Y&R remains #1 for one reason and one reason only: Eric Braeden. Y&R's core audience doesn't really give a hoot about how bad the rest of the show is; as long as they get to see EB/Victor, they're good.

No, Sonny would never hit a woman...but he would shoot her in the head. (Hey, Carly! What's good?)

I forgot to mention before how I learned all about postpartum depression from watching Reva's exit storyline on GL (and again, how my own mother went through it after giving birth to me).

Jack had it tougher than his wife, who unwittingly slept with his doppelganger?

Teenage sexual angst...set to a disco beat?

All I can say is, YOU GO, GIRL, lol.

Thank God I don't have kids, lol.

Oh, I think so, too. I just found it funny that "Happy's Place" is succeeding where "Malibu Country" failed. Like, what was so off-putting to "Reba"/"Happy's Place" fans about "Malibu Country" that they stayed away, lol?

That's what Howarth himself should've said when Josh Griffith offered him his current gig on Y&R. I mean, how many times must you play a rapist before you accept that you've been typecast and probably need to leave the business?

If not for AMC and Erica's pregnancy, I never would've known about toxemia/preeclampsia (or that my own mother suffered with it while pregnant with yours truly).

I agree. Whenever I watch the latter seasons of FALCON CREST, and I see how much Maggie had devolved as a woman, especially once she gets involved with Richard, it makes me wish the producers had put her (and us) out of our collective misery LONG before she drowned in that swimming pool.

Poor Drake. He put up with a lot of crap from DAYS, didn't he?

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear Charity Rahmer was AI-generated.

Which is funny, because "Reba," "Malibu Country" and "Happy's Place" all feel like the same show to me, lol.

For me, it was the one-two punch of losing Laura and Lilimae (although, @DRW50 made a very good point about the writing for Lilimae often being very ugly, for lack of a better word). Julie Harris and Constance McCashin had a very natural acting style that really helped to ground the storylines. With those two gone, KL becomes, from an acting standpoint, much "soapier."

That's what I loved about Laura: you never had to reach for psychotic stalkers or baby-switching doctors to give her story. Laura was neither a heroine nor a vixen, but her stories were rooted in the real and the everyday, which, to me, made her the most relatable female character on the show.

All I can say is, as an overweight person, I did not find the comment funny at all.

Amen!

It's really a shame that Robin Mattson wasn't as successful on RH as she had been on other shows. I thought she was a wonderful addition to the cast, but hiring her as a Delia recast was just about the most bone-headed decision TPTB could've made. I think she would've been much more successful as Maggie or as a Faith recast.

Hopefully, the failure of the "Frasier" revival proves the point.

I'm sure Richard tried to make Laura drive a nicer, more expensive car. Laura, however, was practical almost to a fault. She likely told Richard she refused to drive such a vehicle and demanded he return it to the dealer "or else."

A real shame, too, because, once you've gone as low as "Matt Houston," whose popularity still perplexes me, there's nowhere else to go but up!

Ghost Lila is in Heaven. No one in Heaven requires a wheelchair, because no one in Heaven is disabled.

Heck, Lucille Ball could have replaced Dame Judith Anderson as Minx Lockridge on SB and it would've been better than watching her on that godawful show. (As a matter of fact, we should start a new thread: Things We Would Have Rather Seen Lucy Do Besides 'Life with Lucy').

I tend to blame her hair. Somewhere around 1980, she started wearing her hair like some real estate broker from the Midwest.
