Ah yes, thats the guy! Okay, so I guess he won't stick around for long then Thank you!

I was watching the old episodes from 1996. And there is the guy that seems to work in Jabot with Ashley. And if I understood the German pronunciation correctly, is his name Adam Hunter? Who is he?

I was rooting for France this year. While I think Maneskin did a great show and I can see why it won, it was not my type of music.

Re: the vault - I have my own person drive, so even if bookmark the vault, when I click on it, my browser takes me to my drive instead of the vault. Maybe if you don't sure the drive personally, then it would work. About the latter part of your post... I do think people in soap business don't like soaps. I have been thinking that for many years. Which is weird that someone would produce something that they don't like their own product. But I am grateful for the episodes of B/B that we get. So far I am still in summer 1987 and so far all the episodes are intact, as far as I can see. But I can imagine that an episode missing a key moment like the slap between Stephanie and Brooke would be a very jarring omission. Maybe something was wrong with the copy and nothing can be done to fix it?

Indeed, I love both Johnson and Flannery. Others are very hit and miss. Even when I bookmark the link to the vault, in time it stops working for me, so I don't have it.

Oh yes! Definitely! This is around time when I last watched DAYS. I stopped watching after the Ben serial killer storyline finished. I loved seeing Jason Cook during the anniversary.

I know a lot of people don't love that period, but I started watching with 1999 episodes and I loved all of it. Some of my favorite soap opera periods, all the way until 2004/2005...

@Soapsuds yes, it's good to see so many people from way back when still (or again) posting. When I came back to SON few months, I didn't think I'd find anyone who was posting from the early days of SON, but I was wrong, so that was cool Although I am not sure I remember KevinC? Hmmm... @KLN It has been long time indeed. Yeah, doing good, thanks! Hope you are too. It has to be like 10 years since we chatted, probably even more. Back in the day when we used to have those group video chats and played online Big Brother hhahaha Fun times! Speaking of MM and BB, I always thought MM was a decent actress, she just never was Belle to me, even if she was a good casting choice as Marlena's daughter. I remember when we went from KS (to Charity Rahmer, eek!) to MM, it was so jarring becuase Martha was nothing like KS. She was older (and looked it) and while KS was bubbly and sweet, Martha seemed way more mature and serious. They never should have aged Belle and Shawn so much. Beermer was okay to me. Never had an issue with him.

I've been watching Caroline's rape stuff and Joanna Johnson has been really good!

Cassie Brady... I mean, Rex keeps coming back... why not her? I always liked Alexis Thorpe.

Oh, sure. I am at point where Nancy Burnett is Beth, but the first Beth is still in the opening credits. I don't know if this is valid or not, but I found this casting site, which has Rosemarie Thomas and they also list B/B among her credits: https://app.castingnetworks.com/talent/public-profile/3dc32fe0-9158-11ea-9bfa-0291f623b406

From what I remember of Ashley Hamilton, he was not good and switching to Eddie Cibrian was a great move.

They certainly are. But looking back, I think Eddie Cibrian would be my favorite.

I don't really follow Junior Eurovision. I find it not fair with kids age 10 singing against kids age 16. Kids at 10 are still kids, singing kiddy songs about toys and grandparents, while kids at 16 can already be proper pop stars, singing about whatever.

On a shallow note... they really had a hot cast. Susan Ward, Sarah Buxton, Tim Adams, Jason George, Eddie Cibrian, Hank Cheyne, Dax Griffin... all so hot...

I think you are right. I did not see the movie, but it sounds like a fair comparison.

I thought it was interesting how she was against portraying Ashley going crazy as a result of the abortion as it would imply that abortion makes women crazy. So she portrayed it differently. That was interesting.

I don't know I saw this when I was first doing episode aircount from imdb and I noticed this confusion with Rosemarie and Carla. Then I started watching B/B from the beginning and for me, the actress always looked the same to me, but in the credits they had two different names in different episodes. So I was confused

I am not afraid (yet) for any of these couples on the still ongoing soaps (I mean I don't watch any ongoing soaps anymore, but I would tune in if any of them were ending). I am sure that one day when they will have the last episode, they will reunite the big couples. If nothing, then off screen where other characters will say that they got a call and so and so reunited. So for Bo and Hope, even if Kristian and Peter do not want to return (and I could see them agreeing to come back if DAYS was done), I think you could have a case where Shawn says that he got a call and Bo was alive and he's off to meet Hope to go meet Bo, or something like this.

Ah yes, I remember it now, this thing about his tennis career. The shed I don't know if they ever showed while I was watching. Or maybe I erased it from my memory, if it was so underwhelming I always hate when prominent characters just disappear without ever being seen again. I think each main/contract character deserves at least some kind of an ending.

Didn't TC have some anger issuer towards the Cranes and there was a shed which he stared at for a long time, but we were not shown what's inside? lol Thats as far as his character development went, I think

Re: TC&Eve - Yeah, possible. Whatever happened to TC? I forgot... he did not stay until the end, right? I did not like Travis Schuldt in the role of Ethan. I found him to be bland and it did not work with the clueless character as you mentioned. I liked Martsolf on DAYS, so maybe I would have liked him as Ethan, had I seen him.

I know, very confusing. I was looking so hard to see the difference between the actresses, but it was difficult. There is Rosemarie Thomas in the actual credits of the show as Alex in this episode. So maybe she was just there for a few episodes and then Carla Herd/Sands took over permanently, but imdb messed it up?

Sorry for the offtopic, but... Omg, so it is really you! Welcome back!

I am gonna repeat what others said that I was surprised that Luis and Sheridan did not end up together. They were such a HUGE couple throughout the years. And I believe Miguel also ended up with Kay and not Charity? I love Kay, she was one of my favorite characters, but I would never want her to end up with a bland person like Miguel. Plus, seeing as how Charity and Miguel were also a big deal for a lot of runtime of the show, I was surprised they did not put them back together. I am also going to say Gabi and Antonio on SuBe. They completely ruined Ricardo's character because of Gabi/Antonio affair and the two I think were hot and gained a following, only to finally have Gabi end up alone. It was her own choice, which is fine, but still, surprised me.
