We are talking about the Y&R episodes of these dates... 'cause they are the crossover-continuation

Come on. It's THE TRUTH! 😂 PS: do we have those 1995 Y&R episodes with Sheila in the Vault?

And the super hideous „decor“ and the producers choice to have the windows with 100% closed view because they don’t want to bother with a proper backdrop. It’s a supposed to be garden house - so what’s the point then!?

What a treat for her to return to GH. Definitely sounds shortterm and very much sidekick alike, but maybe TPTB will realize what a gem Rena Sofer is and bring her back for a longer stint.

I like Taylor's Arabian Night a lot more than I expected to in rewatch. Sure it is cheesy at times and the orphan stuff is laying it thick but it is not nearly as problematic as I imagined it to be in 2023. I loved it back then and still like the plot. Actually, the buildup in some parts of the story should been bigger. Taylor was revealed to be alive rather quickly and she sure got used to her new life fast. And the Morroccans surely are welcoming to this stranger. The royal court is portrayed mure nicer than it is in reality (if you have checked your gossip news in recent years and earthquake news reports in 2023). LOL As for 1994 in general: there is quite some stuff going on but focus and climax moments are missing. Backburning Sheila did not work at all. The Jay Garvin stuff happned literally in 5 seconds. Ivana made a decent villain with moral core, yet they hardly played her as such. Dylan & Jessica were super bland but did not eat the show that much. However, that court story was suuuuuuuuper bad. IMO; the show reeks network interference: there are just too many sprinkles of Melrose Place, Models Inc and BH90210 in this year all of a sudden. CBS obvisouly demanded a de-agigng of the cast and stories, IMO.

Zach is mentioned about 3-4 times after his departure in 1992. A couple of times when Jack suffers his heart attack and Taylor is still considered "dead" (referenced by Stephanie and others...) and in 1997 when Felicia returns to town, the breakup from Zach is mentioned. And I could swear that when Taylor returns from the dead in 2005, Jack quickly drops a line about Zach. But I could be wrong on this one.

Videoland has made such errors before. As for your "seasons" question: the official YouTube started labelling Fall seasons with 1996-1997 beginning in September 1996. However, those who remember the old cbs.com with tons of recaps and other stuff will remember that the website used Spring seasons decades longer. IMO; they started in 2011 (?) when the show went to HD and CBS switches to Fall renewals of its daytime shows. This also happened before. Suddenly, they remove a lot of content... Therefore we cannot thank our gracious uploaders to the Vault enough - this is a dream come true!

IMO; Bill Bell thought that Caroline's cancer and death was already too much sadness for summertime. Therefore he skipped the funeral. I don't agree with this choice, though. The death scene was AMAZING acting-wise. The whole plot was kinda so-so, IMO. The weird disease which was not disclosed, then Caroline looked way too radiant for a while, Ridge moved on after her death in record speed. I'd say there was room for improvement in this execution even though it was a powerful story which lasting effect for a long time.

nope. heavily implied, though, like I am Swede said.

The good old days when the show could afford those big group scenes. I really liked that in 2000 most days on B&B lasted for about 20 episodes. There were so many great climax scenes and moments of must-see-storylines. Of course it was ridiculous for the 50+ group to be super invested in CJ&Amber, but it was a welcome excuse to pit Susan Flannery against Darlene Conley. Talk about golden moments. I noticed that, too. I wonder if they just messed up closing credits because NO ONE ever mentioned that Jack Smith was headwriting back then - and it made no sense to have him as interim HW for such a short time frame.

