ARTICLE: ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Hits Yet Another New Season High in Total Viewers, New Best Since Pre-Pandemic Originals
This show has a great vibe too it tbh. Storywise it’s mostly repetitive crap but that’s what people want from dramas. Love triangles and some angst thrown into the mix. people don’t watch soaps for complex storys these days and big twists. When they turn into B&B they expect nothing much. They just want to shut down their brain and consume whatever mindless stuff they get from B&B

What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?
Im totally into Spanish Shows on Netflix lately. Rebelde (the sequel to the 2004-2006 Show „Rebelde“ that made it to 440 episodes)! I loved the modern spin on a classic without ruining it. Nostalgic vibes and nods. Great Cast. Can‘t wait for Season 2! Sky Rojo Season 1+2 !!! I really loved season 1 and felt entertained and really intrigued by the simple story and the psychological point of view. The sense of humor was great too. Season 2 on the other hand took a way darker tone. Way too dark for my taste. The writing was top notch though. It seemed to me like the male characters got more depth and focus compared to season 1. But the overall arc was good. But only minus point for me was that Gina’s character got kinda blindsided in season 2. And it has Lali Esposito in it. I love her since the old Casi Angeles Days and even went to a concert in Barcelona still looking forward to season 3 that should be released this year.

ATWT: Marnie Shulenberg dead at 37 :(
What terrible news. She was just 37 I loved her on Atwt. I know people seem to hate Atwt’s final Years But Alison/Marnie made me fall in love with Atwt again and her on screen chemistry with all the others.

Home and Away: Discussion Thread
I finally catched up with the last week of April until now. damn.. Ryder really left. That broke my heart he has been in that show for so long. Mackenzie starts to annoy me a bit. At least Felicity is making up for it! Cash is quiet the interesting character and has a lot of potential They really need to work on Marylins character. I swear to god. She is so likeable and such a sweetheart but then they give her such silly bs like it’s the 80’s all over again. She deserves better. I still can’t believe they split her and John up last year. What I don’t get is why Marylin has always been paired with older dudes (Donald, John etc.) ! And the only pairing that was remotely alright got ruined to prop Roo. (Sid)

German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
I loved the episode so much. It’s in my top 3 anniversary episodes! It still can’t beat the 10th Anniversary in my opinion The end was hella rushed. Like wth? Leon’s involvement was alright but nothing really special. U can really tell that Daniel Fehlow seems quiet over the show at this point. And Katrin and Jo making out ? I mean I always loved them and it is lining up the new storyline but this happened so random. But THANK GOD and a big thank u to the writers for Including a mention of what Jo did to Katrin with Baby Johanna in 2007 where he made her believe that she died. Can’t wait for Tobias/Katrin and Yvonne/Jo to be split up. I never liked Yvonne as his wife. It’s a shame they couldn’t get Jos daughter Vanessa for a cameo at the funeral. I mean the actress is playing on Rote Rosen and could have spared some minutes. I know Paul/Emily have a lot of fans but I do start to like Paul with Gina to be honest!

Shortland Street
Chris harassed a women (Zoe)? Our Dr. Love? And this is the best they could come up with for the 30th Anniversary??? That show dissapointed me once again!

Characters that ATE their Soaps
The Braxtons on the Australian Soap „Home and Away“.. Even though I liked them but they ate the entire show for nearly 5 years. I get that some old time fans were annoyed by that. And Roo Stewart! She got recasted at the end of 2010 and left to return a couple of weeks later In 2011 and she was on for nearly 36 episodes without a break. Got a day off and was on for another 24.. Like wtf? She managed to pull off like 160 episodes a season. That’s too much for an Australian Soap.. Like seriously. She was even on when there was no need. Overused as hell

soap opera sets and set designers
My all time favorite set would be from Dark Shadows: The Collins Mansion and the old house ! I loved that so much especially during the B&W era! On GH: Wyndemere Castle!

German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
It’s such a shame that the writers ruined the Leon/Gerner friendship back in the day (2007-ish) after Gerner faked the death of his own daughter and put Leon in a psychiatric clinic when he came behind it! They should bring back Leon and let him help Gerner. Leon knows how it feels to be locked up in jail for something he didn’t do. (1998 when Charlie accidentally killed Thalberg and had a blackout for weeks) At least Katrin believes Gerner and wants to help him. I love it

Days of Our Lives: April 2022 Discussion Thread
Charlie had potential for at least two whole years of storylines. he had a rape baby with Allie, a feud with his brother Tripp, a mother (Ava) that didn’t loved him. that guy had more story potential than Ben since he got back with Ciara lol

German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
Rufus Sturm is back on Unter Uns! He looks really good and refreshed. The break did. him good. I just hope he ain’t sticking around long time again coz they didn’t knew what to do with him for the longest I can remember. I still hate the writers for ruining Original Character Anna Weigel for that snoozefest Rufus lol
