I also thought it was weird that Martin/Smitty talked about their hair getting grayer and thinner... when they literally have full heads of hair and no gray at all. I think it just goes back to this show not doing age well... at all. That comment should have come from the Nicole/Dani/Bill/Ted generation. Or, it could have come from Smitty/Martin, but I don't believe them to have high school twins... when some of those kids look 30 as it is haha. Anyway, I'm early 40s myself and only in the last few years have I found myself talking that way... I know people age differently, but it's got to be realistic to what we're visually seeing. I still don't understand why this other twin/daughter couldn't go to her father's funeral because she had the flu. Makes no sense. It's also weird that Donnell is still drinking and doing toasts to his dad with alcohol when his father died from drinking too much, which Donnell hates... but he's doing it. Can one really 'borrow' an e-book? We aren't swapping paperbacks... Still love the show haha

Oh very cool! I have a work colleague from Bulgaria, very nice guy. I haven't visited there, but I did do a week in Greece a few years back and it was beautiful - one of my favorite vacations to-date. Your English is just fine, I honestly had no idea, I just assumed you were American (my bad!) haha.

Oh Dr. Ruth LOL - I remember her as a teenager thinking WTH LOL. @Maxim - Are you full on German, or an American living in Germany now? I'm always so curious.

Y'all - I'm doing my annual New England autumn trip and I'm seeing all these lighthouses which reminds me of GL! I know GL was set on the Great Lakes and not the East Coast, but a lighthouse is a lighthouse I'm still watching GL here and there when I have a minute, and I want to drop kick this Reva clone off the top of a lighthouse. I'm over it haha.

Thanks for posting! Wow, I had no idea that's why James Fitzpatrick left AMC. I just googled him and he's been married since 1990. I bet that didn't go over well with the wife haha.

Mind blown! I just read through his Wiki - had no idea! I just watched the first Friday the 13th last weekend for the first time in my life LOL. I see he primarily wrote with McTavish, even in 1995-1996 at Guiding Light under her. Makes even more sense with the Brent Lawrence/Marian Crane storyline LOL. That was a great scene. I was surprised we heard some much sexier noise on a daytime soap!

Whoa! Thanks for posting. I've also never seen Kari as Dixie. She had a pretty southern twang, but you're right about that hair, how awful LOL. So what's the story with Kari and why did they recast with Cady? I never heard that story nor knew how long Kari was in the role. This is just before I can remember watching as a child (1990), and I always knew Tom Paris from ST: Voyager was Charlie, but didn't realize it was just before I started watching! I didn't realize he was in a triangle with Maurice Benard either! I only remember Nico/Cecily, so seeing them with other love interests is interesting.

Love to see it! They've got some new girls this year, good! And no Sweet Tea!

Today was much needed... characters that rarely interact, interacted. Having Chelsea dig into Tomas and discuss it was great. Seeing Ted and Smitty talk, great. LOL at Ted calling him Clark Kent, and then Smitty takes off his glasses. It was also nice seeing Kat confide to her mom about Tomas. Real discussions about feelings and storyline were had today which was nice. 😵‍💫 at Anita saying it's Bill's fault for Dani/Andrew marrying. No, just no! LOL at Leslie and her fruitcake, so funny.

Awesome! Thanks

Oh how cool! Where is this from?

God bless that director! LOL. Once he calmed down, I enjoyed him.

Ahhh I didn't even think about the old soap Texas - that makes sense, thanks y'all!

So interesting the various opinions on the openings! @Maxim - agree on the Tour of Llanview being a little too sitcom, as catchy as it is, but it felt like Llanview to me. I think a few of the other soaps had more 'sitcom' style, catchy intros there in the 80s/early 90s (GL, AW come to mind). But I do always prefer an opening with characters in them.

Ohh is the Texas invasion the introduction of Reva/Billy/Josh/etc or something more?

LOL well, ok - I didn't think of that, but I wouldn't be mad

Cannot agree more ♥️🔥

Oh God, I hope not LOL. I' m good with Nicole, Vanessa, even Dani!

Thank you That's awesome to me - I loved him!

What are people's thoughts about the opening going from Tour of Llanview to this? LOL - it's so jarring, and I know what they were trying to do, but this opening seems like an AI-generated output when asked to create a "romantic soap opera theme". It just had no personality and doesn't match what you're watching @Maxim. I loved what they did after this though. And I would love this opening if it was something different, like some primetime soap opera or something haha.

Wait who is it?? LOL - put it in spoiler tags. I didn't see anyone in that quick video above. Gosh, he's 80 - he's doing SO well for 80. Good on him!

I'm finally watching the Cameron Mathison episode and gosh, I love him and Rebecca so much. I love how close they are, making each other cry, and realizing that they, along with Alicia, were best friends during their time at AMC. Cameron has been through SO much in the last several years, I feel bad for him. But he has such a great spirit and attitude. What an inspiration.

I'm watching SOAPY and Rebecca Budig said Zimmer was the show lead during her tenure and called her a 'DID' - a Diva in Development - haha. She said Kim was so down to earth and such a fun broad. She said that Paul Rauch was so intimidating to her, mostly because she was only 19-20 at the time, but she was so nervous around him. I just found that interesting.

♥️🖖

Yes!! She was great with comedy too. I've always thought she had very similar mannerisms and acting choices as Kate Mulgrew, if you know her. I love both women.
