B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
She does really look like her. Tried to compare the voice but I couldn't say that they are identical. Then, she seemed to have various tones of speak during Silk Stalking which is available on YouTube in its entirety. Judging by her IMDb credit, Kapture was already working back then, so I'm convinced by your unilateral feedback that it is her. Thanks!

I was shocked to see those scenes many years ago because they have been around forever in Italian. It's a really bold story climax, yet the built up does not hold up to classic Bill Bell standards. It's like a writer's strike story finished within 5 seconds after the strike has ended which is kinda sad. That said; it's getting reallllllly wicked eventually and perfectly over the top in ca. 2 months' time.

This is actually not true: Shauna is the ulatimate social climber. A trashy blonde who fantasized about RIdge whilst reading a gossip magazine... Just in the past couple of years we had Quinn, Nicole, Ma&Pa Avant, Flo and Dr. B/Zoe as the have-not. Unfortuntaely, this show is always making them rich wayyy too fast, super fast when it comes to wardrobe and they eventually just marry/fall in love witha a FOrrester. At least Zoe recently mentioned that she is broke after beign fired from FC. I agree with you to the extent that it would be nice if SOMEONE would be working his way up (Quinn actually quite good for several years as a solo character until she met Eric...).

Episode 518 has one the (!) all-time (!) dumbest Ridge-moments. I had forgotten about, but it's just un-freaking-believable. The writing is pretty sloppy in March/April 1989... like something you would expect from writer's strike material, yet it occurs on-screen more than 6 months later, so it's hard to put the blame on someone besides Bill Bell, Bradley and Jack Smith. LOL I won't name sth. in particular for those still looking forward to watch it: The Angela story hits its climax and there is more than episode which feels uneven and does not make the most sense. The storyline has a sudden shift which is ok. The dialogue is ok as well, but the pacing/breakdowns of the episodes are terrible at times. Plot points just happen without any connection to another in single episodes - it's really bizarre. Apart from that: it's high time to enjoy the ride because it's getting really good and juicy down the road...

I posted it a couple of pages back: let’s just be happy and count our blessings!!! 1. one would need a Dutch VPN which seem to be rarer than for other countries 2. Videoland is a subscription service, so even if one would get access, one had to pay a monthly fee and make sure that non-Dutch can subscribe 3. one would have to find a way to download from the site, not knowing their coding... that said; I’ll happily stick with Amy Silence‘s uploads. In 10 days she will hit the first major gap of the Marek Logan uploads and Im pumped to see those missing 15 (?) episodes!!!

Just in case no one misses THESE: https://archive.org/details/SmokesVHSTape1120/Tape+1120+Disc+2.ISO Two B&B episodes from July 1992 which are VERY interesting. I must have missed on June-October 1992, I think, 'cause didn't know how long many of the departing characters had stayed that year or came back. Case in point: Blake, Clarke, Kristen are all still around in these episodes... The second episode is HILARIOUS: the finest Spectra camp thanks to the late Darlene Conley and Schae Harrison. They are spectacular during the comic relief designer audition of "the baltic blouse!" and others. LMAO

It’s the first episode that was uploaded by MarekLogan with the polish dubbing. It’s a true miracle that a) the circle is now complete (1987-1992 online sort of...) and b) this time around in pristine picture quality and without the polish dubbing. I re-watched those episodes nearly 3 years ago and did not finish with the few 1992 episodes until earlier this year. But Marek Logan had occasional gaps - and mostly no closing titles. Therefore: bring it on AmySilence!!!

Thanks you've been great guys!! His on-screen name on B&B was Doug Russell I think I will put your savvyness to the text and soon post screencaps of the various character witness during Caroline's rape trial. They are now the most least important (LOL) missing actors to appear on B&B during its first year for who I could not find any credits... And here we go... Male Models at Forrester Creations and wannabe competetion in the romance department for Clarke in regards to Kristen: Greg: Andy Granger Lanford Kingsley

I once chatted with Michael Maloney who worked at various soap mags AND B&B itself; he didn't have a clue on the reason for the Beth switch. As for recating Thorne: I once heard rumblings about alchol problems of Clayton Norcross back in the day. It may also be that Bill Bell was looking for a different Thorne because he was trying to match up Bobbie Eakes For a couple of days this would indeed be cool considering the flashbacks with Brooke and Eric they could show from the reallllly early days. It COULD be him

Spring 2001 was soooooo wild and over the top - and amazing. The Morgan DeWitt story started off very boring, but turned into quite the gem. With Clarke and the python, Morgan falling over the balcony, the Steffy is eaten by a shark "twist", Dr. Tim Reid in LA and of course the climax with Ridge driving into the living room of her house.

As AmySilence’s uploads get really close to the start of season 3 of B&B, I find it fascinating how much house-cleaning has been going on, yet most characters got a proper send-off. Interestingly enough, THREE further additional original cast members (Storm, Katie and Rocco) are gone by March 1989 – leaving Brooke and Donna as the only middle-class Logan-universe relicts. Previously, the show dropped Dave, Mark, Beth and Stephen. Nick Preston who had a pretty timely Pretty Woman-type of storyline and could have easily stayed in Donna’s orbit, is gone as well. Even though Bill Bell killed Donna’s storyline completely, yet he chose her as the only to stay... Judging the acting chops, it was the right decision but it is still puzzling. BTW: Rocco is the only of the four departing characters not getting an exit explanation and will be gone the longest. Exactly 20 (!) years later he will suddenly pop up as an extra at Forrester Creations again. Katie and Storm will return for more or less frequent guest visits, in the case of Storm from 1990-1991 with a new face. It is kinda sad because Ethan Wayne had mostly mediocre material, but he an Lauren Koslow (Margo) clicked even though he was just serving as her attorney. On the behind the scenes front, Frederick Johnson joined the show as a writer in March 1989. He would quickly shift to Y&R and later work for maaaaaaaany different shows and have another stint at B&B in 2006 and I wasn’t aware previously aware that he got his start writing for the Forresters. I’m now curious when James E. Reilly will pop up in the credits and if it will correspond with certain storylines. Thoughts of those watching those classic episodes right now?
