Bradley denying us a Victor/Stephanie scene during the Jabot/Newman crossover was all the proof I needed that he did not inherit his father's talent. If Bill Bell wrote the Jabot/Newman crossover we most definitely would have gotten a Victor/Stephanie scene.

So far 1999 has been good. We are at the beginning.

But I'm getting worried since there are no 2000 episodes in german and 1999 is the last full year I can watch. I will wait till episodes are available and continue. Maybe start from beginning soon if there are none.

It's been a very interesting process my partner and I started the show year and a half ago and managed to watch complete 1987 to 1998 in 19 months. 

I would continue but there is this gap in the episodes and I don't want to miss them.

If anyone has anything in german from 2000 and 2001 to complete the unfull 2 years I would be so happy. Even 2002 in better german quality will be amazing since the English ones are absurd looking. I am thinking of merging the english audio with better german picture if episodes are available. I will do them myself and reupload them. Maybe... i am only dreaming... Maybe the wonderful angel @rsclassicfanforever will save us one last time... i can only pray.

It's sad to stop watching even when it's the Bradley Bell period.

We still have 1999 to go but...I am already sad.

1998 and 1999 are a lot better. Maybe because of Amber and Brooke. These characters are working and driving the story.

There's something super love bomb-ish about Ridge's treatment of Taylor in this classic episode.

But, what I really wanted to highlight is the overhead shot at the beginning of the episode and how it mirrors the overhead shot of Ridge & Taylor on the beach.  Current episodes never play with perspective in this "arty" way, even though it was fun and creative.

Picking up my '93 viewing after a few months away...1623

I had to lol when Brooke "presented" Sheila with her "new office". Sheila looks physically ill and says "what is all this... machinery?"

 eg a computer, fax machine, copier, and filing cabinets with storage boxes piled atop.

Brooke is the world's worst boss to think that Sheila would be happy with that office. And she never even responds when Sheila says "I barely know how to type". Brooke doesn't think this is a problem...?

I was quite disappointed that we don't see Macy's first AA meeting but instead hear about it after the fact

Ridge is an emotionally stunted baby for punching Connor. That was a sucker punch and Connor should have pressed charges. Taylor should have concerns about having a baby with someone who has such a hair-trigger temper.

I know in 1992 best crossover was Lauren/Sheila and Best Wedding was Taylor/Ridge

1993 I'm not sure what Best Triangle was (I don't think it was Brooke/Ridge/Taylor) but Hottest Love Scenes was Taylor/Ridge (that write up was posted on Twitter)

    • Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?
    • Thank you for the tag! It's always a pleasure to see these little pearls of memories. 
    • Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion. 
    • Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any. 
    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.
