Thanks for letting me know! I thought there was a preemption until CBS confused me by uploading Monday's episode on Friday.

Oh wow. Very nice job with this; how did you do the season menu, if you don't mind my asking?

It's just a standard slicer and I use a hidden column to link the relevant cells to it. Nothing fancy.

By any chance do you keep said spreadsheet as a Google doc? If you marked it READONLY you could post the link & anyone could refer to it.

Yup, it's here:

Admittedly I haven't gone out of my way to actively promote it except for on this forum (and on my signature) so not many people know it exists.

Hello, i just uploaded episode 3142 from Season 13 that had a problem with the sound on the official YT channel. I ll do my best to record from RTL all the episodes that have problems or are missing from Season 13.

By the way, has anyone saved the first episodes of Season 1 when they first uploaded on the official YT channel 3 years ago and they were unedited with the clapperboard? I had them all but lost them when my HDD crushed.... I would so much appreciate if someone could help with this.

Thanks @ChristosM! And thank you for leaving the closing credits in.

I kept a record of the problem episodes. There could be others, but these are the ones I spotted.

Season 13

3142 Audio dropouts, particularly towards the last two minutes of the video

3143 Some audio dropouts

3153 Audio dropouts and some garbled video during the end credits

3162 Audio dropouts throughout episode

3181 Garbled, pixelated video around the 15 minute mark

3203 Audio dropouts

3223 Video glitches around the beginning of the episode

3262 Garbled video with no audio from the 20 minute mark

Season 14

3455 Glitchy, pixelated video at the 14 minute mark

3479 Glitchy video and audio dropouts throughout episode

3509 Audio and video skip at certain points from 16 minute mark

3555 Glitchy, pixelated video from the 19 minute mark

3600 No sound from 15-16th minute

3613 Intermittent sound dropouts throughout episode

I also run a spreadsheet and am trying to track down the writer and director information for the following episodes: 3152, 3159, 3162, 3165, 3170

Thanks in advance!

(Continuing my scene, apologies, it's fan fiction, but there is so much that could be going on here, so many juicy opportunities):

Steffy:  Wait.  Wait a minute - what pheremone?  what are you talking about Brooke?, because I have no idea....Daphne what is she talking about?  I don't know about anything to do with the formula of the cologne or anything WRONG with it, I don't know anything about it, and

Brooke:  Why don't you ask her?  She's standing right here.  Daphne?  You have a tongue? Did Steffy know about the cologne?  Whose Idea was it to "spike" the cologne, you know, I mean....HAHA (sarcastic laugh) - like people spike the drink of an alcoholic, RIGHT, who would know about THAT?? WHO told you to do it Daphne? ??? (stares Daphne and Steffy down)

Daphne (shifts eyes).  "Steffy....she told me to come up with an idea to sabotage the cologne, and..."

Steffy (cutting her off)- NO, no I did not Daphne, that is a LIE, that is a LIE, and you know that all I wanted was for you and Carter to....well (throws hands up, and says too much), the PLAN was to get to CARTER and....

Brooke (cutting Steffy off):  AND THERE IT IS, isn't it?  Your PLAN was to have Daphne seduce CARTER.  AND TAKE FROM HOPE.  AGAIN.  Under the LIE of it JUST being about Forrester.

(enter Taylor, head down talking):  Steffy I forgot about what you said about Kelly's missing retainer and I found it in the bathroom when I was....(looks up from half shutting the door, sees all the people)....'wait what's happening, I'm sorry I am interrupting something...oh my gosh what's everyone doing here ..."

Brooke:  OH, welcome, look who it is, Ridge's repeat trick!  the SECOND CHOICE, HERE SHE IS FOLKS all TOASTY warm from Ridge's BED!   

Eric:  Brooke, maybe this isn't the greatest time, and I know how upset everyone is, so maybe let's think a little bit more about it before we say too much that cannot be taken back.

Brooke:  Eric, I'm sorry.  I'm really sorry that you will hear this, but I've listened to a lot from these people over the years, and I've beaten myself up about it.  I am going to SPEAK NOW.  Steffy, I'll tell you what you did....it wasn't just about getting Forrester back - was it?  It was also about wrecking Hope's life - like it always is.  One could certainly see it that way, and I'm allowed to do that.  WE are allowed to do that.  YOU have a problem Steffy.  YOU do.  

Finn:  Ok everyone get your bearings, get emotions under control....

