I've been dipping my toes into 1987 back again... just scrolling through episodes and watching more important scenes... I am crying, laughing and getting goosebumps... like... every single episode. It's SOOOO good. It's so strange how with time you actually forget how good the show was, you get accustomed to the lower standard...

Sheila - So Stephanie who's crazy now, who's crazy now, as she laughs and sips champagne while they pan to Stephanie in the mental institution rocking back and forth in that chair.

 

Man when this show is good it's GOOD.

 

Sheila and Grant had some good chemistry

Hopefully the Angel is able to upload some more of Season 10 to keep us going.

  There's 40ish episodes left to complete Season 10 in the vault. Real shame the youtube channel jumped from the end of season 8 to season 13. There's a lot of people there left hanging wanting to see season 9 and the bridging seasons.

Yes. Luckily it's already in the Vault (and complete from what I could see).

Yes, I'm hoping for more S10 uploads from Videoland! I do have Videoland but don't have a very good way of saving the episodes in good quality (I used to do screen recordings but the quality was uneven).

It's odd that the yt channel decided to skip to S13, but the good part is that they uploaded in better quality and three episodes a day, so it completes the collection sooner. Pretty soon with some luck we'll have almost complete from 1987 to early 00s, which in my opinion is the classic era.

There was a rumor they'd start again from Season 1 in HD, but that remains to be seen. In the meantime, it would be great for them to continue covering through to Season 18 (where they sort of started putting older episodes up), and hopefully fill in all the missing episodes along the way, so they're all available in English. The biggest dream would be for them to upload all of the seasons in HD, replacing existing inferior quality episodes. It does seem they want the channel to succeed with them having the actors preview each month now, so hopefully that is their plan.

I had Videoland for years, until their PayPal payment stopped in January this year. I don’t have a Dutch credit card to continue the payments. All other European credit cards fail, they only permit cards issued in the Netherlands.

Unfortunately i found out that paypal is not an option too. I wonder if the so called virtual credit cards are. Some sites does not recognize european virtual credit cardts as european and allow transactions. Not that i have one to check.

Videoland is only about 300 episodes before the HD Youtube 1999 episodes... In just half a year they will catch up with them and by that time Youtube will be in late 2003. Just in half a year... Most of the 1987-2003 period will be complete. I think what Bold did is groundbreaking.... to sell their entire catalogue from day 1 to new platforms and television stations - multiple ones. The Youtube channel, as much as we criticized it, is also revolutionary. Bold is now the first 9000+ episode American soap opera that has basically uploaded and made their entire run available. That's nearly 40 seasons and thousands of hours of video material. Now I hope Y&R sees this great example and finds a way to stream their show from DAY 1.

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
