B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
Thanks so much! Yeah, it is a shame about that. I'm glad to see a lot of old clips/episodes are resurfacing from time to time. A September of '96 episode appeared recently. Whether it's still up or not I have no idea, but I did manage to get a hold of it, it features Clarke rescuing C.J on the cliff from the gunmen.

This is the issue I'm having with our latest villain, Dr. Anderson. I want to see more of this character, I want to see her and her life outside of Fairview, I'd like to see how she operates when she's not plotting Nick's downfall, I'd like to see her associating with the rest of GC, just so she's not so one-dimensional. I'm loving the actress in the role and she looks like she's doing the best with what she has, but they can do so much better than this if they tried. The whole foundation of her character is based on the most tragic of circumstances, she doesn't have to be an unsympathetic psychopath just for the sake of it. Then again, I've heard CP thinks otherwise?

hahaha Oh wow, go Cricket. That's another thing I still have to check, whether or not they have the rest of the storyline with Michael digging his way into Christine's apartment. I have to say, being able to watch these episodes and see how Michael started out on Y&R is perplexing to say the very least. Hell, I almost wish some of the old Michael would pop up more often nowadays. I think that's one of the reasons having the likes of Tom, Carmine and Sheila around was so much fun.

I know the feeling. I was ecstatic when I saw they had May 20th of 1992 available to purchase, but something like 80% of the episode is missing so I didn't even bother. I'm not certain, but I was hoping that was the episode where Sheila calls Eric Forrester for the job interview. Thankfully, that was one of the clips from Bpkalamazoo that I managed to save. I think it was mostly their B&B stuff that I neglected.

haha I did manage to collect a couple of scenes, but a lot of Bpkalamazoo's stuff has been blocked in my location now unfortunately. But upon checking just now, I do have the opening to January 13 of '93 with Sheila standing out in the Grainger hallway with that loveable smirk of success on her face. On the subject, I did also collect the Masquerade Ball episodes of '91. October 1st has the first half cut off though, but 10/02-10/07 are fine.

I "enjoy" 2005 insofar as it's not as horrific as what followed in 2006 and beyond. They still retain a lot of the easily recognizable trademarks of Y&R (the music, sets, lighting, directing, even the tone and style of acting). Nevertheless, the destruction is there and the show is rotting. I would still prefer it over anything that followed, but that doesn't say much. It was Y&R in the most surface of ways. 2004 and 2005 are the reasons why Y&R was destroyed but, like I said, still better (and more interesting) to watch. I'd never dream of rewatching an LML episode. Ever. (That being said, as always, my thanks for the 2005 episodes, and anything else! YouTubing soaps ain't easy). It's all good, I'm just glad some are enjoying watching them again Oh, I agree about LML whole-heartedly. While I despise MAB for whatever the f*ck her watered-down version of Y&R was, I'm strangely finding her era a lot more tolerable than I did the first time around. It's still bad, but LML on the other hand...I struggle to get through so much as ten minutes of any of her episodes.

Not a problem at all Yeah, I'm pretty sure their affair coincides with Lauren and Michael's wedding. This was definitely a month to remember, between the affair, Lauren and Sheila trapped in the bomb shelter, John shooting Tom Fisher, etc. The Lauren and Michael wedding was re-aired so many times so it will be nice to see the episodes that build up to it...LOL (I'm still stuck in September 2005) haha I love these episodes, the whole build-up to the yacht scenes were spectacular. I must admit, I do get a kick out of the scenes between 'Jennifer' and Lauren, even if I do get a chuckle of how the hell Lauren of all people couldn't recognise her through that disguise I have to admit though, the Mac/J.T/Kevin scenes and the rest of the young generation bore the absolute living hell out of me. I get the feeling i'd be more lenient towards Mac if Ashley Noel Bashioum was still portraying her. She's the only rendition of the character that grew on me.

(2005-11-21) (2005-11-22) (2005-11-23) (2005-11-28) (2005-11-29) (2005-11-30) I have all episodes from 2011 to present, so if YouTube doesn't block them, I'd be happy to upload them for you. That is fabulous thank you Sheila was deliciously evil in those scenes, and I LOVED the music they played it was freaky as hell. Soap operas are most interesting when the have an element of horror to it! I have to agree there, I love it when Y&R gets really morbid. Another one of my favourites was when the supposedly dead Cameron Kirsten was 'haunting' Sharon back in 2004. And I can't forget about David Kimble. I didn't even know of him until I joined these boards.

haha I hope there's the obligatory laugh at Lily's scream No matter how many times I watch, I cannot look at CK's reaction and think she wasn't excited about the prospect of VR going over that cliff. Sheila and Tom, I can't deny, I thought those two had amazing chemistry, both when they were allies and enemies. They bounced off one another really well, it almost reminds me of the Sheila/Mike days on B&B in a way. I'm disappointed they killed him off so fast, but mainly because of what happens to John Abbott afterwards. I'm guessing Phyllis becomes her unbearable self when the whole Phick thing/feud with Sharon starts up? I find it weird how oddly likeable I'm finding her here as opposed to how much she annoys me by 2007. On a side note, not gonna lie, I've been loving the character since GT took over the role.

