I agree. I don't buy Thorsten Kaye as Ridge or a Forrester and I don't think you can recast such an iconic, long-running role.

 

With that said, I do wonder what Robert Kelker-Kelly would do with the part.

I don't know, the way Brad Bell spoke it seemed like he was always pretty gung ho on recasting Ridge. Ronn and his wife made it VERY CLEAR how they would feel about recasting Ridge and Brad did it anyway.

That's show business baby! You don't want to continue playing a role handed to you 25 years ago? Someone else will! 

 

Hubby got me it for Christmas, along with a "Most Shocking Moments" DVD of 10 episodes (though most "shocking moments" are in the 2000's when I wasn't watching as much)

Brooke's Bedroom episode was so much fun I loved Taylor at home all but clutching her pearls and seeing Brooke being bad to torment Stephanie and Taylor and the ending scene wkth Stephanie, Brooke and Ridge falling onto the bed.

The 1991 honeymoon episode was an odd choice to represent Brooke but I think it represents the Big Four well and how complicated they were. I actually liked how over the top romantic they made the honeymoon. 

 

I hate what the show turned into overall with Brooke and Stephanie becoming BFFs and this ridiculous Ridge recast. Even if they moved past the Big Four with Steffy/Liam/Hope,  which I initially liked they just have stories with no meaning and long term impact and the first chance they have potential for gold they ruin it.

I saw that! That pushes B&B through to it’s 35th year. Haha at least B&B was able to end on a cliffhanger. I heard some chatter that B&B was looking at possibly resuming production next month but hadn’t heard any follow up unless we see Sally and Wyatt yelling at each other over Skype LOL.

It's too bad other soaps haven't done this (yes, I know about those brief GL and ATWT releases--but I'm surprised Days or Y&R haven't).  Why 16 episodes though?  Wouldn't it make sense to end at 15 or 20 (for a full month?)

 

There's a German release under the same title, except it's 25 episodes (five discs) per set and they've released 8 volumes--the first 200 episodes (which I guess is almost the first year).  They are in English and German but in European PAL format I believe.

At least they released two. I agree it should've been 20 episodes. 

 

I really wanted the German release as it had so much more content but I didn't have dvd player that could play them. I own a blu ray player and that's where I play all my dvds from soaps to TV classic shows to movies.

I wish we'd get a YR dvd release but I'm not banking on it.

    • If the show was interested in tying in one of the three prime time specials in the 90s, the smarter choice probably would have been Night Sins from 1993. Night Sins was the ushering in of Titan Publishing, the first mentions of Kate Roberts coming in to run it, plus it had involved Jack retyping a manuscript he had found in the new house he and Jen moved into... which ended up being a thinly veiled story written by Kate about her dalliance with Bill Horton that produced Lucas. However, I doubt the writers were even thinking about the prime time episodes when deciding to name the manuscript One Stormy Night.  I also don't see Stephanie being the one that would be writing it.  The current actress playing Stephanie seems to play a more passive version of Stephanie vs the previous takes by Shayna and Shelley..imho. Javi is cute... much too good for Leo.  He can do so much better.
    • I might've gone after someone like Jed Allan, or even Donald May. Though they're very different.
    • Same.   Looking forward to seeing what I missed later.
    • Question for all: Who would have made a good Mike recast after Stewart departed?
    • I think they did. Again, it is not an either/or proposition for most of the audience so far. Most don't feel the need to stan one or reject the other.
    • KKL on Bold Live on May 1st. Details here  
    • I do wonder if the show realized that fans would take to Silk Press and Eva as much as we have?    To me, I think the core four was mostly used to get eyes on the show since all four were familiar performers in both daytime and primetime.   Of the four, I think Nicole is used most effectively where it doesn't look as though she's hogging airtime.  She works as a lead and as a talk to. Anita has been the most under utilized of the four, but I do have a feeling that might be changing once the Ted/Nicole/Eva/Silk Press Story goes back to support status. Of the four, I think Dani has been over-used.. but I do still see potential for the character.  I know some people think she's the modern day Erica Kane, but I don't see that.  Erica was a Have Not that became a Have while Dani is a Have by birth and has done nothing to have earned being a Have. Good cliffhanger.
    • LOL now this sells it for me!  I can't wait to watch later tonight!
    • I think this is a great observation.  I do wonder if some of that was down to how Nixon had started writing story and plot outlines.  By this point (maybe even by the mid 70s) many have discussed how she *didn't* write detailed story outlines anymore--the focus more was on a mood or theme and ABC simply allowed that because they trusted her at this stage (in her "memoir" I think even Megan McTavish talks about Nixon's writing in this way in the 90s and she basically seems to admit that it worked for Nixon.  But if Nixon wasn't in charge of the daily execution of these ideas...)
    • Ooooooo that was a soap reveal!!!   And we even got a brief Kat vs Eva fight.   OOoooo cliffhanger!!! Oh, yeah, I remember they had a cover story, but I find it interesting that it was just mentioned again today. I wonder could it be foreshadowing another twist coming up.
