Maxim

God Shanice is sooo beautiful. Give her the first spot in the intro... Like... now!

I'm just in the corner laughing that Bold didn't get any important nominations (for now). I'm that bish.

They have to give Bradley the Soap Razzie Award for all of this for sure. It's laughable at best... depressing at the state of what CBS is allowing to air on their channel at worse.

Up to May 29th, 1992. 💔 "The end of Viki and Clint?" 🔷 I'm back... sadly for the past few days my work schedule has made it impossible to watch more than 1 episode a day. And I wanted to have at least 2-3 new ones so I can write my review. All work and no OLTL makes Maxim a dull boy! So what is going on right now? 🔷 There is something brewing in Llanfair. Victoria and Clint's disagreements about their son Kevin are just a facade for something deeper. The arrival of the mysterious Sloan Carpenter has turned Victoria into... this giddy, always laughing, full of excitement... girl... almost. She looks 20 years younger when she speaks to him, her whole demeanor is different. This man really pulls something fresh out of her. In contrast to the more passive (at this time) and mild Clint... Sloan is a stern, more intimidating type of man. Clint saw his wife having a great time with Sloan and observed in confusion. Then as soon as Viki left the room, the mood shifted to a nuance of concealed contempt. Sloan and Clint started butting heads on different topics and positions in life. Something wicked this way comes! 🔷 The Sarah Buchanan show is close to ruining the fun for me. She traveled to see her jailer who ended up being this bizarre, bad-acting boring man that seems desperately in love with her. B-O-R-I-N-G. I can't... I really can't stand this bish and her issues. She eats up airtime and I want her gone asap. Sorry for my directness. We didn't need her at all. I have no idea why they brought her back, because anything connected to her has flopped immensely. In a way, this storyline makes Bo look and act like a complete idiot. He was sooo "in love" with Cassie and they had this great story... only for him to dump her in a few weeks after Sarah came back. Made no sense to me. Now from a kind of... sympathetic character... Bo has turned into a villain for me. I won't forgive how he broke-up with Cassie over the f-cking PHONE. 🔷 Blair and Max went to help Joe in Texas. Joe is yet another person who didn't like Blair. He sensed she has some kind of darkness coming out of her and tried to warn Max about it. They are painting Blair as this fatal woman that ruins men and people's lives... and I'm kinda living for it. John Steinbeck's Cathy Ames with a dash of empathy. At Joe's place... one thing led to another and all of a sudden Blair was having a bubble bath in front of Max who was standing at the other side of the window. Again... similar to how @DRW50 put it about the Viki-Blair scene from couple of days ago - this time... you aren't sure if Blair is not purposely trying to seduce Max or... if Max is just... a creep. 🔷 Dorian had a session with the hot psychiatrist that lead her to a realization (with this psychiatrist... I would have one too) - all of her life she was doing bad things and trying to control people... as a defense mechanism from the deeply rooted childhood trauma of getting bullied and terrorized by her sister. It really makes sense. I like how interested in Dorian... the new writers are. 1991-1992 so far has been very Dorian Lord-heavy, at times you could say... "The Dorian Lord Show" which is something I didn't expect. On the other hand... I haven't seen much character growth or interesting moments with Victoria (other than constantly losing people, suffering and giving people advice). So I'm happy that they are giving Viki HER OWN leading storyline now with Sloan. It was about time. Overall - 7 out of 10 - We need Sarah OFF immediately. The character is dragging the entire show in my opinion. Clip of the day - Dorian with the hot psychiatrist. A man that knows just how to cure your trauma.

Good try, CBS... now please spare us these experiments in the future. Thank you for the article @Errol!

Well, well, well. No surprises. 😂

Dani serving SON-forum-member realness. LOL.

The link in the opening post... from @ChickenNuggetz92 is indeed the most updated one - the current location of the vault.

Thank you. I've always been amazed how Viki is always Viki... At every stage of the show. I don't know how to describe it... I've often found younger versions of the same characters/actors to sound so different... Almost like different people. But every time I stumble across something with Viki... She is undeniably Viki. You can't forget that voice.

The themes of the soap are classic storylines - love and betrayal, lies, revenge, money, power, social-climbing, opportunists, cheating wives and husbands... scandals and some thriller-crime stuff here and there. In the beginning we have a lot of drama concerning cheating husbands... especially. It's very addicting. Here we have something like... the Greek Dani Dupree or Tatyana Drakos... finding her cheating husband. 😂

And now I can't stop laughing. 😁

Lampsi Lampsi or Η Λάμψη... (in English: The Shine)... holds the title for the longest-running soap opera in Greek television and is one of the most popular shows in both Greece and Bulgaria. It aired almost daily for over 14 years on the Greek TV channel ANT1. The show kicked off on September 16, 1991, and wrapped up with its final episode on July 29, 2005. Over its 14-year run, a total of 3,457 episodes were aired. The series featured 190 stories, which required 150,000 pages of dialogue, involved 1,500 actors, seven directors, and a multitude of technicians. Nikos Foskolos penned the script, while the episodes were directed by Nikos Foskolos, Spyros Foskolos, and five other directors. Currently ANT1 is uploading the entire series in their streaming platform. Some of the episodes are already on youtube. Personally, this was the soap, together with Bold, that defined the genre... in my childhood. The streets were legit empty when the show was on, that's how my grandmother described it. She was the biggest Lampsi fan on this planet... Now re-watching some of the early episodes I'm shocked at how great the production, writing and everything looks. Yes, it has it's melodrama, but it's not bad. Quite the contrary. If I'm not mistaken I remember reading that when the first 2 seasons were airing in Greece it had record viewing - more than half the audience of any tv channel watching... was watching Lampsi. They only planned to have 1-2 seasons, but the overwhelming success led them to make more seasons.

Hahahah. I'm mourning the loss of the curls. 😁

So on this trash... every other year someone is terminally ill, but miraculously survives... and every other year... people are shot like dogs in despicable situations, but yet... don't die.