So far I have the first half of January, three episodes from April, Nov 10th, and Dec 26-29.

I finally was able to catch up some more haha....I actually just finished the 9-1-2005 episode....(My 15th Birthday LOL) I thought the scenes of Gloria standing up to Tom were really good.....again I know she ate the show alive, but I always get reminded that Judith is an excellent actress even though all the stuff with Gloria basically flopped in the next couple of years, which is probably why Judith decided to focus more on her theatre stuff... I feel like a writer who was less conservative would have made Kevin and Scotty a couple...LOL I don't ever want to see Rikaart in a gay story though he is in real life, but I can't help but noticed he does have strange chemistry with Redford here...IMO I don't get why they had Sheila change wigs with the Jennifer disguise here, unless she started out as someone else...It's a shame the alliance with Tom made it impossible for Sheila to interact with more people during this return.... I guess this was one of Shemar's final cameos (before coming last year) as Malcolm.....Kind of weird but I never really feel like whenever I watch old episodes while Malcolm was still on, he was really on the show that much.....I know he was, but perhaps it's just lots of 1994-2002 2004-2005 episodes aren't on youtube besides a handful maybe...and he's only on one of my 94 and 95 episodes... Back when everyone thought Khalil was leaving for good...LOL I still can't believe they brought Lily back with a capable actress in Davetta, yet they was all blown apart cause somebody though Khalil was the "ideal" Lily and we have been stuck with her ever since....ughhh...they would have never paired Cane with LIly if Davetta was still there I bet... I didn't realize Devon and Sierra were that good friends.....and it was nice to see the original Yolanda before they F**ked it up with the horrible YoHARMONY retconned with Debi Morgan and Stephen Nichols.... I honestly could have seen maybe Malcolm getting with Yolanda here to help clean up her act.....if only they were more invested to these characters or Shemar didn't get his rise to primetime... Nick and Daniel scenes were ok....though I'm guessing we don't see much of Daniel until the following winter when DS Lily returns.. In less than three years Gloria went from an amusing recurring character to a primary lead. It was especially irritating because when Y&R wasn't using Jill to prop Gloria Y&R was using Gloria to marginalize Jill. Between Victor & Katherine suddenly deciding Gloria was a corporate powerhouse to Traci & Billy being marginalized so Y&R could throw Jack & Ashley under the bus Gloria didn't just eat the show alive. She consumed it whole. Jill & Lauren being sisters made absolutely no sense but it would've been a lot more tolerable if Jill had been in Gloria's place during the Abbott Face Cream wars. Y&R wasted Shemar (which was ridiculous because they promised him huge story to get him to return) which is why he left abruptly & stayed away for close to a decade. Devon & Sierra had great chemistry but were dropped so Devon (like Danny & Cricket earlier) could go under the bus for Daniel who was useless until Davetta was cast. I wonder if MAB had any big plans for Gloria after she got exposed for the Face Cream sham.....It seemed like Gloria was getting phased out right after that whole debacle and the Kay/Marge redux stuff of her being in jail with Katherine.......I think Judith decided to pursue more outside theatre work which is why she dropped to recurring....I feel like now it's JFP/Pratt who doesn't have use for Gloria (which is probably one of their better options anyways) I agree that Jill could have easily just had Gloria's stories, though I would have hated her being shunned by everybody during the aftermath of the face cream stuff... I guess they just wanted a reaction from fans then actually coming up with story when it came to Shemar (much like last year though that was a 2 day guest stint) there was absolutely no point at all for horrible Darius McCray to come on as Malcolm for that awful 2009-2011 stint....such a disgrace recast.... Devon and Sierra did look nice together.....I really just don't get why no one at this show realizes all the mistakes that should never have been made, I guess it's obvious what too many egos will do, though I still believe that CBS/SONY are the real evil's here for everything that has happen the last decade.... I'm not going to lie, while I certainly don't miss Judith being onscreen as much as she was once upon a time, I do love whenever she pops up onscreen. But yeah, I have to agree, keeping the likes of Gloria, Traci, etc. offscreen during the latest regime means that they're safe from being completely massacred. The one character I can honestly say I'm enjoying more under Pratt's reign is Ian Ward, but it helps that I'm a huge Twin Peaks fan more than anything. Darius McCray as Malcolm...there's a nightmare I just cannot shake no matter how hard I try. Especially going through 2010-present again, I assumed that it wouldn't bother me as much this time around, but...no. I cannot believe they actually went ahead with that. It's best to have Traci and Gloria off our screens so they won't get ruined anymore....I'm at least glad Traci is returning for Christmas, and I'm sure Gloria will make a surprise appearance when we least expect it...I also will admit after that appearance on B&B from last year, maybe Gloria could successfully relocate to L.A and come out with her own fashion line? I will never understand the insane Darius McCray ordeal....what they ever saw in him was a mystery, and it was probably all just to get more buzz..... anyways I just finished watching the 9-6-05 episode... Amelia is really sounding and acting a lot like HT in these early scenes of her as Victoria....again it's a shame they decided they weren't ever going to write for a strong Victoria again, cause I'm almost convince if she stayed like this it would have been a lot better today.....maybe not....but anything's possible....That woman who played that Leslie woman was Elizabeth Storm who was also Sheridan's mother Katherine on Passions when she was still only a ghost....(she came back for real later played by Leigh-Taylor Young) The Tom/John scenes are an example of why I still miss Jerry Douglas even if he still comes back as a ghost....he certainly took on a level of badass this time.....punching Victor not too long before this episode then threatening Tom... Michael and Gloria together with Kevin look more like they can be his parents......I know it's nothing new when they cast children and parents who are only like 5-10 years older in real life, but Gloria and Michael here come off as less convincing as Mother/Son..... I'm surprised the Winters still got a handful of story during this time...I guess I'm saying this because I feel like Devon spent so many years on the backburner before they did more with him the last coupel years and he certainly has been on a lot these episodes...I guess that started during LML of him getting backburned and lasted through most of MAB's run... They really took their time with the Nick and Sharon breaking apart didn't they? I guess it's good it wasn't really rushed though I still hate how Nick sleeping with Phyllis will forever be the death knell of Nick and Sharon ever getting back together (well that and the writers thinking Sharon is just this psychotic freak)... Funny you should mention HT as Victoria, I just acquired Nikki and Victor's wedding from September 4th, 2002. Talk about a blast from the past, there were a few moments there that I had to remind myself that this is a 13 year old episode and the likes of Brad, Olivia and HT as Victoria are now off the radar. I was even pleased to see Isabella there at the wedding as odd as that sounds. While I abhor the way Sharon's been written since Cassie's death, I almost get the vibe from time to time that SC's really having fun with some of the material she's given. If that is the case, I kind of get a kick out of it to be honest. But when I hear the likes of Nikki and Phyllis constantly demonize her like she's the black sheep of GC...they can't honestly expect us to be siding with those two. I went through an MAB episode the other day, I'm sure it was near Victor and Sharon getting married, and Nikki was accusing Sharon of attempting to become her by taking over her life, and Sharon retorting with 'You started on a pole and wound up in a bottle. Why in God's name would I want to emulate that?' had me cheering.

