I mean, at this point, Biden has the ability, authority, and immunity to hold onto power in November, even if he loses, correct? He has immunity to wipe out his political opponent, all Trump appointed judges, hell even all Republican members of congress... all in the name of protecting the good ol' US of A. They're ALL a threat to democracy. Side note: What's the best city in Canada to live in? At this point, I am preparing for the worst which means having an escape plan I can put into place before January 20th.

They really need to put some love, attention, money, and well-mapped long-range solid storytelling into Y&R and B&B to beef up their soap line-up. The more eyeballs that get used to coming back to those shows, the better the chance of getting them to sample The Gates or at least see some ample promotion to get them intrigued.

Man, I forgot most of that. It's hard to visualize when all of it likely took place in the same blue room, just with the trash can moved to the opposite side in some settings.

Yes, it's mainly DAYS and B&B (with 1 or 2 weeks of AMC inching up there) battling it for No. 2 from August '95 through February '96 when DAYS begins its streak that doesn't end until December '97. I remember the most random things, lol.

Ohhhh, okay I remember those. I thought it might have to do with barely legal twink-boy interns in the offices at Bravo 😂

... and the finale of the Possession, along with the Carrie/Austin botched wedding by Sami, Peter Reckell's return, etc. puts DAYS nicely at No. 2 for the whole four-week stretch. It's because this is exactly when I started watching DAYS and we were a Nielsen family. J/K

So RHOBH will be the Y&R of Housewives. BTW, what are the Andy allegations? I actually haven't heard of any.

Well in that case, as we compare soaps to Housewives, we're about to enter the 2008-2011 era, As The Dominoes Fall... only the strong will survive.

Yowsers, the week of 7/3 - 7/7 is rough across the board! Week of 7/10 - 7/14, is this the beginning of the Loving Murders? Their numbers went up and only one-tenth away from a very rough week for Another World.

Meanwhile, they kept Jenn Aydin around... I'm more than ready for that one to be shown the door. As for RHOA, with all the disappointment already with delayed filming, ho-hum casting decisions, and missing out on the juicy tidbits of Porsha's imploding life, I'm wondering if they end up scrapping it and it becomes another Ultimate Girls Trip 4, never to see the light of day.

I find it funny that both Bill and Poppy barely recognized each other when they first bumped into one another and now they've got a lovechild from a wonderful, unforgettable encounter some 20 years back...

Watching Ava vs. Clyde at Camp Happy Trail or whatever and couldn’t help but notice the trees are resting up against the blue sky. LOL. This show…

Big ouch to GL's 4.0 already. Y&R folks, it seems they lost the most ground immediately after the OJ Ford Bronco chase drama. Was there a major shift in story quality? They went from getting 9's in early '94 and staying in the 8's, and then June '94 hits and they're suddenly staying put in the mid 7's.

B&B sure loves to break up their interracial couples off-screen. First was Donna & Justin, now Katie & Carter.

My first thoughts were GL's Josh Lewis and DAYS' Bo Brady.

With lighting already showing our favorite Salemites in an unflattering manner, the makeup team also needs to tone down on the yellowish makeup they use around the eyes of some of our 40+ actors. It's obvious the most on Dan Feuerriegel, but is also quote noticeable on Eric Martsolf, Billy Flynn and others.

LOL, we have one in our living room and all it does is collect dust.

And despite all the hoopla of the Possession storyline, we will see it was actually the Aremid storyline in the latter half of '95 that puts them ahead of the AMC/B&B/GH pack consistently.

Finally finished out May, lol. An episode with a Dallas Pam/Bobby shower "It was all a dream" throwback, and ending with Blake Berris trying his best to recreate Louise Shaffer's work doing Serena/Josie Faraday on The Edge of Night. Meh, so many plot holes in this mess.

Ugh, I wish they hadn't thrown her away not once but twice (2006, 2012). The first time was because Reilly 2.0 wanted a 2.0 of Carrie/Austin/Sami/Lucas. The second time being a(nother) cast purge of most folks they brought back for the touted 2011 "reboot." Both were poor decisions, IMO.

Agreed. Jake never should've been created, and Stefan should've stayed dead. Barash was merely there to finish out the original story, and that's where it should've ended.

That would be a great idea to explore which means it totally won't happen.

The Devil comes to Salem...

Rumor Mill has it that Bravo is looking to keep NJ's Teresa, Dolores, Rachel, and Jenn Fessler next season and ditch the rest. Meh... Quite honestly, I'm over Teresa Guidice and I'm tired of seeing her rewarded year after year with continued employment at Bravo where she is no doubt paid a pretty penny.

Agreed. For example, in the OG possession storyline, there was never any reference to the film The Exorcist and everything was played straight and serious; no cheeky comments or wink-winks to the audience.
