Off Topic Lounge

If it's not about soaps that doesn't mean we can't talk about it. Politics? Religion? Sports? Have at it... just play it nice and clean as much as possible. After all, this isn't an MMA or UFC match.

GH: February 2026 Spoilers

i have a update on the lucky mess drop in the il its true there were talks to get JJ back but he he don't want to come back long term from what i understand and Frank decided not to recast so that's when frank decide to test Dante and Liz sense km is not coming back . the og drop was thisThe one other thing I will say about the Lucky mess is there has been recent discussion about either recasting or approaching JJ again.

Several parties are in favor of either option if necessary. FV is not in favor of either. Today he has more power to say no again.

GH: February 2026 Discussion Thread

Idk about Dante and Liz either.
I'll have to pay closer attention to their scenes now to see if there's any chemistry between them, if that's where they're gonna go with them.

DAYS: February 2026 Discussion Thread

Today was a slow one. And full of characters that nobody likes.
And yeah, I gotta say it again... #PoorPeter
I mean, he looked good today but this s*it is just ridiculous. It's really sad to see him be wasted once again. And Leo just needs to die. He's still the same disgusting POS he always has been. It's almost like Ron is still writing.
I did kind of feel bad for Holly, even though I'm not a fan of her storyline either. But I am interested in seeing what this could all lead to, especially since Tate now knows that the frat girls think he's hot lol both he and Holly could really use a good alternative to each other, for a little while anyway. And I think that something like that happening could be a better storyline for the two of them than this.
Sophia needs to be killed off as well.
I'm also interested in seeing what happens now that Sarah knows about Xander and Gwen. I didn't expect her to become so thirsty for Brady all of a sudden lol but I guess it makes sense since I'm sure she still loves Xander and was only doing that to cope with the heartbreak.

Considering Abandoning Threads

If it's just for the current soaps... I think that could be an interesting idea. While keeping a General Discussion topic for the soap in question still available for people who want to talk "in general". That general topic can without a problem still be in the X-nameofsoap's individual section. But each soap having their section is just going to work... IMO. Lots of material... pictures, any type of interesting things can go in different topics and not get lost in the main topic.
I'm supportive of the idea for the main active soaps having an individual forum section each, if I understood correctly. 💪

Considering Abandoning Threads

I'm looking for feedback from posters on the idea of abandoning threads as a requirement for discussions. Meaning, instead of being boxed into a specific thread to discuss any particular thing about each soap opera, including episodes of the soaps and spoilers, even going so far as creating a forum for each current soap opera where fans can discuss anything they want about the show.
This is about growing the community and encouraging more discussions, which have been stifled by boxing conversations into the bubble of a single thread, where topics are forced to fit. This is not about expanding discussions about individual episodes. This is about giving people the freedom to say what they want without being limited to a single thread.
Let me know your thoughts.

ALL: The First Year of a Soap - Growing Pains, Teething Issues, etc...

In its first 7 months, Santa Barbara fired its leading man, Dane Witherspoon; fired its leading female, Ava Lazar; dropped 2 of its original 4 families; recast the patriarch of the one family that lasted, the Capwells, 3 times; recast the Capwell matriarch twice; tried rebooting with an earthquake; then tried rebooting with a serial killer storyline. The show ended up being about a handful of long-term characters, all connected to the same family. It was a rocky start from which they never really recovered.

GH: February 2026 Discussion Thread

I don't think they're actually going there. I think it's probably a one-off scene or two. You'll see a handful of people on Twitter begging for them to make this boring couple happen. But I don't think it will.
I think they have no idea what they're doing with Dante, other than they don't want to put him back with Lulu for whatever reason. And I think a big part of that is the show just does not want to deal with their being a popular preexisting couple or having to showcase either of them vs. other priorities. I don't think either actor is preventing it.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread

Such lush visuals. And when they went to Peapack everything looked drab and shabby.
But it summed up GL at the time -all style and no substance. A bunch of characters with little history on the show, most of whom would be gone and forgotten.
They obviously spent a lot on that wedding and I don't think the ratings showed any uptick.
Kurt was dead later that year.

Another World Discussion Thread

Totally agree -- Lemay's Another World from 1971-1974 was so good because he was working with what Irma Phillips and Agnes Nixon had set up. When he started doing his own thing, it wasn't as rich or as appealing, especially not in the long run.

The death of Agnes Nixon's Another World started with the spin-off Somerset. Many of the interesting characters went to that show, pretty much never to return. The final blow was 1975 with Another World expanding to an hour, and Raunch and Lemay being allowed to change the show however they saw fit. Their new vision worked for a few years, but by 1979 the show was pretty much a hollow shell of itself. The end result was 20 years of mediocrity, where the only history the show had to pull from was some of the Lemay stuff from the 70s. Agnes Nixon's AW was forgotten. Whatever few characters were still around from the Agnes Nixon years, such as Aunt Liz and Rachel, it was only Lemay's version of them that we got.
