Haha thanks!  

And YES - I loved crazy Annie - one of my favorite modern day characters.  Her feuds were so great.

💯

Of Erica's contemporaries.. Brooke and Barbara were Erica's best fued.

Of the next generation down, Annie was Erica's best feud... especially when both were at Oak Haven.  The way Annie kept reminding Erica that she was no better then her, that she also had stabbed a man, and then wondered out loud 'And people think I'm the crazy one' once she found out about Janet/Erica's burying Kinder in her backyard.

I never got how Reva and Josh's kids acted like they were a Brady. Reva  gone for so long and their parents split up constantly and Josh marrying the psycho plot line of the month..much less that Shayne would have considered Annie his mom and what happened... But Rauchie saw Reva as a soccer Mom who every man had to worship so I had use for the Lewis family post resurrection.

 

I don't remember Van and Blake..but I would have LOVED for Blake to have slept with Matt instead of with Rick, and then having his bun in the oven....open the door to Van and Ross who should have been the matriarch/partriarch of the town.

Mostly because TIIC refused to let those chickens come home to. I think one of the Marah's got to call Reva a slut, but that was quickly patched up. Reva would've been much better served by kids who realized Mom was an unreliable screw-up. 

More of the animosity between Van and Blake is with Sherry Stringfield, right around the time Vanessa returns home. Blake is pulling rank as Mrs. Spaulding, and Roger's daughter. At one point, Vanessa outright tells her she despises her because she slept her way to the top. Blake counters with something like "it's not my fault the only man you can keep interested is your daddy."  It wasn't nearly as salty with LK in the role.

Absolutely, Brooke and Barbara were great opponents. 

Oh boy, I would have to revisit those Oak Haven scenes again. I loved Annie with anyone on the cast; she made the most of all her scenes.

Early on they had Roman and Kate get stuck in an elevator together. Lots of those classic love/hate tropes over the years, culminating in them getting married (and Roman "dying").

Sheila would have been the natural choice when she poisoned Stephanie and got her in the mental ward...but they were out of each other's orbits a bit at that time.

I have to admit in general I just hate Lauren Koslow being wasted on Mumbles Taylor.

Josh is just a mistake, plain & simple. He only has this job because he's a friend.

I remember that Marah it was Lindsay McCeon who people called "porn Marah"  I actually liked her (realizing her limits as an actress) as she seemed more introverted and just generally annoyed by Reva ( I hated when they wanted that heavier girl to act like Reva Jr.) It was Taggert who let Marah jump down Reva's throat when she was in prison, and Marah got to say "Once again, your not around so someone else has to take care of your responsibilities.") Reva would have had much better more realistic drama if it centered on her screwed up kids and her futile efforts to be the kind of mom the wanted (but then Kimmer wouldn't be the center of the story so she would much rather be cloned, or travel through paintings.) 

That scene between Van and Blake would have been GREAT! "Oh NO she DIDN"T!" Van should have always been at Spaulding...( I would have Spaulding take over Lewis and never mention it again and we never see that ugly Lewis Oil office.)

I still stand behind the idea that Robert Newman should take over as Roman. Robert working with Lauren and Deidre would elevate the show. (Yes, I know Josh Taylor isn't going anywhere).

That's something I always wanted to happen with Brooke and Stephanie on B&B as well. I would have loved for them to team up against a mutual enemy at some point. KKL and SF could definitely have sold that beautifully, just like AS and LK could.

It happened briefly in 1995 when Brooke (and others) stood in front of Stephanie when Sheila held her at gunpoint (at 11:04)

Beyond that, when RN played a bad guy on Y&R he didn't like living in LA plus was homesick for wife & young grandsons, etc. But, if the show was ready to seriously do a real recast Roman Brady, I have no doubt that one could be found who would be happy to be in LA & employed even at bargain basement prices. But, I mean, great idea, as RN would be so good in this role.

This was one of the moments when Brooke showed that she was the bigger person in her feud with Stephanie. Another was when Stephanie was in hospital after being poisoned by Sheila and Brooke visited her with drawings from Rick and Bridget wishing her well.

If the shoe had been on the other foot Stephanie would only have visited Brooke in hospital to gloat and in the scene above she would probably have helped Sheila aim properly....

Great observation!

I liked that Brooke put their feud aside in trying to defend Stephanie's life at a time of crisis. Brooke does have good in her, despite her notorious antics.

Cold to say but, I like that Stephanie didn't break and feel sorry for Sheila when she was about to off herself (after years of terrorizing others).

It's telling that Stephanie was the only one in the room who didn't discourage Sheila from doing it.

I would add Brooke vs Caroline OG in the classic days. That was a loong, beautiful feud that started as a "friendship" (not possible when Brooke Logan is one of the people)
