Why was Julia on GH the most ruined character? I remember her hooking up with both Ned and AJ and then just leaving town. I don't remember her being ruined lol
MOST RUINED CHARACTER - JULIA BARRETT
When she hit Port Charles, Julia Barrett was a sharp, feisty, don't-get-in-her-way business tycoon. She immediately tangled with Bill ("William" to her) Eckert. To say sparks flew would not do actors Crystal Carson and Anthony Geary justice. But they broke up and Julia's dignity went with him. Julia was soon mixing business with pleasure with her partner, Ned. He dreamed of Jenny while sleeping with Julia. She deserved better, but things got worse - her next lover was Ned's teen cousin, AJ. Before Julia could take up with Sly, she mercifully left town. GH's original Julia was one of daytime's few positive role models for working single women. She did not depend on a man for her financial or emotional survival. She worked hard. She did not sleep her way to the top. She had best girlfriends (Lucy and Dominique). She even had a best guy friend (Scotty). In the end, Julia bailed out, leaving sister Brenda truly orphaned. R.I.P., Ms. Barrett.

Thanks! 1993 always Seems to be considered the last "golden" age of soaps before it went downhill.
Do you have the write up's for B&B's Ridge & Thorne as Worst Brothers and them being most improved show? I'd love to read them if you don't mind!
I can type them up real quick!
RIDGE & THORNE
Do you really believe that these two are brothers? Ridge and Thorne come from a close knit family and they both work at Forrester Creations but they never seem to connect. Do they squabble? No. Do they goad each other about who Dad likes best? Nope. Do they ever even talk? Rarely. You'd think that with the kind of year they've both had - Thorne supporting Macy in her battle with the bottle, and Ridge spending his nights and days trying to make a baby with Taylor - these brothers would have bonded. Yet we never see them tossing back a beer at the Bikini Bar or catching rays by the pool while plotting to oust Brooke from Forrester Creations. When one of them has a crisis, the other expresses only passing interest. And neither has close male friends. Two ambitious guys with thorny love lives and everything in common from genes to wives...seems like a missed opportunity to us.
MOST IMPROVED SHOW
There was a time when Bold and Beautiful was really The Caroline Forrester Show. (In Italy, the show was actually dubbed CAROLINE.) Nothing against actress Joanna Johnson, who played Ridge's doomed first wife, but B&B was long on tumors and short on humor. Even worse, it was suffering from ETA (Eternal Triangle Syndrome). Ridge couldn't choose between Brooke and Caroline; Brooke was caught between Ridge and his father, Eric and Eric couldn't choose between Brooke and Stephanie. Every time someone new showed up, you couldn't wait to see which two people they'd sleep with.
But this year, B&B veered in a new direction. The scripts got funny and feisty and more real action was woven into the fabric of the show. Take Eric's bizarre marriage to psycho nurse Sheila. Is she after his money, his body, just looking for a place to park her Doberman? With Sheila, you never know, and that's make this relationship so riveting. Every time they sink into the hot tub together, there's magnetism. (Of course Eric usually winds up with chest pains, Sheila gets that Norman Bates look in her eye, and that's just when Eric's "never can say goodbye" ex-wife, Stephanie, storms in stomping all over their monogrammed bath towels and their privacy. This is soap opera.) With Head Writer/Supervising Producer Bradley Bell at the helm, Bold and Beautiful has made a number of other significant strides. Brooke has she her Barbie doll BeLiefs and turned into a corporate bionic woman, Mary's not just struggling with her feelings for Thorne; she's also struggling to stay off the bottle - and out of Anthony's bed. And of course, there's never a dull day in Sally Spectra's life - heck, she even got Moses to come down from the mountain.

What is Steve Burton alleged to have said? I missed this...
Here you go (and he did not apologize or address it, he had Bradford Anderson go back and edit it out of the podcast later but people had already recorded it)
For those that are confused, they were in Glendale. Steve basically made a joke that it was "ghetto" there so they were going to serve chicken and watermelon

There are a lot of people who can cry that I don't consider good actors. Some rely entirely too much on tears to convey emotion and offer little else frankly (subtletly, nuance, anything else beisdes crocodile tears).
Back to the subject....
Florencia Lozano was a Viola Davis type crier, she'd give you tears, snot, the whole nine.

This is such a random question - does anyone know anything about these two scriptwriters? I know this is an old tweet but I have heard and seen Jill mention them before but there is not much out there about them

Not sure where to put this but this Maurice interview is interesting. He seems to shade some co-stars for not plugging his book and while he compliments DZ as an actor he also calls him insecure
