Members dragonflies Posted December 31, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yep exactly. They don't watch YR or cover it, and they're honest about it and shouldn't watch it just to critique it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 I agree with this as well. His character was been completely decimated this past year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 IDA. It should work that way. Why talk about stuff they don't watch? If we had done a Best/Worst on this forum, I really wouldn't have much to say about Y&R, bc I don't watch it myself. Its only honest and fair I thought that was a travesty. Im far from a Jason fan but the way they handled it was pretty much, Bye, No One Cares, Lets Move On. Like dang, who did he piss off What triangle? Jason and Sam spent most of the year apart and aside from one drunk kiss, nothing romantic was going on between she and John. More like Lame Triangle of the year. I cant believe anyone could consider this skeleton of a story the best as there was no heat or passion on either side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well, now that I know they don't claim to be journalists, I agree with you. They don't have to be objective. See, that was easy, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 I stopped reading Serial Drama when they basically became a mash note to our saviors, but I'm glad to know they're still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well I agree with them about Days, and everyone else in the "soap press" are so protective of this show because of the "great" Wilson romance. I'm giving up on Days as of today along with Y&R. While I think the show is better in some respects, it's just predictable and boring and yeah that includes Kristen, who I think they are wasting on yet another weak story. And I love Greg Vaughn but this role is just flat. He was better and more enjoyable as Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think their list is very well-written, although it reminds me of the power of hype. I barely even saw Robin fans praise that exit, much less anyone else - the show didn't make an effort, and didn't someone at the show tell the press that they didn't make one because Robin wasn't dead? If so, then it deserves scorn. The John/Sam/Jason "triangle" was barely that - Burton quit early on and apparently audience reaction to John was cold enough that he began vanishing for lengthy periods of time. I don't think they mentioned Y&R at all, which is probably the right idea these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 There are some good choices here. I LOVED the Anna, Emma and T&B shoutouts! They just seem like sweet, fun ladies to me. Their reactions often crack me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 They're nice, and they are still very good writers, I just think it all became interchangeable fangirling and a lot of the humor and originality of the site went away, especially with less soaps on the air. Even now the stuff like the praise for Robin's funeral feels like a press release. I end up coming away with the idea that most soap blog and press talk about the divine Ron and Frank is some sort of groupthink, because it all just blurs into one. I don't see that as much on boards - even when fans on boards love what's happened to GH, I still hear individual voices. I don't with most of the soap sites anymore, sadly.
