“It’ll be a Bold and Beautiful moment!”

Yep!

@ChickenNuggetz92 you’re our all-year Santa! Thank you!

If only they would show 1981 Victor and Nikki’s first Christmas! Way more relevant than a 2003 episode… Pardon me…? 😂 I must have blocked that one out. Wasn’t Nina supposed to be Raul’s mom before TC quit? Lauren is definitely supposed to be older than Nina!

I think Maria Arena Bell has plans for Thom Bierdz to be a major character in a romance with the lawyer named Rafe, but those plans never came together... mainly due to Thom's lackluster acting. I remember he wrote an article in SOD a few months after his return, explaining and apologizing for his acting choices.

Excellent summary, @janea4old, thank you! Just one minor point... Billy Miller was on-screen as Billy Abbott 2009-10 when Thom Bierdz returned as Phillip. I don't know a specific episode, but I imagine that Billy and Phillip shared scenes.

Thanks… thought I checked everywhere before posting but guess not

Don’t watch current BnB but seems like a bone-headed move to let Krista Allen go like this https://deadline.com/2023/12/the-bold-the-beautiful-krista-allen-taylor-hayes-leaving-show-1235669419/

I guess Bnb had to let Lauren Koslow go, in order to clear a contract slot for Kimberlin Brown.

Thank you so much to the '96 Anonymous Angel who just uploaded a big batch of eps!

Maybe Joe LaDue's random exit was due to Jeanne Cooper's absence from the majority of the first half of '81 (perhaps because she was in rehab...? she mentions rehab in her memoir but doesn't provide dates). There was such a set-up in fall '80 to have Kay marooned on the island with Felipe and then seems like it wrapped up in 1-2 eps at the beginning of '81. Would make sense if the writers had to craft a quick exit for JC.

They did lots of retcons around that time... like in '93 how "crazy Eve" was completely ignored. So it's even stranger that just last week, the show acknowledged "crazy Eve" with that flashback!

I wonder if there was ever a scene in the 90s where Jill meets Cole and says “Remember me? You and your mom were boarders in my home when you were a toddler 😂

Wow! Is this site related to the official BnB channel? How do they have access to the full catalog in HQ?

Ellen’s op-ed from NYT 8/10/69 https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1969/08/10/issue.html

💯 I can barely make it through all these scenes without fast-forwarding. They are so cringe. Elizabeth Sung and Phillip Moon were talented actors and it sucks that they were stuck with such stilted dialogue.

I am currently watching 11/8/94 where Jack reveals to Keemo that he is Keemo's father, and Jack says "I honestly think you'll grow to like me" and I had to snicker as I never grew to like Peter Bergman's portrayal of Jack after 34 years 🤣

Here's Brett's exact airdates: Dec 08, 09, 10, 12, 15 1986 Mar 09 - 13 & 17 - 20 1987

He also subbed for a few eps in March ‘87. I think he would have made a better full-time replacement than Peter Bergman.

I would also blame Phyllis for the show-eating during this period.

Thank you so much! I watched 2001 and 2002 a couple years ago, so probably won't be revisiting that era in the near future. It's wonderful to know that your high-quality versions are being added to the archive.

Paul kind of was the standby at the time, in 1994, but by 1998, when the truth came out of everything Phyllis did, and Cricket could make a clear informed choice between Paul and Danny.... she chose Paul.

And then in his second season, the accent disappeared.

Anyone watch live today? I set "record" on my Hulu DVR but for some reason it's delayed. Wondering if there were any "new" vintage clips...

Hmm I see what you mean about 2/28/95 not being in the vault... but I swear to god I just watched it! 😂 based on this below recap I found from the old 90s soaps message boards. I'm away from home for work so can't check my downloaded files now. When I get home, if I find it, I'll reply back. 2/28/95: BRAD/LAUREN/SHEILA/ERIC/MARJORIE Lauren's Executive Office (in case you didn't know that's what kind of office it is, we are given several closeups on the nameplate throughout the show):  Lauren is busy clearing her desk in preparation for her trip to LA when Brad enters. After rehashing the fact that Lauren in on her way to LA and Forrester Creations, Brad wants to know her game plan. Now we rehash the James/Sheila stuff. Brad wonders if Lauren is actually planning on seeing Sheila. Eric Forrester's Office (I don't know if it's an Executive Office or not since they did not let me see the nameplate. Perhaps the office is waiting to be promoted to Executive Office and didn't want to be compared to Lauren't Executive Office.): Sheila is on the phone playing power executive. She has a snit when she can't get her way with the person on the other end. The guy I think is Eric comes in and gives her several things to do for him, including booking a suite at the Four Seasons for Fenmore for tonight. Sheila quietly freaks. Eric is confused about why this should surprise her. Sheila thinks he could save Lauren a long plane flight by sending her a catalog. Eric says Lauren doesn't mind the flight and besides, they are good friends. He leaves. Sheila slams her notepad down and wonders what the h*!! Lauren is up to. Lauren's Executive Office: Brad is concerned about what Lauren will do if she has to socialize with Sheila and warns her to stay as far away from Sheila as possible. Lauren feels she can handle Sheila and besides, they have some unresolved business and it's time to put an end to that.  Lauren says Sheila put her through living h*!! and it's time for her to pay for what she did. Brad thinks that revenge could be dangerous but he can't change Lauren's mind. So he warns her to be careful. (Now, isn't Brad the one who didn't want Ashley to go on vacation with the harmless Blade and had to tag along to protect her? But he's going to let Lauren go off to rendevous with a homicidal maniac with only a stern warning? Nice boyfriend, real helpful guy.) Eric's Forrester's Incognito Office: Sheila is ranting to herself. She can't let Lauren come here. She has to stop her. Using Eric's address book, she calls the airlines to get a seat on the next flight to Genoa City. To show how very important this is, she agrees to accept a seat in the coach section as it is all that is left. It leaves in an hour. The Elevator and Hallway at Fenmore's: Sheila arrives on the elevator. (Gee, traveling coach is rough. There weren't even any seats in that thing.) She opens the Executive Office door without knocking and is distressed to see that Margaret, no uh, Marily, no that's not it, uh Marjorie, yes that's it Marjorie is still there. She knows that Marjorie will recognize her and not let her anywhere near Lauren. She places a call to Marjorie from the handy Just For Sheila pay phone outside the Executive Office and pretends to be from the recieving dock. Marjorie tries to blow her off but eventually Sheila convinces her she must go down to recieving to sign for a package from Paris (ou la la!) Lauren's Executive Office: Marjorie lets Lauren know where she is going. Lauren in sitting on a couch opening letters with a sharp letter opener when the phone rings. She crosses to her desk and puts down the opener. (No, no pick it back up! Can't you hear the music? AIEEEEE!) Hallway at Fenmore's: Sheila watches Marjorie leave and enters stealthily, trailed by loud, eerie music. Lauren's Executive Office: Lauren has seated herself in the chair behind her desk and is conveniently turned facing away from the door as Sheila, trailing her music and heavy breathing sound effects, enters. She immediately spots the sharp letter opener and makes a move for it just as Lauren is hanging up. Sheila doesn't get it although I don't see why, Lauren couldn't have stopped her. She just wimped out. Lauren says the Y&R line (Sunday School version): Sheila, what the H*!! are you doing here? Sheila couldn't wait to see her, they need to talk. Lauren reminds her that she is on her way to LA momentarily. In fact she has a dinner date with Sheila's husband tonight. Sheila is not thrilled.
