Troppo

Thanks angel for the fresh uploads. I noticed immediately that all but four of the episodes are in true stereo sound. And what is that godawful CGI at the end of episode 2667? Dear god 🤣 1997 is the year of really fast credits. I was having to rewind every so often because they would change so quick. Holy moly.

Speaking of Rebecca Budig, I tracked down the episode she appeared in 1994. It's episode 1857.

Let's face it, Thudley loves to troll everyone through absurd, nonsensical writing. It's been this way for over 30 years. He is totally unserious as a writer and doesn't care if the stories lack cohesion, logic or continuity. Everything goes in circles. No one ever learns from their mistakes. Hypocrisy is the formula.

All I ever read on YouTube is how Thudley loves "his" Logan and how she does "favours" for him. You know where I'm going with this lol. It all sounds so absurd.

😹🤭 I don't watch the current show but since when is Hope the trampy one? I thought that was Steffy. Seems a bit rich of Steffy to act all high and mighty, lording it over others when she herself has a questionable record. Not that I want to go there but the prevailing narrative is that Bradley ruined the character and made her stoop to Brooke's level because he hated Taylor's character so much. Much of that era is largely ignored by a certain fanbase. I agree! One point of difference is that Taylor never slept with unavailable men, whereas Brooke chased after unavailable attached men. Seems like a valid argument which I won't argue with. Brooke did try and split up Ridge and Taylor which was wrong. But Ridge himself is also largely to blame as well.

I remember the storyline. It was nice to see a softer, more vulnerable side to Stephanie. But as soon as therapy was over, she was back to her old ways, if not meaner and nastier than before. She didn't learn anything. She just made excuses for her abusive behaviour and carried on being abusive towards others. I agree the first time Brooke slapped her was the best one. It came out of nowhere and it rattled Stephanie. The next two slaps didn't have the same effect. In fact Stephanie came back swinging and nearly snapped her neck in half! Poor KKL lol The campy moments of B&B are fun, but they haven't aged all that well IMO. Calling Brooke derogatory names and sl*t shaming? It starts to sound like a broken record. Yes we know what Brooke is. Tell us something we don't know?!

One thing that always irked me about Stephanie was her constant resorting to physical violence (slapping is a form of assault). She punched down on Brooke because Brooke never faught back. Yet when Sheila did it, it was "abnormal behaviour, pathological". REALLY?! No, that was you getting your ass handed to you from someone who wasn't afraid to fight you back you old windbag. Don't get me wrong, I loved when Stephanie would stand up for the underdog. But too many times she also used excessive force on people physically weaker than her (women especially) and that wasn't fair.

I was so disgusted with that storyline. I read that Susan Flannery also didn't like it and asked Brad Bell to consider toning it down. It was about this time she took a leave of absence (citing fibromyalgia). KKL did amazing work. It should have won her an Emmy for sure.

It's times like these I'm so thankful for the vault!

I'm sharpening my teeth too 👹

I recall @rsclassicfanforever posting how the channel had uploaded up to episode 3687 as of February 29th of this year, so the episodes we're seeing now were uploaded at least six months ago, or more. Plenty of time to go back and fill in the gaps. It sounds like they upload episodes randomly, not sequentially.

Also #3678 and #3679

You're welcome. Season 15 is gonna be soooo good 😁

Thanks Angel for uploading 1997 episodes. Much appreciated! The first batch of Season 15 episodes has just appeared on the YouTube channel, but with no working playlist, so I've gone ahead and created one just in case. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK_-2dQaSbX3nPElIKtwoVKrEkUqYSYCp

You're welcome!

@Maxim You can use the one I created https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK_-2dQaSbX0B-INiGHroGZlYyepVqLsc

Ugh, so sorry to hear that. I thought the KKL video was fun and cute. Nothing about it was offensive in any way. How sad that people dedicate time and energy into actively hating a soap actress and bullying fans. Just leave the fans and the fanclubs alone. In other news, we had another glitchy video today, episode 3455. The channel still hasn’t fixed any of the said issues, nor have they sorted out the S14 playlist. Come on guys, get it together please.

I just use my spreadsheet to sort out the seasons. Easier than navigating the YT channel.

Mine too. Susan looks great for an almost 85 year old!

Someone has uploaded the missing episode from the vault to YouTube.

I keep up to date with the show vicariously through you guys. So thanks for taking one for the team! 😂😂😂 What's with this show and pizza? Is that all they eat? Pizza and more pizza. Does Bradley have a pizza fetish?

I enjoyed 1994-1998 for the Dylan and Grant eye candy mostly; something that is sorely lacking in 2000. Although that Antonio guy from 2001 seems to have a pretty face. I thought 1997 was a tad boring in parts. Sheila getting Mike to sabotage a dishwasher was hilarious though. The Who Shot Grant storyline was ruined by the lack of music, so I may have to go back and rewatch it.

I'm with you all the way. But why does it have to be a mistake? I want Brooke to own it like the Samantha Jones she once was. Mistake implies that she feels remorse for her sexual desires and reinforces these antiquated and misogynistic beliefs that women suddenly stop being sexy and promiscuous once they reach a certain age. How ironic that this was once THE show that pushed the envelope with borderline incest storylines and scandalous pregnancies with your son-in-law among other things 🙊 Also, your poll should have an "All of the above" option. Tehehehe

I love that you can now play videos directly in Google Sheets. It makes accessing episodes so much more seamless. Too bad the embedded video cannot be moved around like a floating window, but at least you can resize it. Just wanted to say thank you for your suggestions. Did the trick 🥰

The VPN I was using to stream the latest episodes from the CBS website has now stopped working. Which has made the job of collecting writer and director information all the more difficult. Thanks CBS 🙄
