Guys something I don't remember discussing. What is your favorite Bradley Bell storyline? He is not a good writer... But is there anything in the last 30 years that you really loved.

Mine are:

Brooke's bedroom

Brooke and Thorne scandal 

Morgan 

Breacon scandal 

And in a very cheap way but I just loved it when it was happening... The daddy Yankee sex on the terace. I've watched these episodes more times I can confess. It's just so funny unintentionally. It's so bad it's good.

 It’s still looks and sounds good though.
 

But few things I wonder… why they decide to change the model pics in the beginning? Was it to avoid 80’s effect or did it had something to do with the copyrights? Also I always wondered what’s the actual points of short, middle and long openings. In 2003 there’s also very interesting editions of something where it starts like long one but it’s still shorter. Also some photo orders are bit interesting, messy or just strange.

Guys when you download from the vault does the files abort or fail a lot... If I try to download a whole month it always fails. I have to do it episode by episode which is very sloow. What browser are you using if you don't have that problem. Please help with information.

From circa 1998, the opening would alternate between the mid (35 second) and longer (42 second) variation. A “bumper” 10 second opening debuted somewhere along the tracks, but I can’t remember exactly when (guessing circa 2000?). 

Since ~2004/5 to now, they adopted a more consistent model where the episode length is the same for 4 out of 5 episodes in any given week. The 5th episode is always 40 seconds longer because it features the 70 second closing credits. The longer closing doesn’t always appear on the same day each week.

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
