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.

@YRfan23 have you seen 1984/1985, 2/24 and 2/27/95? It has key Sheila scenes you will love. Sheila finally tells Mike about her past with Lauren. They're good flashbacks to the farmhouse. And it's so funny, because Sheila admits committing heinous crimes like the baby switch and kidnapping Lauren, but she leaves out important facts that are less flattering to her 🤣 She describes her and Scott as being "so in love". But she forgets mentioning that she had to drug Scott to get him to impregnate her, and she doesn't tell Mike that Scott and Lauren were married! She makes Lauren sound like "the other woman" who got pregnant. 🤣

I’ve been skipping through late ’93 to early ’95, only for the Sheila story. But the Anthony Armando story is slowly catching my attention. I am a HUGE fan of Knots Landing and Michael Sabatino’s stint as Chip Roberts. I know what a compelling psycho he can play. Throughout ’94, Anthony seemed rather innocuous, but now that we’ve entered ’95 and Macy has rejected Anthony to be engaged to Thorne, I see Anthony scheming and putting his plans into place… how do events lead to Anthony murdering his new love interest Ivana?? Color me intrigued. = = = As mentioned, I’ve been scrolling to get an understanding of Sheila’s story during this time period. I am shocked and disappointed to realize that nothing of any significance happens during this long stretch of time of late ’93 (post-Catalina) to early ’95! Of course Sheila’s story was interrupted by KB’s maternity leave in Jan '94. But she returned April ’94 and nothing important happens for almost a year! The only events of note are a couple weeks in June ’94 when Jay Garvin dies, and then Sheila sleeping with Connor to get pregnant with “Eric’s baby” which winds up being a big zero, and a couple intriguing eps in Dec ’94 with James grilling Sheila in Big Bear before he is called away to Taylor in Morocco. . Nothing happens after that for another two entire months! That’s a long time. I’m finally at 1982 2/22/95 and Sheila’s story is heating up. Perhaps the writers felt that the Sheila/Lauren story needed a “rest” for 1994? I can’t help but think that’s an entire year of much wasted potential. = = = Adding my thanks to the Angel for the continuous uploads! It’s a dream come true for the complete BnB ‘90s archive!

Love it! Welcome back and can't wait for more. Re: Teri Austin's one-off ep, she discusses it on the podcast in the above post! Thanks @SoapDope for posting that. Teri was friendly with David Jacobs from when they worked on a Canadian production, and when she moved to LA, she had lunch with him, and he said "hey, you don't happen to be free next week...? We have this small role..." and the rest is history. When you finish season 7, I'll fill you in on how a TV Guide article at the time changed the trajectory of Teri's career...

Finally had a chance to watch the recently-uploaded July and Aug ‘94 eps (thanks again @PhilParis!) Heidi Mark as Sharon’s acting was painful in the July scenes where Sharon met Nikki. But I did see improvement in the late August eps, where her delivery seemed more natural. I actually enjoyed her scenes with Victoria-Ann Lewis’ Doris. I much preferred this Doris to Karen Hensel’s version. Victoria-Ann brought the necessary solemn, quiet dignity to the role, but also a much-needed maternal warmth (reminiscent of Liz Foster). I never felt that with Karen’s version, which was only stern and stiff to me. Even with Heidi’s acting improvement, she probably couldn’t have handled the upcoming dramatically-heavy rape scenes, so it makes sense why they recast. But I wish they kept Victoria-Ann. The whole thing of Sharon having giving birth to Cassie before moving to GC seems to have been a retcon, as Doris reminds Sharon to always use condoms during sex to avoid unwanted pregnancies, and there was no subtext to a previous pregnancy.

Just watched the Dec ‘94 Rotterdam concert eps for the first time. I didn’t realize Bobbie Eakes and Jeff Trachta were such a phenomenon in Europe back then. Anyone on this board from Europe remember this timeframe? I’m wondering what the root of their appeal was, so much so that fans would fill a giant Rotterdam concert stadium on multiple nights!

Did we ever hear what the “different kind” of anniversary show will be? Thank you! I finally had a chance to watch. There's such a through-line with Liz's character after 20 years... "Look at me, girl!!" It could be 1973 or 1993 ❤️ Why oh why did MAB have to pull the "stunt" in 2010 of killing Liz off, just so David Hasselhoff could return for a few eps 😕 Liz should still be on the show, as the only original cast member, dispensing needed wisdom to all the younger foolish characters.

After finishing up Catalina and ’93, I’ve just been mostly skimming through ’94… nothing interests me except for Sheila, and even Sheila’s story of trying to get pregnant to secure a piece of the Forrester fortune is pretty generic and underwhelming. Dear god, Jessica has consumed the entire show. But coming across 1880, I had to stop and watch the whole thing! What a treat to have the entire original Logan family back. I’m sure KKL must have been thrilled. It makes the wedding feel like an event. Sheila, of all people, hosting the wedding party was fun. She is watching Beth like a hawk. Loved big brother Stormy looking out for his sis. The throwaway line that Felicia is in Africa doing volunteer work seems random…? Unless that was a character trait of hers that I’m forgetting? Meanwhile Taylor has discovered her past but is helpless to escape her fate! I know the Princess story is overall a bust, but this here is a classic soap cliffhanger moment. Knowing the Bridge wedding was approaching, I was worried that it would seem too rushed and ridiculous. But it makes sense that Ridge is trying to move past his grief to reunite with his other love and the mother of his daughter… and also the threat of James marrying Brooke accelerated things.
