Now that CBS is going to air actual classic episodes it's time for a thread.

 

 

I guess May 4 is not a Stephanie Forrester week, but a best weddings week:

Then, as THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL comes down the aisle, storylines will include:

On Monday, May 4, Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo) desperately attempts to escape from Prince Omar (Kabir Bedi) to let Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) know that she’s alive, while Ridge and Brooke (Lang) have their epic first wedding in front of friends… and foes on the beautiful beach in Point Dume, Calif. The episode originally aired Sept. 30, 1994.

 

On Tuesday, May 5, Steffy (Wood) and Liam (Clifton) are wed in front of the iconic Opera House on the glorious Sydney, Australia harbor. While the ceremony progresses in front of family and friends, Wyatt (Darin Brooks) eases his sorrows over his brother’s marriage to his ex-wife with several drinks. The episode originally aired March 22, 2017.

 

On Wednesday, May 6, Katie (Tom), the only woman to have ever stolen Dollar Bill's (Diamont) heart, walks down the aisle to become Mrs. William Spencer, Jr., with her sisters at her side, at the San Fernando Valley home where she was raised. Legendary CBS star Patrick Duffy (“Dallas”) guest stars as Katie’s father, Stephen Logan. The episode originally aired Nov. 13, 2009.

 

On Thursday, May 7, Eric Forrester (McCook) and Brooke Logan (Lang) say “I Do” as Eric’s ex-wife, Stephanie (Susan Flannery), and Brooke’s true love, Ridge (Kaye), watch without objection. Eric then takes Brooke on a romantic and surprise honeymoon in a magnificent hot-air balloon in Palm Springs, Calif. The episode originally aired Jan. 8, 1991.

 

Wrapping up on Friday, May 8: Having overcome astounding obstacles, Hope (Kim Matula, in a role currently played by Annika Noelle) and Liam (Scott Clifton) joyously say “I Do” in front of family, friends, and the many residents of the beautiful city of Puglia, Italy. Frustrated and brokenhearted, Steffy (Wood) updates Eric (McCook) and Stephanie (Flannery) on the dramatic events transpiring in Puglia. The episode originally aired June 26, 2012.

Lol these 1991 episodes revolving around Eric & Brooke’s wedding and then now Eric & Brooke’s honeymoon are hilariously over the top with too much pompous grandiose, especially since the would end up divorced they following year.

Agree completely. I feel that way about all of their weddings— just ridiculous, and the vows are hysterical because we know none of it lasts or means anything.

 

This episode LOOKED really old and dated, too — those long, lingering looks, the camera pans that lasted forever, the hot air balloon that’s supposed to give you the feels while it’s a cliche from hell.

It wasn't a very interesting episode IMO. Didn't we have the preceding episode two weeks ago? It's like someone pulled out one episode and said well let me take this one right next to it and use it for another week. Is a wedding the most exciting thing they have to show us about Brooke? I don't know, maybe it is but I feel like if you're showing one off episodes they need to have more action and excitement. This dragged on a bit and maybe without the context it did make me super uncomfortable that mom and son were having a conversation about their exes who are now together. Stephanie telling Ridge it's not over with her ex-husband and Ridge knwowing his ex is married to his father. I mean it's not a new concept on soaps to have all these characters have relationships with each other and marry each other and I have watched BB before for many years so I was aware of the history. However, I'm not sure if this exchange just made the concept more obvious where I was just a bit creeped out. 

 

And the fact she goes between these men several times throughout the years. It's like I'm glad yall are environmentally friendly and like to recycle but you dont need to apply that concept to your women. It's like your dad knows your wife's goodies as much as you do and you took her back and went to each other's weddings and then back again. Oh lord...I can't.

I always liked those episodes but they might be very 80s with the tent in the dessert.

 

Today's episode however is a true classic. Brooke's Bedroom extravaganza (why would they ever SKIP the BeLieF showdown in Eric's FC office is beyond me. KKL was KILLING the scene!) is some fancy camp and still present to this day in some form. And Brooke is very desperate and wh*rish in in this episode which is true to character unlike her present self. LOL

Ronn Moss again? Wow!

@Soapsuds Are you a fan of Ronn Moss?

Brooke in her skivvies ending up between Stephanie and Ridge in bed? Little on the nose, don’t you think?

I guess they couldn't afford the music rights to Right Said Fred

He was a terrible actor. Probably one of the worst but he is Ridge.....

Too bad they don’t show classic episodes in sequence.

Did they change the music?

Agree. I thought RM's acting got progressively worse as the 1990s went on.

Thorsten Kaye will never be Ridge.

That 1991 honeymoon episode was over-the-top soap romance schmaltz. LOL I'm guessing that was a hit in 1991, as we winded down from the opulence of the 80's, but boy that was pure cheese. 

 

I liked the Stephanie/Ridge scenes because at the time, it was the first go-around of swapping partners and people marrying daddy figures and whatnot, which would go on to become a B&B staple, but at the beginning it was escandalo!
