2017 - 19 Was Losing Dylan, Feud with Nikki Reignited, Romance With Scott, Feud With Lauren, Being Cheated On By Him With Abby, JT Squad, Reuniting With Nick but Leaving him at the altar for sleeping with Phyllis, Beginning Of Her Romance With Rey, Being imprisoned by JT's Murder, Reunion With Adam

Again I'm more familiar with These later years than with the rest!

Thank u so much. I’ll start with January 2015 then.. I remember I watched a few Sharon/Dylan episodes back then. Must be the same time when Justin Hartley returned as Adam, right? I quite enjoyed Sharon and SBu together.

u helped me so much. Thank u again

It all depends on your tastes! 2010 - 12 was Maria Bell's Reign of Madness with Lots of Adventures, 2013 - 17 was A Bit More Grounded but overall entertaining, 2018 - 20 Was OK, Post Pandemic Y&R is pretty dull for me though

2013-2017 sounds a bit more like what I’m looking for right now.. Is there a year where Sharon was a bit more used between 2013-2017?

I think the story would have been so much better if Belle was the one doing the abusing. After all, growing up in a family like the Dingles would be enough to seriously mess anyone up. It would also be a wonderful opportunity to make the rest of the Dingles take a long, hard look at the way they are so quick to resort to violence, and how it has shaped the younger generations. Not only Belle but also Aaron (another one very quick to use his fists) and even Kyle.

That might actually be a Dingle-story worth watching. 

That would’ve been so great. But what if they make us believe that Tom is the evil one when it was Belle all along? Lol Nah they won’t hurt a Dingle’s reputation..

But im waiting for schizophrenic Belle to return. Tom has no idea who he’s messing with. She’s more dangerous than Cain coz of her illness. Hope the writers make go full shizo-mode lol

What would be a great year for me to start? I have watched like 1986 for months and I’m loving every second of old school Jill! And the other story’s 

But I would like to watch some newer stuff like from the 2010’s. What year would be the best to start? 

I’ve finally watched November 2016. 
What a great month. Morgan’s funeral and death still hanging over us and I loved it.

u can hate or love them but the acting of Mo and Laura was top notch. Jax came back for the 636383th time for a short arc so that we figure out a bit of his involvement in Joslyn’s kidney story and a grief kiss with Carly + concern over Alexis. I enjoyed him quite a bit again. 
The writers have developed Nelle slowly into a schemer against her beloved Carly she was so thankful for and against Sonny. It didn’t came off randomly and felt natural developed. I still don’t get the hate Nelle got  

What bothered me was the fake-sex she staged. There were so many deep talks/conversations between Nelle and Sonny where a REAL hook up would’ve made sense and even would’ve felt natural. What a shame the writers decided to go for a fake hook up. A real one would’ve created much more drama. BUT I do enjoyed to see Bobbie getting on to Nelle and sensing that she ain’t as nice as she seems to be.

Valentin took over the show and he’s so charming. He won the custody battle against Griffin. I love Griffin but I don’t why but I did rooted for Valentin. Charlotte is such a sweet kid and I adore her more than the obvious favorites! 
 

I love Cynthia Watros since GL and a bit as Nina BUT oh gosh. Everytime I see Michelle as Nina it breaks my heart. She was the real Nina and made u feel things. I loved the deep conversations between her and Valentin. We learned some backstory’s and got some real and natural chemistry going on. Gosh I miss her on GH.

But I do wonder about child actors.. Do they get confused to tell like 3 actors daddy? Like Charlotte ? Lol

the little story about Morgan’s pills got us some great scenes from Lucy Coe. Lucy messing with Ava and even playing along with Scott just to let him end up empty handed was amazing. I love Scotty and Lucy but I also ship Ava/Scott. I was with Lucy.. How could Scott try to betray a life long friendship with Lucy for Ava? Lol but good scenes regardless.

they have brought back Elizabeth’s rapist Tom Baker. I enjoyed the episodes. It gave Roger Howarth finally some more serious scenes to deal with. He’s so good in acting quirky and funny but the minute he’s concerned about his love of his life he gets all  Psycho. The way he sneaked into Tom’s house and attacked him really made me chuckle because that rapist deserves it. Liesl trying to make Franco stop spying on Tom with that app was such cute scene.

I hate Alexis character ever since they’ve decided not to let her be a real Cassadine! But in this month I actually felt for her. That year she went through so much [!@#$%^&*] and Julian just won’t leave her alone. I still can’t believe Julexis fans would’ve been fine with a reunion. The Hell? But her alcoholism story was handled well and NLG really pulled it off and reeled me back into her character. The thanksgiving episodes where she struggled to keep her hands off the booze made me feel Sorry for her. That she took off and got drunk and hit Julian with a car was so epic! He had it coming even though it was an accident. I really forgot how annoying Julian could be. I always loved him but he got on my nerves in 2016.. Now there was a twist that he seemed to be working for someone. Interesting. He didn’t came back to the crime syndicate for Ava . He had no choice. Interesting!

Finn-Tracy-Hayden are such a hilarious trio and Hayden got infected with the same disease like Finn.   
 

Didn’t expect anything else. Probably paid for the win.

Emmerdale will always have a special place in my heart and I hated this show ever since Meena left and nothing really lived up after it tbh. It’s a shocking stunt story after another and it just won’t stop.

It‘s so hard to love Emmerdale like I used to. It’s a love and hate relationship at this point.

