen has done both Y&R and Days they consider her this "superwoman" who can do anything, and to not have her on their show would be a "big deal" to them...it's so stupid and I personally feel they could have Brenda back anytime they wanted...not that the writing for her would be good or anything. They definitely were grooming Jill to eventually "takeover" Katherine's place as the "head" of the town, just as I think the show was grooming Nina to be the next Jill given Jill's hatred for her and their own battles....I think a lot of that was squashed in the early/mid 2000's when they decided the Newmans would unfortunately always be the main family...

Interesting....Nothing against Carolyn who always looked good for her age, but I figured Marlena was meant to be a younger role anyways.

Your welcome guys! I miss Jill being front and center so much. I know Jess is enjoying being "semi-retired", but I can probably write so much for Jill to do then any of the writers the show's had for the last decade.... Brenda Epperson was just at Eric Braeden's 40th party and made a video of her being there. You can tell she would return in a heartbeat if they asked....Unfortunately they are too fixated on Eileen....no offense to her....

LOL nonsense!!!! your so welcome!

Here's a couple more 1992 and a 1993 episode I was also sent.

Thanks again to the generous FB guy, here's a few more 1992 uploads I was just sent. There's more coming, but figured I'd get started with these.

Thanks! Is that Casey dumping the drink on that guy?

Haha never thought of that!

Looks like it! funny enough this episode was when Phillip died ..we have the end credits but not the episode...damn!

Haha I loved that!! EB seems like he's hysterical to work with! Here's another funny blooper with that starts at 0:12 I always wanted to see more blooper reels with other actors from various years!
