Yes, the first half of 1995 has a lot of action!

Then the second half of 1995 has no exciting storylines left and we're left with dull storylines that go nowhere - Maggie's relationship with Dylan that just ends without Jessica finding out, Eric's flirtation with Taylor that just ends without Stephanie finding out, Taylor's stalker that just stops stalking her and I don't think we even find out who it was, Rick throwing tantrums that go nowhere, Sally stealing designs but changing her mind after Eric's fake proposal and then the whole thing is forgotten with no lasting consequences for anyone - just a whole bunch of anticlimaxes and no payoff.

Sheila singlehandedly saves the show by returning in late 1995 and breathing new life into it.

@YRfan23 have you seen 1984/1985, 2/24 and 2/27/95? It has key Sheila scenes you will love.

Sheila finally tells Mike about her past with Lauren. They're good flashbacks to the farmhouse. And it's so funny, because Sheila admits committing heinous crimes like the baby switch and kidnapping Lauren, but she leaves out important facts that are less flattering to her

She describes her and Scott as being "so in love". But she forgets mentioning that she had to drug Scott to get him to impregnate her, and she doesn't tell Mike that Scott and Lauren were married! She makes Lauren sound like "the other woman" who got pregnant.

Haha yes I have seen those episodes!! definitely key moments as they lead into Sheila’s return to GC on Feb 28-March 2, 1995! 
 

That’s definitely very consistent of Sheila that she constantly spins her own details of all the events that led up to the farmhouse! Even in 2005 when she comes back she paints herself as the “victim” who was In love with Scott and Lauren was the “b*tch who stole her from him!

Hmm I see what you mean about 2/28/95 not being in the vault... but I swear to god I just watched it!

 based on this below recap I found from the old 90s soaps message boards. I'm away from home for work so can't check my downloaded files now. When I get home, if I find it, I'll reply back.

2/28/95: BRAD/LAUREN/SHEILA/ERIC/MARJORIE 

Lauren's Executive Office (in case you didn't know that's what kind of 
office it is, we are given several closeups on the nameplate throughout the 
show):  Lauren is busy clearing her desk in preparation for her trip to LA 
when Brad enters. After rehashing the fact that Lauren in on her way to LA 
and Forrester Creations, Brad wants to know her game plan. Now we rehash the 
James/Sheila stuff. Brad wonders if Lauren is actually planning on seeing 
Sheila. 

Eric Forrester's Office (I don't know if it's an Executive Office or not 
since they did not let me see the nameplate. Perhaps the office is waiting 
to be promoted to Executive Office and didn't want to be compared to 
Lauren't Executive Office.): Sheila is on the phone playing power executive. 
She has a snit when she can't get her way with the person on the other end. 
The guy I think is Eric comes in and gives her several things to do for him, 
including booking a suite at the Four Seasons for Fenmore for tonight. 
Sheila quietly freaks. Eric is confused about why this should surprise her. 
Sheila thinks he could save Lauren a long plane flight by sending her a 
catalog. Eric says Lauren doesn't mind the flight and besides, they are good 
friends. He leaves. Sheila slams her notepad down and wonders what the h*!! 
Lauren is up to. 

Lauren's Executive Office: Brad is concerned about what Lauren will do if 
she has to socialize with Sheila and warns her to stay as far away from 
Sheila as possible. Lauren feels she can handle Sheila and besides, they 
have some unresolved business and it's time to put an end to that.  Lauren 
says Sheila put her through living h*!! and it's time for her to pay for 
what she did. Brad thinks that revenge could be dangerous but he can't 
change Lauren's mind. So he warns her to be careful. (Now, isn't Brad the 
one who didn't want Ashley to go on vacation with the harmless Blade and had 
to tag along to protect her? But he's going to let Lauren go off to 
rendevous with a homicidal maniac with only a stern warning? Nice boyfriend, 
real helpful guy.) 

Eric's Forrester's Incognito Office: Sheila is ranting to herself. She can't 
let Lauren come here. She has to stop her. Using Eric's address book, she 
calls the airlines to get a seat on the next flight to Genoa City. To show 
how very important this is, she agrees to accept a seat in the coach section 
as it is all that is left. It leaves in an hour. 

The Elevator and Hallway at Fenmore's: Sheila arrives on the elevator. (Gee, 
traveling coach is rough. There weren't even any seats in that thing.) She 
opens the Executive Office door without knocking and is distressed to see 
that Margaret, no uh, Marily, no that's not it, uh Marjorie, yes that's it 
Marjorie is still there. She knows that Marjorie will recognize her and not 
let her anywhere near Lauren. She places a call to Marjorie from the handy 
Just For Sheila pay phone outside the Executive Office and pretends to be 
from the recieving dock. Marjorie tries to blow her off but eventually 
Sheila convinces her she must go down to recieving to sign for a package 
from Paris (ou la la!)  

Lauren's Executive Office: Marjorie lets Lauren know where she is going. 
Lauren in sitting on a couch opening letters with a sharp letter opener when 
the phone rings. She crosses to her desk and puts down the opener. (No, no 
pick it back up! Can't you hear the music? AIEEEEE!)  

Hallway at Fenmore's: Sheila watches Marjorie leave and enters stealthily, 
trailed by loud, eerie music. 

Lauren's Executive Office: Lauren has seated herself in the chair behind her 
desk and is conveniently turned facing away from the door as Sheila, 
trailing her music and heavy breathing sound effects, enters. She 
immediately spots the sharp letter opener and makes a move for it just as 
Lauren is hanging up. Sheila doesn't get it although I don't see why, Lauren 
couldn't have stopped her. She just wimped out. Lauren says the Y&R line 
(Sunday School version): Sheila, what the H*!! are you doing here? Sheila 
couldn't wait to see her, they need to talk. Lauren reminds her that she is 
on her way to LA momentarily. In fact she has a dinner date with Sheila's 
husband tonight. Sheila is not thrilled.

This whole conversation reminded me of something!

 

Back in July, @ustonmi1982 generously came forward to offer some Sheila-centric Y&R episodes. They sent me the raw footage from the tapes to edit and date but that was during that time when both vaults were offline for a long while, and then I completely forgot about them. I'm uploading now.

Here's a list of B&B that were on those tapes. I will post a list of the Y&R on that thread, which may be of interest since it's a lot of Sheila stuff. That will take longer as there was quite a bit of Y&R.

 

B&B 7/3/98 full (new in English!)
B&B 8/5/98 partial  (new in English!)
B&B 8/7/98 full (new in English!)
B&B 9/17/98 clip (new in English!)
B&B 12/31/98 (very short clip)

    • 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.
