I'll be modest in my wishes - better dialogue. Thanks.

Merry Christmas @Marquise ! 🎁

BTG really delivered this Christmas. The show has shown consistent improvement over the past few months. While I know some people might wish for a quicker pace, I personally enjoy a slow build-up and appreciate the long-term arcs that many characters seem to be going for. They are finally moving away from the weekly headline storytelling, which I truly appreciate, as it had my head spinning at one point. That said, if things take a turn for the worse, I won't hesitate to voice my criticism again, but for now, I'm pleased with how we're wrapping up the year. It's not without its flaws, of course. They have certainly experimented with what works and what doesn't, but I believe they've found their footing. The three areas that still require a lot of improvement are: 1. Dialogue; 2. Antagonists; 3. Characters that need revamping or recasting (we all know who they are... cough... Ashley... cough... Tomas...). Perhaps I should include a fourth point - anything related to the mob. That needs to be removed before it causes any more damage. Aside from that, the show has created its own unique atmosphere (I don't think it's similar to Bold like some people say), features plenty of likable characters, and has enough stakes on several fronts to engage viewers. The only campiness has been the charming, villain-from-hell type, and they've managed to avoid most of the typical soap opera absurdities. I wish the team of the soap Merry Christmas and I'm looking forward to a whole new year of adventures.

Merry Christmas, dear @alwaysAMC ! I'm happy that you liked it, haha. I hope Viki and Sloan give me enough new material in the new year for a part 2. 🥳

Thank you for the tag @DRW50 ! 🤗

I remember when I first saw him I thought... "God...his face is memorable!" Once you see him you never forget him. Leslie has that same... unique quality, you just never forget her. They struck gold with Timon.

Paradise!!!!!! Ah. Sublime picks. This is something from me.

He embodies him sooo well. And that man is truly a scene stealer. One of a kind.

Ah, that's the most beautiful thought I've heard all day today... and it's Christmas... All I can say is - Amen.

I hear this music anytime I check my bank account to see how I'm doing and how much money I've destroyed for Christmas shoppings. 🤭

Ah, I'm so glad to hear you liked it! 🎁🎄🎅 Santa truly went above and beyond for Viki this year... leaving her a hot general under the Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas to everyone in Llanview! @DRW50 @soapfave06 @mar4331 @janea4old @alwaysAMC @AMCOLTLLover @Franko @Sapounopera @chrisml @Khan @yrfan1983 🎁🎅 ❤️

How I feel after overeating the entire day.

I started with autumn 1991 after a friend recommended it to me... And I've been obsessed ever since. I'm now up to early 1993. It's become my number 1 show. Oh and... Merry Christmas, dear @Taoboi !

That's a good idea. I may do this to bypass that initial falling asleep period. Thank you for the advice and... Merry Christmas! @TheyStartedOnSoaps 🎄

Merry Christmas to you too, darling @dragonflies !

Merry Christmas, @DRW50 ! I'll remember 2025 in part of being the year I discovered OLTL and that journey would have been much less exciting and meaningful without your amazing observations and thoughts in that topic. I cherish this very much. Merry Christmas to all and cheers to our first Christmas in the forum's new design - @Errol and @Toups have done so much for the forum, I don't know how to say "Thank you" enough.

BTG up more in overall numbers than the other three soaps combined.

Merry Christmas, dear @soapfan770 ! May Santa bring you a lot of presents. 🎁🎅

I think it's time she googles (publicly while someone is standing over her of course) - "rat poison on sale".

Sounds marvelous.

She said what she said. ❤️
