I have to admit I didn't pay much attention to the Constantine storyline. It felt like added filler to the show which at that time was all about the Shane McGrath shooting and Stephanie's crusade to get Brooke's kids taken off her.

Thank you

Yes it looks like they've got 2002 sorted. Fingers crossed.

Once Sarah Buxton was gone, the show really lost its fun vibe. I was super excited for 2001, but it ended up being kind of a letdown.

By January 2002, things are really heating up again. The show is totally hitting its stride. Ronn Moss absolutely crushed it in the boardroom scene. Usually, his serious face doesn’t do much for the show, but when it comes to a business storyline, he really nails it.

It's funny how hardly anyone brings up 2004. It feels like that year is totally overlooked when people discuss B&B. I don't think the show has even posted any episodes from that year. I only started watching the show regularly from 2005 onwards, so anything before that seems like a blur.

I kinda liked 2001... and loved 2002. And overall 1999-2003 is LIGHT years more strong period than 1994-1998. 2004 and 2005 are not bad at all! AT ALL. And 2005 has one of my most favorite camp storylines - Stephanie's heart attack that gave us that iconic showdown between Brooke and Stephanie... in the presence of Jackie. It was sooo great.  2003-2007 is very Nick oriented... and it started GOOD and ended up badly. He would change women and they would change him every couple of months. And I hated the Nick/Brooke/Bridget triangle. It was disgusting and went for waaay too long.

Guys if you could pick... which 3 seasons of the show are the ultimate worst... LIKE absolute worst.

I have my picks.

1. 2024 - uninspired drivel, parody of the former show. Mints, toes and staplers... And a backpack.

2. 2022 - incredibly boring, skippable year. It had 4 months of Brooke crying because she kissed Santa. Yawn.  

3.1994 - a huge flop compared to the years before it. It's like.. the show's first car crash where nothing was the same afterwards.

    • 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.
