Kinda similar to people mentioning Vanessa's age and aging looks and the age difference between Matt & Vanessa on GL during the late 90's Paul Rauch era...

Days of Our Lives: March 2022 Discussion Thread
So stupid. Sarah does not have Renee's memories; she does not have Renee's eyeballs. It's literally hearsay. It's like me reading "Anne of Green Gables" and suddenly thinking I'm Anne Shirley living with Marilla and Matthew at Green Gables. Marilla could look like Sharon Stone or Sharon Gless. How would I know the difference?

Yeah, we know Y&R likes to poach back the ones they released once they strike a cord on another show (See: Greg Rikaart)

If you can't take the heat, get out of the driver's seat. What a petulant child.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Very colorful, for sure. For the most part, not over-the-top as we've seen from other franchises, but after seeing Jen Shah and Meredith on SLC, I'm down for something more subtle. I'll give Gina props for not doing the standard dress route and changing it up. I like her hair finally. Jen is pretty. Heather looks fine. Looks like Shannon finally lost some weight in her face or the contouring gods did wonders. Emily should not have worn something that makes her shoulders look bigger, that's all I'll say on that part. I'm two episodes behind on this show. Been beaching it in Puerto Vallarta all week. Time to play TV catch-up!

Most Improved Actors From Their Soap Debuts
That's who I came here to say. Never thought that bland waitress at Salem Place would blossom into a fabulous leading lady.

Side Methinks the lady doth protest too much. You know you wanna hit it. lol [Side Note: Saying "lady" is because of the Shakespeare phrase, and not a personal gender reference to anyone.] But in all seriousness, I don't get why some of y'all are so hard on Alan Locher (well, actually, I have my theories). He's doing something for the daytime community that no one else has bothered to do.

So looks like Lisa's mad at Bravo for including that hot mic moment. Welcome to modern-day Housewives; the 4th wall has been torn down!

Harrowing soap moments
Though it happens off-camera, you could hear slaps, punches and cries in the Season 3 finale of Melrose Place, when Jo's abusive boyfriend Jesse (Jake's brother) beats the living daylights out of her and leaves her clinging to life on the bathroom floor. It always sends chills up my spine.

Recasts You Think Could've Worked
Ooh I like that idea. On DAYS, Cynthia Watros as Kristen DiMera (during these more recent years with Eileen not available/interested)

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
RE: Candiace: On one hand, I wouldn't mind seeing her punished by getting fired from Potomac. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing her punished by getting ganged up by the entire cast for one last season of her comeuppance.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Before I get into OC, I have to laugh at Dr. Jen and the usually shirtless hubby with his toy chihuahua always in his arms because that is SO me, lol. As we watched the early episodes of this season, my hubby pointed out that I do that ALL the time with my darling lil Coco (see avatar photo). Any discussion, good or bad, Coco's in my arms (well arm actually, cuz she's so tiny). But I digress... I think we're up to episode 9 now of OC? And I can honestly say, this is still a rebuilding year, with the cast seemingly on their own islands. Half-way through the episode, I thought: they really need Tamra back. SOMEONE that helps connects the old (Shannon, Heather) with the newish (Gina, Emily), and help stir things up with the brand newbies (Noella, Jen). Because this crop of women still feels very disjointed. Honestly, sometimes I don't know where Shannon fits in anymore. Gina & Emily, the two we all were lukewarm about during their early years, are the two ships that help navigate the story and tie everyone together. It seems like a chore for Heather to hang with anyone, and really it is; it's a job. It shouldn't feel that way to us viewers though. Noella is just too much too soon. She has beef with half the cast and turns on the ones who are in her corner. Shannon is the one she hasn't targeted yet. Noella's on track to ice herself out of the group before the end of her first year. She's messy and too much, which means she'll cool off in her second year, similar to Jennifer over on New Jersey.... if she's back another year. Jen is nice, and I wouldn't put her in the Terri DeMarco desperation category, but she isn't really popping. So I dunno. It all feels very disjointed and inorganic, even in Housewives' world.

