ALL: Racism & Soap Operas
The problem is that it always leads to a White Hero story and the character of color is quickly then and afterthought. This is why there just needs to be more representation in general.

DAYS: Who’s worse Higley or Carlivati
I know the cheese stands alone but, I didn't hate Langan-Era. Aside from the Virtual Eden crap, I thought it was pretty damn good! Couldn't miss a day. I was certainly better than post Salem Stalker and the JER clean up era that we remained in for years. I was probably the last time I was addicted to the show. Again, Salem Stalker was good, it had a piss poor denouement though. I will say that I enjoyed Langan btter than anything happening now, or for the past few years. Maybe 2012.

ALL: Resting long term characters
In my mind, they aren't a part of that dumpster fire. Especially since they don't do fashion there anymore. It would be it's own thing, in a sense it would be a new family.

B&B: How to fix the mess that the show has become?
There really is no variety. There's never a B-story and if there is is just as overwrought and recycled. They need a big shake up!

ALL: Racism & Soap Operas
No. Until there are people of color writing they really need to stay the hell away from writing this kind of story.

ALL: Resting long term characters
There's enough incestuous relation on the show! That's why I think they should introduce a modeling agency with a house. It can be full of unrelated characters with endless opportunities. It can be owned by an ice cold bitch played by Kristian Alfonso.

All of this! She needs something else to do!

Where the hell is Jack?! I keep asking this! He's missing along with my damn earthquake! That being said, we might be subject another decade of Hope/Steffy bs and quite frankly, I can't. where is Little Eric though?

I am so here for this! Davetta giving it to Christel's Lily is everything I need! Then, don't let Davettas character fall for Daniel!

In his defense he's 6'4"!

ALL: Characters that have outlived their current usefulness
The thing about Carly, is she can serve a purpose if not force the same story circles. I still remember they were teasing Carly/Nikolas and stopped it cold, just to throw her back to Sonny. Same an amazing pairing with Shawn. A lot of the problem is writers being afraid let characters do anything else. I do agree that Sonny can go though! Hate the character and get annoyed the actor.

ALL: Who do you think would be a good writer for the remaining soaps?
A new family? So everyone can criticize them to diminishment like the Rosales? Then talk about how there's no focus on the elder families? Not saying I don't agree! I've written up a treatment of my own family (the Goodnights) to integrate into the the show. I just think that the show as a whole needs a huge kick in the ass!

B&B: How to fix the mess that the show has become?
I will say it until it happens! We need a big earthquake or something! Maybe a killer. A big umbrella story where people actually die. Even a massive tsunami. Kill people, bring some together. They have the budget! Maybe instead of a remote they can do it.

I would not be mad! Especially on Peacock!

ALL: Who do you think would be a good writer for the remaining soaps?
I always get in trouble for it but, I could take some Guza at either Bell soap right now. I'll have a drink to my very unpopular opinion! Especially at B&B where they really have nowhere else to go but up! Y&R might get a little more lively too. I really miss action, especially with payoff and involving characters that don't really mix it up. Still, as always, hoping for that huge B&B earthquake!

ALL: Recasts who seemed like a different character.
I still think Davetta Sherwood got a raw deal. She was really good and was a perfect Mini-Dru that Christel never could be.

I can't see any writer wanting to work that schedule.

Just say DAYS! Lmgao. They have been taking it too damn far.

ALL: Convenient Couples
Then it was just dropped completely as though it never happened! You'd never know they have that kind of history.
-
ALL: Convenient Couples
I tend to agree with you in hindsight. They could work with better writing but, those post JER years were... something. Lots of insta-couples.
-
ALL: Convenient Couples
They had chemistry and all but, it was super rushed! Didn't they get engaged in like two months. There was no build up.
-
ALL: Convenient Couples
Speaking of which, I would say that John/Kate was one of those convenient couples.

ALL: Did/does anyone follow the Web Soaps?
Thank you. I'm not sure how it devolved into nonsense when I was clear. I have been told to dumb things down when I talk in real life though.
