They never realize that soaps aren't like primetime shows. You can't just throw flashy stunts and OMG, jaw-dropping plot twists at the uninitiated and expect them to hook on for (dear) life. The only way you grow and keep a soap's audience is through one generation passing it down to another like a family heirloom.

It's that moment when a pathological liar can't keep even his own lies straight, lol. It's happening to the Norwegians, too? WTF, Planet Earth!?

It was more than rumors. But, as Bunim and her producing partner, Jonathan Murray, learned from "The Real World," the best way to keep your cast on your good side, is to keep them [!@#$%^&*]-faced.

If only to kill the nightmare that is Villy forever.

No offense, @JaneAusten, but I don't trust white women to vote for their own interests anymore. They can post all the "Handmaid's Tale" gifs and memes all they want. I know better.

LOL!! It's amazing how GH stayed on top for so long.

Watching clips such as these makes me wish I were working in the theater. (Who cares if you don't make any money? It's LIVING ART). Also, I heart Dinah Manoff. Thanks, Franko!

Watching those makes me miss seeing Susan Flannery and Darlene Conley on my TV all over again.

In all fairness, the rest of the world stopped taking us seriously long before Trump. They've only become more open in their contempt.

I never paid attention! I knew JG was a professional dancer pre-Whitley, but I never knew she was on "Fame" or in the opening credits!

Barbra Streisand was right. We'd be in a much different place had Al Gore been made president. (For God's sake, WHERE IS MY HAAGEN-DAZS!?)

Wait, that was Jasmine Guy? WHITLEY GILBERT-WAYNE?

As I see it, the Democrats are now in a "damned if we do, damned if we don't" situation. If they don't pursue impeachment charges against the president, many will see that as the Democrats being weak (again) and aiding and abetting the GOP in their rampant criminality. (It also doesn't help to have "progressives" such as AOC beating the drums for it among their constituents when what they should be doing is rallying behind Pelosi and her coalition). OTOH, if the Dems were to pursue the charges, or (more accurately) if we were to force their hands into doing so, then there's a better-than-good chance that it all will end in failure -- meaning, of course, Trump won't be impeached; and the media, already out to get the Democratic Party, will make them look like even bigger fools for losing a battle they never wanted to pitch in the first place. That, in turn, will have a deadly impact on the 2020 elections, and beyond. Either way, everyone on the left and far-left is officially screwed; and as grateful as I am to Uncle Bobby and his team for all their hard, back-breaking work, I can't help but feel that his words today have placed Democrats in a no-win situation. So, yeah, get ready for four more years with Trump (you heard it here first, folks -- and I wasn't wrong before, was I?); get ready for more b.s. legislation at the state and federal levels that will undo Obama's legacy once and for all and make the recent anti-abortion bills seem almost quaint; and get ready for more district re-drawing, more court packing and more voter suppressing that will leave conservatives in power for generations to come. (Seriously, y'all, when's the next plane to Norway leaving?) And then, if that weren't bad enough, I hear that Boris [!@#$%^&*] Johnson is the leading contender to replace Theresa May as Britain's Prime Minister, even though he faces charges in court for lying the UK into Brexit (no [!@#$%^&*], Sherlock). Ugh. Screw the deal I made with God earlier this year. I'm gonna eat my weight in ice cream, and to hell with what it'll do to my prediabetes.

"Desperation and hopelessness" seems an apt description for how a ton of folks are feeling nowadays. Even though next year's an election year, there remains the fear of what ELSE could go wrong or fall apart before then. For many, it's just too scary and awful even to contemplate.

Sadly, I agree. Congress must act. If it doesn't, then it will look complicit. I just wish I could shake the feeling that seeking impeachment will ultimately deliver the Democrats' fate into the GOP's hands.

Which is probably what PGP/Televest wanted.

Well, that might make the story much clearer...but it doesn't make it less stupid, lol.

You forgot Reva the Psychic!

Well, we saw what "NYPD Blue" meets Y&R was like when JFP was EP.

Nowadays, soaps would KILL for numbers like those.

Unfortunately, I say the same things about my grandmother.

Ah, but that WAS his game plan, according to his original story projections. Yes, Kelly and Morgan were slated to marry, and Nola was to pay dearly for her lies. However, Quint was NOT supposed to end up as Nola's true love -- at least not originally. I don't have the full details, but going on comments made by (I think) Tom Casiello (who had access to Marland's writing at one time) and John Wesley Shipp, as well as how the beginning of the story played out onscreen, I surmise that Marland had designed Quint to be a (short-term) villain, who would ultimately place Nola in some type of mortal danger, thereby forcing Kelly to rescue her, and launching him and Nola into a full-fledged relationship. Of course, once Lisa Brown and Michael Tylo began working together, Marland saw the chemistry between them and changed his plans. That's why I think JWS, as Kelly, floundered once Kelly and Morgan's marriage fell apart (which, in retrospect, was part of Marland's original plan), because, without Nola, there was nowhere for him to go, romantically speaking.

This, from a woman who made it her top priority to banish all the vets on ATWT to the sidelines.

Doris Day replacing BBG as Miss Ellie would have made sense.

Yeah, but...was GF ever what you would call "sexualized"? Even when she was playing a gold-digging grifter with a history of childhood sexual abuse on AMC, she still often came across as virginal. And I say that as someone who adored GF on GH, DAYS and AMC (but probably not on Y&R).
