I am at the end of 1990 in my rewatch now and to me it's almost like Taylor's character is upstaged by her beauty. Taylor's been on for six months and I still haven't really got a good grasp of her personality. Sometimes she comes across a bit like a walking sculpture. It's like she hasn't really been given a point of view yet, we get very few clues about her thoughts and feelings. She is always calm, cool and kind of an observer of the action rather than a participant.

Taylor was an observer..kind of an outsider to the dramas of the Foresters, Logans, and Spencer's.  

I liked that about her...and that seems her main function up to 1994 when she first left the show.

When her dad and brother come on in 1992, you kind of understand why she's the calm and cool observer one.  She was the peacemaker in her family.  Speaking of which, it's a shame her brother Zach never came back to the show in all these years.

Thanks! I deleted the other copies of #3103. Yours are great.

Is it possible you could add this one as well? It should be 2009-07-31 # 5,619

I was also wondering about 1996-10-08 #2393.  It is in the vault already but in low quallity (screen record). It's the fashion show where Ridge proposes to Taylor. It was one of the 10play episodes last summer, but I can't for the life of me find it on their site now. It could be because I'm not in Australia and region blocked. Just wondering if you could double check if you can find it, and then upload it in better quality if possible

Oh absolutely! I see them very differently now as a 40+ year old woman re-watching with years of life experience behind me than the 12 year old girl I was when I first started when the show came on the air and had no life experience in ANY area, hahaha! As a mom, I can definitely sympathize with Stephanie and her love for her children, her desperation to make her marriage work. I loathe Eric and his disregard for his wife just so he can swoon over Beth any chance he gets. I am irritated by Ridge for thinking that a mere 3 months for Brooke to get untangled from her mess of a marriage to his father is "too long to wait", and for thinking he can play god with other people's lives. You can't force someone to love another! Caroline made her own choices and rewatching the episode where Ridge begged her to not marry Thorne and she STILL said she wanted to, has made me realize that all her belly aching in the episodes to come were her just regretting her decision - not that her decision was ever taken from her. I used to think the timeline of when she could've received that fateful letter would've made a difference but in watching the show, she would've had an extra day to consider. Not once did she say "I have to marry Thorne because people are counting on me". She said she loved Thorne and wanted to marry him - period. I could go on & on

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
