It is easy to resurrect A.J. again. Sadly SK is not currently available.

I agree. Though I suspect the parents/kids will be in his face about it soon enough, judging by the more even-handed writing lately. Sam, Jake, etc. certainly haven't been shy about lighting him up for the last couple weeks.

I always liked Billy Warlock more. Was he accepted?

Is there any logical way for AJ to be alive?

why is victor so polite? didn't eve try to kill him and Nikki a decade ago? what is this stupid retcon? 

Not at all is it stupid. It's not a retcon. Firstly, listen to the music; it's communicating tension. Second, as you said, it was a decade ago. The emotions have subsided. If she came back and Victor was an ass and dismissive or threw her out that would have been impulsive even for him. Had this been a 6 weeks after she tried to kill him and Nikki? Then, yes, that wouldn't make sense. There is a guy who fucked me and my fiance over 5 years ago (framed  him of a crime and he went to jail for it but was exonerated but we went homeless as a result). Had I ran into him even a few months after the fact? I would have killed him. 5 years later? Well, no; I haven't forgave him but my emotions have subsided. I would be cautious. Civil, but on alert.

Is Nina going insane?

I haven't watched regularly in over a decade, before March. But I pretty much love Sonny and Jason. I love anti-heros. But yes, I am looking forward for more checks and balances.

Alex has been Anna's twin since she first appeared in 1999.

It still amazes me that they didn't have her a character with no ties to GH or another soap. But I think that is when the whole synergie thing happened

I hope Sonny is locked away in a sanitarium. There, he becomes in a love triangle between Heather Webber and Janet Dillon.

(Or he's killed by both?)

AMC needed a shot in the arm at the time and Finola was a star; they promoted her coming on big time. They were also trying to exit Michael Nader over money and used his 'death' to bring Alex on as his supposed widow. Instead MN and Finola's flashback romance scenes were hot as hell and her intro story with Edmund flopped, so they rehired Nader and put them back together then tried to fob Edmund off on undead Anna Devane. It was a big surprise when we discovered the mystery person Alex was visiting was Anna, who had been 'dead' since '92. Come to find out Anna fit into the show like a glove whereas Alex was boring, but Edmund and Anna still didn't work so they were split and she got put with David.

How Alex became evil on GH has never been explained, but seeing as she had an incredibly convoluted and stupid backstory on AMC involving evil spies and brainwashing (and British thespian Samantha Eggar as her fake mom) it is not a stretch to think that Alex simply reverted to old form.

Was it already established Alexa was Anna's sister? Or was that a retcon?

Not sure where to post this question.

Why did they bring in Alex Devane to AMC and not GH?

This is (was) the site you're referring to: http://www.feuxdelamour.com/v4/index.php?title=La_musique_de_fond

It's empty now, but I played around with the wayback machine and found some older versions with a list of cues, but the music cues don't play. I'm posting it because maybe somebody else can figure it out and share here.

 

Also, there are quite a few Y&R music cues in the Y&R Vault (link in the description: https://twitter.com/yrvault?lang=en

You might be able to cross-reference those against that website. As far as that specific cue, I don't think it's on any of the official CDs so most likely only TV rips would be available and that might be the best you can get.

 

Another option is to ask this guy: https://twitter.com/YnRMusicMike/

 

Yup! That's the site!

Ron is so petty.  He worked with, and for, many fi-core writers. 

No doubt that two Days staff fi core writers, Fran and Jean, were in integral part of the strike writing team to keep the show going and it wasn't as horrible as his tenure has been.  And he has no say in Jeanne or Fran's employment because as long as Ken's in charge he's going to keep them and/or others he can rely on during strikes. Ron destroyed the show by the end of his second year with his pre pubescent Scooby Doo Saturday cartoon mentality coupled with Fire Island drag queen hour (think bonnie / hattie).  Not to mention the nonsensical flash forward to retool his own terrible stories. He makes Dena's two tenures look like Agnes Nixon quality.

 

Are they still saying on the show that it's 1 year later (Like, that it's 2025).

According to Jason 47, Days is filmed up to the episode that airs November 11, 2024

8 months!

I'm trying really hard to find a better copy of this. Also, a long time ago there was a french website that detailed all the Young and REstless music ques. With audio saved in the site.

