OLTL is definitely a force to be reckoned with in ratings department.

I liked Cindy confronting Bobby for a short second. It was a very real conflict. But it seems it has been sorted out in 2 min. Shame. I hope Cindy is only pretending to have forgiven Bobby. It's quite a natural conflict between all the Beales that should remain. It is funny that they spend more time with Cindy finding a business investor than dealing with her daughter's killer who is her current husband's/boyfriend's son.

Definitely don't believe Cindy has forgiven Bobby. You'll see soon she still treats him like dirt, so the resentment is still there bubbling under the surface.

FINALLY! Lauren Branning will return FULL TIME!

im so hyped!

Someone pointed out on DS whether Lauren this time will simply be an extension of the Beale family, or if they will focus on her Branning roots. With the way the writing is these days, I'm leaning towards more of an extension of the Beale drama.

. I miss Fatboy!! Is Kim still around?. 

Kim is still around they had just wrapped up her PTSD storyline from when she crashed her car in the square. I think it was wrapped up before the start of August. 
 

All I can say is is there is a nice treat for fans of Fatboy towards the end of August.

I was just about to come here and ask if there is any point to tune in Emmerdale or EastEnders maybe (after years of not watching), but I have no desire to watch David leave and Jacob and Victoria hooking up.. 

Emmerdale no. Eastenders, depends on who you ask. I'm enjoying it personally. 

GL:

Garden of Eden Murders once it was revealed that Ben was a serial killer, and Marty West's Shayne got with Marina.  I was already half there with Alex being turned into a drugging, gaslighting, stalking, mustache twirling villain, that just sealed the deal for me. Thank you ConWest. 

GL slowly sinking to where it will be in the ratings for the remainder of it's run. 

Wow what a shock. I feel so sad for his family and friends. Totally unexpected. 

One show's loss(B&B), is another show's gain! Welcome back Rena!

Looking back, I've underestimated what a phenomenon AMC was back in the 80s. I'd say it's more consistent ratings wise compared to any other soap on ABC at the time, that includes GH. 

She's aged quite nicely!

Guiding Light; some of my earliest memories of this show will be the Springfield black out and David Grant going on the run. Such a exceptional time period for the show, felt like I could relate to so many characters on the canvas at the time. 

DAYS: First Carly buried alive, and second it was the possession storyline/Sami's schemes that sealed the deal. 

OLTL: Didn't become a permanent fan until Tomlin/Whitesell/Broderick, with the reveal that Natalie and Jess were twins, Al/Jenn scheming, and the LIVE show. Some of it were gimmicks, but it drew me in, and the stories had a bit of heart to them.

That’s why they didn’t win a thing this year lol

wasnt Aaron raped too in like 2015-16-ish? 

It was revealed that his father had raped him as a child. 

Congrats to EastEnders on taking a sweep of the NTAs, including Best Serial Drama. 

So that's Rhona, Victoria, and now Lydia in a short time period. 

Found the first two too disturbing to watch, yeah not even going to bother with this recent rehash. The show needs a change, and FAST. 

Total embarrassment of riches not getting DA to return to DAYS, and instead going to AW.

Looks like General Hospital's loss was Guiding Light's gain in the spring of '84.

The show was so good at that time...look at all the characters interacting...whomever screwed everything up in the Fall of 85 should have been fired.

Giving Jeff Ryder more of a say in the direction of stories, was a big mistake. If they couldn't find anyone to share the HW duties with Pam Long, they should've let her be solo IMO.

am I the only one liking Anna? She is so likeable compared to Gina.

I actually do like Anna, and I think Molly isn't as bad as she could be. Her character is a bright spot on the canvas too.

Gina, I'm always torn. The actress was strong in her scenes with Cindy, but I don't think she does subtlety very well, especially where her character is spiraling out of control at Peggy's. 

The sooner whatshisface stuff stops airing the better, because this just reeks of him.  [redacted former co-executive producer]

GL and Y&R tied for second nice. 

Why bring on Blair as played by KDP, when you have both RH and ME playing different characters SMH. Even more confusing with RH playing Austin....

As much as I detest Chloe, it's so lame how British soaps(Corrie, Emmerdale, heck even EE)  love doing stories where the parent of a child dies, and the child gets taken care of by the couple TPTB want us to root for. 

Nice bump for GL.
