Days of Our Lives: November 2021 Discussion Thread
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.

All: Characters you thought would come back but never did
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.

Characters you were surprised to see again
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.

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread
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.

Characters you were surprised to see again
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.

DAYS: Promo from Day of Days 2021
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

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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL November 2021 Discussion Thread
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.

GH: Rumors regarding the vaccine mandate
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...

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

ALL: Characters you are surprised lasted so long
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.

Chemistry Magnets on Each Soaps?
I recall for GL, when she first arrived, Crystal Chappell had chemistry with everybody.

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

Grade the Soaps
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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL November 2021 Discussion Thread
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.

All : Storyline risks that didn't pay off.
To add insult to injury, we lost the original Newman ranch set to such a horrendous storyline.

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

All : Storyline risks that didn't pay off.
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.
