I've been dipping my toes into 1987 back again... just scrolling through episodes and watching more important scenes... I am crying, laughing and getting goosebumps... like... every single episode. It's SOOOO good. It's so strange how with time you actually forget how good the show was, you get accustomed to the lower standard...

Sheila - So Stephanie who's crazy now, who's crazy now, as she laughs and sips champagne while they pan to Stephanie in the mental institution rocking back and forth in that chair.

 

Man when this show is good it's GOOD.

 

Sheila and Grant had some good chemistry

Hopefully the Angel is able to upload some more of Season 10 to keep us going.

  There's 40ish episodes left to complete Season 10 in the vault. Real shame the youtube channel jumped from the end of season 8 to season 13. There's a lot of people there left hanging wanting to see season 9 and the bridging seasons.

Yes. Luckily it's already in the Vault (and complete from what I could see).

Yes, I'm hoping for more S10 uploads from Videoland! I do have Videoland but don't have a very good way of saving the episodes in good quality (I used to do screen recordings but the quality was uneven).

It's odd that the yt channel decided to skip to S13, but the good part is that they uploaded in better quality and three episodes a day, so it completes the collection sooner. Pretty soon with some luck we'll have almost complete from 1987 to early 00s, which in my opinion is the classic era.

There was a rumor they'd start again from Season 1 in HD, but that remains to be seen. In the meantime, it would be great for them to continue covering through to Season 18 (where they sort of started putting older episodes up), and hopefully fill in all the missing episodes along the way, so they're all available in English. The biggest dream would be for them to upload all of the seasons in HD, replacing existing inferior quality episodes. It does seem they want the channel to succeed with them having the actors preview each month now, so hopefully that is their plan.

I had Videoland for years, until their PayPal payment stopped in January this year. I don’t have a Dutch credit card to continue the payments. All other European credit cards fail, they only permit cards issued in the Netherlands.

Unfortunately i found out that paypal is not an option too. I wonder if the so called virtual credit cards are. Some sites does not recognize european virtual credit cardts as european and allow transactions. Not that i have one to check.

Videoland is only about 300 episodes before the HD Youtube 1999 episodes... In just half a year they will catch up with them and by that time Youtube will be in late 2003. Just in half a year... Most of the 1987-2003 period will be complete. I think what Bold did is groundbreaking.... to sell their entire catalogue from day 1 to new platforms and television stations - multiple ones. The Youtube channel, as much as we criticized it, is also revolutionary. Bold is now the first 9000+ episode American soap opera that has basically uploaded and made their entire run available. That's nearly 40 seasons and thousands of hours of video material. Now I hope Y&R sees this great example and finds a way to stream their show from DAY 1.

    • I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first into to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.
