My mom told me she always described the 1st Beth as striking and warm.  That she could never buy Eric leaving her Beth for Stephanie.

Also, she and Brooke looked like mother and daughter...and it would have made Eric and Brooke's later union more a transference of affection from Beth to Brooke

Yes I definitely felt there was no chemistry between JMc and NB. Was really surprised they recast Judith Baldwin at the time, hair colour and all. I wonder if she quit or was replaced? If replaced, I don't know why when I felt she was doing a great job. She certainly looked more like Brooke as her mother. NB looked more like a mother to Katie in resemblance.

It's an interesting point that I think the reason has been lost to time, unfortunately...Darla Dinkle sounded cutesy, and appropriate to the character, though the revelation of Einstein was hilarious and penny dropping!

As far as i remember in an interview Joanna Johnson said that the scene when Ridge thinks of what would have been if Caroline if she  was still alive and may be they have children made here very sad (1992). She run out to Susun Flannery and confess that she was upset becouse she would never have that. That was when she came out as gay to Susan. I know there were rummors about them having and affair. May be that was the time. There are also rummors that before that Susan was in an relationship whith another woman when she adoppted her doughther Blase. So if the timing was correct noone knew Joanna was gay before that, may be she left B&B becouse she wanted to be a writter.

I also do not remember when Darla was first called Einstien

Hi guys, I found this playlist with over 1100 videos. Maybe someone wants to go through this and see if there's anything we don't have https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBf2sqMgWduMSUUEhqZtzK4kCEOXZNAP5 From the looks of it we have most of these, but I just don't have the time to go through all these videos. And this user has playlists for basically every soap, btw, so I don't know how long the channel will stay up.

What a find! From what I can tell, this lengthy playlist includes English versions of the following dates that were likely only had in the Vault in German or not at all (and a couple of Spanish):

1535 6 May 1993 (Sheila and Eric Wedding Part 1)

1536 7 May 1993 (Sheila and Eric Wedding Part 2) (I don't think we had these at all so an awesome find!)

4200 24 Dec 2003

So about 20 episodes all up that could be added to the vault that I can tell. If someone has the ability and the time to obtain and upload, I'm sure it will go much appreciated. Unfortunately the uploads on my internet plan are atrocious, so no can do at my end. Hopefully this has saved people the time to sift through them all, anyway.

Thank you @BoldKara! That's really helpful to narrow it down. I grabbed the first four episodes on the list and will try to grab the 2008 and 2009 ones tonight. I thought we had those years from the official youtube, but those must be the missing ones from that channel. What do you think of those 1993 Taylor Edits, is it the same stuff Nikki N uploaded already?

Yes there are missing episodes from the official channel that we would have in German (and two in Spanish - The Price is Right ones), but now have English versions (though not in as good quality unfortunately) through "Bob". I didn't even look at the Taylor edits to be honest, as they wouldn't be complete episodes. I find it hard to place clips vs placing whole episodes. Thanks for grabbing!

I don't know if anyone here can help me with this...

I'm currently watching 1990 episodes and I really wonder if the doctor (Dr Oshiro) who gives Caroline her diagnosis in ep 773 was also the Elvis impersonator in ep 749. And if so, is it the same actor playing two different characters, or does the serious Dr Oshiro have a secret passion for karaoke?

(And, by the way, I have an INSANE amount of respect for the people doing their acts in that episode! Imagine getting hired to play "the guy/girl doing a cringeworthy audition for a talent show" on a soap that airs worldwide, and doing it with so much gusto!)

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
