Why would SS stay longer on the show if LK was ready to take over? OMG LK acted like a bratty teenager when she first came on... I think with some actors you can tell they don't have an ounce of evil in them. The same happened with Jess Walton on Y&R. I mean, I don't know these women personally, of course, but they strike me as people that would not hurt a fly... Hence they were not suited to play vixens like at all.

Gosh, back then I thought those years were godawful. In retrospect, the show was decent compared to what it is now! Why was the original Felicia recast? She looked fine. They have cemented LK in the role, even though it is extremely recurring.

Old P&G soap episodes used to be streamed in 2008 or so. I know because I began watching AW thanks to that. I can't imagine it was too much of an investment to stream them, but of course they took it down after a while, so something did go wrong I guess... Sad.

But Sony is not involved in B&B.

^ Not even once, but at least PB's portrayal has paid great tributes to Bette Davis and Joan Crowford over the years.

Thank you SO MUCH.

Thank you so much Amari! And welcome! 2000-2001 was my favorite era. I would love to see more episodes. It was when I started watching and in retrospect I feel like they had perfected their style by then. Then Bill Bell passed away, and everything slowly went to shambles....

Thank you guys for the episodes you've posted! Watching those carefully written business scenes, I have to wonder: did Bill Bell have a special consultant for his business storylines? The dialogue sounded so realistic, as if someone from the business world was part of the writing team. You don't see that much accuracy in writing anymore. Does anyone have any insight on that?

I've just become addicted again to this show. It's so perfectly crafted and scripted. I just can't bring myself to hate those Kardashians (well, maybe Kris gets on my nerves a lot) but still. The show has taken the place soap operas used to have in my life. Guilty pleasure, as Cat put it. It bothers me Rob is not around, and they act like he doesn't even exist. I loved Rob. And he was so easy on the eyes. What about Kris and her new beau? Talk about zero chemistry. Who's the new guy hanging out with Kim a lot? Is he from E! ? He's like the least attractive person on the show. (sorry, I'm shallow, but this is the KUWTK thread after all)

Does anybody know if the actors are planning a reunion with fans anytime soon in NYC?

To be honest everything about that small scene sucked. The dialogue, the actor, the directing, the lighting. You can't blame it all on TEB.

Whoah that last episode is EPIC... They really worked hard on that fashion show. It's a shame it aired only once on tv.

Abysmal.

Thanks YRfan! I'd better hurry and catch up with/save all the videos I've left behind anyway

Oh well, if you say so then she definitely was an overlooked talent. Or maybe she was just Jack Smith's obsession.

That doesn't make LW an overlooked talent.

Lauren Woodland? Mmh okay...

I had to roll my eyes at Justin Torkildsen, Drew Tyler Bell and Sir Ian Buchanan aka the man whose whole tenure represents B&B's most tedious era.

Wow I had never seen Brooke that covered up. Watching those vids confirms that '95 must have been one of the most boring, dark and uninspired eras of the show.

LOL You crack me up and ITA.

That's pure 80s greatness!

I really can't thank you enough for all your amazing and constant work, YRfan! Thanks to you I'm in soap heaven! It's so exciting and a bit sad to watch the glory days...

Awesome! Thank you Yrfan!!!

I agree with Dan. I never got people's fascination with the Labines. To me they destroyed the show. It was probably the darkest era along with Conboy & Weston. And I know P&G is partly to blame but I am positive the Labines had the lion's share. I mean just read the interview where Claire states how sparkling Holly's chemistry was with Billy and Buzz. WTF? Are you serious? Talk about delusional.
