When one character ruins a storyline
Daniel Jonas (DAYS) Making him the best thing to happen in Salem ruined every character that he interacted with.

ALL: Types of characters every soap needs
For a while, Abby Devereaux had makings of a "good girl gone bitch" on DAYS, but I guess they weren't having it. I LOVED OG recipe Nicole Walker as well. The conniving, alcoholic bitch was amazing. Weren't they all basically the same character, no shade, but I know that Rachel was only created because she got AW first, and Erica was created first.

Melrose Place
I just realized on my recent rewatch, that while the show is somehow known for catfight, they were very rare. In fact, in 7 seasons Amanda slaps only ONE female character and it's in the last season. Also, the characters jump into marriage super fast, it's really crazy. One little nuance that I have always liked, is the repeating of wardrobe and some of the other more realistic behavior.

I had no idea that sweeps were still even a thing with how soaps are the past 10-15 years.

SORAS predictions
I'm still disappointed that GH a good opportunity to have Lila Rae come back to seduce both Corinthos bros and extend the fued with Skye and Carly as well as have a long standing feud betwixt them.

Imagine it late afternoon instead of a bunch of court shows and reruns.

Chemistry Machines
I wonder why she's not doing a soap now. I would love to see her in a pairing with Carter on B&B, or battle it out with Carly on GH.

I just mean that FOX ratings were held at a different standard.

ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years
Especially because FOX never really cared about ratings.

Sunset Beach would have flourished way better at FOX!

ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years
When I was really into getting a my own soaps on air, I always wanted to pitch to FOX for late afternoon, or the 10 or 11 o'clock hours.

Okay, what's the story behind keeping Trevor St. John in these Merv Griffin ass turtle necks?! It's as bad as Brook Lynn on GH with the blazers.

Existing Recasts that Another Actor Would Have Excelled In
I would totally be down for Melinda Clarke! She was actually my pick for Alexis on Dynasty 2.0. Melinda and Jamie need to play sisters!

I totally think she could have worked as Victoria if given the material.

Existing Recasts that Another Actor Would Have Excelled In
I'm in love with the idea of Jamie Luner as Phyllis on YR. She's got that sexiness that Phyllis is supposed to have and plays the bitch well.

Character connections that were lost.
I'm opposed to giving any actor that much control, especially one so replaceable.

Sally Sussman Morina Interview
I feel like a Stan here, but I really think she'd make a good team with Bob Guza. I think they could provide a checks and balances system, she's good at character and the heart, he fills out the action and keeps it from being too boring.

B&B January 2023 Discussion Thread
I just want to know where these writers are getting the idea that twenty something nepotism babies are just dying to be married with kids. That and the snow white Los Angeles are the most unrealistic things about this show, and that says A LOT!
