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.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

This is exactly how you rehab a character coming out of a failed romance. Lean into her as a supporting character where she can shine and they need to go ahead and make Joey her father somehow. That way their fave still has a story but it isn't a romantic storyline. Like you suggested, they need to bring on a new character for her and start fresh. Andre and Derek are just not it. Even if Dani and Andre were to break up, the viewers don't want Ashley with him.
Her chemistry is scorching hot with Shanice and Naomi so lean into that for now.

Knots Landing

It's actually pretty sad that the Knots landscape is filled with businesses and locations that ended up slipping away, being let go of, or flaming out spectacularly. Knots Landing Motors. Daniel's. Westfork Ranch. Lotus Point. Pacific World Cable. Empire Valley. Hell, even Tidal Energy. It's like an extra-pointless game of Monopoly, with The Sumner Group as Park Place. Who knows, maybe the community pulled a Neighbours and in-universe, Seaview Circle itself has been torn down for road expansion.

DAYS: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Corday is. Always has been. Always runs roughshod over any writers or creatives who tried to seriously change the tone and style of the show (who I need not name as most weren't popular, but I did like several early attempts by two separate teams lol). And when Ken did try to make major earthshaking moves (the Salem Stalker, firing Dee and Drake unceremoniously) it was always the wrong ones.
I've watched a fair amount this year given the many memorial events, anniversaries, etc. I see a ton of raw potential in the show today. But like Brad Bell at B&B, it will never change without Corday stepping back.

Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

The more I listen to the last remix of the EON theme, the more it grows on me...the biggest downside is the really cheap graphics, especially the end with the car and then with Raven and Sky kissing in front of Chromakey.

-- The Christmas tree stuff with Alex and Stephanie was so bad.
I know it's all minor, but why can't they make something like this more realistic? They dragged a tree across Horton Town Square. What??? Then they get this 4' tree up and make a big deal that it's not straight.
The tree -- NEVER for a moment looking like a real tree -- then falls to the ground and both Alex and Stephanie act as if it's destroyed.
-- Johnny and Chanel live in a place that screams "We're really struggling financially and we hope the government doesn't cut our food stamps." At least Johnny's bubble butt looks good in those jeans.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

As The World Turns Discussion Thread

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).
