Ridge and Taylor's First Kiss-Tridge Restoration

Clip has Polish voiceover

Ridge drops by Dr. Hayes office for some counseling post Caroline's death . After months of counseling and connecting on a personal level, an unexpected kiss.

Clip Notes: This is the beginning of Bill Bell Sr.'s vision of Tridge and its part in a triangle. (See Notes below). The prominence of doors and windows is seen in Tridge scenes through the years. Ridge's entry through door is interesting at :22. He looks up at it as if knowing this is the beginning. The camera zooming on faces at 1:10 and 6:28 that fill entire screen for long seconds reveals the film crew appreciation of these two on screen. There is minimum dialogue from 6:11 for Ridge to maximize the visual display of his feelings. The door at end with sound detail completes the scene. Symbolism can be found in the early years. ( Left in portion of Brooke and Eric scene to inform part of other triangle's storyline)

Off Screen Facts: Bill Bell Sr's stamp on his soaps (per Brad Bell interview 1997) " is having the greatest moments be underwritten where words don't take over. It's in the looks, in the subtleties, the nuances. Trusting the actors and once they have chemistry to nurture it and let it carry the show." This clip has Bill Bell Sr. Stamp on it.
