AMCOLTLLover

I’m in week 2 of February 2015 and I forgot what an amazing actor Kristof is!

Neil finally got his eyesight back and saw Devon/Hillary doing it. Poor Neil. He started drinking again and planning some revenge! His fake-blindness is so much fun to watch and makes me miss him these days even more. But the way Devon acted throughout this storyline makes me hate him so much more than I already did. 

I know people love Nikki and Victor and I like them.. BUT I always thought she deserved better than him tbh. Neil/Nikki looked good in their scenes with their deep conversations 

Dawsons creek and early edition were two of my favorite shows and capitol wasn’t bad produced.

lets goo. Can’t be worse than days of our lives for years lol

Thanks. Apologies for being away. I'm just dealing with some personal stuff.

Take your time. We are thankful that u are still here.  hope everything works out.

After 22-24 episodes it made click to me lol Austin is played by Mathew Atkinson who plays Thomas on B&B.. omg. I completely forgot. He looked familiar but now it made finally click

Gina’s acting as Phyllis in the clinic gave me goosebumps. I get why people fell in love with her after Michelle’s exit. I love both Phyllis versions. 
 

Muhney was MY Adam.. But I have to say out of the 3 latest versions Justin Hartley is MY Adam. He had chemistry with everyone man lol 

Do we have to be concerned about GH?

I’ve picked January 2015 for my Y&R start to go back to and watch some Sharon and I couldn’t be more happier with the month I picked.

Sharon vs Nick’s custody battle for Faith was going on. Such a juice storyline. At first they were warming up to each other again and even tried to be civil. But a misunderstanding ruined it and they are going for the custody in court. Faith misunderstood Sage’s visit at Nick’s house when she was over and that caused more drama. Loved it.

AND I forgot that 2014/15 was the recast year with Adam played by the fabulous Justin Hartley, Billy by Burgess Jenkins and Phyllis by Gina Togni.

Adam pretending to be Gabriel Bingham and working with Sage is hilarious. They can’t stand each other but work together to get the heritage from the dying Constance Bingham. Which died early on in this year. Adam sneaking around Chelsea was fun. I remember that I watched April til like August 2015 a bit (with missing episodes) back then and loved them so much and still do. Gosh that chemistry. I even like this Billy. I remember fans weren’t fond of him but I think that he worked well with this version of the Billy-Adam story. Billy sensing that something’s off with him and getting jealous because he always pops up around Chelsea. At first she wasn’t thinking about it but noticed it too and told him off a bit. Lol if she knew. 

I was heartbroken when Kelly Sullivan left GH. But oh gosh I loved her joining Y&R. And ofc she had to go through Joshua Morrow’s Nick’s approval coz he gets like all the new hotties lol BUT Sage and Nick flowed well and naturally and they have actually real chemistry. I am a sucker for shick but Sage and Nick are a good fit.

Michael’s prostate cancer got revealed to his family. I forgot about it. But it was written good.

Dylan fighting for crimson and it got revealed that Victor is the secret enemie. Ugh this month reminded me why I hate Victor Newman. I love EB and Victor is Y&R but he got away with so much cruelty and stuff which makes me angry. Trying to ruin his wife’s son business to save his own “FOR the family”.. He also had a side plot against Ashley and Jabot and a new perfume and espionage lol Like yeah.. Give Victor more storylines after storylines.. Oh yeah right. And his side plot against Jack coz he pushed Phyllis waking up from the coma with the experimental tests etc. Right. That wasn’t enough. He also has another side plot with Jill who wants to buy chancellor from him. He had like 4-5 story’s at once. WTH? But he backed down from his war path against Dylan at the end of the month. 
We have Dylan’s story with Joe Clark. I forgot about Dylan and Avery’s pairing. Steve Burton surprised me. He got some action scenes when he was attacked at crimson and when he kicked down joe Clark’s door and threatened him.. I mean it’s Steve Burton. Ofc he gets some action scenes. Wouldn’t have it any other way. But it was surprising how much emotions he put into his acting. Why can’t he do that on GH? Weird. 
Joe Clark kinda annoyed me and I remember his character was a flop anyway.

