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.

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.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
