Season 1 is really a mixed bag. It's NOT good by any standards. For the longtime viewer however, it is still precious, thanks to the likes of La Flannery and some iconic first encounters and set-ups because there is lots of groundwork for the show's main characters. Up until Clarke's arrival it is basically skip-able IMO. I wasn't too gripped by Caroline's rape for instance. Season 2 starts to pick up steam and is good soap. Greatness is not often found, yet the characters get more life (and useless characters like Katie are more or less dropped), the production values improve drastically (probably due to foreign licensing sales...) and suddenly there are remotes, hospital sets get nicer etc.

The upload by AmySilence on YT is up to episode 409 right now. The Dutch Streaming Site is already in the 500s, though. And Sally Spectra should pop up around #420 or so. Therefore, there is quite a good reason to binge those classic B&B episodes. The picture quality alone makes it GREAT watching and even the weaker episodes are at least on par with 2019 soaps if not better. By 1989 B&B is REALLY watchable and begins to feel bold, beautiful and campy.

 

Mmmmm I can't find AmySilence on YT (at least not many episodes). Where can we access the Dutch streaming service?

@FrenchFan the playlist is private. Here it is:

The first two weeks are really exruciatingly slow. I wouldn't judge the whole season by that.  It's not until almost episode 40 that Brooke actually meets the Forresters. I wouldn't skip it, but just keep it in mind. What's interesting to me is seeing a B&B with better acting, directing, and music, with a similar feel to Y&R but definitely not as great. However, the show is very... straight. There's really no subtext like there is on Y&R. The characters express their thoughts through talking to themselves and long speeches. It's sort of cheesy that way. Nothing going on beneath the surface, and the storylines are very simplistic (maybe that's why it was popular abroad). I personally did enjoy the rape story. I would say watch everything, because it's fun to catch little details here and there, like how long Eric and Stephanie were married, how Bill Spencer had no other children and no son (lol), and stuff like that. I would get the thought of "oh why don't I just fast forward to the Stephanie scenes" but the show is so short, it's honestly easier to just watch it, it goes by fast and you'll never get this opportunity again to see it for the first time.

Something what struck me watching 1987 was that many characters which left quite a legacy or were brought back later on like Katie, Rocco or Bill Sr. TOTALLY get the shaft back then. They had some story but it was really wallflower-material to fill gaps. Especially, Bill & Margo felt like ROYALLY wasted.

If a playlist is private , it's private for a reason, you shouldn't share the link on a PUBLIC forum

I was actually the person who helped the uploader set it up as a private playlist and I invited her to this forum. Besides it has been posted in here several times.

Okay cool then!!!  I've seen too many private ones get shut down cause of people sharing the links on public forums, so that's great

Does anyone know why its so damn hard to find episodes from 1997-1999? I heard that those years did not air in a bunch of countries for some reason (like someone told me it didn't air in the UK)?

Those years used to be quite widerspread on YT. I think it was all taken down and the uploaders did not bother again.

FINALLY...

 

Nick Preston's butler RAMONE was played by Gary Moerke according to credits from #392. The actor does not seem to have an IMDb page so far.

With information I got from recaps, closing credits and more, I tried to collect the contract changes from 1987 to 1994. I am sure there are a few mistaked here and then. Maybe some could help me correct them.

#401 should be November 1, 1988

 

I'm currently at episode #390 and stories are picking up: Margo/Clarke/Kristen is delicious to watch, Donna/Bill is touching despite the nude camp and Lt. Burke is looming over Stephanie's head. Fascinating enough is the fact that every 5th episode has a location shoot at the Bell Estate/Forrester Mansion which looks nice but as grand as later location shoots.

They were but not on contract. They were recurring during first part of the year. Not sure exactly when they were upped to contract during 1989.

Haha my bad....I just realized u were just going by contract dates and not actual first appearance  

Do you know when Teri Ann Linn first appeared as Kristen in 87?