But what I actual enjoy is Belle. The Tom-Belle story hits home coz I’ve been in a relationship like this before. Not as brutal or whatever but it was toxic and unhealthy. I feel for Belle and the acting is top notch. I will stick with Emmerdale and want to see how this will unfolds.

It‘s a shame they used a KING-family member again to ruin  

What I really hope for this story is Belle‘s illness coming back through and finishing him off tbh ! That would please me so much. I know people here don’t like the Dingles and I’m not fond of them either but Belle is the best character of that clan tbh

It depends how you see it. Many viewers believe that "their" GL started in 1983.

I hated the changes lol.  

Tbf i started GL with 1983 episodes and it hooked me straight away. I think what really hooked me was the picture with the mysterious women that looked like Annabelle! Tony Reardon + Annabelle‘s story involved all family’s of the show and I was so excited. Eli Simms that came after them was pretty dope

Nola and Quinton were so hilarious

and we had the introduction of Billy Lewis and Mindy and they were such great asset to the show for me. Billy and Vanessa‘s Lovestory and bickering was great.

We had Philip-Mindy-Beth-Rick‘s younger crowd with a high profile story and Bradley Raines. That was definitely an a-class story

Why did u hate the changes?

Wow they let go of Cindy! The legendary Cindy but keep Misbah? Are u kidding me?

some were furious and even walked out from set for the day. I mean they bring back unneeded characters but axe Cindy? Bruh

Unter Uns has become so boring. AWZ has been dead weight for ages. I didn’t even noticed that Maximilian has been gone again lol 

GZSZ is doing OK but it’s not as entertaining as it used to be.

Was that the picture on Easter/April Fool's? I know some think that was just a joke.

Chris will be back in April .. That picture of Chris looking like a homeless person was definitely no April fool‘s. 
 

I wonder if Harry will return?

The story about the budget cuts at TVNZ do make me wonder. I also wonder if this is why Chris is gone, along with TK last year. More of the show is focusing on new (and in some cases very bland) characters. I am happy Boyd is back, he's one of my favorite characters, but I'm worried he is back to be killed off.

But Chris will be back and they posted a picture of him. I was surprised that so many thought Chris would leave like this. I knew he won’t leave right now. But those budget cuts make me very nervous. I like Boyd being back too and Marty became much more calmer and relaxed with Boyd and him working together 

Gosh the last few weeks were so good and made me feel so sorry for Chris! I really hope this show won’t get cancelled

This is trippy.. With Shorty being uploaded from the first episode they searched for the baby that appeared in the first episode LOL They actually tracked her down in England. That’s wild 

As much as I loved the story but the revelation of who the text message killer was on GH was a bit of a letdown and so dissapointing lol

How long were Zack & Stacey around? I keep wondering if their story was supposed to go anywhere, and if if was, were they done in by either the writers strike or the apparent decision to mostly stick with what they had in terms of hospital-based characters?

I am currently in August 1981 and they were just introduced. It feels like Stacey was thrown in just to give Noah and Bobbie a bit more of jelousy drama. Zack has been in it for a month by now and he is just THERE. Whatever plans they have or had at this point seem to be completely dropped already lol he is just a new Doctor hanging around with the younger adults (Claudia, Amy, Bryan, Bobbie, Noah) at the disco and eating pizza and dancing with them. 
 

What I could figure out was that he is around until 1982. It feels like they were just introduced to fill some spaces coz Laura wasn’t with the younger adults anymore and involved in high profile story’s. And Jeff and Diana left and they needed some characters filling up that space

Thank u so much.. Wow she was a temp. Nikki. I can see that.

It’s a great cat and mouse game. And I actually like Brooke Bundy as Diana. I know she was not really a popular recast. I like Peter too, one of a few legacy actors left before he is killed off. I remember being so excited when I finally got to watch the entire LSD episode on YouTube.

I watched the entire last year of Brooke Bundy and didn’t knew the OG Diana but Brooke wasn’t a bad recast. I don’t get why she wasn’t more popular. I’m still upset that Jeff left and Diana got murdered coz with Robin‘s Heather we could’ve had such a great feud between Heather vs Diana with Jeff in the middle. All we got was a paranoid and annoying Anne Logan that was more whacko than Heather. Lol

Can someone from the Soap Community help me out with a name: I can’t find to seem to find the actress name of that character Nurse Stacey Rawlins that got introduced in 1981. It drives me nuts. Dr Zack Stewart I was able to find out but nothing about Stacey Rawlins

That Lily girl is so irritating and annoying lol

Gosh that story is horrifying…

I bet it will drag on til Christmas and Tom gets killed and everyone thinks it was Belle coz of an schizophrenic attack or something like that lol

But kudos to these two. They are working their butts off with this material

Grace will be brought back! Nice! 

Stella vs Harry was the best acted scene in years on Shorty! And now it’s Chris vs Stella.

There are rumors that short might come to an end and it would break my heart

but funny that all of Chris kids are screw ups:

Harry - Fraudster (potential murderer.. But I bet there is a twist coming)

Phoenix - Embezzler

Sass - Murderer

Frank - Drug Dealer

Finn - Wife Beater

Nah that’s not it! That’s not how u handle your show..

END IT! Just END it

Omg yeeeees! More classic shorty ! Gosh early Rachel.. More early Nick and Kirsty

I thought just 5 episodes ? They already uploaded 16 LOl nice 

No surprise! Ghosts is fresh and a great adaption from the UK Version

Jamie Lomas doesn’t like the changes and is out! He will leave later that year but the door will be left open for him to return.

There is a rumor that James might get killed off!

Bruh… I’m at this point: Just cancel that damn show already !
