The Cullitons are some of the most underrated writers in the biz. The Cullitons and Broderick deserve a medal for still being in soaps, where much of the old guard have retired or simply left due to unpleasant experiences. 

Guiding Light

Inidia and Alan-Michael. India never came back after the ex wives club sadly. Saddened such a complex character as A-M never returned, nor did his grandfather Mike Bauer. 

Rita Stapleton, especially that it may have been implied she was pregnant when she left town. 

Selena

Claire Ramsey

Harley Cooper and Ross Marler

Welp, it's time to bring AJ back.

Add in Roger and Holly in 1988/9. 

My mom knew once Blake was revealed as Christina that Holly would be returning (and she was excited when she appeared at the end of the 1988 Xmas episode).

Thats a good one too, no one saw either of those three returning in the 80s, especially considering how much the show had changed in a mere eight years.

Those 70's scenes are definitely a cut above the ATWT eps of that era.

Sets look classier and better lit.

Kim's apartment from that time on ATWT looks cheap and the lighting is stark. The women's makeup looks garish.

It looks like Love of Life also had better production values in the 70's.

Funny how you compare SFT to ATWT's production values, because if I'm correct, SFT's EP Mary Ellis Bunim leaves that show become producer of ATWT in the early 80s. 

Guiding Light 

Ed Bauer played by Peter Simon in 2002

Vanessa returning in 2002 for the anniversary episodes as well. 

Honestly 2002 had plenty of returns I was shocked at, including KT as Mindy. 

A deSORASED Susan 

Nola and Bridget Reardon for the last episode. 

Calling it now; Phillip fakes his death and pins it on Brady because he’s under the impression that Brady and Chloe slept together (even though those two were discussing Rafe and Nicole) Yawn, but good that we get some good scenes out of it from LK.

wooooohoo the bear is decapitated!!!

So again DAYS streaming series/film will be more interesting than the actual show airing on NBC. LOL

When Eileen returned to play Susan for Will’s return from the dead, she really spoiled me when it came to Susan. Yes she was playing Susan, but I felt like she humanized her as a mother who lost her son.

THIS. I can't believe this is the same Head Writer who wrote such humanizing scenes for Susan then.  She's a complete and total cartoon now, and barely interacts with said son she was distraught over losing years ago.

Remember when I said that Frank only interferes in the summertime and that October to March is usually pretty good. Unfortunately, it looks like I have to take that back lol

Chase DID NOT have to lie and say that he was the father of Baby Bailey. The two actors have enough chemistry so that, and that alone could be used to bring Chase and Brook Lynn together, not some fake charade. You would think after the fake affair mess from last year, the show would stay away from charades like that, but they just keep doing the same old thing.

Seriously. 
 

Why couldn’t Maxie had burst in and confess Bailey is her child, and then all three come to agreement to keep up the charade that Bailey is Valentin’s.

And WHY WAS MAXIE TAKING SO LONG, if she knew their secret was under threat of being uncovered. 
 

Dan and Chris build up a good storyline and then always let me down in the end. Sheesh.

I wouldn't mind seeing Britt developing a love/hate relationship with a new doctor who comes to GH and lacks any sort of bedside manner with his patients. Other than that, I've got nothing...

Not to jinx it more than it already is, but given how much of a sham this trial has appeared to be from the beginning I'm legit surprised the Rittenhouse jury is taking this long.

True, but I'm not getting my hopes up. 

 

GL: Frank Cooper. 

Honestly I would've traded him for Det. Cutter (RIP ) during Brent/Marion's reign of terror. 

Richard Winslow/Jefrrey abomination stayed on GL until the bitter end. 

I recall for GL, when she first arrived, Crystal Chappell had chemistry with everybody. 

Rest easy. I always made sure to catch her interaction with the Q's and Luke.

DAYS and GH: C+

Both shows have glaring problems, but overall I find each entertaining in their own way. 

B&B: D+

Y&R: F When you have me longing for the days of Mal Young, you've failed as a writer. JG is obsessed over writing about events that did not occur on screen, and not properly resolving stories. 

RIP 

The show just needs to pull the trigger with Joss; break her and Cam up, have her fall for her professor(much to Carlys disapproval), and become an unapologetic b!tch.

Lawd! This show realized what a massive mistake it was to kill off Denny, and have decided to give Sharon a retconned grandchild!

In light of today’s BTS drama over at GH, I couldn’t help but smile at this video of the DAYS cast. Even though I’m not that much of a fan of CB, the video still warms my heart. And a Leo sighting! DF looking so delish too. 

Buh-bye!!!!

That was just gross!!!

To add insult to injury, we lost the original Newman ranch set to such a horrendous storyline.

Just watched Wednesday's episode and all I can say is WTF?!

Nicole kills zombie Deimos, and Rafe finds a dead body in his kitchen, so naturally, they... have sex?! HUH?! If Rafe/Nicole actually had fans, I bet they'd be pissed! What a bizarre buildup to two people finally having sex. They really talked about Duke before they f-cked, too.

 

This is the same show where Gwen and Xander got turned on after joking about killing Julie. Good ole Ron!

GL: 
The killing off of Hillary Bauer and Bill Bauer! Short term gimmicks that did the exact opposite of what they were intended for. 

Once Nick's homophobia was dealt with; Nick/Gabi/WIll/Sonny would have been a fascinating parental unit for little Ari. But the show dashed all that potential, along with a few others, around that time.
