I just stumbled upon the fact that Jeff Trachta (Thorne #2) was bumped to recurring in 1994 and was also still recurring in 1995. However, he was still on the opening credits.
Some old article about him also mentions the fact: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-07-02-tv-19360-story.html

The credits in May 1995 went as follows:

Scott Thompson Baker – Connor Davis
Kabir Bedi – Price Omar Rashid
Kimberlin Brown – Sheila Carter Forrester
Ian Buchanan – Dr. James Warwick
Darlene Conley – Sally Spectra
Bobbie Eakes – Macy Alexander
Susan Flannery – Stephanie Forrester
Michael Fox – Saul
Schae Harrison – Darla
Katherine Kelly Lang – Brooke Logan Forrester
John McCook – Eric Forrester
Ronn Moss – Ridge Forrester
Dylan Neal – Dylan Shaw
Chris Robinson – Jack Hamilton
Michael Sabatino – Anthony Armando
Hunter Tylo – Dr. Taylor Hayes Forrester
Maitland Ward – Jessica Forrester
...
Jeff Trachta – Thorne Forrester
Ken Hanes – Mike Guthrie
Brian George – Ahmed
Various Models
Kimiko Cazanov – Trish
Jeff Allin – Lt. Burke

Thank you very much for the files!

However the old files were much better quality than the newer ones. Now it really sucks and causes many issues like lost frames, lags and resolution issues and it happens with all of my video players. The whole material became very laggy, so my eyes are really in pain. Something is wrong with codecs or with the rendering options. I believe we can help you with that.

I don't have much experience with rendering, but the perfect size for 1 episode is like 250-350MB if possible and the size of 200MB is absolute minimum to make it at least acceptable to watch. Less than 100MB videos look even worse than the official Youtube uploads. Obviously 1GB is too big to collect all of these episodes, but in the other hand the quality is also important. If someone hasn't enough disk space then should change the video quality to lower by himself or there should be another folder with very low quality episodes.

Yes, unfortunately I also noticed Lower quality in comparison with earlier uploads (1418-1425 it was 720p HD, from 1430 it is like 500p or so) but given the policy of not complaining I am not and it is what it is, we could be left with no episodes at all so I still prefer Lower quality instead of nothing. We used to be spoiled by the precious previous contributor and we got used to high quality too easily...

Dude. You were the one complaining that the videos were not coming fast enough. You could have waited until @rsclassicfanforever uploaded them in the quality you like. They are very reliable but they are entitled to have things going on in their life. @anon4520graciously uploaded the episodes. Then you complained the file size is too big and it takes too long to convert. Then @anon4520came back and converted them all and reuploaded them in a smaller size. Now you complain that the quality is not good enough! Just stop, please. Just because you write "I am not complaining, but...." doesn't mean you aren't complaining.

 

This is very unfair to the uploaders. People use their own money to buy VPNs, videoland subscriptions and their time to record, encode, and upload videos. I could not blame @anon4520if they never wanted to volunteer again after this.

 I have always been patient because I know we have such an awesome community here and someone ALWAYS comes through with the episodes, we have not missed one yet. Who cares if we have to wait, they are 30 years old, lol. 

 

If you want to get perfect quality videos uploaded quickly then maybe you should consider getting an account and recording your own and uploading them?

The thing is I did not came with complaining about the quality of the videos, read more carefully and maybe you will notice who wrote about it first. I don't care about waiting either, I can wait half a year or a year I don't mind really since yes, they are 30 Years old. My Mouth are shut from now on and I will not say a thing, that's a guarantee. Make your own discussion and complaining.

    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
