sort of OT: Questions about original plots of B&B& other details


How old were Bill Senior, Eric, Stephanie, and Ridge, Thorne, Caroline?
Was there any Bill Jr ($Bill)in that world and was Bill, Senior a publisher?
How had his wife died? Was there any reason that at least at times used a cain or was it a walking stick?

The Spencer Family.

Ah so the character who Don Diamont is playing is the son of Jim Storm's character?

I didn't even know that.

I watched a little back then when Lauren Koslow played Margo and of course knew Jim Storm from both Dark Shadows and Y&R

I have to admit to times I've wished B&B would hire LK back as Margo which is why I think Days has always kept a tight reign on her contract-wise knowing BB just might swoop her back up.

Thank you but if you watch the first season youtube. Bill Jr was just added in 2009 and much like Liam Karen Wyatt were later.
Was Ridge 25 or 30 as written in 1987he was already a known playboy? How close in age were Ridge and Thorne as written in 1987?

reply

Ridge was in his mid-late 20's as I recall (at that point, he was Eric's son) with Thorne a few years younger.

reply

Ridge's paternity is a rewrite because they wanted to put Bridget and Ridge together. Still one of the worst stories. I know that if William Bell were still alive, there would be no switch.

reply

I was watching B&Bin 2001. So at that was Caroline (I) an only child of William Spencer? Was Eric in his 40s or early 50s then? Were William a Eric about the age?

reply

Caroline had a lookalike sister Karen. I don't remember Bill (their half-brother) being mentioned then. And yes, Eric would've been in his late 50's.

reply

Originally Caroline was an only child. Then they wanted to bring back the actress, so they made up that Caroline had a twin. Bill is also a made up child that we didn't hear about until he appeared.
