i feel the same way. to say ‘i agree with you,’ now involves quoting, then writing something and submitting. hitting a like button would both engage the responder and provide feedback for the poster — a win, win!.

this episode’s not getting off to a good start: vernon blowing smoke up victor’s a**; smitty has a five part series, but still no proper workspace. and while i. know processing grief takes. time, these scenes with ashley and jacob lamenting derek’s death are becoming tiresome. i know it’s still fresh, but this is television, not real life.

ALL: Escapism vs any semblance of reality
back in 2009, we love soaps published some thoughts from irna phillips. the entire piece is worth reading. but, for this thread, this paragraph resonates: 2. Identification. It is a perilous practice among dramatic writers to allow their situations or characters to become too remote from the average listener. On AS THE WORLD TURNS, for example, I have tried to keep my characters on a life-size scale. They are well off, but not wealthy. They are average in intelligence. My villains (though I reject the concept of the totally irretrievable character) are never so villainous that the listener turns away in disgust. There must be that element of universality in everything - that something that causes the listener to say, "Yes, I have felt that way," or "I have known someone very much like that."

was decompressing with a 1980 episode of ‘hart-to-hart.’ the actor playing the bad guy looked familiar, while i was checking imdb, i was beyond surprised to see rosemary prinz listed. had no idea she was in los angeles; in addition to ‘hart-to-hart,’ she did ‘archie bunker’s place’ and a few episodes of ‘knot’s landing.’

yes to all of this! though it does seem that the show is committed to the clunky format and we may just have to live with it.

so what, exactly, was the emergency that caused nicole to leave the cotillion in such a rush that she missed seeing samantha crowned?

this! given the budget for these two episodes, you’d think they could have set aside a few $$ to hire a day player to play miss imogen.
