I am not done watching 1994 and I hope we get as much of the early months of that year as possible but I am really struck by how much better the writing was from 92-94 than it was in any other period of the show. 

 

Aside from the triangle and even Belief, I enjoyed the Sally/Jack/Stephanie triangle, the Sheila story, Thorne and Macy's marriage troubles, etc. It is crazy to me that Bill Bell seemed to step away this as this show was starting to reach its potential and not soon after you felt the decline. 

 

I have obviously seen episodes from late 1994 after Hunter returned and it almost feels like a TOTALLY different show than it was before she left not just how it was written but it even LOOKED like a completely different show.

Hey guys, someone who is unable to register here sent me some info on dates they think are not correct. I'm not sure who originally uploaded them. Just wondering what are your thoughts? If some are not correct I can rename them. I just don't have time to research it now and I know some of you guys are good at this.

 

1992-06-11 = 1992-07-03
1992-09-18 = 1992-09-10
1992-12-16 + 17 = 1992-12-15
1992-12-18 = 1992-12-17
1992-12-21 = 1992-12-18
1992-12-22 = 1992-12-21
1992-12-23 = 1992-12-22

(they think 1992-12-24 is episode 1445: Stephanie gives Taylor a precious Christmasgift: a necklace that has been in her family for three generations. Stephanie then admits that, despite their rough start, she now considers Taylor her daughter.  )
1993-03-04 = 1993-03-03
1993-07-26 = 1993-07-29

 

 

They were also wondering about these dates in the vault, since these are suspected preemption dates: 

1991-01-09, in the vault is a episode with this date #953. The next one is 1991-03-15,  1992-02-17 - 1228

Nikki said she added more episodes to 1994 and asked to remind everyone she doesn't have anything after Hunter left so Taylor's death will be the end of the 94 episodes.

 

Also what is everyone's general opinion of 1995 and 1996 B&B? I am finding those years a chore to watch - all of the focus on Rick and Bridget is nauseating. Why in the world was Brad Bell or whomever so in love with Steve Hartman? That kid ate up so much airtime.

@Vizion thank you for getting in contact with Nikki! I am so happy she uploaded these file. I wishe she could upload 1991 and 1992 episodes too, but i remmeber you said she lost them.

About 1995-1996 i do not remember much. Since i am Susan Flannery fan i remember the story with Stephanies poisoning and when Taylor returned the story between Eric - Taylor - Stephanie.

I hope some day will rewatch these episodes.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
