In further bad S15 YouTube news, they're going to also skip 3681, 3682, 3684, 3685, 3686.

At this point it's not looking deliberate but to be a major balls-up.

At this rate, they're going to get through S15 in a month instead of 3 months.

I was just reading old Finnish soap opera magazines, need to scan them for vault. Anyway it was planned that Portofino trip would happen in late 2001 and as we are reaching the time in Youtube I was just wondering what storylines would have been for 2001 remore shoot? That did not happen since WTC.

Are they going to skip Mustang Sally??

Yes, I read about that in an old article at SoapCentral too! My guess is that they had planned for Macy's return in Portofino and that was postponed for a year (I also remember reading something to that effect in an interview somewhere but I can't find it anymore). There have been LOTS of Macy references in the 2001 episodes, including where Sally said that she didn't have a body to bury because Macy had been burned "beyond recognition", which usually means a character is about to make a comeback.

Ridge's paternity coming out is another one of those storylines that felt "delayed". We will learn about it in late 2001, and then for over a year, this storyline is treading water because Stephanie, Massimo and Sally are the only ones who know about it, until Bridget learns the truth in Portofino. So this is another storyline that may have been planned for the original location shoot.

Is it wrong of me to think that Stephanie deserved an Ivy Crane of Passions type of humiliation when it was revealed Ridge was Massimos son? I’ll never get for how everyone all brings up Brooke’s scandals at Forrester, that was never one that came back to bite Stephanie for years to come….even if she didn’t necessarily know Ridge wasn’t Eric’s.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
