B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

Finally finished with the episode guide for the vault! It took a lot longer than I thought it would and a TON of research, but I'm 95% sure I found all the correct air dates/episode #s. The only dates I'm not positive about are the 1987 Iran-Contra & 1995 OJ Simpson preemptions, and there were a few other dates between January - April, 1991 I had to do some educated guess work for. Thanks to @BoldRestless for links to the Bell script archive, ATWT & Y&R episode lists to compare against. Those were so much help!

For the "season info" column, I know everything from Season 18 on is correct from dates on the official B&B Youtube channel and Paramount+. For early seasons, another fan told me the season start date used to be the show's anniversary week in March vs the start date they use now at the end of September. As far as I could gather from the classic episodes on Paramount+, the earliest season we know of that started in September was season 11, and the last season with any confirmed dates available that started in March was season 9. So I wasn't sure which season (9 or 10) was supposed to be extended to September, but I went with season 10 for the sake of not leaving anything blank. Take this column with a grain of salt for now for anything before season 18.

The spreadsheet is divided by tabs at the bottom for each year. Tabs highlighted pink indicate a complete year in the vault with no missing episodes. Boxes can be clicked next to each episode to add check marks, and boxes for all episodes not checked will automatically be red so we can easily see at a glance what's still missing from the vault. There's also a drop down box for each episode to choose the quality of the video so if anyone has the same episode with better quality they'll know they can still share it. I got it up to date for all the English episodes in the vault as of today.

The finished product is attached to this post for anyone who wants a copy (or if someone wants to post it to the vault for everyone to share). It's an Excel file, so you need Microsoft Office to open on your computer, but it should be fine for the vault. I hope you guys find it useful!

Ugh, sorry about that. I’ll try to share it a different way when I get home this afternoon. I would post it directly to the vault, but for some reason I can only download files and not upload to the drive. If nothing else works, I’m happy to email you a copy.

Thanks! Looks awesome.

 

I looked into the OJ dates a bit since you mentioned that... what I have tracks pretty well with yours, except there was a show on July 11, 1994

 So far everything looks great! I'll definitely look into seeing if anything needs to be edited, but it looks great! 

EDIT: Skimming through 1995. I have B&B as having aired Episodes on Tues-Thurs Jan 24-26, but preempted Mon Jan 23 and Fri Jan 27. and also Preempted on Jan 30. I also believe September 19, 1995 was preempted. Could be 9/20/95 though? 

I also have those Same Iran/Contra 1987 dates for Y&R so those are most likely correct!

Thanks! I saw the 1995 preemptions listed that way on the Y&R list posted earlier, but the ATWT list only had Jan 24th preempted for "OJ Simpson opening statement [listed in Adirondack Daily Enterprise]." I wasn't sure which one to go with. The B&B imdb page lined up with the ATWT list there but also had the 26th preempted.

Hmm, not sure. 

There's some discussion here. B&B was preempted Jan 24, 1995.

Looks like it did air Jan 25, but not at its usual time: https://groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.tv.soaps.cbs/c/U6vEEfN0m4E/m/uoPKPT8gX9kJ

Hmm..I totally missed that. So I guess it's possible it did air Monday Jan 23 and not Tuesday....It definitely said Y&R was preempted on 1/23/95 though right? 

I guess B&B could have aired Wed-Fri (1/25-1/27/95)

Oh well, it's not like it hasn't already been released on DVD for a decade. Or like the fans haven't archived the first 1200 episodes on their own.

 They should just make whole seasons public as they upload.

It's possible they want to create a bit of a chat and anticipation where fans discuss each episode as they're released. I can already hear the screams of "NO SPOILERS"!!! They also may not want people to stop watching the current daily show when the classics are so good and they spend their time watching those instead!!!

You can start right here in the Vault!! They're unlikely to be of better quality on YouTube initially...especially the first 250...

    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
