Loving the return of the old musical cues, and hoping we get some good flashbacks like in Sheila’s past returns. I am guessing Finn would have been conceived at some point after Sheila ran off with Mary and before her first return to LA, but who knows if that will be cleared up? 

Since Sheila was brought up...have there been any updates on Kimberlin Brown’s visit to the studio? Supposedly it was for some sort of special, but I haven’t heard anything about it since.

I had wondered what the “special“ would be about. I haven’t yet heard anything about John McCook retiring. I don’t think there are any major character anniversaries this year either. 🧐

The requester on Kimberlin’s pass is apparently the casting director for Bold, for what its worth.

Tammin Sursok who was woefully miscast as Colleen Carlton on Y&R, couldn’t do an American accent to save her life. 

My mind immediately went to her. Losing Adrienne Leon for Sursok was a raw deal.

I generally find Australian actors unconvincing as Americans. Ingo Rademacher didn’t fare much better as B&B’s Thorne. 

I’ve never been able to figure out what she actually says either, but I always thought it was “You lie and cheat and treat me like an animal.” 
 

Thanks for re-posting this clip; I can’t think of a more thrilling period of the show. All beats played to perfection, a Shakespearean play compared to today.

Sheila’s 2017 return started off pretty well but it became clear after a few months Bell didn’t really know what to do with her. By the time she became a busybody waitress it was clear there wasn’t much foresight or direction (unlike her previous returns, which varied in quality but all had a full narrative arc). The worst was when they had Sheila blab to Eric about seeing Katie with Wyatt—like, what? Then she just kind of disappeared. If Bell knew Kimberlin Brown was running for office he should have sent her out with a bang (literally).

Just curious MinnaH, your name Minna is common ladies name here in Finland, are you from Finland by any chance?

Haha, sadly I am not. I stole my username from a recurring character on Veep. 🙂

Thanks for the link!

Loving the 2002 episodes. I watched most of these when they aired but never thought to tape them. Question: In the 8/21 episode, is that Chrishell Stause opposite JF’s Bridget?

I started watching as a young kid with my late grandfather in the early 90s. We had about 5-10 channels on the antenna and CBS seemed to be what was always on. I mainly recall watching Y&R and B&B. I loved all the characters but the Lauren/Sheila storyline was what got me hooked. Sheila terrified me as a kid. The last I recall from that time period was the infamous “goodbye party.” I think I started elementary school right after that because I don’t remember seeing her again until she returned in 2002. I still watched both shows during the summer, long after my grandfather passed, and particularly loved the Glo by Jabot teens in the early 2000s. 
 

I occasionally watch because it’s fun to see characters I have “known” for 30 years but I don’t find the storylines very gripping. I returned to B&B full time when Sheila came back but we all know how that turned out. The classics were a godsend and I already miss them.
