So perfectly said!

One of my most favorite moments. Written by the talented Patrick Mulcahey. He could write the best Brooke-Taylor dialogue in the more... modern era.

Thank God he didn't learn, because we wouldn't have gotten then iconic Not gonna happen Rick.

That moment was decades of bad acting in the making

In the early years of B&B it was easy to ignore Ronn Moss acting due to Bill Bell writing and having scene partners Susan Flannery and Joanna Johnson to carry him through his scenes. Ronn Moss acting got progressively worse during the 1990s. Then again Bradley writing didn't help matters either.

Caroline becomes such a shrew in the months after finding out about Brooke and Thorne hiding the letter. The actress is still charismatic, but does she ever get the 1987 magic back, or is this the new normal for the character? She of course has a right to be mad, but piling on Brooke - who took her into her home for 3 or 4 months after she was after she was assaulted - and forgiving Thorne right away rings false.

Speaking of the OG quad storyline, the other major plot hole is the Eric/Beth/Stephanie connection. Brooke obsesses over Ridge finding out about the letter, but the thought that Eric leaving Stephanie for her mom never seems to enter her head that this would be a bigger roadblock to getting with Ridge.

As we know, episodes got shorter in the US over the years from 22 minutes in 1987, to just under 20 minutes for the 2004/5 season, and just 19 minutes today. 

Can anyone pinpoint when exactly they started adding the two minute bonus scene to episodes for the international market so that the 21-22 minute runtime was maintained? The bonus scene, which Bradley describes as ‘prologue c’ here, is placed 6-7 minutes into each episode (before the first ad break) on international episodes. Given episodes were gradually shortened in the US, it’s hard to know when they started adding the bonus for the rest of the world. It’s a shame they’re not uploading the longer edit to YouTube - some of you guys in the US would never have seen the additional footage.