The whole Taylor&Ridge story until James' arrival is picture perfect super couple storytelling. This couple is fresh and the actors have off-the-charts chemistry. Ridge as the grieving widower is always a super difficult moment for the show because the writers never dared to to the logic step: actually write Ridge off for at least a month. In 1990 he drove off with his bike after Caroline's funeral (which we never got so see which was a HUGE let-down, IMO) and was back in love-story a month later. The show still honored Caroline (the garden scene is soooooo beautiful around the first anniversary of this event!), but in general the pacing was ridiculous in 1990. IMO; the reral stand-out in this time period is Sally/Clarke/Julie. What an amazing storyline! Yep, it was just tragic and shocking at the same time. Adrienne Franntz was the ultimate Brad Bell pet, yet suddenly he lost interest in her in 2004 and then created this suuuuuper weird Big Bear storyline. I did not like Amber after 2003, but this was just random. Indeed, Amber's time on Y&R was a pleasant surprise. She worked well under all the headwriters there and I never had issue with her. I LOVED Amber & Daniel. Her return to B&B didn't bother me. A redux of a WTD-story and the vansihing act into thin air with Baby Rosey (?) was unneeded and made the whole thing superfluous. Agreed! Deacon & Macy were so HOT. And summer 2003 was AMAZING until Brad Bell simply decided to ditch everything that was working. Bringing on Sydney Penny as Samantha, making Brian Gaskill as Ozzy Marone front and center, focussing on Massimo and Jackie (poor Lesley-Anne Down!) and therefore killing all momentum in Rick/Amber/Deacon/Macy was mind-blowing.

You're simply THE BEST. Thank you so much!!!

As an outsider, I would assume that TEN feels they NEED B&B as a catalyst for the Neighbors return and therefore as lead-in...

Wow - that's an epic set of former co-stars involved. And I was never much an OLTL viewer.

Exactly. And keep in mind: Joanna Johnson had lost interest in acting in the mid-90s and started writing even though it took yearsfor her first projects to be made. It might have been also her choice o leave, although I have never got confirmation if she was let go or wanted out.

Sorry to go off-topic: is Peter Bergman a close friend of Brian Cranston!??? i was stunned to see Will & Grace’s Sean Hayes post a bunch of celebrity pics of who visited him for his celebrated New York stage run in “Goodnight Oscar” - and Peter Bergman was the only soap star in those pics - along with Loving vet Cranston.

Im sure this will surprise EVERYONE 😜 Kimberlin Brown as a matter of fact I almost fainted when she replied me on Instagram once, so maybe I would be brave enough for an actual encounter now. Lol

Woohoo. Thank you so much!!!

My best guess as well. Although in this case it's probably that Brad Bell realized that Corett is still super handsome and is loved by all his former Y&R peers. Therefore he offered him a role...

Interesting. I always thought Ivy was a complete retcon and never mentioned before...

Nice! She should be on the show fulltime.

Aww - I'm tempted for a rewatch of the entire BB/BCS world just reading this. THE LEFTOVERS - Season 1 - not exactly sure what I'm seeing but it is amazing. Great acting and fascinating writing. HOMELAND - Just finished the Brody years and started the drone SEASON 4 in Pakistan/Afghanistan. The show holds up extremely well even in second viewing. (Have never seen season 6-8, curious how they were).

Jan-May 2011 was AMAZING. The Throoke wedding, Tim Reid and Morgan and the whole Taylor/Ridge/kids stuff, Deacon terrorizing the Forresters. It was gold! The Latino invasion was kind blah in the summer and never really cared for Massimo was the big fall storyline. Brooke's fall from the Eiffel tower (studio set!) is major camp, though. I'm still gushing over the Macy& Thorne concert in Rotterdam from 1994. Look who I spotted: a very junior Brad Belld and Colleen in the audience!

You guys miss out on the point of the remotes in recent years. They are press tours that they combine with some filming for the on-screen screen product. Exceptions were Cabo San Lucas and the LA remotes. The rest is all PR work combined with a quickie location shoot. That said: the Rome remote is exactly as to be expected. LAME And Emma worked for WEEKS on her dance moves for the "fashion show". One of B&B alltime lows. It was HIGH CAMP

#1930: The Rotterdam concert is about to begin. Talk about a fantastic episode. Darlene Conley sparkles like a diamond in every scene she is in. Sally and Eric awake from their little Martini party on the plane to the Netherlands. Macy is hiding that her throat is aching and secretly uses a respirator. Due to a flight delay, Thorne and Macy have to skip rehearsal at the arena in Rotterdam. I kindly blink out this utter lack of realism that music stars would stage a concert after a 12 hour flight of dry air, in another time zone no less. It makes great drama, though. Just as Sally takes center stage to announce the singing duo, there is one catch. Macy has disappeared – and so has Thorne who is looking for her. Throw in a quickie scene with Ivana and Anthony in L.A. talking about Macy’s health scare plus a wonderful scene with Sheila and Mike where she realizes for the first time that he is her only true friend. They don’t make episodes like this anymore!
