Thank God for these people that still make the show one of the top watched shows on the VL app. It amazes me that it still continues to climb there. These people love their Bold. ❤️

That's amazing they love the show so much over there. I too never thought I'd see most of these episodes again. Hopefully over time the official channel will fill all the gaps and replace everything with HD.

Today 30 years ago these 4 B&B stars visited our country Finland 👍🙂

These pictures are amazing. Thank you for sharing! 

 

Today I found a pretty amusing similarity between an opening shot from 2003 and a new one from 2024. Can we guys find similar things happening through the years? The same type of shot in the intro... reimagined? 

 

Finn today.

Original - episode 3973 - Michael Dietz as Mark Maclaine

 

That a show which constantly recycles stories also recycles opening pictures is almost to be expected....

Absolutely. As soon as I saw that shot... I said to myself... I have seen this... and had to hunt it down. 😂

Does anyone remember the scene where Sheila threatens Stephanie and she retorts "I'm shaking"? Been trying to find it. Thanks!

I get the sense the original writing plan may have been to use Ridget to drive a wedge between Eric and Ridge, and thus advance the Massimo paternity retcon story. Beyond just the overall sickness of the plotline, I also have this weird feeling like it was a clumsy attempt to redeem Brooke from Breacon, not by writing a workable redemption story (or better yet, not doing Breacon in the first place, as massive a guilty pleasure as it was), but by dragging down other characters so she doesn’t appear comparatively as bad.
 

The twin storyline was also weird. Seems they were going for a Deacon/April romance, and then one of those unexpected moods struck Bell, so she disappered and the Deacon/Macy thing started, with very little development as I recall. I do remember somewhat liking the latter pairing (other than that pacing issue), but who knows how I’ll look at it this time around once I get to those episodes. There’s also the South America Sheila storyline to look forward to later in the year. Utterly inept garbage, but it did make howl with laughter at how terrible it was.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on Macy/Thorne/Darla in more detail. 

 

For some reason I see this post just now... I missed it before. 

I'm sorry for my late response. @Anooj I appreciate all your commentary.

What I think about the Macy, Darla, Thorne situation is that it's very reductive, very cliche, very boring, but at least it's more edible than Ridge calling Bridget my princess every episode. At least I don't feel like throwing up watching it. At least the characters are not crazily related so that it will border on incest. 

But I find the sudden reactivation of Darla... unbelievable and her sudden love for Thorne - absurd. She's known this man practically her whole life... and now... just NOW decided she wants his babies. Stupid.

Deacon with the blond hair in 2003... I'm horrified.

I don't have the pictures at hand, but some I remember:

- Felicia's shot in the 1990 opening looked like OG Kristen's shot (peeking through a gate). The same gate also appeared in one of Becky's shots in 1999.

- One of Adam's shots in the 1998 opening (lounging in the pool) looked like one of Clarke's shots from the previous year.

- Kristen #2 in 2001 had a similar pose to Maggie from the 1995 opening and Macy in the 1999 opening (sitting on the couch dressed in a silky robe).

- The same living room / striped couch appears in shots used for Claudia Cortez (1996) and Jennifer Finnigan's Bridget (2000).

- When Darla was re-added to the opening in 2003, one of her shots (looking out of the  window) resembled Taylor's old shots, just mirrored, and the other one with the satin bed sheets resembled one of Lauren's shots from the 1998 opening.

- Winsor Harmon's Thorne, Lilly Melgar's Claudia, and Jennifer Finnigan's Bridget all had shots taken at the same green window.

Prior to the 2003 affair, Darla definitely showed some interest Thorne. In 1997, when Thorne had moved into his beach house, Darla visited him there and aggressively flirted with him. In the 90s, when Darla was still on contract – she was bumped to recurring once Saul had died –, they tested Darla with a lot of men (Clarke, Thorne, Anthony, Connor, Dylan), but never fully went there. At one point, she even dreamed of being Eric's wife.
