It would be nice to know "who" specifically told soapwikijohn to not post videos here as it may alert us as to where the issue is coming from so we can avoid problems? I don't think people are being unnecessarily uncalm...it's the idea that someone is apparently policing this, and could put an end to this, that's the concern.

As an example of what I’ve said above about people speaking openly about the vault on YT, there’s an Antonia Chapstick (in the comments of the YT link you provide above) telling people to go check out her About page on her YT page to get episodes for free (in reference to Gilson selling them for money). When you click her check out Twitter link, it takes you straight to the Vault’s Twitter page. I worry if I can do this so easily and follow the bread crumbs people lay for others, how easy would it be for someone who works for B&B to do the same and shut the Vault down?

Sadly I think that’s what happens when people continue to discuss or reference “the vault” on YouTube. It’s a real shame someone has come down hard on you? I have concerns the vault will be shut down if people talk about it so openly on YouTube, and people like Gilson continue to profiteer so openly and gloatingly on YouTube which highlights where he’s getting the episodes. Thanks for you efforts though. It’s a real shame given the beautiful quality of your recordings. I think the only thing we can reasonably count on if the official YouTube channel honours their word is that at the rate of 3 episodes posted per day, we should have the first 18 seasons available to watch within 4ish years. It’s just a real pity they don’t upload them in great quality.

What does everyone think of the dating they're giving the Season 1 episodes on the official YouTube page? It's as though there haven't been pre-emptions yet in 1987, but there surely would have been some along the way? To me it seems like they're just assuming the dates without preemptions? Thanks.

I’ve just finished 835 in my in order re-watch! The build up to Caroline’s death was just as gut wrenching as the first time. Joanna Johnson never looked more beautiful with her longer hair in her last couple of months’ worth of episodes, until they went with the sudden grey makeup in her final episodes. To this day I still think this is the saddest death of them all. Interesting that they filmed Sally Jnr getting her diagnosis the same way Caroline did, with the silence and view from outside the doctor’s office…until they retconned the writing and made Sally well again. I didn’t remember that they quickly dispatched with Caroline from the opening credits immediately after her death, and added Taylor in. Usually the show can take its time adding in new or returning faces.

It was one of the repeats shown during the covid production shutdown…Lauren vs Sheila…We also got it on TV in Australia.

For anyone who likes B&B memorabilia, this is quite the Italian curiosity - a rip of a promo audio tape for the "Beautiful" soundtrack. Brings back wonderful memories of summer in 1990 in Capri - the end theme (which is the middle track of the 'LatoB' file) is just beautiful and has always given me goosebumps...it's such a melancholic sounding piece. The first track of 'LatoA' is the opening theme to Beautiful. https://archive.org/details/beautiful-ost

Haha! Donna would have been thinking how well Rocco filled out that Forrester work uniform! Lost opportunity girlfriend!

Complete but not the sharpest they could be. My DVDs are certainly much sharper.

Very true! I think 125 from memory is similar so need to check that one when it’s published. At the rate of 21 episodes published per week on the official channel, they are going to release around 1000 episodes per year, so we should eventually have those glory years.

Episode 112 is now available on the official B&B YouTube channel, with proper song at the nightclub plus dialogue included instead of what we have in the Vault (overdubbed audio and no dialogue during those scenes): YAY!

Oh sorry, my eyeballs missed it up the top of the list there looking different to the file names of all the others, my bad. It's 26 August 2003 (4118)...it's in the Vault. Would have been on one of the DVD releases.

They are 4850, 4913 and 4914...we have the last 2 in the Vault. Doesn't look like we have 4850 from what I can see.

I'm up to 804 in my rewatch and that's Hunter Tylo's first appearance as "Dr Hayes". The scenes are written as though Caroline and she are familiar, and there's even a hug at the end, even though it's the first time we have witnessed them in a scene together. I have to wonder since Caroline's doctor Dr Angelo appeared some episodes beforehand, appearing as a long-haired brunette...do we think that the intention was for Dr Angelo to play the future love interest of Ridge, and was re-cast as the new character of Dr Hayes who looked quite similar???

That’s awesome! Thanks for the tip-off about the Sheila episodes…I haven’t checked the Y&R vault since last year.

