I second that. Welcome to the board!

 

I'm continuing with my journey through 1996 thanks to Bundy1965's courtesy. I have now reached mid-July.

 

#2338 is one of those episodes where I can only chime in that they fail to create such kind of brilliance today and have failed for a while. Due to some insta-plot twists - Maggie kissing Eric, Sheila falling for James - the storyline of Stephanie's poisoning reached a stunning turn: Sheila framed Maggie who - as a true dim-wit - tried to prove her innocence by breaking and entering into Sheila's house. Cue: verbal spat and Maggie pushing Sheila... right into a fire poker (Sheila should have asked: Karma is that you!?). Fast-forward a couple of episodes later, you have James urging Maggie to stay away from Sheila. Of course, Maggie makes a beeline to Sheila's hospital room. Another argument ensues and Sheila cleverly pushes Maggie's button who freaks. In a super-cheesy scene, Maggie trips over some flexible tubes and they get pulled. Cue: James walks into the room as Sheila desperately struggles for air. Amazing!

Sheila had some fun stuff. Don't forget the torn up bridal gown after that delicious catfight with Lauren!

 

The 2018 return wasn't that bad. Brad Bell did a lot of stuff right. Instead of the previous desaster returns, Sheila seemed slightly more grunded, yet still interesting. Too bad Kim Brown was more interested in politics than playing second fiddle on B&B after the inital return which gave us Quinn/Eric/Sheila/Maaaaaaaaatteoooooo - the godsend masseur. LOL The waitressing job at Il Giardino was a nice twist to have her snoop in to various storyline. Like the Spectra revival, this return just fell flat because it was too short-lived.

I just took a look at my collection of French episodes. To be specific, I have everything since June 2010 until December 2019 (episodes #5821- #8230) MINUS :

- May-June-July-August 2012 (episodes #6301-#6403)

- November-December 2013 and January-February 2014 (episodes #6699-#6775)

- Also a few ones missing between October 2014 and January 2015 (episodes #6917-#6999)... I kept 50% of them.

Outside of these 8 months   I have 99% of the episodes. I got #5821-#6300 from a French Youtuber who uploaded his episodes during quarantine last year, but her account was shut down after #6300. I got #6404-#8230 from a friend who recorded them and uploaded them on a private Facebook group but that person deletted November13-February14 for some reason.

So sorry I don't have January 2014.

If anyone is interested in German episodes, I have November 2009-January 2011 (episodes #5688-#5992) in high quality.

Sheila’s 2017 return started off pretty well but it became clear after a few months Bell didn’t really know what to do with her. By the time she became a busybody waitress it was clear there wasn’t much foresight or direction (unlike her previous returns, which varied in quality but all had a full narrative arc). The worst was when they had Sheila blab to Eric about seeing Katie with Wyatt—like, what? Then she just kind of disappeared. If Bell knew Kimberlin Brown was running for office he should have sent her out with a bang (literally).

    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
    • It does seem cheap and lazy for this show to have just one family. Passions was heavily criticized but it was nicely structured with a total of four families.      
    • I think it was definitely a surprising reveal in the storyline. I had a hard time appreciating Evan because I couldn't get behind his interest in Amanda. But that's because I never thought Sandra Ferguson made her a compelling character (although to give her credit she occasionally had decent emotional scenes with Mac or Rachel).
    • I'll even go further... I'll make her re-think BeLief and create a new patent. Brooke needs stuff to do. Anything other than beg or be in her panties. We need her to be creative. But sadly Bradley has a very low opinion of these characters. To him Brooke is nothing more than sex and scandal... or a pathetic doormat. Ridge is nothing more than a chauvinist pig that needs to pit women against each other to feel like A MAN and Steffy is nothing more than her father's guard-dog. I don't even want to open my mouth about Hope. She is such a fiasco in my opinion... I will not suffer if they kill her off. Bradley pooped on her character and now it's too late to fix it. Annika is great and I would hate to see her go, but slutty Hope was not her thing. The vibe was missing.     
    • I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.
    • Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
