Oh this was fantastic! It appears Bill Bell modeled Stephanie/Brooke after Jill/Katherine a bit.

 

I didn’t realize Brooke was already a ho in the early years of Bold. It’s amazing that literally nothing has changed about her except Stephanie’s dead.

I recall reading an interview where she found the taping schedule to be a lot and to be happy back at Y&R. It’s been some years since I read it. I believe the pay was an issue as well. As I said it’s been years so maybe I’m misremembering.

I can't speak to if Eileen "hates" DAYS. HOWEVER, at Y&R, they pay for the actors' lunch while the dressing rooms & studios are in bad repair at DAYS. Personally, I'd take a free lunch...

I believe it. I was just curious as I knew she was doing both at one point.

Bill Bell used elements of Katherine/Jill and Vanessa/Lorie for Stephanie/Brooke. This Thursday's B&B repeat is another Stephanie/Brooke confrontation, a clip from this episode is earlier in the thread and it's Susan Flannery's Emmy winning episode for 2000.

Meanwhile at Days the actors work for food

Yeah. Bill was the King of reusing plots until Ron Carlivati came along lol

 

The Eric/Brooke storyline is being posted by AmySilence and I can’t wait to see it in its entirety.

Deeply unfortunate that it isn't on YouTube but the climax of the Jill/Kay feud of ownership of the Chancellor mansion in 1998 included one of the best confrontations ever on daytime.

 

Jill to Kay:  "By the time I came into their lives - she was a monster, he couldn't stand to be in the same room as her. She was a fall down drunk and she reeked of booze and her tongue would rip your head off. I gave that man something he'd never had before. Love. And sex. Good healthy SEX with a SOBER, sweet smelling woman and it drove her SO MAD with jealously that she KILLED HIM! DID YOU KNOW THAT? Did you know that she killed Phillip by driving him off a cliff while she was drunk!!!! Come on Katherine, tell you're guests about your glorious times in this house with Phillip!"

 

+1 - Jill exploded at Katherine in that scene. It was fantastic. "YES I WANTED TO HURT KATHERINE! SHE KILLED MY PHILLIP! WOMAN, YOU TOOK WHAT WAS MINE AND I AM TAKING IT BACK!"

At least Bill was good at it.

IMO, most soap scribes tended to reuse plots.

See? More reason that I want to see it. I remember the start of the house feud, the attic fight. I even remember SOD naming it the BEST FEUD in that year's BEST AND WORST. I can even paraphrase it...take two women who hate each other, nuture a feud over the same man for 20+ years with very little chance (not even the man dying), have one find out they were willed a house. Have these women played by two veteran actresses who love to mix it up with each other and can anything (living room, coffeehouse, courtrooms). Let it marinate two days a week. GIVE THEM LAWYERS. (loved this part hehe). And what do you get? Jill and Katherine...the best duo in daytime!!!

 

And yet, I never saw the end of the storyline.

Re: Eileen I believe you are right about the taping schedule. She just felt that if they would let up on her, she would have stayed there longer if I am remembering the same interview. But she didn't hate them. I thought time and scheduling was the issue, not pay.

 

And Kristen is a character that would always be frontburner. And with ED in the role, she was always that without little break so ED would almost always burn out or want a break...something DAYS never wanted to do. Maybe if they would have done her like they did with Stefano during Reilly's first run (or even Luke over on GH) where he came and went as needed. Kristen is also a Phoenix now herself.
