Nice to see a teaser, though bar the outdoor scenes (which I doubt will last, or will be common beyond the first few episodes) I don't think it exactly looks that much more high budget and out place with the other CBS soaps (which it shouldn't anyway). The mansion living area set looks nice, though the office looked a bit cramped which is to be expected.

Of course we can't say anything about the writing, which will be the most important factor here. I just hope they'll roll out the characters gradually rather than trying to introduce everyone too soon.

Anita is posing in that first picture like she's ready to pummel that person she's talking to. Like she's ready to pull off the earrings. Cast members have been weighing in. One called the show over the top while another described it as being insane.

YES YES YES!

Same! If anything, based on promo/social media, the four main Dupree family members would be at the forefront.

While I do see your point, I'd like to have some hope that production has some pull on this. Plus, the few shots from the teaser looked ten-times better than what The Young and the Restless have produced for their present opening, which looks cheap and horrendeous.

I've suggested this prior. A-la something like what EastEnders and Hollyoaks have done:

 

 

Considering it's more of a teaser trailer than a trailer trailer, I think it does an effective job. It's doing its job: teasing.

Too bad they didn't go for Georgia for the show's actual setting because this iconic tune might've worked as an opening, especially if they did it without cast members, although I think it would've worked just as well WITH cast members.

I'm actually curious what they'll do for a theme since we haven't had a new one in yonks and there's nothing current to compare it to. The Bold and the Beautiful is very 80s prime time soap, so I'm not sure what they'll mold it on. Do we know who is composing music for the show yet?

    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