Yeah they loved their spoilers, I would have them captivated for hours as I told them what was coming! Mum rings me to find out what’s next and she’s only 3 episodes behind as she doesn’t have the internet and watches the live TV episodes, while I watch the fast tracked ones! Haha

HAHA! No, I wish, we were behind for sooooo long, constantly getting spoiled months in advance in magazines...when I'd go to the US on little holidays in 1990 and 1993, I'd be propelled into the future watching scenes that would be ages away for us in Australia, and be captivated...literally the last few months before the pandemic hit Ten started showing doubles and then we caught up! I suspect they wish they hadn't, as they'd have had new episodes to play through that production break.

We started off 8 months behind at the end of 1987. Taking advantage of the US preemptions of which we got far fewer and some double airings when it changed timeslot, by January 1993 Network 10 must have narrowed the gap to 5 months based on this being episode 1300 as @soapwikijohn has determined. It took us to finally catch up after 3 decades as the pandemic hit, and production stopped. Then we got 50 classic episodes and some more recent repeats, many of which were different to the North American classic repeats, before new episodes returned. Presently, Network 10 air new episodes at 4.30pm weekdays about 3 days behind the US. 10play, Network 10’s streaming service, uploads them fast-tracked at around 8am AEDT Tuesday to Saturday due to the time difference. This includes the 2.5 minute bonus scene for the international market that North America does not get to see broadcast or streamed.

That is great marketing. Yes, B&B became huge in Italy in the 1990's. They started when I was there in 1990 with double episodes as they were so far behind. Yes, I seem to remember Y&R being on when I was there in 1983 on a family holiday, and it was called Febre D'Amore (Fever of Love)...which is similar to the French title Les Feux de L'Amour (Fires of Love). Sheila Carter Story on YT is great if you're wanting to fill in some Y&R Sheila gaps for episodes not in the Vault, but the missing clips are pretty much the French links provided. A great recent resource, one which I hope runs and runs to build the Sheila library. Thank you! I'm sure everyone would much rather the superior HQ Cala versions than some of the blurry versions we have in the Vault. The blurry ones can always be deleted once we're sure nothing was cut from the Cala transmission. Fingers crossed they're not in the business of cutting scenes like Ten in Australia does!

What they do is they post the link to an off-site website (ok.ru) possibly to avoid youtube matching videos and blocking them, so there's no translation to subtitles available there unfortunately! That's good to know though for YT, thank you!

So funny the efforts we go to to fulfil some sort of order. In Australia we never got to experience Sheila first on Y&R and then on B&B. As we were 3 years behind Y&R and 8 months behind B&B, we got Sheila first on B&B. When I found out that she started on Y&R, I waited until we caught up to Sheila's arrival, and started watching her bits on Y&R. A very messy way to do it but it was all I could do in that era! Now in my B&B rewatch I'm up to May 1990, and Sheila has just arrived on Y&R! There's this French person on Youtube uploading all the Sheila scenes in English and some French, called Sheila Carter Story (easy to find in a Youtube search if you're interested), so I am watching the Y&R scenes side by side with the airdates for B&B so that when Sheila arrives on B&B in 1992, I'm all caught up and for the first time will have experienced the two shows together like the North Americans did! I did French for a year in 1980 and nothing since, and I remember very basic words, so wish we luck watching the French clips. I'm sure I will get the drift even if I don't understand the words!

Thank you for these! Were you able to catch the weekend marathon? Chances are the first episode might have been 2040. If not, we will eventually get there with VL! Fingers crossed!

Seriously, your efforts look just beautiful, and a bonus that there's no subtitles at the bottom. If the one you just posted was the Friday airing, fingers crossed that means that the first one from the marathon is one of the ones that you weren't able to capture after the first two you so wonderfully provided us (ie. 2040 likely the 'Monday' episode)...I think so far what you have been able to obtain is 2037, 2038, 2041-2044. Thanks so much once again, it is very much appreciated by us.

I dare say however many appear in the marathon is how many aired during the week. If it’s not too much trouble to crop out the ads either side of the episode, great, if not, no biggie, we’d rather have the episode with ads than no episode at all! Ah so to me it seems the 3pm is the repeat from the day before and 3.30pm airing is the new one, especially if you are recording the 3-4pm block. Thanks so much again.

The first one is the same as the 2nd one you posted yesterday. Do they do 2 new ones a day or repeat one from the day before plus a new one? Thank you!!
