I have noticed some big improvements in the IMDB database, regarding the dates and episode numbers. These numbers were completely off since the multiple preemptions in late 2019 (for the impeachment hearings) and 2020 (covid break). They were already posting 9050-9060 recaps while we hadn't even seen the 9000th episode. Now it seems correct, although I still have a difference of 1. For me the episode that aired on Monday, December 11 has the number #9165. IMBD says #9166. Maybe it's still linked to the confusion about 8426 and 8426A, IDK. I also see some major improvements for the 1992-1996 years. A few years ago I tried to make a complete episode count with all the characters from 1987-2020, but a lot of data was missing during these 5 years, now I think it'd be easier to make that list again with correct numbers.  Thank you to whoever improved that if someone on this thread worked on it. Also thanks for the preemption dates from 1987-1995, we're very grateful to have all the correct informations.

I see some posters are noticing issues with the sound in some episodes from 1995-1996. I haven't noticed it so far. The videoland quality is still much better than Youtube so if a handful of episodes are incomplete or musicless, I don't mind. Thank you for the 2001-2002 episodes, they are much better than the previous versions.

@divinemotion I get the current episodes from this page. https://scene-rls.net/?s=the+bold+and+the+beautiful&submit=Find      But the first episodes of October are missing. November 2 is missing too. But this person is doing a fantastic job, you can download episodes in 480, 720 or 1080,.... avi, mp4 or mkv. The recent ones (MeGusta) even have subtitles. I delete some of them once I've watched, but  hopefully someone  kept them all and will upload them to the vault.

I suspect Sheila will be written off soon.

What makes you think so?  KB signed a 3 years contract recently as fas as I know. It seems like the writers are trying to "redeem" the character at the moment. She just got engaged to Deacon, and all the criminal charges against her have been dropped. I don't see her going anywhere anytime soon.

I hope to see more Bill soon. And more Thomas and Taylor. The fact that Luna and RJ have more episodes is quite laughable imo.

@YRfan23, thank you so much for these episode counts, we appreciate it.

Thank you very much for posting these episode counts. I haven't been able to watch much recently. I'll try to catch up but these counts helps me to know if my favorite characters/actors were featured a lot or not.

Do you know why Krista Allen and Don Diamont have practically vanished in August and September? Did they go on strike? Thanks again.

Thanks to the Angels for the 1995/1996 episodes!

May I ask someone to post the last 3 weeks of episodes please? All I have is the poor 240p version of Dailymotion. Unfortunately the tool I was using to download CBS videos doesn't work anymore (I had mentionned it in a previous post here). I was the one posting eps from October 2020 to June 2021, then some other people took over (thank you) and I posted some eps again in 2022. Since late 2022 I was using the rls.net link (thank you @Marquise ), but it seems like that person is done!? At least nothing posted since September 16 and S36E247 (episode #9106 if my numbers are correct). So I have #9097-#9106 but #9107-#9122 are missing. (PS : the Tenplay australian version is perfect if no one has the CBS one). Sorry for the disruption.

EDIT: Thank you to the contributor who uploaded September.

Working just fine to me, it's just that I wish I could see November and December 2022 soon

I'm sorry, I can't upload the current episodes anymore.

I just uploaded November 1 to November 15. But the tool I was using to download CBS episodes doesn't work anymore (starting the November 16 episode). The last episode I could download and upload to the vault has the number #8895 (2022-11-15). But #8896 (and the following ones) were impossible to download for me. Really sorry about that. I hope some other angel will be more lucky than me and uplaod these episodes. There is always this Dailymotion channel ( bit.ly/3Vw7Dhv ) but the quality and the sound are awful.

On another note, I had no idea there was a German version of recent episodes (#7800... in the vault). I always thought the last episode dubbed in German was the number #5992. That's when Tele5 stopped showing them in March 2016. I'd never seen anything in German after #5992... until today. Thank you to whoever uploaded them.

And 10000 thank you for the 1994-1995 episodes, the quality is so much better than on Youtube.

