You are beyond amazing!!

4/19/93 seems a little questionable. I wonder if this is one of those rare cases that they preempted an entire show and just showed the next day's episode instead. Based on other sources it seems like a show did air that day?

Yeah it’s a little confusing

 I’m just gonna go with this being one of those extremely rare cases they decided to skip an episode and just move on to the next one. If that’s the case the official B&B channel that has every episode so far up to 1995, this would be an extremely rare and new episode never seen before for 4/19/93. It seems like nothing is missing based on the episode #s and airings for B&B 1993.

Per a script online, 1575 taped 6/14/93 and aired 7/1/93. So, that's a good starting point. Count how many possible airdates there are for BB since its premiere in 3/23/87, and that will confirm how many preemptions there were of BB as of June 1993.

So 260 episodes per year would bring you to 1560 episodes as of around 3/19/93,  and then another 69 episodes as of 7/1/93 would make it 1629 possible airdates, and 1575 airing that day would mean there were 54 preemptions total as of then??

Not overstepping at all. It's fun!  I figured these out for Days many years ago, so it's nice to help with another soap. Checking the Nielsen BB preemptions for what's available so far (excluding July 1989-December 1991), I have the list at 40 preemptions as of July 1993. So there has to be 14 more preemptions between July 1989-December 1991 to get the list to 54 preemptions as of July 1993.

If you have another list you are working off of, what preemptions do you have listed for July 1989-December 1991??

Thanks for this! Also, thank you for separating out the preemptions and special airings for each show - it's so much easier to read!

B&B's preemptions have always been a bigger mystery than Y&R's. I'm working off a spreadsheet that someone else sent me a while ago and revising it. The numbers for 1993 were just not adding up since it had 1994 starting at #1704. Taking that 7/1/93 script date, even accounting for an extra preemption, was ending up 5 episodes off. So I decided to restart from the beginning with 1987... and so far, have discovered that year ends at #187, not 188 as previously thought. I think the person who made the spreadsheet had some wrong dates for Iran-Contra, but the overall number of preemptions right, but then that 12/8/87 preemption no one knew about threw everything off! I won't get up to 1993 tonight, but will continue to delve into this!

    • Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.
    • Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.  She is trolling this thread.
    • The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD
    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
