Khan

This is how I feel about yet another actor joining this already bloated cast:

JHC, this one's for you:

This is fantastic news. Not just for BTG and everyone involved, but for the genre as a whole. I just pray this will translate into the networks realizing that maybe people DO need "their stories" after all and that the time is now to develop a new generation of soaps.

Let's be honest: even if Jack were to go to the police, and even if they actually went to the trouble of arresting and convicting Victor, we've been down this road enough times to know Victor wouldn't be in jail for too long before receiving yet another "get out of jail free" card. And once again, TGVN would be back on top.

It was. IIRC, the show was to be called "Reunion." But I don't blame NBC or P&G for passing on the idea, as I think a "costume soap opera" would be expensive to produce everyday, especially if the ratings stay flat. If the idea was to spin off Iris, then I think it would've been more intriguing to see her pull up stakes and relocate to Manhattan, where she'd rub elbows with everyone from wealthy families to struggling artists and everything in between.

I say the same thing about "Reverend Josh" that I say about all half-baked ideas that surprise TPTB when they flop with the folks at home: your audience will go wherever you want them to go, but you must take the time to get them there.

LOL!! Paul Rauch: "Women are more exciting today than they have been." That sounds...icky, for some reason. Rauch was right about one thing, though: families ARE the bedrock of daytime drama. Something that most people who work in the industry (including Rauch himself) seem to have forgotten.

I watched "Hardbodies" way before I hit puberty. I survived, and so would they.

Before or after they've been arrested for speeding the wrong way down the Pacific Coast Highway while hopped up on meth?

I think she would've been fine as Nancy. She isn't the WORST actress in the world, although she probably would've looked like a lightweight next to the rest of the cast. But I do think her Nancy would've been a more playful and comedic than Meredith Baxter Birney's.

I don't care what the scientific community says about DID, or how "unnatural" Victor Lord's relationships with his daughters came across to certain viewers over the years. I will go to my grave insisting Michael Malone and Susan Bedsow Horgan (among others) did that man wrong.

Thank you, @DRW50 !! It's hard to celebrate any anniversary of this show w/o David Doyle or Farrah Fawcett. But I hope Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd have managed to set aside their differences. It's been 50 years, ladies, give or take a few. Who knows how much longer any of us have on this mortal coil?

Or you could say they're large ETSY sellers. Couldn't you see Sonny and Jason making Christmas cat sweaters all hours of the night? I know I could!

So, what are we saying here? That Sonny and Jason are basically TEMU?

She made every woman believe they, too, could look good in a pair of tight-ass jeans, and I will never forgive her for that.

I can breathe a sigh of relief, too, knowing that JHC can finally stop jammin' on the one or whatever the hell she said.

Eric Braeden would sooner play the devil himself than play a Trump supporter.

Is it tedious that Jamey's breakdowns are terrible, or that LC says they are? I'm legit confused.

It's times like these when I miss Jeanne Cooper the most. Having her cross over to BTG would be a natural.

I think many soaps (on daytime AND on primetime) have made that mistake. They bombard the audience with characters without realizing that the audience needs to get to know the characters before immersing themselves in the storylines. Even KL made the mistake of "soaping up" in S2 before someone realized it was too much too soon and attempted a course correct. And I agree with you about PD. All you have to do is to look at their opening credits to see how patched together the show actually was. There's the modeling stuff with Terry Farrell, Mimi Rogers and Nicolette Sheridan; then, there's the corporate stuff with Lloyd Bridges; then, there's the quasi-family drama stuff with Anne Scheeden and John Bennett Perry; then, there are Richard Beymer, Dack Rambo and Brenda Vaccaro, who are there because...?; then, there's Lauren Hutton, whose function on this show is an even bigger WTF (like, y'all can't come up with one clip that shows what all these people are actually DOING on this show?); and then, just because every soap needs a sexy bitch, let's toss Morgan Fairchild in at the end, so the men'll wanna watch, too! It's a shell game of an opening sequence, but instead of looking for the pea, you're looking for the premise.

Just like what I was saying to Mama Khan the other day: "the pendulum always swings the other way."

Thanks for sharing the clip with us, @MissPalmer ; and thanks for the tag, @Vee !!

I agree.

That's what happens when budget restraints force you to shop for your actors at Kohl's.

Oh, but I'd KILL to see Erica do that! Just once!
