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.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
