German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
I‘m so happy about Sturm der Liebe and Rote Rosen! The new Sturm der Liebe year started and it’s already more entertaining than last years season. But they said from ARD that if the ratings won‘t change and they get a new audience then it‘s gone. But at least Sturm der Liebe will celebrate the 4000th Episode! Yaaay rote Rosen became quiet boring. I took a break from it after Thomas left. Unter Uns Eventweek… I enjoyed Rolf and his comeback but back in the day it was just a normal week on that show lmao I swear UU became the worst show and I just watch it sporadically

Hollyoaks: Discussion Thread
Maya (The Kidnapper Girl) has a Connection to Fergus.. Probably his daughter or something.. And I thought we could finally get rid of anything related to Fergeus. Ethan was forced to kill Darren! That acting was so bland and really off. I have seen the shittiest acting on Oaks before but that Ethan actor.. oh wow 🤣if they kill my boy Darren then I am out. I managed to get through so many cast overhauls and stupid storylines but Darren was always my favorite.

Hollyoaks: Discussion Thread
I checked out her OnlyFans and it’s nothing special tbh. I think her Hollyoaks Babes Calendar Shots from the 2000‘s were more risky and hotter than her Of 🤣 Her OF feels like her Instagram tbh. i loved Mandy but I hated her ever since the Warren/Mandy affair in like 2007-08 when Louise tried to kill Warren and set her up. When Hollyoaks was fire Gemma A. Returns? I wonder if they mention her spin-off where they killed off her boyfriend Ben. I loved Lisa and Ben! but what is this new Darren Story? Ridiculous.. And why is Nancy acting like Darren is a deadbeat father? I really hate Darren and Nancy together. He screwed up a few times but who can blame that men when your girlfriend is putting you down and treating you like you are an stupid idiot. Darren tried for years to be on Nancy’s Level and nothing was ever good enough. She is toxic as hell and Darren deserves better! I still wonder after all those overhauls how Nancy’s character survived so many years on this show

German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
He was there from #02 to #10 and they brought him back in #71.. yeah u can count him as an OG. But like I said it‘s no big loss coz his character didn’t add much to the show anymore anyway

German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ
Im sorry to hear about the bad environment they have to work on. But it seems like it’s not RTL‘s fault. But the Marian character has been dead weight for years. Ever since he got paired with Lena and the writers didn’t knew what to do with them. Original Cast Member is a stretch.. He joined a few months later

All: Characters you thought would come back but never did
GH Celia Quartermaine Dillon Quartermaine.. Still don’t get it why they didn’t do something with his character. The last actor was so amazing and had so many possibilities.

RIP Lisa Brown
What? Oh wow.. Tylo and now Miss Brown? what an brutal year. i have to say that Nola was hit or miss on GL but overall a great character played by Lisa Brown. (Even though I hated her 90‘s return tbh) i can’t believe it

GH: Classic Thread
Oh i see.. That's quiet a shame coz people celebrate some wrong dates for decades.. I mean at least the month is correct with most of them. I have watched 199 to 202 (#4514 to #4517) in german and those were the thanksgiving 1980 episodes. There was definitley no preemtion during Thanksgiving. Every Episode i have watched and checked with the episodes and scripts i found were correct. That means Robin Mattson as Heather appeared in #4467 from September 17th 1980. - Robert Scorpios first episode is coming up in the next couple of episodes and i will get the confirmation that he definitley didn't join on the tuesday episode December 2nd. And the 149 Episodes you mentioned on the tube were uploaded by me back in 2020. I gave up on it coz those german GH fans pressured me and became so rude. It hurt my feelings after i spent hours of uploading and i gave up.

BBC plans to set new soap North of England
And Holby City has to end FOR THIS? The name of that show sounds like a 16 year old trying to write his own fan fiction or something.