Brooke:  Oh shut up you little PUKE.  You got here all of about 5 minutes ago in the grand scheme of things, and YOU KNOW NOTHING.  Steffy - let's talk about your hatred for my daughter.  YOU bounced back and forth between Liam and Wyatt just as much as Hope did....and I do not believe for one second that it was as much of you CARING about Liam and Wyatt - no.  It was about TAKING from Hope.  JUST LIKE IT IS RIGHT NOW.  Otherwise WHY would you be focused on wrecking Hope's personal life?  In the NAME of "getting Forrester back"....you went after Hope.  What does "GETTING FORRESTER BACK" even MEAN, people??  FROM WHO?  From ME?  I HAVE PROVEN myself YEAR after year in my BELIEF for ALL of you.  TO MY DETRIMENT I BELIEVED.  MY BELIEF for this company. REMEMBER BELIEF?  YOU ARE DESPICABLE.

Ridge:  Wait.  Just wait, you will not speak to my daughter...

Brooke:  GOD. SHUT. UP.  TALK to YOUR Daughter HOW?  YOU CALLED MY DAUGHTER a BITCH and a SLUT.  You forgot that a slut from the Valley is also a chemist.  You have forgotten a LOT Ridge.  You need to have your Son In Law get you on the schedule for a BRAIN scan.  

Taylor:  I'm sorry, I think this was a bad time, and I don't know exactly what's going on here but I'd appreciate a little bit of respect

Brooke:  You too, Taylor.  SHUT. UP.  Respect? You can STOP right there. You will NEVER get that from me, ever ever AGAIN. You and your BROKEN heart and Chakras and whatever other spiritual garbage you've woven together.  JUST GET OUT.  Ridge, go fix her Chakras....repeatedly for all I care.  Go Fix Chakras, go do THAT.

Donna, Eric, Katie, Hope, Carter - you stay.  If everyone else could leave us alone for about 10 minutes, we will have a staff meeting in the board room at 4:00 this afternoon.  I need to be with....the people I know are my real family for a few minutes.  You know what I don't understand? EVERY ONE of you has a vested interest in this company.  ME TOO. I ALWAYS HAVE.  And WE need to put this company back on track and make it the success that Stephanie always wanted.

The HOUSE that she built, and I will NOT let even her own granddaughter and son WILLINGLY put it at risk.  I just will not and I won't EVER apologize for that.  I am SHOCKED that your OWN MOTHER and GRANDMOTHER meant SO LITTLE to you.  She meant SO LITTLE that you'd let your personal lives get in the way of doing something innovative and LIFE saving to this company.  We SKEW OLD.  It was the WHOLE POINT of Hope for the Future.  I STILL have not made a decision on that, but it's a FACT we skew old.  You are STUPID not to see it.  All Carter and Hope were trying to do is make us RELEVANT again.  

Shut the door behind you.  Out.

Now that's a show I would watch lol

Thank you @Maxim and same to you! Happy New Year to you all! ❤️

Now that 2024 has drawn to a close, we can tally up the total episode count of 2024: 256. Which is a record as only 2004 was the only other year where B&B had produced that many episodes in a calender year.

Two episodes have been skipped in the upcoming schedule: 4058 and 4059.

Guys - please link to the videos where there are these comments and let's all report them together. If YouTube receives more than couple of reports... They will take them down. Please give us the links to the episodes and we'll report. All of us. This has to stop. The KKL harassment has to end. I hate it! Let's all  Report for hate speech. Everyone who reads here - report!

@Troppo

 

Good idea. We should also screenshot certain comments, especially the ones that are defamatory. Who knows if they'll ever be needed as evidence! 😂🤭😈

On 12/13/2024 at 6:02 AM, BoldKara said:

I hope so but history has proven they generally do skip and the live viewers will be waiting half an hour like on previous occasions for 4022 to live air after 4020.

If we knew the episode numbers we could find the comments to report.

So many ferals on YouTube. Clearly the show didn't educate some people with the Maya storyline...it just weaponised them and they sided with Julius.

YouTube in general is a cesspool for trolling and bullying. Thank goodness forums like this still exist where we can still engage in civilised discussion.

It's in the pipeline, along with a list of must-see episodes. I have been a bit lazy as of late so I can't give you a timeframe lol.

Now resorting to transphobic jokes. Yawn.

KKL thanks you all for the engagement. It helps the channel reach more people out there. I hope they're raking it in.

It's just a shame I feel when we lose the opportunity to see a HD quality episode. I know the inferior backup is there, but it's still disappointing when mistakes are made by the team on the channel, and history has shown, they don't fix them even when told the mistakes they've made. It's careless to me (and zero care factor on their part).

Dont worry, I don't think 4021 has been skipped. The episode before and the one after are still scheduled to start an hour after each other. I suspect this episode will appear without a live chat.

B&B: The best slap, and Stephanie destroying the vase with her cane afterwards (2005). What gets me is the intensity in Stephanie's despite faking the appearance of a feeble old woman. 

