    by DRW50

    I know a lot of this is already out there, but since I was mostly posting old articles in the cancelled soaps section I thought I might start posting some stuff on the current soaps here, just under different threads for each soap. If you're interested in this, let me know, and I'll post more, or someone who has a lot of good stuff can post more. This is from the July 1976 Afternoon TV Stars. Lorelei Publishing Inc

    Y&R's Doug Davidson v. Nelson Branco?!!

    by NothinButAttitude

    So I am waking up to see these tweets on my timeline and I don't even know what initiated them but... Does anyone have context to this because I am confused. Is there a longstanding feud between the 2?

    Most Unnecessary Miscarriages 1 2

    by soapfan770

    So many times miscarriage stories are a simple plot device for sheer shock value but are often detrimental to show. Of course a lot of miscarriages are the end result of a scandalous affair that shouldn’t have happened but sometimes get thrown in for no real reason. Here’s a few miscarriages I felt were completely unnecessary/overkill: AW: Josie’s 1997 one ATWT: Anytime Allison got pregnant GL: Ed & Maureen Y&R: Ryan & Nina, Paul & Christine I’m quite sure I can think of some more, any others?

    Old/Classic B&B discussion&articles 1 2 3 4 223

    by soapfan770

    Um, so we have that ever lengthy thread on classic Y&R articles and discussion, I was wondering if we could do one for B&B? I mean the whole show is a hot mess and has been well at least since 2007/2008 and unwatchable but I'd like to think back to when I loved the show 1991ish-2006. A lot of stories liked and/or remember well have now been long forgotten like Ivana's murder and the mystery around it, Macy vs. Karen, Connor(someone mentioned him recently!) Dylan and Michael, CJ/Becky, Sly, Grant. Hell Macy was my favorite character right after Sally of course.

    Anybody Ever Write their own Soap? 1 2 3 4 6

    by AbcNbc247

    Many times we, the SON Community have watched episodes of our favorite soaps, criticized the writing and often said to ourselves, "I (We) can write better than that." So it led me to think, has anyone ever tried to write their own soap opera? I started writing my own soap when I was 10. Admittedly, it was crap but I like to think that it got better as I got older. Though I borrowed heavily from Days of our Lives and Passions, which were my two favorite soaps at the time, what actually inspired me to write my own soap was a movie called "Delirious" Starring John Candy, Mariel Hemingway and Emma Samms, in which John Candy plays a soap writer who has a dream tha…

    Classic GH Thread 1 2 3 4 186

    by Max

    Although I feel bad for having almost nothing to offer, I realized that GH was the only "current" soap (until now) that does not have a thread that can be used for discussing classic storylines, posting articles, etc. While never a personal favorite of mine, I do consider GH to be the second-most important soap in the genre's history (with ATWT ranking as the most important soap), given the fact that it was largely responsible for shifting the genre's direction away from the "traditional"/P&G method of storytelling to campy plots that were written in an attempt to capture the popularity of young America. (To be fair, Y&R was the first soap designed to blatantly ap…

    Racism and racial representation on soaps 1 2 3 4 48

    by Faulkner

    Like a lot of Western culture, soaps have often had problematic relationships with race and depictions of people of color. We’ve spoken about this many times in different contexts on different soaps over the years, but what are the moments that leap to mind as particularly egregious? We talked a bit about Mamie as “mammy” in the classic Y&R thread. Recasting biracial Asian-American Mia Korf with white, Kentucky-born Kassie Wesley (later DePaiva) as Blair on OLTL, essentially erasing a key part of her history, ranks up there for me.

    ALL SOAPS: GRADE MAY SWEEPS 2021

    by Taoboi

    Well, it's that time again!!! How would you grade Y&R, DAYS, B&B, and GH for May Sweeps this year? A B C D F SHADY GRADE/GIF? I feel like GH is cuising toward a C...and that could change. (An aside...I never gave GH a February Sweeps grade which was a B for me. Originally the first week of March was the end of February, but well a censored name here had a trial. I felt GH built up the drama and the double wedding perfectly. Now the fallout... ). This month it has been enjoyable, but not as focused (so far) as February.

    I was thinking about the habit of daytime. A lot of people have noted that it is a habit, and once broken it is easy to not return. My first soap exposure was through a grandmother. I choose to pay attention and watch for my own entertainment when Frisco pulled the hat off Felicia, at the beginning of their relationship. I am a gay male, and I was attracted to the action storylines on GH and the strong women. I soon watched other soaps that had similar themes (OLTL, DAYS). I also turned for the men, which were usually attractive and often shirtless! As I got older, I started paying more attention to the deeper stories, to the wider scope of th…
