It is very strange. Every time I ask for the link to the vault, a kind member gives it to me, but it ONLY WORKS for me ONE TIME. When I try to enter the vault again later, I get a notice saying no such page exists, or that I am denied access without a password. I'm so confused!!!

Hmmm, I have never thought about opening an incognito page, but actually, it makes sense. I'd still like to figure out why links to the vault work only one time for me. An unsolved mystery, I guess! Anyway, I will try my best to decipher whether or not the vids I have match or do NOT match the ones saved in the vault. I've shared a lot of my stuff with other traders over the years, and other wonderful people have shared with me/all of us too, so the soap community is a godsend!!!

 

Thanks!

Love that the German eps have the music performances in English!  3/27/87 has Danny and Lauren reuniting to sing "Higher Love". Yikes, if Steve Winwood saw this, he must have been grimacing. Somehow not matter how ear-splitting and out-of-harmony these performances are, I still love seeing them out of nostalgia, if nothing else.

 

TEB looks straight-up uncomfortable, and she has said in interviews that singing was never her comfort zone.

 

And poor LLB like always, is relegated to standing offstage, grinning and making googly-eyes.

I had a look at the wonderful 1987 episodes we got in the vault. 

 

For the 1st four months, 4 actors were taken off contrat: William Wintersole (Feb/March 1987), Colby Chester (May 1987), Beth Maitland (June 4th 1987), Brenda Dickson (June 24th 1987). @will81 have you listed last airdates for Wintersole and Chester ?

3 actors were added in the contract cast: Rod Arrants (Jan 1987), Todd Curtis (he was not listed with contract at first, was he recurring ? April 1987 I think) and Jess Walton (June 25th 1987).

Seems like the show got rid of Colby Chester because they were gearing up for a big summer "quad" with Tim, Traci, Brad and Jill.  Tim kisses Traci in April and Jill kisses Brad on June 16, in one of Brenda D's last eps.

 

But by the end of June, Beth M has quit (leading the show, I assume, to let Scott Palmer go) and Brenda Dickson is fired. I'm guessing the writers then had to kill that whole story. I don't remember a romantic story with Jill and Brad once Jess W took over.

The German uploader is Bundy1965 from YouTube (they had once posted a lot of B&B German eps that were deleted). She reads this thread and is seeing all your comments.

 She's so fast, up to July now! I intend to add more on YouTube but can't keep up haha. She said she's using the list of preemptions from @YRfan23for the dates, so that should make them pretty accurate! Also she said do not go by the German credits, they just re-use the same credits in many episodes, for both Y&R and B&B.  Thanks again Bundy.

No words can describe how grateful we are to Bundy1965!

so it looks like we got a partial English episode of July 2, 1987 instead of the German one. I think that should have been Quinn Redekers/ Rex’s first episode but he’s not in the partial clip. He does appear on 7/6/87 so 7/2/87 sounds correct.

I do have an article stating his first airdate was to be July 6 and it is mentioned in Nancy Reichardt's synopsis for week of July 6. So I think July 6 was his first airdate. Wait okay I also have one stating July 2, lol so confusing

Not yet, but will, I am polishing up summer 86 and currently working on April 87. William Wintersole was still in the cast credits for Mar but his last appearance was Feb 5, 1987 (on contract) I think Colby's last airdate is when he and Jill are arguing about the previous night at Gina's when Jill is hung over. That was May 5, 1987

Thankyou Bundy1965. It is so great to have these episodes. Very much appreciated. Thanks for the tip about the credits. I guess the only thing that affects is the writer/director credits as I look through the episodes to make sure for accuracy. Some non-contract players only get listed once and not always in the episode they are in, so I usually still need to go through the ep to make sure.

It feels like that is why they moved Brad to Lauren. I think they knew Beth was leaving and maybe it was to be Jill/Brad/Lauren, but Brenda's departure squashed that. You can see Jill giving Lauren the side eye at the men's line launch, haha. Yeah Jess and Don had no real romantic story as far as I remember and the chemistry wasn't quite there. I think also Jess doesn't play Jill's sexual side as much, except where needed. Brenda was always slinking around like a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Jess has a bit more of a harder energy or more masculine at times. 

 

Beth's last airdate was June 4, so she left late May and I assume she gave the show decent notice. (the show taped 2 weeks ahead when it went to an hour, except toward the end of the year when they would work an extra day each week to build up 2 extra weeks for the holidays as per Jess Walton who responded to a fan question in 1993. Though I guess with all the pre-emptions in 87 they didn't need to bother) Also Bell stated he wrote anywhere from 5 - 7 weeks ahead per an interview in 1985.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
