Y&R May 2022 Discussion Thread
Source? I believe you but I still like to see where inside dirt originates. Thanks Ashland and Diane may click well together, but do we really want Dianne sucked back into Newman politics? Dwight should be shady character, keeping up Esther's horrible taste in men. Maybe get Kevin or Chloe shot or harmed.

YR: Fan favorite couple gets married
Never got into them, they always just seemed like rely good friends. Never saw any romantic characters, also the writers wrote it that way to not agitate the older viewers perhaps. It is CBS, and seniors love CBS.

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread
Love the first one, she also looked and seemed more Irish than the others. She's gorgeous and reminds me of AW's Julie Osburn (Kathleen) who I crushed on as a kid and was devastated when she was written off. Did not care for the other two AT ALL.

Days of Our Lives: May 2022 Discussion Thread
I'd still love to see Evan revealed as the child of Marlena and Orpheus. See Marlena be the mother of a real monster. See them try to humanize him like Ben. 😆 Seems very believable that she COULD'VE just said that to get a rise out of Abby. Gwen was leaving her alone, but it was Abby who went out of her way to expose Gwen in a matter that had nothing to do with her. Whether Gwen killed Laura on purpose, it wouldn't surprise me if they try to keep it ambiguous.

Cancelled Soap Questions
Here's another one. Did anyone really "follow the search"? In other words was the (small) NBC SFT audience, mainly NBC loyalists as opposed to migrated CBS viewers?

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread
I'd rather jo and stu be at the start of the intro, being senior cast members, definitely not lost in the middle. For example,, Bob, Kim and Nancy usually were the first shown in the 1999 ATWT intro. Then you have a modern fan fave like Lilly appear last. That's how it should be done. First and last spots being the important people.

Characters that ATE their Soaps
As a non-viewer, I always got the impression that it was all about Erica, like Reva on GL. SL being on magazine covers and name dropped in pop culture venues like the Regis Philbin show.

Cancelled Soap Questions
Why didn't NBC expand The Doctors, 2-3pm after Days and AW expanded to one hour? You think it would've been a safer option than expanding AW to 90 minutes.

Jerry VerDorn has passed away
Calla withheld information about Dinah as she feared that Vanessa and Ross would grow closer if she was found.

Jerry VerDorn has passed away
So sad. Wanted to pay my respects. He grew to be the heart of the TV show GL. His Christmas "eyes of a child" message was a hallmark of GL for many years. I tried taking up One Life To Live just because of him. He was very missed from GL, the show never the same.

Pick a Year and Name it's Best/Worst Soaps(s)
IIRC, Y&R was on a serious upswing, starting around mid '98, not too long after ED returned as Ashley. Of the soaps I watched, I remember ATWT being in a pretty bad slump in '99 before becoming real good for the following 4-5 years.

All: character may be killed off
Maybe it ends up being an homage to the movie Soapdish.. remember the producers brought back a character who was decaptated. "He Has No Head"

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
Under Rauch new supercouples Rassie and Manny became popular, at a detriment to the show. They needed a bigger emphasis on the core families instead of just having one or two Bauers, and a handful for the other families. Too many random, unrelated characters when they should've mined the various family trees. Jim and Tony Reardon could've had children, Bridget and Matt definitely had more siblings. Then of course there's Bea Reardon's other daughter that was never cast. Nola's daughter Anastasia should've been cast and maybe a plot involving Floyd being released from jail and wanting a relationship with his grown daughter. If Rick, Phillip and Beth were there, Melinda Sue should of been there. Alan-Michael also should've been back after two or three years away.

Pick a Year and Name it's Best/Worst Soaps(s)
Others have said it, but I agree. Best 2002: Guiding Light. The Interim hiring Team of Millee Taggart and Carolyn Culliton finally got the show back on track after the dark age of B&E running the show into ground. Unfortunately all the improvements were flushed down the toilet the next year with John Conboy. In 2003 the show was way worse than Brown/Esenstein, perhaps the worst ever. Worst of 2003. Perhaps the worst year ever for the show. Serial killer Ben Reade, Alex stalking Reva in a painful mid-story re-write, Marilyn Carrouthers. wasting Peter Simon after finally getting him to come back the year prior and never giving us the teased story about his time in Africa.

Most Iconic Characters from The Short Lived Soaps
Didn't watch the show but Santa Barbara's Cruz and Eden were a top 80s supercouple despite the show's low ratings.

Pick a Year and Name it's Best/Worst Soaps(s)
Best of 1986: Another World In 1986 Another World was really firing on all cylinders with the peak of Cass and Kathleen, the introduction of Reginald Love, Mary/Marissa and Micheal Hudson. The return of Mitch, the tragic courtship between Felicia and Zane. Worst of 1987: Another World Margaret DePriest had a great first year in 1986 but 1987 took a deep dive downward with Brittany, Catlin, Peter and Kathleen gone and Cass gone for about six months. Cass lost his spark after Kathleen's "death." The momentum of The McKinnon family was wasted. They lured Denise Alexander to the show then quickly write out her family and recast her husband Vince. Veteran AA character Quinn was brutally killed off for shock value after building her up with Zack. Plus replacing the majestic theme from 1981. The introduction of John Hudson and the SORASing of Amanda were bright spots.

They should replace LG with someone who has charisma. Yes, the writing is garbage but she's not very good in the role either.

REPORT: B&B: Star Out!
Good riddance. It was hard to see the actor and not hear "Liberty Biberty."
