Thank you! You put in a lot of effort - appreciated. just to clarify my earlier post: I applaud B&B for doing such podcasts. And I assume some people like them. Yet, I haaaaate these overlong talk formats compared to reading a well crafted and edited written interview.

A location shoot is a location shoot. Aspen is okay I think Casey recently went to Aspen with KKL and her hubby on vacation!? SO maybe they were checking out filming locations!ß Thnaks for sharing and surviving the podcast. It's just sooo long (and much filler).

It's been a while but I couldn't find an onscreen credit for an actor who appeared in #1657 (October 1993): Paging @slick jones Bill's attorney Gary Bartlett - who played him?

+1 Had forgotten about them being spouses but really liked the pairing. Surprisingly, this sounds like a fun crossover.

I think the Hope mannequin (not doll, please! ;-)) was in November/December 2020. contrary to many others I liked this story A LOT. It’s at least controversial and worth to check out…

Season 2 had its golden moments like Kristen/Clarke and the Angela suspense (plus some super strong acting of Susan Flannery!), yet everything pales in comaprison to the 1990-1992 Spectra clan. Everything feels just so fresh and organic with all of these characters (minus Mick Savage) that it is just great TV.

A picture in the opening credits does not equal to the actor being on contract. Just take the little kid who used to play Douglas: Henry Joseph Samiri had a picure in the credits... Aaron D. Spears (Justin) was also in the opening and not always on contract. The list could go on and on. About my post in regards to Larewnce St. Victor: he joined the show on contract in 2013 with Karla Mosley but was bumped to recurring in 2014 or 2015. He was not put back on contract until 2020 or so. That's why Rena Sofer is correct that a longstanding castmember should follow suit in her dressing room and at the same time it is not like the show has been shunning LSW. And I repeat that several contract players do not have their own dressing room. It has always been the case.

Nah, this one is way too easy. Lawrence St Victor has been recurring with B&B for years. Recurring players have no dressing room. Period. And even when you get put on contract you often have to share your dressing room on B&B. Racist B&B gave Lawrence St Victor the chance to write - how bad of them!

One the spare silver linings of Rena Sofer's exit. I don't think the show will keep Darrin Brooke around either. He seems to have other projects anyway, so it's time for Wyatt to sail off in the sunset.

Bummer - so there will be no real exit. With this background story, it’s likely for her last episode to be absolutely bland - and Quinn will just disappear. Mentioned by Carter in a month or so. Damn! This comparison is unfair, IMO. Rena Sofer has made it clear in this linked Interview above that she has expectations as an actress which BTW are totally understandable. Meanwhile, it seems that Jennifer Gareis on the other is happy to be on soaps and collect a paycheck. Her daughter is much younger, she is happily married - so it seems like B&B recurring or contract is equally fine to her because it is not one of her priorities in life to play challenging material. A friendly workplace which blends with ones personal life is good for some while others want a little more. Rena Sofer seems to belong to the latter group. And let’s all not forget: with 9 years this is the longest employment she has ever had.

I always assumed he was (but don’t have any proof for that). Simply because he was the first male to get EmmY recognition for his work on B&B. Five straight nominations and including one win as outstanding supporting actor - back in the days when not even Susan Flannery got nods.

I noticed that too. I assumed it was one of those rare moments where the outlines were not precise enough for the script writers or someone who was supposed to do script editing messed up. The Connor / Steve part made sense for me because Eric's ultimatum had nothing to do with the actual events, Connor getting his hands on the file. On a non-spoilerish note I have now reached #1640. There's a new doctor in town. I was kinda suprised by Ian Buchanan's entrance because he was styled to the max. Meaning Hollywood glamour makeup/supermodel aura - even more handsome than in his other early new 90s work like Columbo. However, James is supposed to be a tortured soul - I just don't think a psychiatrist would style that way if he were that conflicted... And by that I'm already ignoring the fact that not that many psychiatrists are that good looking but on B&B all of them are: Taylor, Jay, James...

