GH: December 2023 Discussion Thread
I'll sign on to most of this, but I just can't with Spinelli. I think he outlived his stay years ago, and I don't think he and Maxie have anything left.

Y&R: December 2023 Discussion Thread
I don't think Sharon and Chance work, but I'm not a fan of Summer and Chance, either. I think she's much too immature for him, and I don't see the chemistry.

B&B: December 2023 Discussion Thread
Ronn Moss left B&B in 2012. For him to talk vaguely about show "politics" is laughable at this point. He's 71, so I think he should start spitting that tea asap.

I thought LC sounded fine, but I think The show could have done a much better job in staging her. They put her in a high-backed chair, making her look smaller and more frail than she needed to appear. A simple change like a lower-backed chair would have made so much difference.

B&B: December 2023 Discussion Thread
That's mY problem with the video of Ronn Moss's rant. If you're going to vent about why you left the show, don'T be so opaque and mention "the politics of the show" and "the decoration (HUH???) of the show." If it's salary, say "salary."

Then it was definitely a double shot with both Finn and RJ. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell us all we care about are hot guys. I just think Joshua Hoffman has mastered the art of "Acting With Hands in Pockets."

DAYS: December 2023 Discussion Thread
So just 6 more months of the crap we're getting now??? In other news, that Sloan threat to Nicole at the end of today's show was so poorly delivered. Too fast, too lacking in emotional power and impact. Rushing out of the room was a bad choice, and it would have been better for Sloan to warn and threaten Nicole and just stand there staring at her. Jessica Serfaty just has to do better.

2023 Daytime Emmys Live Discussion Thread
Ratings were predictably terrible -- an 0.14 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.03 million viewers. That's about half the size of Shark Tank's ratings and also less than the soaps draw every day of the week.

2023 Daytime Emmys Live Discussion Thread
Sorry if I'm offending anyone with my opinions. But they're just that -- opinions. Asking Errol to "take out the trash" because I disagree with others is just ridiculous. IRONY IS DEAD. Please note that while I criticized the show and Emmy wins and winners, posters here have criticized ME. Look, I can take it and I don't really care, but acting as if I'm some devil and they're applying for sainthood is kind of hysterical.

Other Emmy thoughts: --ANOTHER disappointing Daytime Emmys ceremony. The stars were dressed to the nines and there to shine, but given very little in return. -- Get real fans back into the room. They'll show more excitement when they hear from the people who love them. -- The hosts were fine but not needed. Soap viewers want to see SOAP stars, not ET anchors. That skit in the open was dumb. It made no sense and took up valuable time. -- The banter written for soap stars giving awards was CRINGE and took too long. Dump it. Get more soap stars on that stage. -- Doing an In Memoriam with a song that's not well-known is just stupid, as is labeling the deceased with egregiously incomplete information. -- Clips. Actor reels. That's all we ask for -- EVERY YEAR -- and yet no one listens to us. "They" all think they know better, and they don't. This isn't difficult. Just talk to real soap fans and ask what we want, then give it to us. I never get the sense that anyone in production is in love with the soaps.

I'm crying HERE -- the same as you. Regardless, IN MY OPINION, 3 Lead Actress Emmys for a 36-year old is ridiculous. And if you're calling MCE "pure Emmy bait," then what the hell was JMW's 2-day addiction problem where she wailed at the camera? JMW got called out years ago for her right wing LIKES on social media. I guess she' learned her lesson, because she doesn't do it any more. Now it's more subtle, as in "Shout out to Kimberlin Brown!"

THREE Lead Actress awards for JMW already? I'm sorry, but that is overload, and not deserved. Even though the Chelsea character is worthless 98% of the time, MCE was superb in that "I want to die" storyline. She deserved that Emmy. And I GAGGED when JMW thanked Kimberlin Brown. OF COURSE the right wing MAGA woman would thank the other most MAGA person in the cast. So the Chelsea story was a stunt but lighting Holly on fire wasn't? LOL

But that's the way the Younger Performer category was set up, so it IS fair. If one of the "kids" won, the other "kid" would cry. You can't give awards away with the idea that "you can't hurt little kids." The song used for the In Memoriam was completely underwhelming. No emotional impact at all. We really did. And while I appreciated the Tyler Christopher tribute and the multiple references to Sonya Eddy, I wanted others -- like Billy Miller and Jaclyn Zeman -- to be given the same respect. That didn't happen. Agree. Another ridiculous award (after giving Hat Daddy the Supporting Actor Emmy). Thorsten Kaye??? Really??? This is his 3rd nomination for Lead Actor since 2020. WTF.

Of the outfits so far: -- Melody Thomas Scott looks great. --Melissa Ordway looks too old. -- Brytni Sarpi. WTH is that? -- Annika Noelle is a disappointing mess. -- Ashley Jones looks incredible. -- Heather Tom needs better hair and makeup. -- LaLucci looks good, but that's a lot of Botox.
