All My Shadows

Liz coming back makes me happy.

Fatboy is still on the show? Damn. I remember when he was one of the most-loathed characters until Ricky Norwood stepped it up and proved to be a fun asset. It just sucks because they keep writing all of his friends, family, and love interests out, so he's always just there.

Is it on Netflix Instant? Whenever I search for it, it just shows the DVDs.

As always, YEP! Also as always, I suggest the early 60s, early 70s, and early 90s.

I feel that prayer was directed toward Oprah.

You didn't rely solely on the show, then. Anybody who watches the new AMC/OLTL can just as well go to wikipedia or SoapCentral or any of the other dozens of sites devoted to those sites to get character information.

Fabulous 70s ATWT!! I'm amazed at how darkly lit the show is at this point (in most clips I've seen of this era, and the episode from the DVD set). Just a few years earlier, we have that very brief scene with Kim and Jennifer, and it's lit up like The Price is Right. Also, the music at the very beginning. That's the orchestral version of the Hughes family theme, isn't it? The organ version is featured in many of the black-and-white eps online.

I mentioned Estelle in another thread, and so I randomly googled "Kate Dezina," and it was the very first picture to come up. The website it comes from seems to be some kind of French culture blog. From what I'm finding, she is the artistic director of some kind of theater venue or something. Pretty sure it's her now.

I'm not 100% sure, but this looks like a somewhat recent picture of AMC's Kathleen Dezina (ex-Estelle).

Obsessed with this kid and his music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsRGHRT_6Is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi5mnmTCDFg

Matt Lanter is EVERYTHING.

I haven't the time for this fan fiction, all-text web soap circa 2003 nonsense. Bo Duke and Tika are the only good things about that promo.

I'm with YRBB. I've always liked Michelle and the character of Tina, but as always, the heart of the character was always lost in bad storylines and failed pairings. I will never ever understand the logic behind putting her with that piece of horsesh!t Graeme.

That's a gorgeous set, but I wish they'd use a better picture of Blake from the earlier seasons. He looks so puffy there!! Also, I'm just gonna be sitting here saying that the best Dynasty was the busy, campy, hilarious, fun Dynasty of S3-S5. Miss me with the understated nonsense. When I watch Dynasty, I want DYNASTY.

The Grimshaws are definitely one of the show's brightest spots in the last ten years. Though I hated what they did with Todd's brief return a few years ago, I want him back so so so much. I think they might be the last "classic" family introduced on the show, meaning that they had/have that true Corrie spirit about them, when written well.

The photo shopping in that pic is ridiculous!! I think this is my first time seeing the full thing. I've only ever seen the part with the teens at the bottom.

I need to catch up on everything since Cam's suicide, but this is just fuckin dumb. Tristan had a mini heart attack trying to lose weight to impress Fab, Fab showed him that he isn't shallow and that he would be willing to try something out with him, and Tristan dumps him because he ISN'T SHALLOW ENOUGH? Dafuq!! Tristan needs to realize that chances are slim that he'll find a fit guy who's into fashion and his chunky ass. Yes, I'm bitter, because Fabs are few and far between in real life!

I'll watch for the cast, but I'm not expecting much from Emmitt.

The Doctors is one of those long-gone soaps that I've always held up high on my list of "soaps to see." Thankfully, I've seen a handful of episodes, but I hope there's still plenty more out there for us to see, especially from the first 10 or so years. Happy anniversary, old girl.

I have no trouble at all believing that everything she says is true. Hazel was constantly on the sidelines and even though she was a great presence as a sidekick-type character, there's no reason why she shouldn't have commanded more of the action. I wouldn't necessarily say the other black characters were given stereotypical stories, though. Liberty's pregnancy was the only "negative" aspect of her or Jimmy's characters, and Jimmy was definitely written as the all-American (all-Canadian?? lol) dream boy jock that all the girls loved and all the boys envied. I'd say DTNG did well with race, but they could have done better, of course. Toby rarely had his own storylines, either, especially after they grew up a bit.

This woman lights my heart and soul!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXFQF6OqT48

It's not that I think Corrie sold out or that I watched it when it was "cool." It's just that I like the 70s stuff better, and I wish the current episodes were more like the show's first 30 years. It's nice that you like the current storylines, though. I watched an ep a few months ago and enjoyed it, but I've been too busy to keep up with it. I do suggest watching some of the older episodes that we're so lucky to have easy access to, though. There are tons on YouTube.

Jesse! He enchanted my little 11-year-old heart on that summer's day 12 years ago, and I wouldn't be here without him
