I’m pretty sure I know why violence in general is more reported these days as opposed to this time last year. But I stick with the main and cancelled soaps boards to avoid politics (even though anti-conservative language and sentiments is in both of those places semi-regularly) so I will leave it at that.

I’d give it a day or two. Whatever problems there have been have usually been solved quickly.

I’ve been feeling this way since about the third week, when I realized we weren’t getting to know the men the same way we were getting to know the women. And it went downhill from there in that regard.

If someone doesn’t know the rules, that’s on them, not the person politely informing them.

Brandon having his moments does not disqualify him from being the worst. Not that Alegria doesn’t have him in a dead heat. It doesn’t help that both characters are ranging from just unsympathetic to complete assholes from a writing standpoint as well. And Vernon has been exposed as a typical elite.

Thank you, Errol!

Thanks, @DRW50! Appreciate the heads up!

I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.

I know this isn’t a usual or anywhere near universal take, but I loved the relatively brief Hal/Emily relationship/marriage more than I ever thought I would have with KMH/BH.

Kat is still a privileged elitist. She hated Eva on sight because Eva didn’t bow her head to her immediately and continued to treat Eva like a stain on her overpriced shoes. I’d love to know if Laura kissed her ass and kissed the ring properly and knew her place below Kat in the general hierarchy. While Eva has been deserving of most of the consequences she’s been reaping, the Dupree women can take several hundred seats with the way they behave towards others. The hypocrisy and posturing irks me more than anything else and it’s the same thing that irks me about all other prominent soap families who can do no wrong in their own eyes. I’m not really rooting for any of these assholes except maybe Eva (who is by default the smallest [!@#$%^&*] on this show), but I’m rooting against the Dupree family (except Nicole - she’s awesome) in general and I’m not sure that’s the goal of the showrunners.

Give me receipts from news organizations who did not spend every day of the Biden regime lying their asses off whether passively or actively and then we can have a talk.

None of that is true.

Most right-leaning don’t actually give a crap about how other people live their lives and just want the same courtesy. Not that there aren’t major assholes who are right-leaning, but there are also more major assholes who are left-leaning, and it’s the left-leaning assholes who are quicker to hatefulness and violence in my experience.

Thank you so much! I originally got into this because I’ve been a true blue GL fan all my life and Jerry ver Dorn’s tribute to Mary Stuart on the sad occasion of her passing set me on the trail of Search For Tomorrow. In a happy (or psychotic - YOU be the judge) coincidence, I am also somewhat obsessed with seeing everything that Will Patton has ever done that’s captured on tape. I’ve accepted the inevitability that some scenes may be lost, but you have given me Patton’s last scenes on SFT. I’m also a huge fan of Matt Ashford, so seeing any of his pre-Days or pre-GH work is a plus (even if his character is a complete jerk, lol) and I so very much appreciate everything you have provided and even all the things I don’t properly appreciate yet, having not gotten to them yet. You are simply wonderful in all ways and I so very much much appreciate all of your contributions to the soap community.

Thanks so much!

Agreed. I wasn’t going to say anything because I rarely post here, but some should check their entitlement. There’s a better way to ask if shenanigans are going on or to report it. Especially with all the generous hard work that’s been done to keep these vids available to anyone who wants to see them.

Wouldn’t it be something if whatever Martin did ten years ago contributed to the deaths of Hayley’s parents (Dani said she was an orphan), which directly led to Bill and Dani taking her in? I don’t think either Hayley or Ashley look old enough to be best friends with Naomi, who in turn looks more like Dani and Nicole’s sister rather than daughter and niece respectively. They both look more of an age with the social media influencers. I missed Anita and Vernon today. I’m definitely more intrigued to find out what shadiness they were up to in protecting Martin, who seems like a typical insincere politician to me. I am definitely enjoying this show, but it seems to me there’s a lot of not quite natural posturing, like the characters themselves are just performing to each other.

I’ve been trying to figure out why I’m not loving this show, unable to put my finger on it, and you reached into my head and pulled it out. The only characters who seem to have more than an inch of depth right now are Dani and Leslie. Everyone else is too busy complimenting each other and posturing in completely unnatural ways. Vernon and Anita started feeling more like real people yesterday. so I’m thinking we’ll get more depth once we get through the first couple of weeks.

I’m definitely looking forward to this show. Watched all the preview shows last week and have my DVR set for it. Now I just need to decide whether to avoid spoilers or not…

Thanks, Errol!

Have any Comcast subscribers found BTG to set to record yet? As of yesterday it doesn’t appear to be listed yet.

*sigh*

LOL.

Barnabas Collins owns this thread.

Whatever else Jill Farren Phelps did to whatever other soaps and actors, and her sins were many, I think she balanced the scales with her hiring of Michael Zaslow, who had been cruelly cast off by CBS when he started showing signs of ALS. I put this elsewhere on this board, but it bears repeating - Whoever put out the statement addressing his dismissal at CBS should burn in hell.
