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.

Knots Landing

I agree. Especially because it happened so damn quickly, with absolutely no breathing room for him, for Cathy, for all of us.
David Jacobs insisted that was the plan all along, but I doubt it. I think they had every intention of keeping Joshua around for years to come, but Michael Filerman and his ego ruined everything.
I'd still love for someone who was there to explain to us what the original intention was for Empire Valley; was it ALWAYS meant to be revealed as an underground spy network? Because, even if that wasn't how it started, it still feels as if they were leading up to something big. Otherwise, why invest so much time in another real estate development scheme? We'd already been there and done that with Lotus Point.

DAYS: December 2025 Discussion Thread

I feel like Days was always going to run into this problem regardless of writing. Days has done a horrible job establishing the next generation of leads. It has relied on Marlena, John, Bo, Hope, Kayla, Steve, etc., etc. for far too long. We end up at this point where most of the characters that get significant airtime are boring.
It seems to me the writing team is just too afraid to entirely revamp the show and are doing the bare minimum and coasting along with mediocre material. Because at least it's not as bad and offensive as Ron, right? Let's not rock the boat too much.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

OMG I agree! I can't put my finger on it but there's something morbid about it. Same thing for gambling.
Big agree.
Honestly it's been campy from the get-go. If one enjoys it, they should make peace with the fact it's pure camp.
Kat's hat was giving Lindsey McKeon's Marah (GL) vibes when SATC's stylist Patricia Field joined the show.

Madison is such an underdeveloped character - she can be a genius doctor and then a teenager - and the whole relationship with Chelsea is treated as an afterthought. This show has too many characters and too few (talented) writers.
Extra comments:
Greg Vaughn is a pro and a stud, however I don't see where the story is with him and Nicole. There's no stakes, no tension. Mark my words: they will tease a big secret with Kial in the next few months, that's all they can do story-wise.
Speaking of love stories: how grand can these love stories be if the most exciting thing these couples can do is bounce between cafes and book a hotel room? If I see that hotel room one more time, I'll scream. They have a huge problem with sets.
I have liked Vanessa so far but I don't understand what they want to do with her.
While WF was a bust, I'm enjoying the new writing and I'm loving the direction lately. They're experimenting a lot - and succeeding.
Loving Leslie & Marcel.
I literally have no idea what's next for Ashley and Derek. Not that I'm worried at all, but they've been written into a corner. They were isolated before, they're even more isolated now.
I don't see any chemistry between Shanice & Ted. In fact, I don't see any chemistry between Keith's Ted and ANYONE.

I didn't remember her still being in Salem as late as 1979. But I agree, I thought she was absolutely gorgeous.

If you can ever visit the Paley Center for TV in NYC, they have a number of 1976 Days eps available in the viewing library, including Amanda during her cancer story

Yeah.
Amanda got pregnant, and (I think) she wasn’t sure if Chris or Greg was the father. But the pregnancy turned out to be ectopic and she had to terminate it. And it sounds like, after that, she decided to just make a go of her marriage to Greg and left Salem with him.
Which was too bad because from what I’ve read, Greg sounds like a real douche 😂😂😂
I wish more of this time period was available to see

Excellent posts @cody_1990 !
There have been a lot of boring couples lately. And a little too much Dimera. I think that all the ingredients are there for a good show, but Paula/Jeanne just need to use them more effectively. And yeah, a few characters do need to be sent packing lol
I’m surprised that they haven’t actually gone over budget, with the amount of characters we’ve seen on screen lately lol
Not yet. This isn’t Ron Carlivati’s show anymore 😂😂😂😂
As for techniques, maybe playing a character as smug or arrogant was one of them.

Have we seen Theo's abs? Otherwise, I'm not sure what acting "technique" they're talking about here... drink less water if shirtless scenes?

What are you currently reading?

Ripley Under Ground unraveled in the last one third. Absolute mess. I enjoyed the first 200 pages, but then it absolutely went off the rails. I can't give it more 5/10 for this reason. Shame.
I will still try the third book in this series.
