@BoldRestless I don't have this list, but I can make one. I have my own hard drive with all the episodes from the vault (and other clips and episodes I had in other languages - French and Italian mostly). So I think it'll be easy to see what's missing and make a list.

2006-2010 is definitely complete now (still a few holes in 2006-2008 but at least we have them in German thanks to rsclassics) These holes are under "Episode missing list 2005-2009" but I haven't updated it since May 2021, maybe some were added in the meantime.

I'll try to make another list for 2000-2005. I'll name it "Episodes missing list 2000-2005" and list these episodes with the dates.  I'll specify if we already have the episode in German. For the dates it shouldn't be a problem. There were some shifts between numbers and dates in the 1990s' but it isn't the case from 1997. The blog reichundschoen, IMDB and Socpcentral all have the correct dates.

Check the "2000s" folder in the coming days. I'll try to add that list in the course of the week if I have time.

Nah, it was just lazy writing and did not fit in. It COULD have made sense IF Sheila were having troubles with Eric over having a baby of their own (at this point already) or IF she were having issues with Brooke.

Speaking of Sheila: I've reached #1604 - aka. the fight for BeLieF is (almost) over. After ca. two months of backburner status, Sheila is back with full force. Concerned over Eric's health and/or the possibility to losing her newfound wealth (take your pick!), Sheila resorts to her scheming ways. When teaming up with Stephanie falls flat, Sheila realizes that she has to bond further with Brooke. They were somewhat friends before - even though mostly due to lack of other friends in town and bonding over their hatred towards Stephanie. This time around: Sheila clearly has an agenda and it is delicious: getting as close as possible to Brooke to protect Eric's interests (which Stephanie failed!!!) and maybe build a safety net of her own. At the same time, Sheila tries to promote herself to Stephanie, Eric and Ridge as their best chance to save Forrester Creations from falling into Brooke's arms. Naturally, the Forresters do not trust Nurse Sheila for their business problems - but Stephanie - thinking that she sees a scheming pro at work - grows suspicious like she did the year before that Sheila is not just an innocent nurse. 

As for the battle for BeLieF: I had totally forgotten that it was Connor's idea for Brooke to demand majority control of FC. Brooke was totally blindsided when he brought it up - yet kept a straight face not to weaken her case. The dialogue is just GREAT in all scenes of this storyline. The business aspects (lack of liquid funds, residuals, selling the patent to a third party) make a lot of sense and add an extra lawyer to all these not sooo professional motivation like Brooke's vendetta against Stephanie. This almost 30 year old storyline is still killing it on all levels. What a treat!

PS: in the totally unrelated "A" story of Macy's alcoholism, Kevin somewhat tried to play matchmaker for Sly and Darla. Based on her reaction, the "C" story of Spence&Darla is officially dead because there was no mention of it at all - and Bill Spencer has not been seen in a long time...

What it comes to old additions there’s one person who has or at least has had all the episodes of the show. He’s name is Tom Erik Hansen and he lives in Norway. He had at least two soap themed Youtube channels over the years. He has also public Instagram profile. Maybe someone who has some good skills might write to him and tell about the vault?

Other option is one Dale but I have no contact info for him.

I’ve actually messaged with Tom before. We follow each other on Twitter and messaged on there, but he’s very secretive and protective for whatever reason about sharing his episodes. I did tell him about the vault as well but never got a direct answer from him. I know he has mostly every single Y&R episode from at least 1988 as well.

I was wondering if anyone else of the "1993 watchers" has reached James Warwick's introduction storyline yet.

James Warwick really intrigues me because his storyline is such a refreshing change of pace for this soap - it plays out like a psychological whodunit, and he is an unreliable narrator who constantly keeps you guessing as to whether what he is saying is true, true on a metaphorical level, or not true at all. And some of the ”therapy” scenes are truly riveting and beautifully written, almost poetic. I especially liked the "guided imagery" dialogue.

I think the show did a good job portraying a man who is very intelligent and analytical, yet unable to cope with his own emotions and inner demons. There is this ambiguity about him where you don’t know if he’s a victim or a perpetrator until the very last moment. In a way, he is a more sophisticated version of Jake Maclaine (and the parallels between the two storylines are really very striking). James’s confrontation with his father in Scotland had me at the edge of my seat.

At the moment, I don't recall if James was ever this interesting again after he was "cured" of his psychological problems.

And a Simple Channel done by some Random Guy from God Knows where just did so much more Effort Than The Official Channel (they are posting episodes with Bobbie Eakes now, so why not include her?)

The Episodes in Portofino were Just Gorgeous, i Miss On Location Shootings, i wonder if Venice were as Beautiful, I've just seen the Brooke/Thorne Proposal, that was one of the most beautiful ever!

The clip of Thorne seeing Macy was actually in Venice.  Thorne was devastated after finding Ridge kissing Brooke in their bed.  It was a huge setup by Ridge and Eric to prevent Throne and Brooke from continuing as a couple.  Eric and Stephanie were at home.  She was recovering from her stroke and in a wheelchair.  This led to the quicky marriage of Thorne and Macy.  The other clip above is where Brooke had gone to visit Thorne for seduction and hid under his bed.  Macy came in the make love with Thorne and discovered Brooke.  The first part of the reveal is hilarious.  Wish I could post it.

    • 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.