Kelly vs Phyllis showed me what a great actress GT was as Phyllis. I felt entertained by it. But what is it with Y&R turning their leading females into a mess. Nikki having MS and struggling with being an alcoholic, Phyllis turning mentally unstable , Sharon’s Bipolar and now in 2023-24 Ashley’s DID’s. Who’s next? Lily? Victoria? Jill? Lol

Gosh I remember how juicy the Neil-Hillary-Devon Story was.. But oh damn. It also remembered me why I hated Devon and still do. I don’t even understand why Y&R is pushing his character for 2 decades by now. He’s so boring with no appeal. Only thing that carried this story was Hillary and the blind Neil. Can’t wait for the affair to be exposed. But Collin blackmailing Devon was funny. Devon trying to out him in front of the family was so disgusting. I mean he’s the one screwing Neil’s wife lol Gosh I hate Devon and will hate him until my last day on earth 

I forgot that Avery was Phyllis sister. Does she ever get mentioned? And what about Dylan being Paul’s and Nikki’s son? I haven’t heard from him either. Weird.

Mariah-Kevin?? That was a story? I forgot about it but was pleased with their friendship and crushing on each other.

so Many people hate Y&R for no reason and being dead since the 00’s or since bell died but this stuff was well grounded and balanced and good written. I can wait for February 2015..  Jessica Collins is one of the prettiest women I’ve ever seen tbh and that Lily actress. Wow. What a well trained body she has in that scene with cane. Sage, Sharon and Chelsea are top women too. This cast is so pretty 

Got away lightly if u ask me and I know no one asked lol

I watched some Scenes with Amber! I wish they would finally bring Amber back. If it’s not on B&B then bring her back to Y&R.

I hated how they shoved these 2 down our throats during the 40th anniversary episode when it should have been about veterans 

I was like 5 or 6.. My mom loved Days, B&B and Atwt. I had to watch it with her and I kinda liked Atwt but damn. I don’t know what it was but this Mark guy annoyed the living hell out of me and never ending dragging love story of him and Connor.. They were like in every freaking episode and on the air every freaking day. I never saw any chemistry. I mean u don’t really notice such things as a young boy but that was something I immediately noticed. The whole storyline was annoying and dragging 

Everytime some rare episodes pop up from 1993-1998 I’ll download them but idk if I ever watch some of them or ff them lol

GH is so boring with the ‘new’ writers! Of course viewers tuned out. Nothing happens.

So technically like all of the other soaps at the moment

Rena Sofer can go away any time now. She’s as annoying as ever. Take those nails and vamooosh!!! Ugh! 
Kristen Storms can go away, too. I tweeted these opinions to Frank. FYI. 

I kinda miss Rena on B&B tbh

Are there any actual fans of this Chancellor-Winters “business” story? It’s completely unwatchable. Not even having Jill and Mamie making appearances can save this story from being a sinking stinker.

Amen!

No. But I’m confused anyway with all those companies on this show and what they actually are there for lol Devon is hella boring, Those firings for personal issues stuff is so lame. Don’t feel it.

@kalbir Like u said: to you! But Nick happened and is/was popular and the shick-pairing was a success. That’s your personal preference there. It’s like when a lot of people don’t like/hate Taylor swift but she did happen too. Just because a portion of people don’t like an actor/character doesn’t mean he or she didn’t happen to the majority

I don’t get it either. There are and have been so many more actors and actresses that have annoyed me ten times more. He’s Nick to me and I wouldn’t want a recast. 
 

Trevor isn’t bothering me on Y&R either. But I’m a TSJ apologist.

Hey I loved TSJ on OLTL and don’t noticed that back then and thought his acting was good especially with his teen daughter etc. 
But on Y&R he’s like just 40% invested lol 

Like Kahn said there are moments where he just checks out and u can clearly see that. The proposal episode was so hard to stomach and if it wasn’t for Audra‘s actress I would’ve fast forward those scenes even though I like them both as actors. She really fought through that damn scenes lol

Welcome to the Trevor St. John Experience, everyone.

He wasn’t like that on OLTL or at least not that much as I remember lol

Zuleyka Silver is a goddess.  The character of Audra was more interesting at first, but even when she is written with less fire, Zuleyka somehow finds a way to show Audra's inner fire.

I can't stand Tucker.  I find Trevor St. John to be annoying and smug.  
So I don't want to see Audra with him at all.  Audra deserves better!

I loved Trevor on OLTL so much and was excited when he joined last year.

At first he was alright but he seems so bored with this material and is kinda phoning it in.

Zuleyka is a fabulous actress and beautiful too. U could tell 2 weeks ago when Tucker proposed. Trevor seemed so zoned out and unconvincing in his lines while Zuleyka did her hardest to bring those scenes to life as Audra. That’s why I was wondering how people feel about the character in general.

