While 10 is screening 50 classic episodes of The Bold & the Beautiful, one die-hard fan has come up with a list of his own.
TVT reader Cahal says, “B&B fans are a passionate tribe. They care about the show and want re-runs to highlight the absolute best. Soap fans know their shows inside out, and with that, I produced a list of what I feel are thee greatest moments fans will love. It’s an opportunity for newer viewers to see the shows past.
“Weddings, Births, and the feel-good episodes are a nice-to-do, but they don’t showcase the heart and soul of any soap opera.
“Citing commentary on the B&B Australia Facebook page that I manage, viewers have been very clear about 10’s offering: more classic drama, less episodes from the last 15-20 years. Engagement on socials is higher when an older episode airs and 10 is praised.
Cahal says he has looked for d-r-a-m-a, impact and action to collate his Top 50.
“The real definition of ’soap opera’: high stakes, shock moments, outrageousness, thrill, LOL moments, catfights, brawls, fiery anger from Stephanie Forrester. And of course that jaw-dropping moment Stephanie’s secret child Angela Forrester is exposed way back in Season 2.
“Drop a sentence how fans would love a re-run from the beginning, maybe on the new multi-channel coming soon, or even exclusive to 10play. The Netherlands began a very successful re-run 18 months ago and have screened almost 800 episodes to date.”

Awesome list Cahal, well researched.
I sincerely hope when the 50 run out (of which some have been removed on tenplay and different ones instead played on TV), that Ten/CBS considers play sequences of episodes to tell a storyline eg Sheila’s Goodbye Party (involving a gun, poison and tons of drama), as I doubt 10 weeks will be enough to bridge the gap between when the new episodes ran out, and when they will return. It will make it more likely for viewers to tune in if the episodes aren’t all over the place, and in sequence.
The episodes they have been playing are all over the place. Very hard to figure out what’s what and definitely who is he/she? Oh, she’s Caroline, but yesterday someone else was Caroline. Same for Ridge, Thorn, Thomas, etc. Jump ahead to current Ridge, Thomas etc. Next day back to the Ron Moss and Pierson Fodé episodes. Friday’s ep seemed to just be models parading. Any from above list would be great to see.
The finest episode ever was when Prince Omar forced Taylor to watch Ridge’s and Brooke’s wedding night through a two way mirror. Ridge believed that Taylor had been killed in a plane rash but she was actually kidnapped and placed in a harem while also suffering amnesia. True B& B fans might wish to read Hunter Tylo’s autobiography. Apparently she was possessed by the devil once.
Second best episode: 60 year old Sally wishes to conceive a baby with Taylor’s Dad. Sally rings her gynaecologist to find out if she is still fertile. The Gyno fetches Sally’s X Ray and tells her that she has one egg left – and after tonight the egg will have left her system. So it’s now or never. Sally then spends the episode trying on flimsy, seductive nighties.
Great list, it’s a shame they couldn’t have shown in this order, with the ones they did show, slotted in. It would have added so much context. (Like Brooke and Ridges first wedding, whilst Taylor was held by Prince Omar). I would have added the birth of Bridget and Hope, both in the big bear cabin, one with only Ridge to assist, the other with only Stefanie. I don’t know if ten have shown them.
Great list, my top 50 eps would be “Brooke marries – (insert name here).”
Amazing research, but Cahal left out the episode in which Sally Spectra gives birth to CJ
Alfred Hitchcock taught Darlene Conley how to act with “the eyes” and those eyes start spinning in her head when she goes into labor lol
