I’ve been watching from the beginning and I’m currently on episode 65. The big party at the Forresters’ place just happened. Ridge drove Caroline home after the party, then he stayed in her living room area to finish watching a TV program while she went to bed (assuming he would just let himself out after his show).

But Ridge DOESN’T leave. Instead he waits until morning to crawl into bed next to her, dressed only in skimpy red underwear. She wakes up and there’s an uninvited Ridge in her bed, nearly naked. WOW. The previous night, he was literally chasing her around her apartment, begging for sex. I know it was the 80s but damn, was this kind of behavior considered “flirty” back then?

I loved Caroline's response to him - that it must not have been very good then because she didn't remember anything. Ridge is such an ass.

Hahaha yeah that was funny! I’d always heard about Caroline but I didn’t watch the show at the very beginning so I’d never really seen her before. She surprised me by being likable. I expected a slightly vapid. naive person but Caroline is remarkably nuanced. And, of course, Joanna Johnson is a stunning beauty.

as i said many times i just love the first like 10 classic years and some episodes i have seen times and times again. The show was really adictive! Now i am watching 1998 episodes and current onces. I have missed some and don't remember much of 1998 soryline but i seem to enjoy Amber. The Eric/Lauren love story is boring.... and i remember that he got back with Stepahnie, so i think the romance with Lauren was a waist of time

I started watching in 1992 when Sheila was mailing the puzzle pieces to Lauren and continued until I’d say 2009 or 2010. I missed a few years from like 96-99 though. And yes, Lauren was really wasted on B&B. She was a regular cast member for a few years and the only two storylines I can remember she was involved in were her affair with Eric (leading to the picture in the Bible at Eric and Stephanie’s wedding) and when the writers made it seem like she was a lecherous cougar out to snag Dylan (but then it turned out she was only testing him).

How do you get Lauren Fenmore on your show and then relegate her to C-storylines? I don’t even think she interacted with Sheila much when she was on the show in the late 90s.

It’s been a real joy watching from the beginning. Plus this show reminds me of watching with my mother. We’d videotape the episodes while we were at work and school, then we’d sit and drink coffee and watch them late at night (after my blowhard dad had fallen asleep so we could enjoy them in peace).

Caroline was B&B's original heroine. Joanna Johnson was so natural and real in the role and I'm glad she found success post-B&B as a writer/producer/director.

in the 90's the show was a great hit in Europe did you know that even i a magazin they made paper dolls ;) cool right?

That's so cute!

Taylor’s funeral was truly heartbreaking
such a beautiful and emotional goodbye for an iconic character 🥀

Honestly they should’ve never brought her back again
they should’ve let Taylor rest in peace and stay in the afterlife ☁️😇

Yes! I remember her funeral. Well, both of them. I took a break watching the show for a few after Ridge and Brooke’s wedding (the one where Sheila popped up during their honeymoon) because I didn’t have regular access to cable television. I couldn’t believe it a short time later when I’d heard Taylor came back AGAIN. I really thought she was dead. I’ve never seen the episodes where she returns but I’ve seen a few insane clips of Ridge digging up her grave. I hate when shows do obvious retcons. Taylor should have stayed dead but I can deal with it because I love seeing Hunter Tylo onscreen.

That’s awesome! Imagine being able to find some of these out in the wild! Great collector’s items!
