Late (er) in life coming out...which soap characters would be suitable?
Claire Labine wanted to tell a late-in-life coming out story w/ Holly when she was still HW'ing GL, but P&G nixed it.

DAYS: Makeup room photo chart reveals contract cast for some point in 2022
I won't say I don't love the idea of Craig being gay or bisexual, because I never bought that he would have been attracted to a woman like Nancy in the first place. Regardless of my own feelings, though, I hope Ron Carlivati has enough respect for Craig and Nancy's fans to make it clear that Nancy is not just his "beard"; that Craig does, in fact, love her dearly and has always loved her. Otherwise, this is gonna make Nancy look like a damn joke.

And someone will want to say something, but someone else will threaten them by mentioning Shady Pines. Yeah, I know how the game is played.

And Xander performs a "Magic Mike" routine while Will, Sonny and Leo dress as their favorite female character on "Knots Landing". It's gonna make even the devil's eyes bleed.

"Like glitter through the hourglass, so are the Gays of Our Lives." But, think of all the terrific "Golden Girls" references we'll get between Craig and his new bf!

It's truly amazing how that particular confederacy of dunces came very close to toppling our entire government.

Telling Maggie Haberman to "do her job" is like pissing into the wind. Now, if we could just get rid of Fox News....

I know how. He'd write it abominably.

One Life to Live Tribute Thread
It seems out of left field (even for Farah) to be resentful about a same-sex couple's popularity. If viewers preferred Rex with another woman over Gigi, that's one thing. But what the heck do Kyle and Oliver have to do with her?? Ah, well. I don't pretend to understand what goes through the average actor's mind.

Soap opera suicides
I've always felt that way, too. As Mack reasoned, when Jill realized she'd lost Gary for good, and to Val, she was determined to make them both pay for destroying her life, even if it meant killing herself in the process. But, you know, it's hard to know for sure what Jill's true intentions were, since (IIRC) the entire explanation of her death was based on Mack's supposition to the D.A. I mean, for all anyone knows, Jill might have been forced into Gary's trunk, or she might have had an accomplice helping her stage the kidnapping. We never saw it actually happen. We can only go by how Mack laid it all out to the attorneys. I'd have to agree. As over-emotional and dramatic as Reva could be at times, even she wouldn't have gone THAT far. But, at least it was produced well (IMO).

Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)
I still remember when Soap Opera Weekly did their big, "Whatever Happened To...?"/"Where Are They Now?" issue, where they caught up with May, Borelli and a truckload of other former soap stars. It was so bittersweet reading that and thinking and feeling that there were so many former actors who should've still been on the soaps.

All I can say is, if the rumors are true, and Craig indeed comes out of the closet to Nancy and Chloe, please, for the love of Donna Summer, don't make Leo his lover. In fact, don't let Craig's new, same-sex partner be anyone we've already seen on this show. DAYS is incestuous enough.

Sisters Fighting Over a Guy
Yeah, that story was godawful -- and knowing that Ellen Wheeler and Tom Eplin had once been married IRL did not make it any easier to accept or watch either.

If Ron Carlivati were writing this show, and he had somehow stumbled upon that information? Believe me, he would have found some way to tie the two Glorias together. IKR? I would have LOVED to see Drucilla, as the maid's daughter, who resented how much more attention her mother gave her boss's children, at least try and seduce Jack (or even John) into marriage just to prove she was just as good as the Abbott children. If Drucilla and Olivia had been Mamie's daughters, rather than her nieces, then a Jack/Drucilla union could have caused so much tension among the two families. My guess? Even though she was playing a maid, she didn't want to play her like she was Beulah, and Jerry Douglas thought she was being "uppity" for demanding her character be written with dignity. But, again, that's just my guess.

I can't [!@#$%^&*] believe this show thinks investigating the destruction of a teddy bear is worth airtime. Ron Carlivati is a damn fool.

Soap opera suicides
Soap operas are turgid by nature...but, underneath the sturm and drang, they're also supposed to offer viewers some hope. Having characters commit suicide seems to run counter to the idea.

ABC: ‘All My Children’: Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos Developing Primetime Version
I dunno, I just feel like a "darker" AMC would be antithetical to Agnes Nixon's original vision for her creation. She always envisioned her shows having a pronounced sense of humor.

Boy, was that (killing off Dan) a mistake. I feel like there was so much more that could have been done with Dan.

Good. I think Adam Kinzinger is a grifter just like the rest of 'em. He's just found a different angle. (I also think he's gay, but that's for a different thread.)

Guiding light alum joins YR
I guarantee that RN/AH will not work. It would make more sense to pair him with Eileen Davidson or even Melody Thomas Scott than it would to pair him with AH. Sigh. I am so, so tired of Y&R going back to the Billy/Victoria well. I mean, how many times must they replay that scenario before they realize it's a creative dead-end?