Can anyone give me the green light to upload the September/October 2022 episodes? I couldn't upload them since August 29 because the vault was full, but if it has been fixed I will happily upload them again. I just want to make sure it's useful and that it's not going to disrupt the vault again.

@BoldRestless Big thank you for your 2005 episodes. I know I said I would post a list of the missing episodes (between 2000 and 2005) with the correct numbers and air dates. I had started it with August but then I couldn't upload anything  so I stopped. I will try to finish it and upload this list in the 2000s folder. This way, we'll know exactly what's missing it'll be easier to complete it.

If Videoland is still releasing episodes, I hope the angels will continue to upload in 1994/1995.

2022 has to be the worst year ever for B&B, honestly. I don't think there is 1 positive thing I can say. The Finn dying / coming back story hit the bottom of the bottom, you can't sink lower than this in terms of writing and acting. 3 characters presumed dead in a few weeks is beyond  ridiculous.  The first 3 months were all about Brooke drinking and Sheila's secret - terrible. Taylor's return has made Steffy and Thomas totally insufferable. The 3 main couples - Lope Sinn Bridge - have no chemistry and are so mismatched. Quinn was written off like she was a recurring character, zero respect for her fans and they did the same to Zoe/Flo/Shauna earlier this year (even if they were hated by a lot, they deserved better closure). Now we're headed to a 4th round of Thomas obsessing over Hope and Sheila obsessing over her son and grandson. And a 36th round of the triangle from hell. It's no wonder even the big location shoot in Monaco brought the ratings down. Everything sucks.

The old episodes are 1000000x more interesting. 1987-2005 were the best years, then it started degrading. Even 3 years ago in 2019, the show was already bad, but not THAT bad. (for anyone wondering, the vault is full again, I will start uploading the new episodes as soon as @ChickenNuggetz92 fixes it)

I have been going through DVDs sent to me by an anon angel. Uploaded some missing 2005, 2006, and 2007 episodes. Unfortunately the angel didn't have all of them, but every little bit helps.  I'll do more later this week.

Thank you so much! For 2006-2007 I think you can use the "missing episode 2005-2009" file, most episode numbers were still missing in English (but they're in German).

I still haven't had the time to make the list for 2000-2004. I will try to upload it under 2000s in the coming days.

@divinemotion I would love that too. The quality for 2010 is really not good with 360p and the Youtube version is the only one we have (nothing on CBS.com). For your information (if it can help) the first Youtube episode with 1080p quality is #6149 (2011-09-07). The first one with 480p quality is #6025 (2011-03-25)... Episodes #5642 (September 2009) to #6024 (March 2011) are all in 360p. So if you have some or most of those months in better quality, we'll all be grateful. Thanks

Hey, @Jennybold1974remember how I got a lot of 2005 episodes on DVD from an angel (which I haven't finished uploading, oops  - but I will get to it soon). They are back in touch with me, and they want to know what is missing from 2004 and 2005 so they can hopefully fill the gaps. Do you happen to have a list already prepared? Looks like we need almost all of 2004, with April being the most complete. They would need dates though, not episode numbers, because that is how they named their files, and their episodes would be in English. If you have the list, it would help! Thanks.

@BoldRestless I don't have this list, but I can make one. I have my own hard drive with all the episodes from the vault (and other clips and episodes I had in other languages - French and Italian mostly). So I think it'll be easy to see what's missing and make a list.

2006-2010 is definitely complete now (still a few holes in 2006-2008 but at least we have them in German thanks to rsclassics) These holes are under "Episode missing list 2005-2009" but I haven't updated it since May 2021, maybe some were added in the meantime.

I'll try to make another list for 2000-2005. I'll name it "Episodes missing list 2000-2005" and list these episodes with the dates.  I'll specify if we already have the episode in German. For the dates it shouldn't be a problem. There were some shifts between numbers and dates in the 1990s' but it isn't the case from 1997. The blog reichundschoen, IMDB and Socpcentral all have the correct dates.

Check the "2000s" folder in the coming days. I'll try to add that list in the course of the week if I have time.

