Bill Bell said he didn't like melodrama? What did he think he was writing? Situation comedy?

Yep. At the very least, if he doesn't wreck American democracy (as we know it) beyond repair, Trump will lead us into another era of presidents who are, at best, average and easily forgettable; just like the eras between Andrew Jackson's presidency and Abraham Lincoln's, and between Lincoln's and Theodore Roosevelt's. We'll experience a succession of leaders who will be too busy cleaning up Trump's messes and keeping us from collapsing into total anarchy to make any real, progressive changes. And it really won't matter whether the Republican Party survives, because, thanks to Trump, they've managed to shape our direction for the next generation and beyond.

Years? More like generations. Our GRAND-children will be working overtime to restore our reputation with the rest of the world.

A "soap opera" on the NICKELODEON CHANNEL from the early '90's still has more depth than anything that's running on daytime these days. I want us all to think long and hard about that.

Fortunately, Tay-Tay has a good ten more years before she starts looking beyond tired.

I would, too. I think he'd kill it at some really good, character-driven series.

That would be good. Could someone get in touch with some LGBTQ-friendly network and convince them to offer Mulcahey a deal?

Patrick Mulcahey is too good for what daytime has become. Someone needs to hire him to write for primetime, cable or streaming series.

IA that it's a low standard. However, it's one that the current administration has reduced us to. I truly don't care at this point WHO will be the Democratic nominee. I just want him (or her) to beat Trump in the election. That's it.

Once again, WOC seem to be the only ones "getting it." You don't HAVE to like the person you're voting for. You just have to believe they could do a better job than the one who's doing it now.

Grampa Bernie needs to settle down or else he'll have an angina attack.

Sigh. Everybody plays the fool. No exception to the rule.

Well, that's what happens when you take revolutionary ideals into the mainstream. The leaders always get left behind.

And yet, underwear-clad twins looking as if they're about to screw each other seems more tasteful and makes more sense than anything I ever saw on PASSIONS.

Well, that's another poster added to Marlenaphan's growing "Ignore User" list.

AMEN.

JER once said he had worked at just about every soap except OLTL. And he could claim all he wanted that he learned from working with Bill Bell, but his work speaks for itself, lol.

CBS continues to prove just how anti-women they truly are.

Agree with both these statements. I think JER (and NBC) were well-intentioned at the start, but once they saw how no one was taking the show seriously (how could anyone take a show that has a witch and her talking doll as part of the cast!?), they just decided to go all Jerry Springer in order to appease the few 12-17 year olds who gave a damn.

Yeah, Warren was CLEARLY getting under his tanned skin because she had the audacity to come to the table with facts and logic -- which you're not supposed to do as a woman, obviously. I loved it.

Not to mention, cheap humor that no one past the age of 9 would find funny. (An elderly woman who can't control her bladder is funny to you, JER? Really?)

Don't blame Taylor Hicks for being mediocre. Blame the millions who watched his performances and said, "Yeah, that'll do."

Quantity is not the same as quality, and visibility doesn't necessarily guarantee dignity. A series could be filled wall-to-wall Black characters (or Hispanic characters, or Asian characters, or whatever) and still be considered racist or derogatory if the characters are depicted in negative ways. Case in point: "Amos 'n' Andy."

Why was Trevor Noah giving Elizabeth Warren [!@#$%^&*] for asking her husband to marry her (rather than the other way around) or for thinking he had great legs? That is such a sexist attitude (as if men never marry women just to get them in the sack!) and totally Not. The Point.

Bonnie Dennison is so low-energy (and low-rent) as an actress. It's a mystery to me why people keep hiring her.