 

What makes the scene even funnier is how butch Susan was looking with those ill-fitting pantsuits.

I hope those bricks and boards can take it
But I won't be surprised if the whole damn place just falls

New KKL interview in Cyprus. Amazing things she shares. 

I've always liked KKL. She comes across as a refreshingly normal, down-to-earth kind of person who doesn't take herself or the business too seriously. And she has always been gracious to fans.

On 10/5/2024 at 1:25 PM, YRfan23 said:

Not sure if this was mentioned, but definitely news to me, Sarah Buxton was on B&B all the way back in 1987 as Donna's friend Wendy, 13 years before she became Morgan.
 

 

She looks so different. Hard to believe it's the same person!

I also know of an early appearance of Maeve Quinlan as an airline representative. This was about three years before she was cast as the receptionist/secretary Megan Conley.

Deacon getting flogged by Stephanie. LMAO

RIP DH, and may God be with his loved ones always.  He DEFINITELY will be missed.

Same. His name came up on a YouTube video and I thought, surely this is a hoax? But nope.

Guys, I'm proudly presenting to you my newest KKL/Brooke music tribute. I hope you enjoy it. ❤️ Let's show those haters that love always wins in the end. 

 

Those scenes with Hollis are hawwwt 🥵

Love it! 😁❤️

Another all-time classic episode.

Stephanie: "Very good question! Ms Logan, who is the father? Or do we even know?" 🤣🤣🤣

Once Sarah Buxton was gone, the show really lost its fun vibe. I was super excited for 2001, but it ended up being kind of a letdown.

By January 2002, things are really heating up again. The show is totally hitting its stride. Ronn Moss absolutely crushed it in the boardroom scene. Usually, his serious face doesn’t do much for the show, but when it comes to a business storyline, he really nails it.

It's funny how hardly anyone brings up 2004. It feels like that year is totally overlooked when people discuss B&B. I don't think the show has even posted any episodes from that year. I only started watching the show regularly from 2005 onwards, so anything before that seems like a blur.

Yes I hope they stick around. But I also hope they can adapt to ever changing viewing habits. Stop dragging them out. Make them run shorter. I can barely get through a 20 minute show. I don't know how people can commit themselves to one hour. The writing would have to be excellent.

That’s my 2 cents anyway

I have to admit I didn't pay much attention to the Constantine storyline. It felt like added filler to the show which at that time was all about the Shane McGrath shooting and Stephanie's crusade to get Brooke's kids taken off her.

Judging by our amazing @Troppo's playlist of season 15... I think the skipped episodes... are slowing down and it looks like they are finally fixing the things in the future. I hope to God. 

Thank you 🥰 Yes it looks like they've got 2002 sorted. Fingers crossed.

Can someone link to these said blooper episodes? I don't think I've seen them.

I remember one episode the director (it was a guy, probably Michael Stich) is shushing everyone while shouting the episode number and tape date. I was like whoa! 🤣

And Miss Deveney Dixon, I mean Kelly "Bold and the Beautiful 5452 10 21 2008". She gets straight to the point! 🤣😛

in case YT decides to replase the wired uncut version of the blooper episodes - i am keeping them! lol it is kind of funny to have those even if i want the onces who aired 

I just had a neat idea. What if we did a compilation of all the director shouts and make it a two hour long movie? 🤣🤣🤣

I just replied to one of their comments. It appears even they aren't aware of how many episodes were skipped.

Old vs new

Here's an interesting audio/visual comparison between the older vs newer upload of episode 3666. Old one has mono audio, the newer one is in stereo. So it leads me think that it's some sort of error with the digitising process.

1 hour ago, Maxim said:

Yep, they are skipping episodes left and right on youtube. Did not respond to my email.  I guess we'll never have these episodes till Videoland catches up in couple of years. 

Hate to break it to you but I think Videoland will stop at the end of S12. Why would they continue to pay for exclusivity rights to a show that's already on YouTube?

Yes, I noticed that too. 

 

But anyways - a huge thank you to the angel for keeping the vault alive and kicking. 

https://tvtonight.com.au/2020/05/a-bold-beautiful-fans-ultimate-episode-list.html

BTW, sometimes I use this list to help myself with episodes. It's cute. 

That's a good list. I've been thinking of making one myself. Just not entirely sure how to present it and whether or not to put episodes into different categories (such as marriages, births, deaths, milestones et cetera).

I would also like to create a specific list of select quotes from a character and episode. There are plenty of good ones that people love to refer back to but can't hunt down the specific episode. The official channel attempts to do it with video shorts, but they don't always pick the best scene.