That was in reference to all the trashy talk shows that were all the rage in the 90's.

B&B February 2022 Discussion Thread
I could've sworn at one point on B&B, Hunter Tylo was sporting a haircut just like Krista Allen's current 'do. Anyhow, she looks great now and she fits in great as Taylor. Hunter who?

Name a Critical Year on a Soap
Yes & Yes. It's a shame the momentum GL had gained back in 2002 was squandered in early 2003 with the Ellen Weston/John Conboy combo. Millee Taggart did a fantastic job as the showrunner in 2002.

That was my thought, too. Carter/Paris/Zende is weak sauce, they needed a 4th party to come in and cause a stink. Normally that sort of role is given to Katie Logan.

B&B February 2022 Discussion Thread
I'm glad Krista Allen was finally able to ditch the Kim Zolciak-like mop on her head. Paris' mom is going too hard on Carter. I mean, I can understand her not liking him because of the Zoe thing, but if she were to "reveal" that Carter is kissing Paris, what's the real consequence? Paris and Zende are both mutually dating other people. Or at least, Zende's extracurricular activities are well known, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If Eric and Ridge can forgive Carter for screwing Quinn, they'll barely blink an eye over him kissing an armadillo (sorry... she kisses weird). Side Note: Exactly why did Sheila target Brooke so much? Isn't Steffy a greater threat at keeping her away from her son and grandchild?

Days of Our Lives: February 2022 Discussion Thread
+1. Paul Narita was the best part of the Will/Sonny/Paul triangle. I love that Christopher Sean has a longstanding appreciation for the show and Drake as his onscreen father. Paul was apparently conceived around the same time as Will. While struggling with his newfound priestly responsibilities and keeping his urges for Kristen under control, he randomly boffed Paul's mama who wandered into St. Luke's church. I mean, sure, I guess. LOL

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
NJ: I enjoyed the premiere. Their interactions certainly seem more organic than some of the other franchises (OC, I'm looking at you). So on one hand, I think the Budget Coven have a right to want to ice out Jennifer because she talked madcore sh*t at the reunion, including baseless claims (i.e. Margaret started the rumor with zero proof of said accusation). I think it's a good beginning to a new season and the tension seems more real than conjured up as petty arguments for the sake of the show. However, I also like that Jennifer acknowledged she doesn't feel backed up by Tre/Dolores the way Jackie/Melissa/Margaret have each other's backs, so that felt organic too. That said, Margaret blurting out Jennifer's husband's affair was wrong and sloppy and Jennifer's swift reaction of correcting her error ("It wasn't the secretary!", or whatever the real explanation was) was a thing of beauty. She owned it without missing a beat. So a big +1 to Jennifer on that (and you guys know I prefer Margaret overall). Another bad mark on the Budget Coven was making fun of the nose job. It just wasn't necessary, and we know a good two of the three have needed time post-surgery to have their work settle. Hell, I'm still on the fence about Margaret's new face. That mouth/jawline looks like it's about to rip if she opens her mouth too wide. I actually have not seen Teresa's man's video (sorry, I'm blanking on all the men's names today). Is it worth googling? WOW at the young ladies Teresa's little girls are becoming. The tiny one has gone from scrappy tomboy to glamazon preteen. Side note: Speaking of work done, Joe Gorga's lips are quite plumped and his jawline looks to have subtle injections to make it more defined, among other alterations. And a +1 on Frankie Junior. Woof

Oh yeah, I'm getting a Melaswen feeling, with 1/30th of the budget. Which means those giant tree walls from our good ol' town park bench set will be making a comeback.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I'm glad Bravo finally did the right thing. With Jennie at least. Meanwhile, I echo the sentiments here that RHOSLC went from zero to 180 in the toxicity department in record speed. Not only is their reunion already outdated thanks to Mary and Jennie, but Season 3 is going to be a clusterf*ck of alliances. I can barely keep up with who likes who and who doesn't already. Side Note: When Meredith is EXTREMELY upset, it's almost alarming, like there's something wrong with her. Even Ramona Singer doesn't short-circuit like that at her very worst.
