Hayley all about the come up.

Depending on how well the 1987 and 1988 episodes do, Shout!TV might upload the rest of the Bill Bell years.

Ho in the street trying to be a lady in the street.

MZ daughter on the Locher Room gave the impression that she wanted to call out Les Moonves, Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, and Paul Rauch and put them on blast for what went down w/ MZ but she held herself back.

I am intrigued by the thought of Roger and Annie in each other's orbits. I haven't deep dived into November 1994-April 1997 to see if Michael Zaslow and Cynthia Watros interacted with each other.

They knew you were attempting a tank job 🤣

Agree, Trisha Mann-Grant is the breakout star of BtG. She should move on to bigger and better things after her initial contract is up. Andre/Dani are everything. I love that he's being supportive of her.

As of today B&B is the 8th longest-running daytime drama on US network television, after General Hospital, Guiding Light, Days, As the World Turns, Y&R, One Life to Live, All My Children. Two key dates: Tuesday March 23, 2027 will be B&B 40th anniversary. Monday December 11, 2028 if B&B is still on CBS, it will have had a longer run than All My Children on US network television.

That's some Tyler Perry s--- right there. Hahaha, love this!

The aftermath of OJ. Then again, both shows were not in a good place creatively in June 1994.

Thank you for the reply @Khan Roscoe Born was 44 in 1994 and Lane Davies was 43 in 1994 so I don't think age would be an issue, considering Ron Raines was 45 in 1994. If we go by CB birth year 1940, how many big name soap actors of that age (give or take a couple years) were available in 1994? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I think the friend JFP wanted for Alan was either Roscoe Born or Lane Davies. Would either of them have worked?

Terry Lester left ATWT sometime in Spring 1994 (I can't remember the exact time, but I'm pretty sure it was before OJ), so the timing works but I'm not sure if P&G ever considered him as a potential Alan recast. Alan got de-aged with Ron Raines (45 in 1994), so Terry Lester age (44 in 1994) would not have been an issue.

Maureen was not boring. She was the anchor/tentpole of the community. GL being a community-based show needed an anchor/tentpole character to keep things grounded and JFP failed to realize that.

It was posted in the "They Almost Became" thread that GL offered the role of Buzz Cooper to Terry Lester but he turned it down and instead took Royce on ATWT. Perhaps Justin Deas wasn't GL's original choice but his casting was another Friend of Jill incident.

You're welcome @alwaysAMC

I wonder if Andre was influenced by Y&R Malcolm. Photographer, popular with the ladies. Sean Freeman is not Shemar Moore level yet though.

@alwaysAMC I don't know of any other streaming sites but maybe DVDs are floating around for cheap somewhere online. Then again, with DVDs there's still the same issues of episodes being cut because of music or episodes having music replaced. Also DVDs might have cut syndication episodes vs. full original broadcast episodes.

Jon Lindstrom was born in 1957. We can't be casting actresses born 1945-1947 as his mother.

Like I said before, Andre/Dani are the soap couple I didn't know I needed. I haven't come across any site that lists songs played on the show. Wishful thinking, but maybe a soundtrack eventually released.

I love this take Don't forget the off the charts heat generating love scenes set to an R&B slow jam.

IRL Sean Freeman (Andre) is 4 or 5 years older than Jibre Hordges (Jacob). Oh yes. 100% this.

1988/89 was the writer's strike delayed season and so many shows felt off. CBS Sunday lineup of 60 Minutes; Murder, She Wrote; and Sunday Movie kept CBS primetime afloat through that third place primetime mess era 1987-1991.

1995/96 was dominated by NBC Thursday: ER #1, Seinfeld 2nd, Friends 3rd. I don't count the NBC Thursday garbage shows that made the Top 10. 1995/96 was CBS 1990s primetime nadir. They were being sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. Their only Top 10 show was 60 Minutes.

At this point I'm reading recaps and fast forwarding through the garbage time.
