They really did something right with the inital Kevin story. It's PSA material - but in a good way. Too bad, they ran out of ideas shortly later - Kevin and Keith are still around intil fall 1995 but more as recurring/day players. The move to Spectra Fashions did not give them much story unfortunately. I was also bummed that they dropped bringing on Ruthanne more... Yep, the Vault is still working fine. The downloading issues have always been around - but only occasionally. Maybe if a lot of people are accessing or broadband issues on the dowloader's part. no idea. Google drive has the same issues.

@DaytimeFanand @Cat thank you both so much for sharing these wonderful memories and stories of the late Angela Lansbury. I have utmost admiration for her long career starting with the old b/w movies - and MSW in particular. May she rest in peace.

In Atkinson's inital storyline in July 2019 he also appeared in 22 of 23 episodes.

True! The writers sure knew what they had with this kid because "Douglas" had some iconic scenes in repeat mode. "I know who you are. You are Beth" or "Phoebe is Baby Beth!" Plus, the episodes where Thomas scared the sh*t out of his son were cruel but made amazing material on screen. He most definitely should have gotten a younger actor Emmy for those storylines... Tells you what these awards mean these days. I think the fact that this kid is super busy outside B&B shows that casting directors see the talent.

That's no shameful statement. Samiri is one of those really rare finds for the perfect kid actor. He nails all dialogue and has chemistry with everyone on set. Happy to see him back at B&B!

Around the time when Alley's real-life husband was killed, she stopped appearing on B&B - way back in 2019. Surprisngly, she popped up in 2021 for Steffy's wedding and also had a couple of episodes this year. While the show continues to pretend that Pam is still secretary at Forrester Creations, she is not seen at a regular basis.

Cool for Alley Mills. She's a class act

I caught a rerun of this show like 10 years ago on a local station. While it wasn't the strongest primetime soap by far, the stetting was intriguing and Morgan Fairchild made for great TV. Mark Harmon really showed that he had lots of potential. The writing was kinda so-so (the Voodoo stuff was one of a kind), but overall the show held my attention for its entire run.

SSH was in the running for Stephanie Forrester, but Susan Flannery was the first choice. I agree with your comment about Brenda Dickson. She was great in this episode. Unfortunately within the following 2 years she went for full camp mode and highly inconsistent. Therefore Jess Walton was the ultimate jackpot because she quickly stepped into these shows and graced us with her amazing acting chops. It's still criminal that the show minimized her 2006 onwards.

What a treat to see yet another 1984 episode. I thought Brenda Dickson gave a surpringly strong (and nuanced) performance in it - and Beth Maitland was very strong (as usual).

In think he was originally a DJ friend of Rick's. Then, he kind always showed up around their Aspen remotes. LOL https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4757827/ Do you mean Jarrett? Or was there a character called Oliver who *I* cannot remember...

Hahaha - talk about random. oh wow. I hope "His acting" has improved or they give him some easier scenes than in the past.

Wow - a 1984 Y&R episode. Plus, Whitney Houston appeared on ATWT??? Please go off-topic and fill me in - I had never heard about it before.

Not in the classic (romantic) sense. However, Adam/Myles from 1999 until his sudden exit in 2000 plus Clarke ca. 2001-2006 really fit the description as a true friend and confidant, IMO.

I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Gareis from her Y&R days, but her Donna debut was so disrespectful to longtime viewers it's hard to accept her till this day. The inital storyline were sh*tty as well, so this didn't help either. Her Donna was only fun with Eric and as a rival to Pam. That said, 2006-2008 was so uneven with the Newbie Logans.

I have now reached December 1993 (with many more episodes to go, what a treat!) and Taylor is now in Scotland with James. I'm torn on this story; knowing HOW it all turns out it is not that interesting of a storyline. But from a writer's perspective, I guess, this is well-plotted. Kimberlin Brown is now havily pregnant and wearing clutches (?) and other big hand bags. LOL And #1686 had some more males models - which unfortunately are never credited. I thought one of them was Dorian Gregory of CHARMED fame who had already guest starred on B&B earlier in 1993. This time they saved on his wardrobe, though... ANybody else recognized him or am I wrong?

Good catches. This is quite a lot of stuff from 1995 with James in the dungeon etc. - and back in the day this would have been the ultimate gold dust. Full episodes in pretty good condition. Just shows how spoiled we have been by the Videoland and Official YouTube uploads in recent years and months. I'll wait for the Videoland episodes to reach 1995 for now, but these should be 12 consecuitve episodes, I guess.

It's super weird that they are beginning with September episodes. Not just because it was not the proper season beginning but also because many stories were almost headed for climax back then. Anyway, I'm glad that they do because I'm very anxious for closing credits. The first four uploads had no cast or crew credits yet, so hopefully tomorrow's uploads will deliver. I've wondered for years who played henchman Rocky... BTW: for those who don't know. Model Kim Swanson is palyed Cindy Ambuehl. Today (well for more years...) she is a high calibre realtor and known as Mrs. Don Diamont. I didn't like the gambling plot either, although it was something different. Similar to James' introduction or Jake's The show was at least trying to add unique characters. Nowawayds they are all just designers and models - and yet we don't get fashion shows anymore. Yawn! But back to Jack: the show really missed out on developing Jack as a father figure because Taylor is seen with Jack occasionally but the bond with Stephanie is so much stronger. And all other aspects of Jack did get way too little storyline material as well. Looking at fall 1993 it is indeed shocking that he will be around for two more years before going for annual visits from 1996-1999.

Yep, if I recall correctly it was connected to Shauna exposing her and Qunn's treachery about the 2020 Las Vegas "wedding" of Ridge and Shauna. Shauna was super cosy with Eric afterwards and this sparked Quinn's jealousy.

Sally means the lack of support from Stephanie and the rest of the Forresters. Or in Sally's view: the family always showed hostility and/or lack of trust to Macy because they hate Sally. The only real event shown onscreen: the police going after Macy on behalf of the Forresters over the theft of the BeLieF formula.

You are expecting too much (logic) from this show. I said it before Rena Sofer's last episode and will say it again: Quinn won't get a proper exit - other than a throwaway line. And Shauna is probably back to sex it up with Ridge and will neither meet Wyat (her quasi son in law!?) nor talk about Quinn. I'd be stunned if it were the case. Stunned.

This is random now that Rena Sofer is gone. Its better news than Darrin Brooks being back, though.

Doey anyone why B&B used Vicki Lawrence in her then TV talk show "Vicki!" to feauture a fake/staged interview with Charlton Heston to "promote" the Salute to Hollywood fashion show??? According to wikipeda Vicki! was syndicated (and not a CBS show), so I was quite surprised that B&B decided to incoprate her with her real talk show.

I was just about to chime in: @AbcNbc247- at what episode are you at the moment? I have also basically zero memories of early 1994, but as soon as Kim Brown is back from her maternity leave things should heat up considerably. I'm curious whether Taylor's death will work for me slightly as good as the first time around knowing that it is, well, a fake-out. Fall 1994 should be dynamite with Morroco.

Does anyone remember soap gossip from back then. Was Jeff Trachta already his music career? Y&R's Michael Damian was on Broadway in 1994 in JOSEPH, right? Jeff Trachta did GREASE in 1996 which they did incorporate in the show, but I wodner if he had some musical engagements before or whether he was really shipped off for storyline purposes.
