Not the episodes I would’ve asked for, but I’ll watch them lol. I just hope they don’t go too far past 2005. Personally I would’ve skipped one of those episodes and maybe done a 2006 episode with the Carmen saga. Perhaps when Dru went to that party drunk and Neil had to drag her out.

Even B&B has been feeling the effects of budget crunches lately, and has definitely started to deteriorate IMO (on the production end, writing has been TRASH for the longest). 

 

These soaps will never look presentable again under any conditions sadly. If the networks/production companies won't invest in them, neither will the folks doing the actual work.

Bold is so cheap lately it looks like it's a web series. It's disgusting. How did they let it get so cheap. Watching 1987 it's like watching expensive suite in russian hotel to now 2020... cheap las vegas motel.

I wasn't watching Y&R in 2012 so its nice to see a "classic" I have never seen before. However, seeing Victor and Sharon together makes me vomit. Could there have ever been a more pairing that should have never been? Makes me cringe even more than Victor and Ashley

 

The Sharon/Nikki fight was funny but it was very fake looking. They could have done a better job to make it look real. Nikki was hardly fighting back and Sharon's slaps you could tell she wasn't actually hitting Nikki

I remember these. I was watching YR at the time. I also remember today's episode, I may have been watching BB a bit at the time and decided to see what was happening on YR.

The fight was horrible. If you're going to have a fight in 2012 it needs to be more animated. Sharon looked like she wasn't reacting half the time and Nikki was so delicate with those blows it didn't translate well on screen. Sharon could have been laughing and telling Nikki her granny claws feel like a infant's touch with her debilitating arthritis. But seriously, there was nothing cute about that fight.

Dead! But so accurate. At least BB can still afford a crappy green screen with images of Vegas. DAYS is having extras (probably an assistant's daughter working for food) running around in a beret so we believe they're in Paris somewhere.

Everything was so yellow in that episode. Daniel’s Kurt Cobain hair was yellow. Sharon and Nikki were yellow. The hay was yellow. The blinding light on everything was yellow.

That’s not what I said, and you know it. The episodes from the first couple years don’t represent what the show became or is known for. The show’s history is not there — not in production or acting. 
 

I watched those eps out of curiosity, believing they’d be interesting, and good. I was bored. I think you have to go to the late ‘70s  to see the good stuff.

 

But thanks for the snark.

    • "On a shallow note" Martin gets all the booty from his Daddy, Ted is just as stacked as his son, LOL! I had to say it.
    • Lol! If Kat is going to do one thing, it's going to be give shade.   And of course, the Duprees would get into formation and team up. Sadly, I don't think they have anything on Silk Press Sheila.    Poor Nicole.   But loving it. I know I'm invested besides I'm seriously side-eying Vanessa/Doug cuz I want to get to the meat. And I love that every single beat is getting played.    Oooo Nosy Nurse!!!   OOOOHHHH so Silk Press Sheila and Nicole were preggers at the same time. And HA!!! The lawyer WAS Bill!  The acting is superb. Silk Press Sheila even toyed with Martin a little bit.   Ooooomg! Eva revealed.   Wait! Is it food posioning for Vanessa or is she with child?
    • Well, if you add that one caveat, oddly, it disqualifies Renee. Because she is one person who was both the planner (if you will) and also the "evil" revealer. Weird but that is THE difference.  And it's the only difference. But, sure, I think those words make it unique. THE REVEALER CONVINCES HER TARGET TO HOST THE EVENT. Right?  Well, if we nitpick The Revealer used her secret agent to convince their target to do this shindig. Yes. That's it. Because Leslie/Sheila/Sherry/Dana/Leslie/Mom didn't do it by herself. She HAD to have Eva doing her part.  Okay, run with that.  And, why not discuss it here? It's topical.     
    • Hahaha!!! Not Naomi being sure Chelesa ain't filming this time!!!   At last! Kat is proven right!!!   And hey, Nicole's Doctor friend, hey!!!   So far...this is giving.
    • Leslie having the nerve to show up at the Dupree House was pure insanity. Bill being revealed to be more ruthless than anyone would have thought was a good development. I have to imagine that will change Dani's view of wanting him back. The whole reveal was well done and Trisha Mann-Grant owned those scenes. That was most definitely material for an Emmy submission reel.
    • I agree, all the Guys Tux were nice. I like how they differ from each other and all stylish in a way. Awe, same. Can not believe I actually have enjoying a current daytime soap. Rewatching these episodes over the weekend as a jump back into Ryan's Hope and Santa Barbara. Agreed! Exciting times.

       And it was pretty dope we didn't know that tidbit before the reveal.  
    • yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.
