B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

The future will show which ones of us were right. I believe that they will air past season 12... At least till 2005-2006. Some of you don't. I have my own reasons, you can disagree all you want. 

Also I never said that all Dutch people are not fluent in English, but there are a lot of them that need subtitles and don't know the language to that level. I've visited Netherlands many times... And I have my own impression of this. That's why they have the subtitles. If they didn't need them... They would air without subtitles. 

Also... A lot of things are on YouTube... But they still air on channels and stream on platforms. 

We also don't know how much money Bold is paid for the classic seasons, so some of this is pure speculation.

And... Videoland has shown time after time that Bold classics are in their top 5 watched shows... Quite frequently.

I doubt they will remove one of their top 5 shows because episodes are being uploaded on YouTube.

Yes, they will cease at some point, but it will not be for a few more years.

And just a reminder...when Bold started uploading season 10 on YouTube there was the same sentiment that maybe Videoland will cease at season 10. Well... They didn't. So history has shown that what is being uploaded on YouTube doesn't deter Videoland.

So all of this combined with the person who was in contact with them and they told him they do plan to continue airing the next seasons...

I am like 99.9 percent sure they won't stop soon.

I do hope I am right.

Sadly I think the same will happen to new Taylor and the rest of the newbies... who are already in their twist of the day phase, just before HE (the one who shall not be names) gives them the exits.

I don't think Brad got bored with Ashley at all. For me it seemed that someone at CBS realized what a colossal mistake they did by letting Eileen Davidson go from Y&R - and hence Ashley returned to Genoa City. If I recall correctly, Eileen Davidson had a full contract year at B&B around her full contract guarantee of episodes. Pairing her with Kyle Lowder was cringe but in general she proved what an amazing actress she is. Her stint on B&B felt seemless to her decades of work as Ashley.

Maybe... maybe not. I don't know. I still think she started strong, got interesting and the last 20-30 episodes with her... seemed like Bradley doesn't know what to do with her - which could be BORED or Knows-she-is-out too. I don't have much more info on it.

Her exit from Restless was because she spoke-out against Lynn Marie Latham, so the result was she was cut. When Maria Arena & Hogan Sheffer were brought in, they crafted up the Victor/Ashley reunion storyline, which is what prompted her return to Genoa City. I do believe had Arena & Sheffer not been put into their positions, Davidson would have stayed at Bold for longer than she did. But clearly, Bradley Bell knew she'd leave eventually.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time. 
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.
