That's too good!

Dom looks to be a great interviewer!

Willow trying not to let Sidwell get a word in edgewise and Sidwell's glee at showing Drew the livestream cracked me up.

I really liked these scenes too. Hope it means a real story for him.

Nikki is so earnest there. She goes from being joyful over her new job to realizing Casey knows and then fiercely defending herself to then pleading for acceptance. Really good range from MTS. A story like this could easily play today but would be considered too edgy.

What an accomplishment! The best thing is the characters. I feel as attached to most of them as the ones on the longtime soaps. I'd like to see the pacing improve. Some stories felt rushed while others drag on. Nothing feels really high stakes, but yet the day to day dialogue and interactions are engaging.

Of course, on this show the person always says they feel sorry and the judge lets them go. Really gripping stuff. Such big stakes for all these kidnappings where the person is always returned unharmed and the perpetrator doesn't go to jail. Really moves story forward. Great tension as we watch them sit in some dirty room wondering if they'll be rescued.

Shemar keeping it very real!

Spinelli mooning over Nathan's baby blues is priceless.

Would it help to just not sticky the monthly threads? GH, Days and BTG would probably naturally stay near the top. I also don't see why the monthly cast lists need to be sticked. That would open up some breathing room. I do see the problem with the long threads, because I rarely am caught up enough on BTG and GH to actually post and there's not much point in posting a week after the fact. And it can almost be a drag to catch up. What about posting the news items in Discuss the Soaps instead of a separate area? I feel like those often duplicate the spoiler threads too. Something vague like "actor exits ( show) " seems vague enough to me to fit in DTS. Something like the Ted recast on BTG could have generated a lot of discussion.

That's how I understand it too. Within the GH section there could be daily discussions, spoiler threads, and you could also start threads like "I love Emma and Gio!!!" and "Carly is a hypocrite!" but that doesn't feel organic to this board somehow. I think this place tends to be super organized and archive-able, so that if I want to rewatch GH from the late 2000s or early 2010s, I could literally go into the archives and read the "live" discussion threads alongside, if I wanted. That's what I like about SON, that it is well organized with a lot of data, synopsis, and intelligent discussion of both classic and current soaps. Another example would be in 5 years, I can go back into the BTG BTS thread and re-read everything that happened as the show developed and watch it unfold as it did in real time - initial reactions, casting news, story nuggets dropped. With the new setup being proposed there would be probably be new threads for every announcement.

I truly can't picture that!

But would the old threads still continue, like the classic Y&R thread? To me it makes more sense to post old clips and articles there than people starting a new thread for random odds and ends.

Almost surely they will reveal Malcolm and Stephanie reconnected and either are married or have an adult child (who will be killed off if there's any potential there). Another offscreen yawn.

Lmao, if i didn't trust Errol so much I would think this was one of those fake AI Facebook stories.