Yes, that's wonderful! I can't wait for 1994-1995. Even if we already have a lot of them in the vault (from Nikki and more recently the Cala episodes)

1996-1999 are already complete in German, but it'll be great to have the VO as well.

Still a lot of holes in 2000/2001, hopefully one day it'll be complete too. For 2004-2005 I know @rsclassicfanforever has the last missing episodes in German, I hope she'll add them one day. @Marquise thanks for these wonderful pictures!

@Pedro I just added some July 2022 episodes. I try to update them every week, but sometimes I just forget about it and I add 2 weeks at once.

The 1993 Angel is uploading again. Thank you so much, who ever it is!

@Videnbas @sheilaforever and Co,  really enjoy reading your long posts! I don't always agree, but it's nice to read opposite opinions about the show and its history. More interesting than the current episodes... lol

Yes, please.

Just unbelievable— I kept the rewind handy. That body is perfection.

Most of the B&B young cast has amazing body. They should all have more shirtless scenes.

Thank you @ChickenNuggetz92 ! You're an angel.

@rsclassicfanforever Thank you for your episodes!  Could you please post (if you still have them) 4511-4537 in German like you did 4485-4499? It's the only missing section from 2005. Thank you!

Does anyone have any news on the Videoland episodes? It’s been a while and I remember reading a post from one of the uploaders that the account he had been using to access the site was no longer active. I hope someone will be able to continue eventually because these 1993 episodes are so hard to find and really the show's golden era IMO!

If I'm not mistaken, @anon4520 and @rsclassicfanforever are the angels who uploaded most of the Videoland episodes. Right now the last one I see in the vault is #1542, and videoland is currently airing #1610. I hope these angels will keep uploading soon in 1993. I'll stay optimistic

BTW rsclassic, thanks for the 2005 German episodes. Now the only ones missing are 4511-4537. Do you have them? Thanks.

Will there be New episodes from this week?

Hi. I'm adding the last 6 episodes right now.

Again, thank you everyone for the videoland episodes. 1993 was definitely one of the best years, I can't wait to have 1994 and 1995. The quality is perfect.

@BoldRestless I really appreciated the January 2005 episodes. Any chance to grab more from February-May 2005?  Maybe @rsclassicfanforever has 4485-4499 and 4511-4537 in German?

Didn't Steffy have two motorcycle accidents?

2013 and 2020?

 

Even 3 if you count the quad accident in Cabo

And no, Bell isn't going to play the dream twist. Casey Kasprzyk made it quite clear there will be no time jump.

The spoilers are very very confusing, yeah.

And obviously the twist is going to be more than just Sheila harming or killing Finn. Finn's death wouldn't change the show forever. It would only change Steffy's life in short-term. And if he isn't dead, it will be even more of a flop. This isn't the first time Sheila shoots or kills someone. It will be a big letdown if Sheila shooting Finn is the twist and nothing more happens. I can't believe they would hype and promote this twist for so long... for this. Yes, there has to be more.

 I'm very saddened by Barty's retirement. I'm a huge fan of women's tennis (not much men's).She was the best since her French Open title in 2019.  I'll miss her a lot.  Wish her all the best.

I uploaded the 3 eps from this week.

For 1993, the quality is perfect for me. I downloaded one in 800Mo and one in 100Mo, I don't see any quality loss. Thank you anon.

@ChickenNuggetz92 If the vault is full, I suggest maybe we could delete all files from 2019? All 250 episodes are taking up to 700Mo with the bonus scenes. The Youtube channel is currently posting the 2019 episodes (last one added is #8030). It would free around 2 To. Even 3 To if we also remove January-April 2020.   Maybe you could post a warning somewhere and announce 2019 will be deleted in * days/weeks from now, so people who want these episodes in HQ have enough time to download them. Like I said in my previous post, the 1991/1993 LQ versions could also be suppressed once we have the Videoland version. This would also clear some space. Those are just my suggestions (in case you don't want to create 2 different vaults for now).  Thank you for everything chickennuggetz!!