I have just reached #1636: Ian Buchanan is already in the closing credits, but has not appeared yet - which is unusual. I'm really curious about his debut... On an equally thrilling note: Mike is back. And it's just sooo good. I guess Sheila is getting herself a dog soon... LOL

That’s how I read as well. DAYS might be cheaper than a lot of other program types and at least add volume to the Peacock streaming inventory which they can promote. Hours and hours of entertainment options… however, if the subscriber numbers won’t go up, the daily format or even the entire show is dead by next year. and making a show, which most people watch out of habit because it is on TV at a certain time, premium for a streaming service site is a wild bet. Maybe those Beyond Salem tryouts worked well enough for Peacock which lacks blockbuster content so far, so that all worries are unnecessary. But I wouldn’t count on it. Switching DAYS to peacock in the free service section for a couple of months before moving it behind the pay-wall would be much smarter, IMO.

The genes. Sheilas genes. 😜

The whole angles used around Kevin worked a lot better than most PSA stories. Actually, it was so touching (I don’t want to spoiler Y&Rfan1983) when something really shocking happens around #1615. In my memory, the arrivals of James and Anthony more or less kill any momentum for future stories of the Anderson brothers, which would be too bad because these character do work surprisingly well. as for 1994: I remember to find Dylan and Jessica very dull / the storyline unlikeable because I never got why Eric and Stephanie went so ballistic against Dylan. I really look forward to the Universal Studios Remote. Can’t remember whether it was just a clip or one or two episodes where the young lovers enjoyed the amusement park. The rest makes it my alleine favorite year as well. Will be interesting to see whether this assessment will still stand out

Not sure about the dates this year but July/August television city is usually dark for at least 3 weeks, sometimes more. That’s why taping to airdate is so close right now. By taping a double episode each day it will soon be back to 6-8 weeks advance…

+1 to all of this Im shocked and disappointed to see Rena Sofer walk out because she showed again what a fantastic actress she is by playing Quinn. She made all of the outlandish material work - and elevated it to must-see TV. Adam & Eve anyone!? that said, 9 years is a long time and much longer than a lot of us predicted it to be. I was pleasantly surprised that in recent years Quinn become more than Wyatt’s mom - pairing her with John McCook really was a blessing. Now it also makes sense why the show eventually decided on ending Eric & Quinn. She is more fluid with Carter… I wonder if she will get a real exit. I really that she does. Maybe that diamond dude Ricardo’s death catches up on her and she has to leave town quickly. Or something totally different. Just please no non exit like for such long running characters like Nick, Jackie and Massimo.

Uhhh yeah, that one of a lifetime moment to de-virginize someone in the wake of a near death experience. Haven’t we experienced it all!? I’m REALLY curious how I feel about these episodes today…

Hahaha - no one will recognize her. It’s like Quinn stalking Ivy in Paris with the biggest hat ever…

Lmao at the mannequin memes (BTW contrary to most I really liked that story and thought it was well done…). What happened to the previous Douglas? The actor was pure gold: „Phoebe is Baby Beth…“ and „Beth is alive“ gave me goosebumps and laughter at the same time. And when Thomas was gaslighting his own son… and finally, this is Thomas‘ son. Bye Hope! Plotwise I appreciate that the show picks up with these characters after being Sheila and Steffy/Finn centric for a long time.

I haven’t been watching in ages, but is Billy now 200 years old? While her acting sticks still annoy the hell out of me, Michelle Stafford ist ageing pretty well.

This promo is classic soap. I love it. And of course it is soap 101 that such a “storyline” means that Sheila is NOT gone and will not go anywhere. It’s like those other biiiiiiig secret in soapland which must never come out.

Not so sure about the 70 and early 80s because so little connection to current cast, but late 80s onwards is such a sure bet. Production values were amazing and most actors are still on the show.

It’s just UNBELIEVABLE that the first 8 season are soon online in its entirety. A dream come true!