Soaps You Could Never Get Into (It's Not You, It's Me)
Santa Barbara.. What a load of bull... I love Days but even Days is a show that is testing my nerves and lost me this year with that MarDevil Crap.. But SB? I don't know why this show tried to be as campy as possible. It seemed to me like an attention seeking little child who wants to get noticed. There were a few actors&actresses that i enjoyed but i just couldn't love it. I liked the first Santana but she was gone pretty fast and the first Mason was my favorite. I mean i can tolerate campy soaps and campy storylines but SB was just too much. Eden and Cruz were one hell of the most overrated couples ever. 2.Y&R! I love the Cast and i love the show.. I watch it but never long term. This is like a on/of relationship. There are episodes that i am hooked and need to follow Y&R again biut then i am so fed up that i won't watch it for weeks. (But i'll keep up with recaps)

GH: Classic Thread
so i watched 198 episodes of GH in german (that's my mother language) where it aired back in the day.. They started in february 1980 and i am on November 24th. I have two big questions and i don't mean to sound rude or anything but did anyone actually liked Anne Logan back in the day? Like really enjoyed her stint? I watched 198 Episodes from Episode 4316 to 4513 and have the feeling that her character did nothing for the show. She was so damn annoying with her all mighty morals and whinny behavior... I don't know how the relationship will end with Jeff yet but i will get there soon but i can't wait. I heard he slept with Diana and i am so down for it. He had more chemistry with Diana in their scenes they had then with Anne. Anne is all tease but nothing much. And my second question is: What was the intention of Alexandria Quartermaine? Was she introduced to fill Tracy Quartermaines hole? I mean Alexandria feels like a Tracy clone and not really a good one to be honest but i can tolerate her for now. Good thing about it is that we get so see more Edward during those episodes again. If i were a Luke and Laura shipper i would be damn upset right now. I mean they gave us a whole damn Summer of Luke and Laura just to break them up and letting Luke getting involved with that Alexandria Quartermaine and her ice princess business.. They mentioned the Cassadines already by November 1980.. Interesting.

Characters you were surprised to see again
General Hospital: HEATHER WEBBER in 2004! Damn that was one of the most unusual and surprising comebacks of all time back then after that whole 2002-2003 mess where the show lost Stefan Cassadine and Laura Spencer. Felicia Jones in 2012 on GH.. That came off as a big surprise. I have tried to stay away from spoilers between 2010-2012 as much as possible and didn't knew that Kristina Wagner would return. It's a different show but does Amber Moore count? I mean she left in 2005 on B&B just to be brought over to Y&R in 2006.. That was a big surprise. Taylor Hayes in 1994 on B&B after a 6 month break where everyone thought she died during a plane crash and became that Princess.. That was shocking and a welcome surprise!

List of All Television Soap Operas Worldwide
i'm still quiet surprised how much Soaps got created in France in the last couple of years.. That gives me some hope that this genre won't die out. They just have to find a way to hook people again

GH: Classic Thread
I know Luke Spencer is one of the best and most beloved GH Characters in the history of that damn show.. I actually liked him too most of the time. But i rewatched some classics and i am quiet shocked.. Luke and Laura were on the run that summer of 1980 and when they returned Luke treated Laura so poorly coz he felt betrayed by her and didn't gave her a 2nd chance there. I mean that Luke has some nerves. I mean it's not like he raped her and made her life a living hell before they turned into something romantic.. But the minute Laura makes a mistake he is all angry and bitter against her. I hated Luke during the fall of 1980