I do think a better pairing is needed for her or Trevor has to get it together. Idk. Sometimes I like Tucker-Audra and sometimes it’s just cringeworthy when just one of the couple is actually giving a damn about acting and bringing it to life lol It’s like a trainwreck where u just can’t look away from. I don’t remember Trevor ever being this lazy on his acting 

How do people feel about the Audra character?  

Maybe I was too young but I actually enjoyed and loved Grayson McCouch as Dusty Donovan on Atwt. I don’t get the hate he got  

Grayson was one of the better actors at daytime back then and I loved with so much between 2005-2008

B&B has turned into a satire of soaps.

Still more tolerable than what Days of our lives has become lol

I really don't want to go down this road again because we've covered it before. However, so many on this board insist on calling this a rape that I have to again voice opposition to that.

Yes, the story is horribly written. It is awful in every respect, and I can understand why people talk about consent, etc. However, I do not think it's fair to call this a rape without examining every step and every fact. I don't think any justice system would convict Zende of rape.

Luna put herself in Zende's bed. She was impaired BUT HE DID NOT KNOW THAT. We have to assume that he was also drinking. She willingly agreed to have sex. Did she know it was Zende? No, but that is irrelevant. ZENDE thought she was saying yes to him. She NEVER said no or tried to stop him.

When "Zende raped Luna" is mentioned on this board, someone who hadn't watched those scenes would think there was sexual assault. That is not what I saw and that is not what happened.

I  have nothing good to say about the writing on BOLD. Nothing. Bradley Bell is scum for writing those scenes and that scenario. Was anything about that story realistic? No. But it also wasn't rape.

I am beyond sympathetic to any victim of sexual assault/sexual violence, but to me it's beyond overboard to call this a rape. I don't think that word should be thrown around like that.

I don't expect to get any support here for my take, because this board seems to have passed judgment and then some. I'm sorry for opening this up again, but with the total mess this story is, I do not understand wanting to convict someone of rape and calling him a rapist.

 

Fair enough.. But as I know Bold and the beautiful they won’t call it rape either. But the way Zende behaved weeks ago gave me the impression that he knew what he was doing. Using a intoxicated girl. Yes she said yes etc. 

But the way he even said to RJ to forgive her makes me think they don’t go the rape route either lol I haven’t read any spoilers yet.

To be fair Luna always looked like she is about to cry since she joined the show

Am I alone in the feeling that this 2024 the show feels lost... Like I don't really feel a sense of going somewhere. It's like I'm watching something that will not be even remembered five years from now. Like a complete dead period.

Is this all Bradley has to offer - stories about mints and toes? 

I feel you. Hell even Wyatt‘s exit was so boring. He left and didn’t even really said bye to his brother and father and just had a scene with Luna/RJ and heading off. 
 

addiction itself is always a great topic to cover on soaps but Bold and the beautiful‘s acting has been so dreadful for a while. RJ I can get behind and Luna. But Zende is always speaking his lines so weirdly and don’t get me started on Poppy lol 

38 minutes ago, ranger1rg said:

LOL It is. It's worth watching only as a comedy.

Also, while people are losing their sh_it over JH's acting as RJ, Luna has been wearing the same pouty crying face for an entire WEEK.

I mean she was raped though.. nothing to smile about

They seem to be dragging to appease May sweeps expectations. But unless that damn wedding leads to a massacre, I am not interested in it or this couple. 
 

 

Michael Easton is as charismatic as a piece of rotting wood. I hate seeing him on this show and have no use for this character. 

So much Michael hate. I love him and he proofed time and time again that he can act but with what exactly? Writers seem not interested in his character and he doesn’t give a damn and takes the paycheck and is phoning it in. I wish Hayden would return for him. They were fire.

There is much more left in him… and he has great hair! I would miss seeing his hair 

I know people won’t agree and think I’m stupid but I loved the Steffy vs Hope feud from B&B

and Taylor vs Brooke!

Liam is the worst thing that ever happened to Bold... after Bradley Bell. 

WTH? Liam was fine for his first few years but it happens when writers won’t let his character grow. When he joined and Lope started + Steffy it was definitely a refreshing take for this show and the younger generation/audience. But after nearly 15 years that character is exhausted but I would never say he’s the worst thing that ever happened to bold coz there was great stuff with him going on between 2010-2013/14. 

RJ is growing on me. I don’t even think that the acting is that bad. Ofc there is room for improvement. I’ve met LA youngsters and people in their 20‘s (coz I’ve been one of them lol) and they definitely behave/act like RJ‘s, Luna‘s.. 
 

Its such a shame that GH wasted SK as AJ and killed him off and he has to put up with Bold‘s even crappier story’s for him lol