I can tolerate the crazy sometimes...as long as it's done for the right occassion.... Yeah, apparently Braeden was tired, and wanted out to do more movies.....I guess they talked him into staying....this was also before the infamous brawl he and Bergman got to so that wasn't a factor.... It just surprises me cause I feel like Braeden always makes it known he's NOT a quitter so if this was true he obviously didn't feel that way over almost 25 years ago...then again the article got his age wrong saying he was 47, when he was 49-50 in 1991 so perhaps it was all a lie.... Yeah, I can handle the insanity such as this that the likes of Sheila can bring, but doppelgängers and such, not so much. Yeah, I can't see Victor going anywhere anytime soon. Between him, Stefano and Alf Stewart on Home and Away, they're going to be around forever. I don't care if I ever hear the word doppelganger again LOL... Yeah Victor's here to stay (unfortunately).....I hoped they realized that doing the stupid Marco stuff really ruined the character more then the others have, but it's probably too late.... Amen! It's funny, around the time when speculation was that there was 'another Jack' in GC, I thought 'No, there's no way they'd do this again. Marge, Sheila, Sugar, Sarah, Patty, there ain't no way they're pulling this card again.' And we're literally two episodes away here in Australia from that whole Marco thing going to air. I used to look at Victor like I look at Bill Spencer Jr, he did horrible things, but I always found him oddly likeable. Now, not so much. Ever since that whole Patty fiasco and Colleen's death.
