The Bold & The Beautiful

10 is like 2 or 3 days behind the US. It was a few weeks but with the Trump Impeachement they caught up quickly.

Correct. Tomorrow’s episode aired yesterday in the US.

Best of The Bold & the Beautiful episodes start Wednesday 29 April.

Ten have apparently bought rights to 50 classics. So that’s more than enough!

All American scripted series are on a production break now. When Neighbours went back into production last week, the ABC noted:

Neighbours is believed to be the first suspended TV drama to resume production in the English-speaking world.

Why do they feel that they need to have a permanent massive watermark that tells you that it’s a " best of" episode? I see no benefit of that. Isn’t it enough to notify viewers out of the ad breaks?

Probably for anyone that switches over part-way through and is wondering what is going on and whether it’s a new episode…much like sports events that have ā€˜Live’ in the corner etc.

Isn’t that what the info button on your remote is for? :wink:

It’s visual pollution we don’t need.

Yes, but you’re talking about the demograph that watches The Bold and the Beautiful here. They need all the help they can get.

I feel they have gone way too far forward in their ā€œBest Ofā€ episodes. They should revisit the Old School Bold & Beautiful to where it all began. The earlier episodes are more entertaining than the newer ones.

You know what would be good, if they aired brand new neighbours there instead!

Oh really? That’s not good! RIP Darlene Conley :cry: Her final episode was at the end of 2006.

John McCook presented a special message following her passing the following January: https://youtu.be/zNHO_9Eu0SM

Until her sudden departure, she got the special final credit in the opening credits (seen here on the re-vamped 2004 style which ran until 2011):

Lesley Anne Down (ā€œJackie Maroneā€) then got the final credit spot from 2007:

Been watching the Donna and Eric storyline on YouTube had to laugh when Donna was attacked by a bear :crazy_face:

Also that hope / Liam Steph triangle is a bit boring then again it’s soap. He’s not even that good looking. I was watching the episode where he was begging for hope to Marry him … lol got owned by Hope but Bill wasn’t having it.

I think that was about the time I started watching, early 2009? When Stephanie discovered Donna had been cheating on Eric?

Around 2008 and early 2009 yep you be righty. She certainly was . I think Eric has a heart attack or something in that season towards the end of the season.

Pam was great going off the rails though provided endless entertainment :heart_eyes: then she became a stickler in the mud.
