Um, so we have that ever lengthy thread on classic Y&R articles and discussion, I was wondering if we could do one for B&B? I mean the whole show is a hot mess and has been well at least since 2007/2008 and unwatchable but I'd like to think back to when I loved the show 1991ish-2006. A lot of stories liked and/or remember well have now been long forgotten like Ivana's murder and the mystery around it, Macy vs. Karen, Connor(someone mentioned him recently!) Dylan and Michael, CJ/Becky, Sly, Grant. Hell Macy was my favorite character right after Sally of course.

Any actors on bold over the years you all will label “chemistry magnets”

OK This may not be new but I just got this recommended to me on YT and my question is:

Do the Greek folks who hired KKL to advertise their perfume know that the name they gave to it - "Clochard" - mean "Streetbum" in French?

"Clochard" was an internationally sold perfume brand, probably first sold in the 1980s and discontinued in the 1990s  It was apparently quite expensive.
There is also a Swiss jeans brand named "Clochard" and a Belgian men's grooming brand "Clochard Deluxe".

I don't think the word has a pure negative connotation – nowadays, it has more of a romanticized and mystical meaning.

Not in French, it doesn't. It is a very condescending word for homeless people. 
So weird.

Well, I know that the motive of the "clochard" was used in a romanticized meaning in a few old French films and novels.

This is a description I found (translated from German to English):

Quote

As a derogatory term for the homeless, the term "clochard" is used less and less in French these days. Yet at the same time it still exudes the odor of the romantic tramp who lives under the Seine bridges in Paris and in the city of love, another cliché that has turned its back on bourgeois existence. There are conflicting theories about the origin of the word: Either it is derived from the verb "clocher" (to limp) or from "cloche", the bell after which the beggars were allowed to pick up what fell on the market was. Popular culture sometimes glorifies the clochard as a life artist, he appears in films as in literature. The writer Georges Simenon once said that he felt "the state of the clochard is almost an ideal state", because the clochard is a "more perfect person". Not all of the estimated 3,600 homeless people in Paris share this feeling of grandeur. Some of them are visibly annoyed at how quickly the millions of euros they need can be raised to give a church (= Notre Dame) a roof that they have been missing for a long time.

 

YEP, clochard is a negative word for the homeless. Btw I hope nothing happened to our friend uploading 1992 episodes.

I think the quality is already brilliant however the videos work only on my smartphone and laptop, on PC they don't work but I'm assuming this is due to lack of some codec. 

I'm curious why this soap resists having a long term 2nd family to balance out the played out Forrester's?  A have not family, that is.

Those were Logans at the Beginning but since such Gold diggers as Brooke and Katie got their ways up there was no need for having such a have not family anymore. I regret losing young Spectra gang, though but I'm guessing that was just a gift for the fans for the 30 th anniversary and after that they became redundant.

January 14 will mark 15 years since Darlene Conley passed away. Of the original B&B characters as written by Bill Bell, Sally Spectra was another one of my favorites. I didn't mention Sally in the B&B from the Beginning thread since her episodes are still a while away on the YT channel. There was nobody else like Sally on daytime and I would say her arrival was a turning point for B&B. Sally breathed new life into the show and Bill Bell smartly built a business and a family around her, eventually replacing the Logans with the Spectra gang by 1991. It was another missed opportunity during last year's classics that we didn't get a week of the best of Sally Spectra.
