Ah, thanks! Did you scan the German eps? I was doing the same, haha! But I wasn't finding it and it was driving me nuts, so I feel better now

Uh yea, not much of a classic moment but I guess it has sentiment for LLB and at least it's a new scene, haha! At first, I thought this was after Who Shot Victor and Nevis, but at the end they talk about getting the engagement ring back on her finger, so this must be shortly after the Nikki/Cricket confrontation on 4/23/96.

YR starting to release vintage clips in advance of the 50th... this one is already in the vault (July '83 Victor reveals he is alive to Nikki)... fingers crossed for some fresh clips! https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/60_qYOV2vxZUg_4yIyC54oQHhvjIg9bI/?fbclid=IwAR3mGEts_S9csldyPD3bw9WzqBjEv7Nzz5A1WEUYmpr9V5X4ubej5BDyhWA

What an amazing pic, thanks!

Cool! I haven't watched them, but looking at the clip titles, could this be the same compilation that was posted on a Facebook YR group a couple years ago?

Fantastic scene!! “ But I’m not holding the check…you are” 😂

Good catch, I didn't notice that was Amy! I pulled up the full-screen vid on my big monitor, and that is not Nathan. I think Nathan doesn't debut until later in '84

Thanks... wow there is a LOT happening here, haha! Danny and Lauren are singing "Against all odds" and they don't sound as bad as they usually do. This is based on the Phil Collins song of the same name, specifically created for the Jeff Bridges movie of the same name. I haven't seen the movie but it does involve gambling/casinos, so maybe that's why their vid had that going on as well. Danny reflected in Lauren's sunglasses was 80s iconic! I appreciated the diversity of the dancers. This clip must be July '84 b/c Patty looks super-pissed, so this must be right after she found out about Danny and Traci's marriage. Ken the manager is living his best life and is not "reading the room" at all that some people in the room don't seem so happy.

@ltm1997 I watched The Talk live to see the TEB segment! It starts at 45 minutes past the hour. She looked amazing! I’ll put a summary in spoilers in case people plan to watch soon.

Things don't really improve for the rest of Cathy's run IIRC... there's a plot point in '86 (post Joshua and right before Lisa Hartman quits) that is rather heinous on Cathy's part, and seems totally plot-driven and reflecting a lack of moral compass for Cathy.

KnotsLanding.net is a beloved treasure trove of info, but one annoying quirk is that all interviews are always incorrectly marked with a current date. This Constance interview happened years ago, and it says Jan 2023! I don't know any way to identify the true interview publication date... Thank you for your meticulous documentation of Joshua's character development! I'm glad to hear it was more thought-out and long-term than I remembered. On the flip side, what's your take on the character of Cathy Geary? Thinking back, and reading your recaps, she just seems like a non-person... a cipher of a character who morphs into whatever plot point is needed. Like you said, why does she crumble and return to Joshua simply b/c he acts goofy on a scooter?

6/24/81

I’m so excited your recaps are back, Vee! My memories are a little fuzzy of this time period, so I don’t have much comment, but I’m loving your deep dives, thanks

It didn’t have any funny jokes. And NPHs character was so obnoxious. Not someone I’d want to be around at all. The closest comp is Carrie Bradshaw and SJP always kept the character rootable even when Carrie acted reprehensibly.

This isn't really the thread for that... this is more for technical issues related to the vault. Head to the classic BB thread to post a request for eps you'd like added to the vault.

Mark your calendar @ltm1997 !!

Aw, so sorry to hear that. Thanks for the update.

🤣 wait, I'm out of the loop, what's the tea here with Shemar...?

Wow… post April/Heather departure and pre JoshuaM debut…good find!

Most of ‘96 wasn’t bad. It went downhill Nov and Dec 96, worsening into the first half of ‘97 Thanks! I knew both their hairdos didn’t look like ‘89 hairdos 😂

I'm pretty sure there's some new stuff. I've definitely never seen Lauren’s sly move of putting on the ski mask... felt like something that would happen on Scooby-Doo 🤣 This was a good ep. Even though I already know how the Lisa/Brad story resolves, it still felt quite tense. The Nikki/Victor/Leanna scenes were spiky and fun! Nikki knows she’s carrying the cards and is enjoying torturing Leanna. I didn’t realize that Victor and Leanna already knew that the marriage was invalid. So I guess they decided to stay together and wait until the 6-month divorce waiting period is over. Ugh Nikki used my least favorite term ever “Heir Apparent”🙄 Doesn’t she know that only Jack can ever be the heir apparent? Bill Bell really loved to bust that phrase out at any opportunity. Cassandra seems more of a straightforward tragic heroine here. I think the writers had no idea who George’s killer would be, and hadn’t even invented the character of Adrian yet. Hmmm the Jill/Nina scene at the end… is that from the same ep? I’m almost wondering if it’s from 1987? That’s the only time I can remember them being in cahoots like that… and it’s implied that Nina is still working at Jabot…?

Eternally grateful to ChickenNuggetz!!

Thanks for posting - I enjoyed it! It helped that there was no Shick 😂 This was a transitional time where there was still some interesting plot movement. In another month or so, everything grinds to a halt. I’d say Kurt saving Ashley from the attackers around Thanksgiving is the beginning of the boring era.

That worked! Thank you so much
