Hello to everyone. I m Chris (Christos in greek) and i live in Athens. I 'm the guy who uploaded the episodes from RTL Lounge a few days ago. Although a B&B fan and viewer from the first episode that Greek TV broadcasted on 14-11-1988, i stopped follow it many years ago. But i still and always watch the old episodes. I recently discovered this forum and i 'm very glad. I try to watch the old episodes from RTL Lounge almost every day, since 2021 when i accidentally found it and i have started recording from episode 358. Although i have recorded hundreds of episodes, i 've missed many. Thanks to you guys and the Vault, i 've filled some gaps. I have also kept a few recordings of the first seasons from the original Greek TV broadcast that i ll be happy to share with you if you need them, but the quality is not that great (VHS quality). I, too, am waiting the continuation of 1998 episodes that you guys upload, as i missed them cause i had lost RTL Lounge for a few months. I have a few more episodes to upload from 1999, close to the ones i already uploaded a few days ago and if there are any 80's to mid 90's episodes that are missing from the Vault, i can check if i have them from RTL Lounge. Bravo and thanks again for the great job you are doing here.

390 is in the vault and on the official channel and look fine to me - unless someone can point out the issue. 561 that went up on the official channel had a long section that just had audio and a fixed frame - so that's great being replaced by Chris's version (thank you Chris). And the issue with 678 was that the official channel put a duplicate of 677 as their 678 (so they never "aired" 678) - one of the earliest of many issues, glitches, mislabeled episodes and skipped altogether episodes. Groan.

    • Definitely. It's not bad at all, but yesterday was just an anomaly considering we haven't had an episode that bad before. 
    • I caught most of the episodes during that time period.   Subsequently Bell or Alden (I forget which) revealed that Peggy's rape story was done for strategic ratings purposes.  Chris's rape had occurred earlier, before the show really caught on & was near the middle or the lower end of the ratings.  Bell had been pleased with the concept and wanted the rape story to play-out for a much larger audience.  By the 1975-1976 season, the show was near the top of the ratings and was extremely popular among high school & college kids.  He felt the time was right to re-tell the story.   When I was watching in 1976, I didn't find it especially "cruel" that lightning had struck twice in the Brooks family.  I felt it was more of a continuation of Chris's storyline, giving her a chance to continue dealing with the trauma of her own rape.  
    • Dan being de facto HW explains a lot. It's clear the show changed direction on a dime according to his interests or whims.
    • Really enjoyed today's episode the whole way through. Having Drew and Nina as red carpet hosts was a brilliant move. You could really see Cameron Mathison channeling his own experiences as a TV host for shows like Entertainment Tonight, but putting a more sinister spin on the host's glib patter. And Cynthia Watros gave some amazing reaction shots during Drew's interactions with people like Carly, Joss, and Willow.  I also really liked the Alexis/Kristina scenes. I know a lot of us find Kristina exasperating, and she is, but Kate Mansi and Nancy Lee Grahn do a great job of portraying a very real dysfunctional mother/daughter dynamic. 
    • The episode she got killed off in - which made Wendy a prime suspect in her murder (her car was spotted outside the house) and then Wendy mysteriously disappeared from town.

    • What Dan Curtis never seemed to understand -- and what Art Wallace knew from the get-go -- is that a slow, suspenseful build-up creates a far more satisfying episode than the constant "cliffhangers" that never amounted to much.  ("I'm going to kiillll you, Julia!" before every commercial break, lol.)
