GH: May 2026 Discussion Thread
You know the look that a dog gets in its' eyes when it realizes its' owner has abandoned them at the shelter and is never coming back? To me, Jason Thompson always held that same look in his eyes whenever he had to play any scene with Teresa Castillo. Like he had given up on finding another forever home.

Melrose Place
You'd think that losing Luke Perry AND Shannen Doherty would make them all take greater stock of their lives and realize that life is just too damn short to let petty bullshit get in the way of things, but whatever, lol. And I could see Thomas Calabro copping a bit of an attitude. He's always struck me as someone who considers himself a "serious actor." Never mind that the only thing outside of MP that people still remember him for is that TV movie where he went undercover as a male stripper.

Dallas Discussion Thread
At the risk of offending many people, including many ATWT/DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES fans, I'll just say that this is what I've been saying for YEARS - way, way before the revival series, in fact. Truthfully, just about all the actors cast for the revival just plain suck, with Judith Light being the obvious exception.

LOL!! Frank figures, if he forces those actors down our throats enough, in time, we'll just grow numb and won't care anymore.

ALL: Those big, iconic soap moments
I've faced similar microaggressions throughout my life - except, oddly enough, it comes more from my own folk than it does from anyone else, lol.

Primetime Soaps
I'm telling ya - aside from "Murder, She Wrote" on CBS, FOX was my Sunday night destination. I think the same thing happened to The WB's "Grosse Pointe," a blatant parody of 90210 and its' backstage shenanigans, created by none other than Darren Star, lol. IIRC, when The WB cancelled it, they blamed their decision on the fact that it lost its' lead-in audience. Rumors suggested, however, that Aaron Spelling himself killed the show because he felt it painted a picture of his daughter as the ultimate nepo baby, who wouldn't have had the career she had if not for her dad's influence. (Me, to Mr. Spelling: "Where's the lie?")

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
I don't think it was a coincidence that Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, an avowed ATWT/GL fan, would later cast him on "Designing Women" as Hence Winchester, the sleazy playboy who harasses and even attempts to rape Mary Jo. Re: Harley Venton and "Moonlighting" - IIRC, Cybill was the one who pushed hard for Venton to be cast as David Addison. But Glenn Gordon Caron noticed how the ABC secretaries would respond whenever Bruce Willis would come in for another audition. (Take that, Douglas Marland, lol). Alan Fudge - who dated Linda Ronstadt BITD - pops up all the time in "Murder, She Wrote" reruns. He's even in one of the latter MOW's, "A Story to Die For."

Primetime Soaps
Yep, lol! Ironically, I miss that era of FOX, too, when they were more concerned with being "different" than with legitimacy. So many of their shows at that time were SOOOOO off-beat, yet very entertaining, lol.
-
Dynasty Discussion Thread
Me, too. To me, CW series was a lot like what the original series became - light on character development and meticulously planned stories, heavy on rich folks staying trailer park messy - just updated for millennials and Gen Y'ers who weren't alive or old enough for the first series.

Melrose Place
If anything, the MP cast members (both male and female) have been more positive about their time on the show than their counterparts over at 90210, who always give off a "Gawd, I'm so sick and tired of talking about that stupid show" air, IMO. It seems like a lot of Aaron Spelling's shows - MP, DYNASTY, SAVANNAH, "Charmed" - hit that so-called point of no return, where everything gets so absurd that it chases away everyone except the die-hard fans who will go down with the show, if necessary. ("Models, Inc." might've gone that route, too, but they got cancelled just before Hooker Hell, lol).

BTG: Original actor exits
As soon as I had read that his name had been removed from the opening credits, I knew his days were numbered. Wow, I think this is BTG's first (violent) death? I just hope they wrote and produced the heck out of the scenes, because that might be a good way to get people talking about the show (or, talking about it again).

I miss that era of ABC so much. Next to NBC, they had some of the most innovative shows on network TV at that time.

Yep. By the final season, it was just J.R., Bobby, Cliff, James and a bunch of rejects from "In the Heat of the Night."
