B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

I'm sure all of us are grateful to the Angels for what has been able to be provided thus far. Thank you thank you thank you!

In "good" news, albeit it will take some time, but I did some rough calculations with the official channel on YouTube putting three new classic episodes up per calendar day (21 per week) and VL putting up 2 per weekday (10 per week), that sometime in late December 2023, the official channel on YouTube will OVERTAKE VL's episodes (that is, the episode number VL will be up to in December 2023 - around #2460) - so if you have patience we will get to 1993 and have the show ON TAP, at three episodes per calendar day on the official YouTube channel!!! In good quality, and without graphics or subtitles - plus some bonus sponsors after the opening credits!

Personally, I'm up to #945 in my re-watch, and can only fit in an episode per day, so the official channel on YT will catch up to me in late October this year - meaning I can switch to watching those, and if their promise to upload all the seasons is kept, then I need never run out of "new" classic episodes to watch. And I will have to think hard about whether I want to up my viewing to 3 a day at that point!

Despite that, I'm hopeful that someone can help out those who are presently up to date in the meantime x

I don't really see the significance. Hunter Tylo's leaving in 2002 was only for a few years. Then she was back. I never saw her as the show's "main star" even when she was on the show, so I don't really see what magic those few additional years would have worked.

The thing is, Taylor was never that central to the show. She left several times and the show went on.

But then again, I am one of those who just simply never saw the appeal of the Taylor character. She always seemed kind of wooden to me.

Re-watching now (currently at late 1991), I am really trying to give her a chance, since I've changed my perception of several other characters already when seeing them the second time around, but so far, she leaves me cold, as does Tridge. I actually think out of all the men she has interacted with so far, Ridge is the one she has the least chemistry with. I just keep seeing how when they are supposed to kiss and so on, Taylor's hand keeps popping up like a stop sign between their bodies.

Speaking of Hunter, when Taylor "died" the first time, in the plane crash, had Hunter left the show, or was it just a temporary fakeout? She was gone for three whole months. Had she left, and then been put on cast again three months later, or was she just given a three month break to do something else knowing she'd be back?

Does anyone know the facts?

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
