Members LuckyBold Posted January 26, 2021 Members Share Posted January 26, 2021 I've done some research and based on the old newspapers and recaps I found out the correct number episodes for the episodes form january 1994 batch with some of the dates. And so #1704 (James and Damon reunion, 3 Jan) #1711 (12 Jan) #1715 and #1716 are missing (Taylor/Brooke confrontation in the first one and Ridge arriving in the cabin in the second one). The sopas were pre-empted on 17 Jan due to the earthquake news coverage. #1717 (21 Jan) #1723 (31 Jan) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheilaforever Posted January 26, 2021 Members Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Interesting. I think the show was MUST_SEE in 1995 but come fall something did change. I've been rewatching December 1995 till February 1996 now (thanks to the German uploads...) and it is Ridge/Brooke/Taylor plus the rest of them Forresters and Spectras PLUS the twens around Dylan, Michael, Jasmine, Sly, Jessica which give me a VERY BH90210, MP, Models Inc Vibe and feel slightly disjointed with the rest of the show. The show is leaps and bounds ahead from anything 2020/2021 out of the sheer diversity of sets and characters, the structure and longterm story plans, but I don't love it (meaning: 1996). The "ominous letter" twist in January/February was amazing even in the rewatch and the whole Sheila/Mike stuff - though kinda forced - was great fun. Now looking forward to: Brooke on Barbados was a hit, the mercury poisoning of Stephanie, Mike keeping Maggie hostage at the Santa Monica peer, I remember loving to have Clarke back but the story sucked. I loved Grant but this early stories were SH*T and I'm dreading the country music set, Dylan stripping was eye-candy and LOL, Lauren had so much sex appeal. So there is lots to like, but until November/December 1996 it wasn't necessary my favorite time of B&B either. Someone mentioned young Rick: I thought Steven Hartman was pretty good, but the story was kinda blah with C.J. being the bully and him wanting to have his parents reunited (a story told in Bell soaps ca. 1000 times). I'm amazed how spell-binding Landy Albright was as Bridget, though. They did recast basically a second before Bridget's paternity got into question again and she is so cute - and good.

Members BoldRestless Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 After going over everything again in painstaking detail, I agree with these. I made a mistake and am re-labelling the one I put as January 19th as the 18th, for those of you who keep track. The 19th and 20th are the missing episodes #1715 and 1716. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marquise Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I must admit i like the Barbados story. I think Jessica's rape stroy and Sly burning down with Bikini Bar was a good story. I was also happy that Clark returned and that he saved CJ from the Mob guys. My favourite was Dylan stripping Please register in order to view this content Edited January 27, 2021 by Marquise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vizion Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 Was Barbados when Lauren was trying to seduce Ridge and Brooke was running around with that doll? Cause that story was atrocious lol. I think it legit was voted worst story of the year in SOD that year lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marquise Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 yes @vizion this is the story. I found it a bit hillarious and kind of sad watching Brooke going crazy becouse Stephanie said she would take her children away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 That story is why I don't mind the current mannequin story. You could say it's true to history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 I have pretty fond memories of this story because KKL sold the hell out of it and the Barbados location was soooo nice. Though I fear that it lasted way too long and quite a lot lied on Ronn Moss' shoulders and he coudln't carry it. Lauren was pursuing Ridge way before Barbados (her frist "attack" on Ridge was in Nov/Dec 1995), but it intensified again, I think. I'm now reaching late February 1996 and Brooke's world is crashing down because even always forgivable Eric has read her the riot act after the paternity reveal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skebujebu Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Speaking of Lauren and Ridge I bumped into interesting rumor on Finnish celebrity magazine from 1999. It says Tracey E. Bregman got fired from B&B since she fell into the pool with Ronn Moss Please register in order to view this content Edited January 27, 2021 by skebujebu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marquise Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 Funny, but still Lauren was in B&B till 1999 i think or late 1998. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 Ah what!? This sounds like tabloid stuff without any substance. Tracey Bregman's contract was not renewed on B&B in Spring 1999 (with Kimberlin Brown gone and she show going heavy into the Amber Moore orbit...). She got a couple of recurring appearances on B&B, but then was unemployed until Y&R called her back as a guest star in May (?) 2000 which eventually developed into a heavily recurring part. The rest they say is history... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marquise Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 I do not remember why Lauren and Eric's relationship fell apart. When Eric decided to be with Stephanie after her stroke or before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 27, 2021 Members Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think (not sure though) that Lauren&Eric faded away way before and without much explanation. They shared a different attitude towards Rick&Amber but no real break-up happened on-screen. Or did it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
