Episodes S4 E170 – 205
This Jake storyline is very interesting, especially for 1990. And it also makes me sad at how flippant and tasteless Bradley Bell has been with them in recent years. He was part of the writing team by this point, so he should know how it should be done. Very Bold story. Very. And I am glad that Todd McKee was able to play this material after being wasted at Santa Barbara during his time there as Ted Capwell. Again, between his time as Ted and his beginning as Jake, he looked so much more "grown up", which I adore. And the McKee home does remind me of the Perkins' home, which is also very interesting.
Glad we are back in the courtroom. Feels like the last time we were genuinely in a court proceeding was Caroline's rape case, and this really drives home the Sally vs Stephanie rivalry. And good on Thorne for being in lawyer mode.
Made it to Marla Adams' debut as Beth! Again, good idea on paper for a recast, but... I do not buy her in the role. At all. Her casting, in my eyes, completely undermined why I believe Judith Baldwin was recast with Nancy Burnett. She feels like an equal to Stephanie, and it always kind of felt like they wanted Beth to be the opposite of what Stephanie was, and therefore, both Baldwin and Adams do not fit that role.
Ridge asking Brooke to marry him? C'mon now... my goodness, this is insufferable. Oh, it was a dream. Wow. Signs of things to come, uh-oh.
Not going to lie, this selection of episodes did not do much for me until the come-up to the wedding.
