I would not be mad! Especially on Peacock!

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!

Is anything interesting going on? I mean, out side of the DID which frankly Ron C tired me out of!

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.

Then it was just dropped completely as though it never happened! You'd never know they have that kind of history.

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.

They had chemistry and all but, it was super rushed! Didn't they get engaged in like two months. There was no build up.

Speaking of which, I would say that John/Kate was one of those convenient couples.

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.

You're welcome! I have to admit that I need to catch up.

Well, it's not filmed. They're told in writing form. check the links.

I've actually never seen those! What I'm referring to is more serialized novelization.

Weren't the characters best friends at one point?

Such as About Sky Falls https://www.skyfalls.com/, Footprints https://fpsoap.com/ , or there were a few others. They're pretty well written. Just curious if any other soap fans got into reading them. For a soap fan like me they're pretty fun.

Ashley and Neil were actually very good together but, they weren't really given much of chance. I wish they could have worked out though. I'm surprised about Ashley and Paul! I really don't remember that.

Damn near every Rafe pairing on DAYS. Why's he still there again? Carter and Katie on BOLD. They clearly just felt that they had to do something with them. Especially when Katie would have made more sense with Justin.

I'm just hoping with the tv season over to hear something in the way of a new nighttime soap.

Really slow news day for soaps, eh?

It's really funny you say that about SMG because it's usually true. Save for Simply Irresistible I guess.

That also shows us a problem with giving characters too many unnecessary kids. It's done for shock and goes nowhere. Where the hell is the Taylor/Brooke baby? The other issue it presents is the issue with making everyone related. I hate that we have no "Around Towners" anymore. That's what makes characters like Nicole (DAYS) work. She can be a romantic wildcard. That's why a family of friends style kinda works too.

Oh. I guess. I just thought Alice was unhinged! i'm big catfight fan, when it's warranted and done well. I always hate when they're played for comedy. That's my one gripe with All My Children, everything always seemed comedic for some reason. The first and second catfight on Dynasty made sense and were actually pretty volatile, that's why those worked for me.

I'm not sure what I was expecting but, I wouldn't call that a fight.

I was 14 when it came out and I was already writing my own soap with way better storylines and smarter characters! I'm not sure what idiotic kids he was writing for but PASSIONS to me was like an insult to soap and and everything that people make fun of soaps for. It brought to death the modern soap opera.
