Oh, dear Lord, they would have been better off giving that guy a pair of Groucho Marx glasses.

Same.

Does your soap have a "Red Swan", a s/l or phrase or character that makes you groan?
He asked for too much money. Her make-believe reliquary proved one thing: Nazis are idiots. One word: Libidizone.

Well Plotted Soap Stories
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: the Jenny/Katrina baby switch on OLTL was probably the best soap story ever told.

That set is tacky. Teriah deserved better.

YR: Character to be recast???
Agree.

The Politics Thread
Cue Trump's "I never liked Charles Herbster anyway" statement in three...two...one. But, unlike Little Jack Horner, no one's pulling out any plums.

Knots Landing
You're in for a treat! But remember: it can be rough going at first, so give it time (at least the first 2-3 seasons).

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread
Or, even better, "Love Connection." You could just FEEL the audience scores tabulating with each change in the graphics.

One Life to Live Tribute Thread
Yeah, it was by her own choice. IIRC, Thayer didn't want her potential return to overshadow Zas' return OR his desire to shed light on ALS. So, JFP or the writers devised the explanation that Jenny was presumed dead in an avalanche. It's just a shame that OLTL went off the air before they could bring her back.

Two questions: 1) Who is Steve Schmidt? 2) Is he single?

The Media/Journalism Thread
Trump has said he would not return to Twitter even if the ban were lifted - but we know that's a crock. He'll JUMP at the chance to return, touting that "free speech has struck a real blow against the dirty, dishonest Dems!" and that "Elon Musk is a good friend, a smart businessman and a true patriot!".

I wonder who could portray her in the movie? Marisa Tomei?

Y&R 5/9/22 Promo
Honestly, you could kill off Jack tomorrow, have Ashley become the new head of the Abbott family and I would not mind one bit. As a matter of fact, I think it would be a step in the right direction.

Primetime ratings from the 70's
I wonder what was going on the week "Eight is Enough" hit no. 1, lol.

Don't let JC's alleged bad behavior color your impressions of Edmund, lol. If you agree with @Vee and others that only JC could have played Edmund - and by the way, I'm not suggesting that they're wrong to believe as they do - then stand firm. I'm just saying, I think Drake had what it took to be successful on a show like AMC. If he had played Edmund, it wouldn't have been the same as when JC played him, but it still would've been a successful character nonetheless. His Edmund would've been just...different.

Days of Our Lives: May 2022 Discussion Thread
I can't believe the SOB called Deidre Hall the "Mother of All Soap Stars." Not Susan Lucci, not Susan Seaforth Hayes, not Eileen Fulton and Rosemary Prinz, not even Virginia Payne. Nope. Deidre. I JFC with that [!@#$%^&*].

Nancy? As in Lee Grahn? I'm trying to remember what she tweeted about JC, but it's been a few semesters. The beauty about AMC's writers, though, was how they would tailor or re-tailor a character to fit the actor's personality. Plus, remember that AMC and DAYS were timeslot competitors for many years. If DAYS had decided to ditch Drake, who'd built up a following as Roman Brady #2, I think AMC would have at least offered him a spot on their show, if only to lure his fans away from one show and toward the other. Just as Y&R figured getting Peter Bergman, who'd just been dumped as AMC's Dr. Cliff Warner, to succeed Terry Lester as Jack Abbott would help lure AMC viewers to Y&R.

Actually, @Franko (and @carolineg), I was thinking Edmund Grey. Like I said elsewhere, Drake and Susan Lucci shared amazing chemistry when they co-hosted the Daytime Emmys, but I think he would've been great with Julia Barr (ex-Brooke English), too. Heck, depending on the timelines, because it's all like a blur to me now, they could have even paired Drake (again) with Genie Francis' Ceara, who I felt was in a dead-end relationship with Jean Le Clerc's Jeremy. Nope. The TV series adaptation of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" was an adaptation in name only. Otherwise, it might as well have been an entirely different entity.
