Sounds very interesting. I really want this show to be successful and force the other CBS soaps to wake up.

Quinton and Nola were fun, but the 80s were obsessed with supercouples and their stories become boring rather quickly. Nola was way too fascinating as the antagonist and they ended it way too soon. Who wrote the "Quinton is Henry's son" story? I think it took a lot away from him, along with the Sean Ryan story.

I love the Allen Potter years. Is this veranda set part of the Spaulding mansion we know? It was lovely.

Is the Chancellor set still used? Are Kevin and Chloe still around? Someone needs to SORAS some of the Y&R kids, the show needs some new blood.

True.

I like TJ and (this) Molly. They are the normal couple the show desperately needs.

Kirsten Storms looks so good, so happy for her. Am I a weirdo for missing old-school park scenes which take place in a set? Oh and they have no idea what to do with Natalia.

I am quite familiar with "these people" Contessa, thank you very much for your concern. And I think you are getting way too "passionate" every time someone expresses a different opinion. Not passionate like the times you posted 100 25-page posts every single day, but in a different way. PS: Who are the unrelated individuals?

You are getting way too "passionate" once again.

I've heard of all kinds of homophobia. I don't see any of it here, sorry.

The man is gay himself, he brought all these queer characters to the show and I am supposed to call him a homophobe? I didn't mind Blaze/Ally, despite the fact that her acting was horrible during the fall. But I can't call the poor man names because he let the actress go. Did SON posters really like her that much? I hadn't realized that. All I know is that she was written out very abruptly.

Has done what? Write out a lesbian?

Isn't he the same EP who brought all these people? Thank you.

She wears wigs. Like many soap actresses.

ICAM. I think the early 00s were the last time soaps invested in young people. I guess the cancellations scared them and now they are too scared to turn beloved 80s and 90s characters into "old people" or even let them go. There is no room for young people because the veterans play their stories. Of course I wouldn't want soaps to go crazy and fire everyone who is getting older like they did in the 80s, but they should at least give them suitable material. Another problem is casting. The young actors who get cast are not always very charismatic. I think TPTB do it on purpose because the stars are the veterans.

Watching 2005 episodes and I must admit that I like Jennifer Bransford a lot. Dare I say that has the Carly vibe/energy more than Laura Wright? #unpopularopinions

They should have cast a character actress as Natalia. They keep hiring name actor/actresses whom they don't want to lose and they eventually become a problem. If this is the end of the lesbians, I see no reason for the mother to stay on the show. BTW what are they trying to do with Ava? Every character who accuses her of killing that baby seems crazy and/or evil. They do remember that we show Kristina's fall, right? It was not even shown in a did she/didn't she way.

Always happy to see Susan Lucci. https://www.instagram.com/p/C-ih5QZJyZF/

Robin Christopher would make a stronger Blake. And after seeing her in the Santa Barbara reunion... Carrington Garland would make a fine Mindy or Morgan Richards.

The GH and the Y&R lesbians.

Why are all soap lesbians singers? Or why are two out of the four of them, singers?

I like him too. He is Rick. Sure, I can think of several other actors (from Michael E. Knight, Vincent Irizarry, Ricky Paull Goldin, Robert Bogue, hey even Michael Park) playing the part through the years, but I think that he could be very valuable to the show with the right kind of writing. Mel was his last chance, I would have kept them together and would have given them the go-to-couple role.

My question is... who could/should have played Blake? The woman was raised as a Bauer, is the daughter of Roger and Holly, had all this drama with the Spaulding boys, is the mother to Ross Marler's kids, she is even Dinah's stepmom. She should have been as important as the Carlys on GH and ATWT. After Ross was killed, it was the right time to bring a stronger, sexier, more dynamic Blake. After the coma. Jamie Luner? Stacy Haiduk? Sarah Joy Brown? Tamara Braun? Sandra Nelson? Cady McClain? I know the show was a mess by still.

Thank God. Being a nurse is the only thing that ever worked for her.