Grade the Soaps
US Soaps: GH: C... When it's good it is really good and THE BEST SOAP to tune in tomorrow... but when it's bad.. it's unwatchable. Days: D... I really love Days. Always have.. I even thought 2020-21 was really fire with the Charlie Dale story but with the murder story and all those loose ends it became so boring. It has such a great cast and a lot of good ideas but sometimes it doesn't really make sense and doesn't really fit... And don't get me started on that stupid MarDevil story. I know people find it entertaining and funny and blah blah blah.. But it's just an unwatchable mess. Y&R: D.. It ain't that bad like people make it out to be these days.. But something's missing for me. B&B: F... i was a hardcore fan of B&B from 1987 until like 2011/12. The repeatitive nature of the show ain't even an issue for me but i just can't deal with that show anymore these days on a permanent basis. It could be so much more if that Bell guy just gave it up.. UK Soaps: Emmerdale: C..The cast is too loaded and that causes for too many storylines at once but overall it is a good show. Hollyoaks: C... Its not bad but not worth watching on a daily. Coronation Street: D.. Kinda boring.. It's not as special as people make it out to be. Casualty/Holby City: D.. Bland.. EastEnders: A BIG F HERE! That show was one of my favorites when i was a teen and even in my early 20's.. But damn did the writers wrote that show into the ground. I wouldn't even be upset if they cancelled it tomorrow! Sorry not sorry. BBC's Doctors: F... I've tried to get into this show during Lockdown and this is the most boring Soap ever created in history. Like nothing's ever happening.. Like really. NOTHING is happening. German Soaps: Sturm der Liebe: B.. I love that show. It has some dragging parts in it and some repeatitive themes but overall a pretty good show. Rote Rosen: C.. It was a B and one of my favorites for 15 years.. But they fired the longest running cast member who was there since the beginning.. That ruined it for me. Gzsz: C.. It's alright.. But became quiet boring. There are some great storys here and there but that's it. Alles was Zählt: D. Wasn't a fan. I have watched it serval months over serval years but it never grabbed me for the long run. Unter Uns: F! Another show that should've ended YEARS AGO! This show is the best example how to turn a fun family soap into a whole mess that no one cares for anymore. They have tried it serval times to shake things up but it never sticked.. They should just end it. Aussie/NZ Shortland Street; B.. Fun little soap. Home and Away: C.. I love HAA but those cast shake ups are getting old pretty fast. Neighbours: F.. This is a show that should've ended years ago. This show feels like it's on life support and it's not really entertaining. I gave up on it when Paul bribed that Nicolette out of town with that Baby. Such boring storyline

Recasts on shows: good, bad, in between
two of the best recasts on The Bold and the beautiful: Justin Torkildsen as Rick Forrester Winsor Harmon as Thorne Forrester Those two were so outstanding and i really loved them. I never cared for Jacob Young and enjoyed Justin so much more. Jacob will always be loved by me on AMC but not on B&B. General Hospital: Natalia Livingston as Emily Quartermaine... I liked the original one but Natalia took over my heart in an instant. I always understood why KS was beloved as Maxie in the past but i am so over her by now. I really liked her break between 2010/11 when Jen Lilley took over. I will always love Kristen for her portayal of that character Belle on Days but i am over her on GH.. Hell i even enjoyed Molly Burnetts short stint in July 2016. It seems to me that with Kristens Maxie we will never get any character developement at all.

All: Characters you thought would come back but never did
i still think Carlivati/Valentini should've been sued for that crap storyline and that disrespect to the GH-Spin Off 'Port Charles'.. i hate them both so much
-
ALL: Characters you are surprised lasted so long
I have to disagree on Jill.. She was definitley a character people would have suspected to have a long life on that show tbh
-
All: Characters you thought would come back but never did
One of the most important characters that should've been brought back years ago and is still somewhat needed is on General Hospital: Jeff Webber! Why was Jeff never recasted? I mean he even got a damn new daughter in 2015.
-
All: Characters you thought would come back but never did
Stefan Cassadine on General Hospital. I get that because of some Behind the Scenes dispute that the actor Nichols will never return but i really thought he would. Lucky on General Hospital.. I mean a whole decade without Lucky? Come one guys.. It's not like Valentini gives a damn about continuity and tradition and stuff.. He loves to do revisit old storys and stuff and never recasted Lucky? Really? Mike Horton on Days of our Lives! Carlivati is another one that loves to bring back as many people as he can but Mike Horton never crossed his mind? OK.. Surprising. Who i thought should've been brought back were Marie or Sandy Horton on Days of Our Lives. Dru Winters on Y&R.. I get that this was another Behind the Scenes case why that never happened but this should've happened at some point. This was 2007 and Joshua Morrow had some contract dispute himself and was presumed dead for like 3 months. Could u imagine if he wouldn't have returned? That would have been 2 big losses in one year for that show.