Brooke has cried every single episode for the past 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this is a Guiness World Record. Please someone give KKL an Emmy. Save her eyes!

I do know she has been on 51 consecutive episodes between December 23rd and March 8th. I've been told this is a record (at least for B&B... I don't know for the other soaps).

I just posted the 5 episodes of the week.

Thank you again @anon4520for your episodes. 1993 was one of my favorite years!!

Hi. Thank you so much @anon4520 for the 1992/1993 episodes.

NO complaint from but but I'll just give one advice regarding the size. If 800 Mo is too big (for instace if - like me - you want to download them and store them on a hard drive... or other reasons), I use a software - "freeconvert" - to compress them. You can convert MP4 to MKV, MOV (or other formats)... It goes from 800 Mo to 100 Mo, with ZERO LOSS OF QUALITY. You can convert 5 videos at once, it's quick and total free (for files under 1 Go). It will free a lot of space if you download everything and need space. I just uploaded "Episode 1470" under the February 1993 file to give you an example... You can see it's only 96 Mo (instead of 782 Mo) and no quality loss. I won't do it for the other episodes but it might help if some day the vault needs space...

Besides @ChickenNuggetz92 and @BoldRestless don't hesitate to delete big 1991/1993 files once we have the HQ videoland versions, in case the vault needs space. On August 24 2021 I added a lot of low quality episodes (FI the January 1993 ones)... I let you delete them unceremoniously if you want. LOL ... And Boldrestless thank you so much for the January 2005 episodes... I hope there will be more in February/March/April. This Morgan/Ridge storyline was great.

Like promised I added the episodes 112 and 429 from the Youtube channel... If there are other episodes with sound issues (between 1 and 500) or cut parts in the beginning, give the episode number and I'll add the Youtube version.  I also keep adding the 2022 episodes each week-end... If there is any complaint or request, please share here, I'll try to adapt. Again thank you everyone. Can't wait to see this upcoming huge twist, I've the feeling we won't be disappointed this time.

I think the most likely plot twist is Eric or Ridge's death. JMC might want to retire and TK already said he's taking a long break this year and he hasn't been happy with the writing for his character lately so maybe he's done with B&B for good.

Sheila's big secret will be revealed in the coming weeks, and we all know what happens when Sheila feels rejected and doesn't get what she wants. Finn will realize how deceitful she is and she will blow the tiny chance she had to bond with him or Hayes, Finn will want nothing to do with her. Taylor will regret trusting her and telling Steffy to be more open-minded about her. Steffy will blame her when Ridge goes back to Brooke. Ridge will hate her more than he hates Bill or Deacon, because she hurt his Logan. Deacon will hate her more than anyone because he loves Brooke. She and Thomas will argue about this secret and it won't go well for them either. The Spencers, Brooke and Hope will blame her for all of Brooke's problems. In other world the whole show will be against Sheila. This is pretty much how she ended up pulling a gun on James, Eric and all the Forresters in 1998. This is how she shot Brooke and Taylor in 2002. Once everyone turns on her, she'll have nothing to lose and she will snap.

I can see a huge brawl with several characters, including Sheila and Brooke. Ridge or Eric try to intervene for Brooke. One of them takes a bullet or a stab, or falls off a cliff or a balcony. My bet is on Ridge. Brooke, Ridge and Sheila have an epic showdown about the label switch and Ridge is killed during the fight... Maybe he is only presumed dead and the writers will leave the door ajar for an eventual return, in months or years from now.

This is the kind of twist that would change the characters' lives forevers.. Most characters would be impacted by Ridge's death, except maybe the Buckinghams. It would open the door for new romances for both Brooke and Taylor... as a consequence it would have a huge influence on their potential love interests (Eric, Bill, Deacon... and even Finn, Liam, Thomas). It would also affect Steffy (and so Finn), Hope (and Liam), Eric (and Quinn) and Thomas. Sheila killing Ridge would probably mean the end of Steffy and Finn and maybe a new start for Liam and Steffy and free Hope for Thomas, Finn or Wyatt. The aftermath would continue for months, with plenty of new romances and triangles. Just imagine the consequences in the long run.

