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.

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

Completely agree that the reason Lemay's Another World from 1971-1974 was so good was because he was working with what Irma Phillips and Agnes Nixon had set up. When he started doing his own thing on the show, 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 pretty much 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.

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

B&B was a mismash of various Y&R themes.
Stephanie did evoke Vanessa in some ways.
The Logans had elements of the Fosters -Storm/Snapper, the absent father, Brooke/Jill.
Katie Logan/Traci Abbott -the shy sister with a problem-weight issues/acne
Caroline's rape/Chris' rape.

GH: February 2026 Discussion Thread

If they pair Dante with Liz, it would be a sign that they've given up on his character, and that the next step will be recurring or him leaving the show. It's just the fate of anyone who gets involved with Liz.
Since Ric's already on recurring with no story, they should just pair Liz and Ric. If they gave them cute scenes three times a month or so, I'm sure everyone would be happy.

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

One of the problems with Bell's B&B re-use was casting and a rushed nature. Outside of Brooke, the Logans did not have the presence or interest of the early Fosters and Brooks. Immediately starting the show with a sexual assault storyline was a bit desperate. The strongest material was Stephanie and her mind games. You could say that was just Vanessa Prentiss and her sons Lance and Lucas all over again, but it didn't feel like a retread.

BTG: February 2026 Discussion Thread

I blame Susan Dansby (the script editor) for the slang/non-slang inconsistencies among the episodes.
A really good script editor would smooth that out ---trim some slang & pop culture references from Paige's scripts and drop a few more into the other writers' episodes so that it won't be so jarring when everyone magically changes voices from episode to episode.

That's very true. Just don't ask Liz to give any organ donations.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread

I still wonder if any wedding for a couple who had so little impact and a story that fell so flat has ever cost this much. Stunning visuals and gorgeous wardrobe in many cases. I often think of these clips whenever I think of a GL wedding (and the couple aren't even in many of them!), but I wish they could have used that cash for a better purpose.
The fun entrance for Louie also reminds me that a character who often seemed to be there for light relief got a depressing side exit. I guess at least he got an exit.

Now is it Paige that loves to do intimate one on one family scenes or is that Tate? Because I have liked some of those scenes, but I think I am getting my scriptwriters mixed up.

Really? re: Paige and references. Because Jazmin was the main scriptwriter of that and he's one of the best of the first year scriptwriters. He of the Teen Slang. And I still like him, but his scripts still stick out for that reason than most of the others.
