Happy with the prospect of a possible Daniel and Lily reunion; just know that eventually Josh will pull the rug out from fans like me who adored the pairing. 

DAYS was a let down this November Sweeps. GH though not perfect, and their storytelling choices leaves plenty to be desired, was somewhat entertaining.  B&B also a let down. Y&R I've been burned by this show so many times, I don't even pay attention to it, though Chelsea's attempt to take her own life and Amanda catching Devon and Abby were written surprisingly well. 

DAYS: D

GH: C-

B&B: F

Y&R D+

Victor's reign of terror is going to be dragged out as much as Peter and Cyrus's. BET. 

GL

Roger Thorpe

Alan-Michael/Ric Hearst

David/Monti Sharp

Gus (for a short period 2001-2002)

Jonathan/Tom Pelphrey

Joss and Dex will have sex before Trina and Spencer hold hands.

I know it. 

Were Brenda/Sonny the first time they used this troupe of wounded gangster being taken care of his eventual love interest? Sigh. Maybe if they hadn't taken this route, and played them naturally like they were before (Joss and Dex butting heads, the whole scene of her looking in the garbage for Donna's neckless seemed less forced) it wouldn't feel like the writers weren't throwing everything including the kitchen sink to prop these two. 

I can't help but to get flashbacks of the Ford brothers on OLTL when I see Dex on our screen. A new pet for Frank to prop, and sacrifice other characters for.

-- Now Esme wants to start thinking like her dad. Sorry, but that doesn't mean this actress is capable of playing unginged and dangerous. Mean girl, OK, but this is no super villain.

 

The show is trying to make Esme into Nelle 2.0. Nelle wasn't even a character deserving of a clone. It just reads as plot driven and desperate, with no idea as to what direction they want to take Trina/Spencer or Esme.

Oh my goodness, this is so sad. Such a legend. My heart goes out to his family and the DAYS cast. Really one of the greats. 

50 cent is indeed an odd choice. I'm kind of intrigued as to whether it'll be a trainwreck or not. 

Going into this election day, I'm going to be pessimistic. As much as I want to hope for the best,  it would not surprise in the least that America puts having lower gas prices over a woman's bodily autonomy. 

It hot until I turned the volume up. Who does the background music for this show.

This lie that Diane told is so stupid along with everyone else's reactions to the lie. 

It's just Josh trying to make his stories more interesting than they really are. He's done this repeatedly.  Remember Sally getting Summer a job? The SCANDAL! 

A MESS. 

Thats what this storyline is. All to prop up ME as Finn and pacify Liz fans.

The time to bring her back was in 2013 when Nick was unravelling. I really wish they'd spun Nick's shooting into a longer term whodunnit, and NOT killed him off in the process (ultimately have Gabi still be the shooter, but set Will, Sonny, Sami, and others as viable suspects). Having Jessica back around this time to help with Nick's recovery and have her and Hope mix it up during the investigation would have helped re-establish her. Have her at odds with Will and Sonny, with Jessica particularly hostile toward Will as he's not only the b*stard of a b*stard, but also gay? It would help explain Nick's homophobia a little better than prison rape, imo.

 

Plus, I'd have a recast Josh Fallon come on, still married to Jessica, but with them on the outs thanks to her prissy, uptight, neurotic nature that's manifested itself in smothering Nick, partly why Nick left for Salem - to get away from his mother. I'd have someone like Robert Parucha come on as Josh, and have him eventually start an affair with Hope after Jessica's antics push Joshua far enough away (let's face it, it was never really gonna work with Aiden).

 

Buuuut that time is long past.

Loveeeee this. That entire time period from 2012-2013 was good, but could've been better. Your ideas really tap into one of those missed opportunities.

 I will also say the Harley/Cyrus relationship on GL, which was the last pit stop for an increasingly degraded, hollow Harley. The only entertainment value was the insane rumors surrounding the actors at the time.

So much of those final years for both ATWT and GL had some of the most preposterous affairs. 

Looking back, Guiding Light had a few well written ones...

Ed/Rita/Alan/Hope

Holly/Ross/Blake

Mindy/Roger/Alexandra 

...and also a few not so well written ones

Blake and Rick which resulted in the twins

Rick and Beth while Rick was married to Mel. 

ETA: So-so 

Beth and Phillip sleeping together after their plane crash/avalanche. Looking back it wasn't so bad, the subsequent blackmail, tying to Lizzie's cancer, the story had ripple effects for a good 2-3 years, even playing out at the Bauer BBQ when Phillip found out Rick and Harley slept together which produced Jude. 

Oh wow, I hadn't thought about the writers strike. I wondered why a few of the recently episodes were recapping(using flashbacks) stuff that had already been revealed.

I'm enthralled with these recent uploads from the Nancy kidnapping storyline. Honestly other than a non-US soap that I frequently watch, these EDGE uploads are the only US soap I'm watching these days.

Now why does Sloan get an apartment?

Why do I sense it may be a redressed version of Lani and Eli's place?

Long overdue. I'm sure Brad will find some way to mess it up. 

To be honest I'm kind of numb to it at the moment. No doubt it'll settle in for me once he allows TFG back on there, in which it's back to Facebook for me. 

My first memory of Sheila, is from B&B where she held the Forresters hostage in their mansion. It was must see tv, and made me get hooked on B&B.

Shudders the thought of him having other projects. He's a terrible actor.

I think he'd be the perfect fit for Sean Cody or Men.com to be honest. 

^I figured. The article makes it sound so dramatic.
