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.

A German episode was uploaded with missing scenes from the official YouTube's Episode 390 (see description)... anyone know what this is about? Why would there be deleted scenes from the official episode? Music? Is the Videoland version full?

I uploaded this episode. I wondered why there were missing scenes. When you scroll at the timeline you see all scenes, but when you watch the video, the end is black for 6 minutes.

 

i hope they upload it full again.

Thanks! I did not even realize that because the original is the correct length. Why do they do that? It's so unprofessional. The videoland versions seems to be intact, so it's not like they don't have this episode.

Thank you so much! Do you by chance have the missing 2000 and 2001 episodes in German. Ive been thinking about that since we are watching in such fast pace. I would be so grateful if you could add them when you have time. You have been one of the super heros of this community. 

wow i had no idea that there were missing scnes from episode 390, thank you for that remark!

Videoland episode is fully uncut. The YT upload of ep# 390 encountered an error, like a handful of others (you can “see” the full episode is there when you toggle the player). The official YT channel promised to fix the error at the time, I guess they haven’t. In fact, let’s be honest, the entire YT channel is a joke. They upload seasons that have already been uploaded in full. Interns!?

@divinemotion Then again, Bill Bell basically replaced Caroline with Taylor.

Anyone remember who this actor is and who he played? My mind is drawing a complete blank!

Question: are we certain of the preemption days for B&B in 1994 during OJ?

#1830 is a fourth of July episode with a pool party for Jessica - but according to the circulating data in the Vault (excel file of B&B air dates provided by a lovely board member!) it aired on July 13, 1994 o CBS due to various pre-emption in late June / early July. Some on here used to be savvy enough and constantly checked the old google tv goups or sth. like that from 1990s. Could he/she probably confirm when this episode aired?

That's Mykel Shannon Jenkins who won the SOAPNET show Who wants to be soap star!? (or sth. like that) and was signed up by busy talent manager Michael Bruno. Jenkins was brought onto B&B as the son of Lt. Baker, Det. Charlie Baker. Everyone suspected Brad Bell was serious about adding a black family in 2007 but he was not. Despite being initially on contract, Charlie Baker was never more than a police man and quickly disappaered. He was occassionally used as the detective until 2012 but eventually forgotten.

According to usenet, 4th of July aired on July 12.

Oh wow, what a missed opportunity, then! TYSM for sharing with me!

Thanks !

About the 1994 episodes: do we know why the show decided to have Ridge go out on a date with Bikini Bar waitress Rhonda around #1831!??? It is super random and weird. First of all, they had not met until she suddenly popped up at Forrester Creations and immediately sked him out on a date. Rhonda was also not seen much for 1 1/2 years as her only purpose was to be around Sly, Zach and Felicia during the Ganz story in fall 1992. Plus, there are plenty of model character floating at the company to serve as a possible date for Ridge!?

I just finished watching 1993 for the very first time, and while this was probably the best year of the show I've seen so far, there were also some very strange storyline decisions.

First of all, why are Thorne and Macy still married? At this point, they've been enstranged for over a year, having been with Karen / Sly in the meantime, and their constant yelling of "I need a break from our marriage!" in each other's face doesn't make sense since they've been on a break for ages.

Speaking of Sly – what a wasted character. I liked him when they briefly tested him with Felicia in 1992, but after that, he was merely a plot point for Macy's alcoholism. IMO, it wasn't really clear what his true intentions with Macy were. Somehow he just stopped appearing and was bumped to recurring status in December.

I loved Darla and Bill's romance and it was so sad that it just abruptly ended with no explanation. When Bill wanted to close down Spectra, he and Darla acted as if they didn't know each other.

The worst storyline had to be Sally's fake pregnancy. All the characters involved in that story were much to old for these type of shenanigans. I don't mind Chris Robinson as Jack, but he didn't have any chemistry with either Sally or Stephanie. It was also weird that after Stephanie had exposed Sally's lies, there was no real follow-up that Jack and Stephanie got back together. They continue spending time together, but they come across as friends rather than lovers.

Of the "new" cast additions, I only like Anthony.  Connor is a sleazebag. In one episode, he sleeps with Karen, and in the next, he wants to bang Brooke in her office. In B&B Land, it's apparently okay if a guy dates/sleeps with two women at the same time, but if a woman does the same, she's deemed a slut (especially by other female characters). The women are only angry at their female rival, but never angry at their love interest.

The James/Taylor storyline is boring, and Keith and Kevin are such non-characters. Thankfully they have already been reduced to background characters (even though they are still on contract at this point).

My favorites in this era are Stephanie, Sally, Brooke, Sheila ... and Darla. I don't mind Karen but the writing for the character is seriously lacking. Of the males, only Eric is mildly tolerable.
