EastEnders: Discussion Thread
We all know what they were aiming for with this version of Ben.. They wanted their own Emmerdale’s Aaron. I preferred Reid and the one who was Heather in like 2010-2012-ish.

One Life to Live Tribute Thread
i don’t know if anyone appreciates this or enjoys it coz it’s not in English. But I was able to buy some episodes from 1980 for a lot of money of my favorite soap in mY mother language. It’s so nice to see young Tina.. Asa, Sam etc. There are a few missing episodes here and there but overall a great run with even a lot of continuing episodes in a row/even weeks. I will upload more in the next few days. I have episode 3087 and 3089 up already.

ALL: Hope/wishes for the soaps in 2024 except Days which tapes 2 years ahead
Yeah but it’s so frustrating and kinda ruining the flow. I mean I get what he’s aiming for with it: “Fast pace”.. I even think this is for the TikTok generation with an attention span of 12 seconds but everytime u think it’s getting where it’s either a cut to the next scene again or a commercial. It’s so ridiculous lol

I wish people would finally give up on Shirley. Didn’t the actress signed a gig with a morning show? It seems to me she has no desire to hurry back right now

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
But UK People don’t like that tbh. They did with Corrie and the fans complained about how boring it was. lol But I guess those are the same that complain when there is always doom and gloom around Christmas

So we got our next exit tonight with the arrest of the arsonist. That was such a dull ending to a solid character who was wasted anyway. Shame for Kathy

Shortland Street
Poor Rahu! I really liked his character! What is it with the writers and Chris Warners Kids. They kinda screwed them all up with Phoenix the biggest screw up but now Harry takes the cake. Such a shame

ALL: Characters Who Filled the Void of Another
I wouldn’t say she filled the void or was a replacement but it felt like with Hayley on AMc kinda out the door between 2000-2002 they tried to turn Greenlee into the new Hayley. But maybe that’s just me.

ALL: Darkest storylines in soap operas
I remember when i got Guiding Light on here in my country we had the 1983 episodes and the rape of Beth by Bradley Raines was definitely a brutal turning point for the show. The Eli Simms story was heavy too. Oh yes. I couldn’t wait until I got home to watch a brand new episode. It was so exciting coz he was like some likeable grandpa but could turn so vile! It got even better when Lynsey figured him out and he managed to make everyone think she is crazy lol he even set up the epic Branden Brady for Rae’s murder. God how epic was the Lynsey vs Silas back and forth lol I couldn’t miss an episode and was so excited. I was in my teens and shocked how Hollyoaks turned into such complex and well written show. It was always a good teen soap but all of the sudden it became dark. Like real dark 🤣 He had that effect! But it was sooooo good. His cat and mouse play with Lynsey was the best storyline ever! All of 2010-2012 was Hollyoaks in his prime again after 1-2 dull years. Like seriously. Silas saved this show tbh or more the people who created his character and his story. Such a tragedy that one of the most likeable girls with the dullest personalities and story’s got sacrificed for it lol his first victim was not even the real one he wanted to kill. India’s sister was meant to get killed but Texas didn’t felt in the mood for the online date and sent her sister instead and it was Christmas. Really brutal.. The Halloween 2011 twist where he went after Lynsey and Texas was so good and 4 women were wearing a cat women outfit and when he thought he got Lynsey he realized he just murdered his own daughter Heidi! I will never forget how much I cried and how shaken I was after that. I’m a men and I’m not getting so shaken up or emotional messed up but that was so dark especially after the way he strangled Rae a few weeks earlier. So dark.. but so good written. As dull as Hollyoaks became during Covid.. Silas return and Bobby’s arc was the saving grace for this show. I will love Hollyoaks til it gets cancelled someday because I grew up with it since childhood and still love most of of the story’s and it’s heading in a great direction again. But the murdering Bobby was so spectacular! Not as great as 2010/11 Silas but close enough! Now with Silas gone forever I’m dissapointed in the way Mercedes will leave someday lol If Jen/Mercedes will leave someday I wanted Silas to finally kill her. Now the only one I want to do the job is Mitzeee for what she did to her and Riley lol

ALL: Darkest storylines in soap operas
I remember now from my teenage years how dark and depressing the bold and the beautiful became in 2007 and Stephanie Forrester’s kinda involvement that lead to Brooke’s rape. That was just disgusting and turned me off that show so hard. Like wtf ? I felt so sorry for all the actors and actresses involved. It wasn’t even a good storyline at all. and one year later we have the damn eggs storyline with Brooke-Taylor. And killing off Taylor’s daughter Phoebe. Like what was Bell Junior smoking during the mid 2000’s? Honest question

GH: SOD Best & Worst of 2023
I love Sasha. But her tragedies really didn’t affect me. So weird lol I really thought her story’s were good but never cared for it much. Odd. Rebecca Herbst is such a chemistry magnet and so was Michael Easton and on paper Finn/Liz makes sense and should be dynamite as a couple. Somehow it just won’t work and I can’t figure out why? They don’t look bad together. But there is no spark. They look like a couple that has been married for 50 years and are just together coz of old habits and coz they are too lazy to start all over and find someone new and better for themselves.

ALL: Darkest storylines in soap operas
Mid 2000’s on Passions where u had the feeling like there was a serial killings going on and too much rape.. I hated that weird rape year. OLTL and Todd leading the Gang rape on Marty.. I love Roger and he is a fine actor but I never got over this stuff.. That they tried to downplay that and make Marty the lunatic in the end was such a slap in the face to the audience! I was too little to when it aired and my mom switched it off and I saw glimpses of it and remember Todd attacking her in the alley and threatening her. How can we pretend like Todd is so hilarious and such a good daddy in later years and such a misunderstood men? Like F that! And DAYS with the Salem stalker. I was in puberty during those years and that story was so shocking to me. The story was so stupid but dark and yet it saved the show. I’ll admit I was rooting for Shawn-Douglas to nail Marlena when he was on to her. The outcome of that story was the dumbest thing I’ve ever had to witness on any soap.. Yet they got away with it and still get away with their crap. I stopped Days when Gabi left and probably will never return. I suffered enough from this show and this is the show my mom and me watched together. This and Bold were my first two soaps as a child and they ruined it. F them. Like seriously. It belongs to peacock. No one on NbC should suffer through this. Let the hardcore fans go through those dark times lol
