Sally Spectra's first appearance is in late 1988. I don't remember the exact month but years ago someone posted Darlene Conley's first B&B episode on YT.

It's a long way to got, but we ca only hope. The picture quality is just soooo pristine - compared to old VHs tapes. What a treat

the Bill Bell era on B&B was great! all episodes were great written! There were hints to what to expect. Stories were very well developed! Like Angela's story, Ridge shooting.... Characters were very strong and konstant. Not the parody they are now

That's because Bradley Bell did not inherit his father's talent.

so sad now to watch the scenes between Taylor and Brooke. Both characters were changed too much. Not to mention lines not corresponding to the truth - when Ridge like a few months ago said to Steffy they never had dogs because Stephanie did not love dogs ?!?!? WT.... the story when Ridge was shot - the dogs were barking. They had two big dogs - St. Bernards. it is almost like writers now had some kind of amnesia. And every time they bring up Ridge's paternity is sounds like Stephanie new from the start and hid it from others.

What's odd is that Donna's character went to college to become a journalist and did the modeling in order to pay for college... and even finished school.. and her last episodes in early 1991 were involved getting an offer to work at Spencer Publishing.. but opting not to take the job.   So it's jarring that Donna is basically a receptionist at times, when the character in the early years had more of an organic connection to the fashion/publishing/modeling angle of the show than Brooke/Katie.

As we were talking about pinning down the airdatres a while back: Judging by the "Forever Knight" promo ("Tonight"), the episode labeled as Jan 18 aired on a Tuesday...

so it should be January 19 instead because according to wikipedia that show always aired on Tuesday. The December 1992 episodes also strike me as one or two days off the listed dates.

[YRfan23]

That’s correct, December 1992 is off by one day.

In terms of the recent postings on YT that are listed by season, does anyone have any idea about the date(s) of season 2?  The most recent listings are S2 E275 & S1 E22

 

The IMDB listings don't break the episodes into seasons so I am unsure if the date correspond. 

[YRfan23]

If my counting is right, they should be up to April 29, 1988.

The numbering these users use is the basic one, meaning S2 E275 is merely stating that it is a season 2

episode but the 275th episode overall.

 

BTW: I did some Google searching and translating. Apparently, Dutch broadcaster RTL8 brought on B&B rerurns for the show's 30th anniversary. Initially 10 episodes, then made it 30 - and when viewer feedback (it aired 6.30 pm in pre-primetime following current B&B!) was huge, they extended it for roughly 150 episodes. After that they axed it and viewers were unhappy. Now it seems that the reruns were continued - I'n not sure if on cable TV or on RTL's media streaming service RTL lounge. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out yet whether episode 275 was a "fresh" episode from last week or whether the reruns are much further ahead in the Netherlands. Therefore it is still unclear for how long we will be blessed with these consecutive episodes in pristine quality. I for one will keep my fingers crossed. I bought the first 250 episodes DVD box sets but as the release was not continued  this is a treat!

Episode 278 released today..some good scenes with the Logans.  And this was during the writer strike..and the writing is loads better than what's offered nowadays.
