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.

Milestone episode - Breacon's first sexual encounter. 

And then they skip the next four, and many more after that for a butchered storyline.

And that WAS the storyline that could grab viewers! Just this episode has 11 thousand views since it aired yesterday. Ugh... they will make people stop watching if they keep doing this. 

I have noticed that neither yestarday, nor today did the official YT chanel uploaded episodes to air after 03.09, lets pray they are taking time and sorting episodes to fill tha empty gaps.

I'm not even kidding - this was art.

I noticed that too. I hope they're working on it, unless they've decided to stop "airing" them while they sort the issues out, which might not be a bad idea if it means they will put them all out instead of 50% of them. There are some further big gaps coming up in the next week.

They just skipped 4 episodes again... they have left out the aftermath of the Breacon sex and now left out the building up to Brooke getting pregnant.

At this point... The 1st act of the storyline is completely butchered. And this WAS the storyline to captivate the new generations and bring in youtube hype, since it's so shocking and over the top.

The really are doing a disservice to their own plan. Sad. 

 

Old vs new

Here's an interesting audio/visual comparison between the older vs newer upload of episode 3666. Old one has mono audio, the newer one is in stereo. So it leads me think that it's some sort of error with the digitising process.

The newer YouTube posting is the uncut version. The earlier post is the edited version that aired on CBS during the 2020 pandemic. CBS do not allow runtime longer than 19 minutes these days so BBL cut it down accordingly for those pandemic replays. 

This is a disgrace guys...

The last uploads on youtube are - 3677 - skipped 2 - 3680 - skipped 2 - 3683 - skipped 3 - 3687 - 3688 - 3689 - skipped 1 - 3691 - skipped 1 - 3693

So from 3677 to 3693 we have 9 skipped episodes. And 8 uploaded.

This is no way to watch a soap opera. 

The Breacon storyline missed important beats that all of these people who are new to the show will never see. They... just like that... alienated a huge portion of their active youtube audience. And the comments are hundreds at this point asking why the episodes are missing. 

I even wrote a second email, but nobody responds. Nothing. They don't care. 

Before someone tells me we should be grateful we are getting anything for free - we ARE. This is not the point. 

I don't know what else to say.

The channel is replying to comments made on the Sean Kanan video advertising what's coming in September. It would be worth putting comments there with details of what's missing and what's been faulty so they are aware, as it appears from one of the channel's replies to a comment about missing episodes that they are not even aware they skipped any episodes! Filter comments through Newest so you see all the replies to the channel. We need to make ourselves heard. Grateful too, but if it can be fixed? The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Let's go!

I already emailed them. I am not responding to youtube comments, since I get BULLIED hardcore by people telling me to sh-t up and that I should be grateful every time I utter a critique... and I end up deleting every comment I make, because I don't want the negativity. IT'S SO TOXIC. I don't want the Brooke-hater-mob to find me again and report my channel again. 

But if you could - please tell them there.

The bullying on there is atrocious. I'm sorry you've been through that.

These people, (and someone from this forum, who I am pretty much sure I know who it is), reported my youtube channel full of Brooke music videos and got it deleted. I lost most of the videos, since I'm stupid enough to not backup. Now I will not repeat that mistake. 

But I used to write comments and just because I had Brooke as a profile picture I would get disgusting hate. So this time I am not writing there. There is a Brooke hate mob in the hundreds at this point.

Imagine attacking real people because of the characters they like. Some people are sick. The intelligence level of some of them is also questionable. Don't let a stranger/s ruin your life, it's not worth it.
