Characters that ATE their Soaps
IMO, it just never made sense for Kung Fu Barbie to be Sonny's long-lost half-sister.

I think @Vee said recently that Pratt was fond of Courtney/ALW as well.

ARTICLE: Steve Burton Announces Separation from Wife
Especially in Hollywood. You know, for someone who claims to love Jesus so much, Steve should know that tattoos (and tattoos featuring religious icons) are a no-no with our Father.

Best/Worst Production Value Periods on Soaps
Granted, I haven't seen much of THE CITY, but what I have seen looks to me like how Joel Schumacher might produce a soap if he had the chance.

Characters that ATE their Soaps
Hope, Liam and Steffy haven't eaten B&B. They've set fire to it, bulldozed the dirt over its' remains, and then built a new theme park devoted to their screwed-up dynamics on top.

The Politics Thread
I gave up warning others about Mr. Hillbilly Elegy a long time ago. IDK why, but I just keep thinking of poor Brooke English on AMC. During her many years on that show, she endured both an abortion after being raped by vile Eddie Dorrance and an ectopic pregnancy (during her brief marriage to Tad Martin) that also resulted in terminating the pregnancy after it nearly killed her. I can't help but think tonight of all the Brookes who've had to face even one of those traumas, never mind both. Imagine how much more difficult their situations might have been, had they lived in a country or at a time when they were denied their right to safe and, in many cases, life-saving abortions.

The Politics Thread
I'm with @marceline: at some point, people need to realize that Bernie and "the Squad" are literal poison to worthwhile liberal and progressive causes. I just don't know when that point will come. And I realize that unions have a very complicated history and reputation in this country, but my God! When did seeking to protect workers' rights become NOT the thing to do anymore? Take it from someone who works for an organization whose treatment of its' non-management employees is so abominable that the AFL-CIO actually BEGGED us on one occasion to find someone within our ranks to take up the cause: We. Need. Unions. Regardless of who caused the leak or how, this much is clear: the only recourse we have at this point is to do whatever we can this election cycle and the next to install pro-choice politicians into office who will codify Roe v. Wade and similar legislature that protects women's reproductive rights into law. Agree.

The Politics Thread
IA. Instead of saying, "Abortions for everyone!," we should have been saying, "Let's codify Roe v. Wade into law right away, just in case SCOTUS is feelin' cute one day and decides to overturn it!". The thing is, I, Khan, as the child of parents who were told (by two experts) that there was no way they would ever conceive together, do not believe in abortion. For any reason. I believe each and every child that is conceived in this twisted universe has a right to live. BUT... I also believe that the government should mind their own [!@#$%^&*] business as to what individuals do and do not do with their own bodies. If our government is so concerned for our welfare, why not see to it that children who ARE born don't spend their lives in poverty? Why not see to it that those who, at this very moment, are without jobs and proper shelter HAVE jobs and homes to go to? Or how about making sure that some yahoo with a "Falling Down" fantasy can't just go gun shopping the way you or I can make a quick trip to our local 7-Eleven for some Funyuns and a Cherry Slurpee?

It'll never happen, of course, but I still would pay good money to see Susan Sarandon say, "You know what, I really screwed the old pooch this time!".

Y&R May 2022 Discussion Thread
Well, it's a natural question, isn't it? Especially when the storyline in question involves one of your show's leading heroine attacking people in the middle of the night while zonked out on over-the-counter sleep medication. ("Where do you intend to go with this, Dena?")

The Politics Thread
You know...as much as Whoopi Goldberg annoys me, I think she had the right idea long ago: let's take all the children who will now be born to mothers who, for one reason or another, can't raise them, and let's drop 'em off at the household of every person out there who is "pro-life" and let THEM raise 'em. Agree. Also agree. One more time: agree.

The Madonna Thread
True. But, more importantly, SS has reached a point in her life and career where she doesn't have to prove herself at the box office anymore, or play the hot vixen if she doesn't want to. She can take roles in smaller, less glamorous projects - and even do commercials for ridiculously cheap eyeglasses! - and be okay. I'm not suggesting Madonna should start buying her wardrobe from the Melissa Reeves Collection, but it's not 1992 anymore, and she needs to accept that more gracefully. Whitney's attitude in that clip is exactly the attitude every parent should have: make sure your children know the difference between what's real and what isn't, because there's more important [!@#$%^&*] to worry about. I mean, my God, does the media really believe Madonna never even leaves the house without looking like a tramp!? It's not like you're gonna see her tomorrow at Jamba Juice, dressed as a dominatrix, spanking young men's bare bottoms, while waiting on her Matcha Green Tea Blast.

GH: Meet Dex
Amen. I feel like Doug Marland himself would ask whether ANOTHER young, good-looking male with no apparent purpose is needed. And this is the man, mind you, that lived for having beefy guys hanging around the Snyder farm all summer long wearing only jeans and doing no farm work whatsoever.

soap opera sets and set designers
My all-time favorite soap opera set has to be AMC's original Cortlandt Manor, designed, I think, by the show's longtime scenic designer, William Mickley. Favorite Set Designer/Decorator, though? For me, it's a toss-up between Lloyd R. Evans, Paul Hickey and Wesley Laws, who worked on several CBS and P&G soaps in the '60's, '70's and '80's; and Tom Trimble and Brock Broughton, who worked on both Y&R and DYNASTY.
