One more goodie. Thanks for sharing

In all fairness he almost made it into 1988 and was dropped around Christmas 1987. ‘Cause Brooke has style ya know. 😜

Just found a source that states that CBS indeed started in 1991 to preempt its soaps for March Madness... https://books.google.de/books?id=n0XnwcbNmPsC&pg=PA105&lpg=PA105&dq=cbs+march+madness+1990+preemption&source=bl&ots=KWrYDFV6cm&sig=ACfU3U2DvfsOJQyqJr2MPJeOl0lEMSw0vw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwid86v-vNTpAhXMDewKHalOAUoQ6AEwCHoECAwQAQ#v=onepage&q=cbs march madness 1990 preemption&f=false Speaking of preemptions, though: it seems there was one for B&B in early 1990 (maybe: February 18, 1990???) but I cannot find a proper cause. Anyone else have his on record? Kind of depends on what airdate one has for the beginning of Season 4 on March 23, 1990: I have it as #751.

This interview must have been from 1999!

It's one of those time frames where my personal records are not 100% correct. My assumption is that B&B was NOT fully pre-empted in January 1991, but there were several in Feb/Mar/Apr 1991: I have the obvious January 1 plus Feb 18, March 7 and March 17, April 5 & 8 & 9 as pre-emptions as based on the list of Bill Bell B&B scripts; usually there should have been March Madness and therefore these April pre-emptions might be incorrect after all. I don't know: I'm pretty sure that we had 7 missing episodes in the first 4 months of 1991, though.

Much appreciated, thanks!!!

RE the CBS Classics: anyone care to share the camptastic BROOKE'S BEDROOM episode from 1998?

They were. I think Joanna Johnson told Bill Bell around Xmas 1989 that she wanted out and leave B&B when her contract expired in March 1990. Bill Bell managed to sign JJ to a short contract extension so that he could finish their Love story in style. Hence the quick turnaround to the wedding and in another 6 months Caroline will be dead

+1 I'd also add the pristine picture quality of some of these uploads as a dream. They play really well on my TV - unlike some frickling VHS tape recordings.

For the data nerds out there: Rick & Ambers wedding is # 2989-2991 which originally aired February 22-24, 1999 on CBS Taylor rejects Pierce is #2994, airdate March 1, 1999 This would be AMAZING. 1993-1995 is a period I'd love to rewatch and even with all the treats we have received lately (Amy Silence, rusclassicfan and the Vault...) it is still the time frame where he have seen the least episodes.

Thank you - it’s a very soaps B&B period. Back then I hated Kimberly and the Amber overdose was a bit much, but compared to the present it was magnifient soap and the show was firing on all cylinders. Everything felt in place after some hiccups in 1997-1998...

#698 is removed; #699 is up there

Best Catfights: Macy vs. Brooke Date: July, 21, 1999 Episode: #3094 -> the closing credits do not match the episode though; the cast credits do not belong to the week where this episode aired!? Stephanie vs. Brooke Date: August, 03, 1999 Episode: #3103

These episodes are soooo good with Clarke's duplicity. It's truly a house of cards that he is building... just wait what happens next about "the dream house". Hence, it is nice concept that it is eventually Kristen who does the same to Clarke that he did to her - with Mick. However, the writing is not there for Kristen or Dan McVicar is a much better actor because I've always been TEAM CLARKE in this storyline. You can click your way though and download one file at a time. I just started my first download of the 1999 episodes. I seems to take 35 minutes per file without registering...

1993 would be super amazing!!!

How cool! Thank you! 2003 and 2004 used to be around on the internet in its entirety. First on YT, then on Dailymotion. Recordings from the English DIVA channel. Not sure if these videos are still to be found these days... She was Becky's colleague at Forrester International in Paris. Regardless of her status, it was recurring role which didn't last long. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0884419/?ref_=tt_rv_t6

B&B and Y&R historically begab their new seasons at their anniversary - therefore both in March... however, in 2012 (?) or so CBS began to renew its daytime show in sync with the rest of Shows. The soap season Therefore now starts in early September.

Not sure for 1987, but for the other years I should have the correct airdates 1987: 001-188 1988: 189-441 1989: 442-693 1990: 694-947 Most importantly: AmySIlence's season numbering is incorrect. Season 4 did not start until March 1990...

It’s too bad that the show never really recaptured the magic of Clarke and Dan McVicars Talents after his 1996 return. There were some brights spots like tongue in cheek talks with Lauren in 1997, the Morgan Story in 2000, the brief CJ/Mark quarrel in 2002 and some early Jackie M stuff in 2007 oder so. Overall, a majorly wasted male role and actor. Typical B&B pattern. In Amy Silence‘s current uploads from December 1989 there is a lot of Bill Spencer Senior. And Jim Storm is an amazing actor. Unfortunately this is one of the very rare moments where he is adequately used on this show... there will be more meaty with Margo and Jake in 1990/1991 but that’s it besides the usual Caroline or Karen meddling

Kristen & Clarke were dynamite. Her only good story ever, though. I was impressed that Kristen & Mick even got a remote scene in 1989 at LaBrea I had never heard of before. Bill Bell surely invested in this couple but somehow everything about Mick bombed. At least, it never transpired why THREE women were so interested in him at the same time with Donna, Macy and Kristen.

I started watching with Brooke&Eric being married and Stephanie being a bitter b*tch, so I always liked them together even though Brooke never treated Eric with enough decency. I might have feltdifferently about Brooke&Eric if I had seen the show in chronological order, dunno. I HAAAATED Eric and Beth, though. I was totally team Stephanie during that storyline.

It came indeed out of the blue but Stephanie was her typical meddling self back then, Eric the usual horny Brooke defending goat, so I guess: it all made perfect sense. LOL And the build-up is still there as the marital problems started to be visible in late November and there is still some way to go until Eric hits it up with Brooke. Looking forward to the next couple of episodes...

I think we are greeding with all the richess of uploads as of late. With full episodes and hundreds of consecutive ones at that. It just shows that thanks to the worldwide appeal of B&B, there is the chance to find most shows ever aired online. With patience... Back to the wonderful AmySilence's uploads: I have been finishing the Deveney Dixon storyline which found its climax in episode #683. On the Polish Marek Logan channel back in the day, there were quite a bit of missing episodes and the dubbing voice sometimes prevented me from getting the actual gist. What a treat to finally see it in its entirety. And Judith Borne who played "Angela" was VERY good. A pity that they never fully put closure on that character/storyline. The ending was fulfilling but not ideal. Recasting Thorne was also quite a burden, but I think Jeff Trachta did a better job with the revelation than Clayton Norcross would have been able to deliver. What are your thoughts on the Deveney Dixon storyline? With the next couple of episode 1989 will come to a close and some MAJOR reshuffling will start. Kristen and Mick will be dropped (THANK GOD - I now hate them more than I remembered) and Joanna Johnson's decision to leave B&B in 1990 will cause some epic but shortlived moments. It's not until long that Brooke comes into Eric's orbit. The seeds have already been layed.