I'm trying to find various episodes from the last few years. Like Luke's last scene. Where the hell can I find them?

Thank you. And damn, he's such a DILF now.

I really wish I had more time to go crazy and speculate a million things about this new soap, but once summer is here, I expect to be obsessed.

Some random thoughts I've had...

- I love the fact that it's rumored to be replacing THE TALK. Get that outta here! Nothing would be sweeter than to see this new soap avenge the death of one of the old guard. Even if the random talk show survives this, I like the conversation centering around it being easily expendable in favor of a new soap.

- I hate "The Gates" as a title. If it's titled after a family, then I hate it EVEN MORE because unless their last name is just "Gate," the title should be "The Gateses," which sounds clunky. If it's a reference to a gated community, I still dislike it, and then I also dislike the premise of it being set in a gated community because no daily hour-long American daytime soap needs to be set in one neighborhood. For all of that, go UK and give us 3-4 half-hour eps a week.

- I know I'm alone in this and it's not gonna happen (and really shouldn't because this is 2024 and we are in modern times and not everything needs to have the grandmaw aesthetic as much as I wish it did), but give me a good old-fashioned syrupy soap title. "Behind Hidden Gates." "Through the Gates Unlocked." "

 

I'm pretty much with you on all of this. That said, the press release was just released and I'm sure that the title, if anything, will be replaced. It's probably just a working title. I'm also certain that there will be more than one location/neighborhood. I'm imagining that the area in reference to the current title will be positioned as like the castle on a hill overlooking the 'little people'. The rich area, though the main area, is the area everyone else aspires to be in (either physically there or at the same social-economic level). If anything, the prime family will probably have extended family that's poor. Like, the brother of the rich patriarch will be poor. Ala "Rich Man; Poor Man".

RUMORED: Steve Burton refused to play Jason Getting his Q Memories back and intergrating them into his life as Jason Morgan. If True, he can kiss my butt. Actors should never get to say no to story. If you dont wanna play, then dont come back. Plain & Simple

No exit. Just stopped appearing. In fact werent her and AJ still a couple?

Was that a recent rumor?

RonC says upfront not to take the show seriously. 

Scab writers are saying & doing everything seriously. 

Scab writers are hitting more dramatic beats, every day, with just about every character.

There's not nearly as much of this thing where it seems to be different times of day in Salem. 

Pace is better. Balance is somewhat better but still off. 

Dialog is about 80% better.

Showing the relationships between people is at least 110% better. 

Now, the show was even better than this when Ari/Nicole was carrying the show dramatically every day. 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. @AbcNbc247  do you have anything to add? 

Thanks!

Maybe to clarify ...

Albert Alarr did what some EPs do some of the time & that was to abuse their power & become de facto HWs. His doing so had zero to do with the strike. He was already doing it before the strike. Since he wasn't a writer he did not go out on strike & going by things where it's known if he did them, we know that he kept on doing so at least some during the strike.

But, also, scab writers definitely wrote the show during the strike. No one knows who. I tried, again, to find out just last week. No luck. We are still watching scab-written DAYS episodes. 

How would you rate DOOL now compared to Ron's work?

The primary function of broadcast television is to advertise to viewers. 

Oh, that's so debatable. Firstly, though, to sell to the viewers the viewers need to be committed. What makes them committed? Compelling story; weather it be a train wreck like Ron's work or a masterpiece like Clair's work. Ron sucked but he knew how to keep viewers glued.

The counter debate of your statement is that the creative team wants to express their creativity. They view the advertising model as a necessary evil.

But let's also remember that Charles Dickens, along with the other writers during the Victorian Era, were serial writers. Dickens is considered to be a brilliant writer, yet, the purpose of serials then was also to sell to the masses.

Further, early on, much of radio was self-funded. The original purpose of the FCC was to 'serve the public interest'.

Finally, let's be honest, all forms of entertainment that one pays for is a commodity. From the Broadway theater, to the movies, to streaming. Books, magazines, newspapers. They all exist to put money in someone else's pocket (again, the creative forces generally don't look at it that way but their managers do).

Hi there, Is there anywhere online I can stream or watch full episodes from the beginning or at least early 80's until the final episode of All My Children?