Eric's death would also affect everyone, though maybe not in the same proportions (and I think they'd kill him off with some illness or a heart attack like they did Stephanie,...)

Someone else mentionned a mass shooting or a fire at Forrester Creations. I like the idea of the arson, started by Sheila because no one wants anything to do with her. We could have 1 or 2 characters dying or in a long coma. Forrester Creations would be burnt to ashes and the Forresters would have to unite and start over.

February has sunk to new lows for me. Revisiting the old triangle from hell in 2022 is the worst thing they could come up with. The Taylor recast is great but I hate how they're just rewriting Taylor and Ridge's history. Some of these dialogs are gagworhy.

Taylor never betrayed Ridge unlike Brooke... really? What do the writers call Taylor sleeping with James and 2 decades of lies? How about Hector, and Thorne? How about her lies about Thomas' paternity? How about letting him in jail when she shot Bill? I can live with the "Taylor is more faithful than Brooke" narrative, but pretending she is this honest, moral person who never betrayed Ridge is insulting.

Deep down Thomas and Steffy are so sure Ridge prefers Taylor... How would they know? Ridge used to prefer Taylor over Brooke... before Steffy and Thomas were born. The last time Tridge were married and happy was before Sheila shot her, and they weren't even teenagers. Last 3 Tridge reunions lasted about 3 episodes and were based on lies. They should want a lot better for their mom.

I hate that Taylor is still willing to settle for Ridge's crumbs after all these times he cheated on her and left her for Brooke. She deserves to have her own guy who only loves her, just like Steffy (I can't stand Steffy and Finn for a number of reasons, but that's another topic) and not be another prop/angst for Bridge.

I hate how Ridge's past indiscretions are never brought up like Brooke's. Ridge has cheated, waffled and broken as many marriage vows as Brooke, if not more. His latest transgressions were Quinn and Shauna, and now he is doing it again with Taylor. He hasn't even talked about divorce, and he is already using Taylor to boost his ego. Both Taylor and Brooke deserve better than him at this point.

I hate that they're ruining Thomas again. They invested so much to redeem him and tried to make him a good guy. And now he is full of hatred again. back to his old trickeries. He should be portrayed as a leading man with qualities and with at least 2 love interests who are totally into him. Not this manipulative jerk that no woman wants. Matthew Atkinson is 1000 times too hot and too talented for this soap.

Steffy and Finn will never be viable for me as long as we don't see her clearly pick him over Liam. I'll always see Steffy as the woman who jumped in bed with her ex and was ready to throw Finn in the trash bin until her lover informed her he was staying with his wife. Her recent whining about how Hope stole Liam from her just reinforce my feeling... Finn the consolation prize.

Sheila v Brooke doesn't make sense. Sheila was brought to be Steffy's rival. Steffy slapped, insulted her, threw ultimatums and forbade Finn to have any contact with her, Sheila did nothing. Brooke tells her she isn't welcomed in Hayes' life, Sheila is on a mission to destroy her life. Totally out of nowhere. No buildup, no mention of Sheila and Brooke's history. Terrible.

Where are Flo, Wyatt and Shauna? I know the actors are busy right now, but one dialog to explain these absences wouldn't hurt. Where are Justin and Bill? Donna? Finn's parents? Too many characters missing for no reason.

The Buckinghams are pointless. None of them are likable. First Reese, then Zoe, then Paris and now Grace... It's just impossible for me to care about these people. They should have kept the Avants instead. Maya, Nicole, Sasha, Julius, Vivien and even Xander were more interesting.

Now I can only hope the big life-changing storyline will be as good as they promised. It better be unexpected and epic. Not some lame, contrived twist like Kelly is Bill's, Emma isn't dead, or Brooke stops Taylor's wedding with a camel... The soap desperately needs an inovative storyline that will keep the viewers at the edge of their seats for weeks. Not sure I can trust the writers with it, but I can't wait to find out-
