Sapounopera

They have been talking about this shocking twist for weeks. It'd better be something good.

But she was not fired. It was all part of the plan, right?

Cynthia Watros as Patty Williams Abbott in the 00s. Before the Mary Jane madness that is.

I remember being horrified as I watched Nancy Karr tied in a bed in bandages. This was a 1981 story about her being kidnapped and held at a clinic.

B&B Denise Alexander as Beth Logan after leaving Another World Y&R Cassandra Creech as Dru? GL Hugo Napier taking over from Ron Raines as Alan Spaulding Jamie Luner as Blake Marler in the 00s Brian Kerwin as Ed Bauer Marj Dusay as Rita instead of Alex in the 90s

There is no point in trying to make Willow interesting by giving her new parents. They could say that she is Luke and Helena's or Terry and Liz's and nobody would care. She is a boring character, played by a boring (or bored) actress who is involved in a boring relationship with a boring guy. Her parents are the least of her problems.

Stephanie's scandal was Bradley's "smart" idea to create a new insta-family of name actors and to be able to create tasteless pairings between the Forrester kids. It was wrong in so many ways and Stephanie was not the character for that type of story. In the 2000s Stephanie and Taylor tried to outslut Brooke for no real reason.

If Mike had stayed in the 80s, there would not be much need for Ross in TPTB's minds. Perhaps not even Ed, since he could be the town lawyer and the Bauer patriarch as well.

Ellen Winters??

This is a name from a ten-year old soap fan's first fan fiction attempt

Maya on B&B. This could have been iconic. Something that would draw the attention of non-soap fans. Brad Bell managed to make it boring, the story played out like a fairytale. Plus the casting for such a character was all wrong.

Phillip's death was a great story. A real tragedy, Jill and Kay losing in a car accident another Phillip they both loved. TB was great as the shy, awkward, sensitive boy and that's where the story should have ended. No Cane, no Gay Witness Protection Program.

I love your ideas as always . GL didn't even need all these changes brought by the TEXAS people.

Just an idea in order to avoid the unwatchable Lewis-Shayne madness of the 80s 🙂

Would you have accepted Kim Zimmer as nu-Hope in 1983? Not acting all Estelle Kendall of course, but like a more decent version of Nola Aldrich.

Well I guess you were not very good at that. Stay happy and positive, bye.

If you don't understand that attacking other posters is not normal or acceptable behaviour, my thoughts about Brenda Dickson is the last thing that should be on your mind right now. I didn't answer your post because I wanted to discuss my Y&R fantasies with you. Or that I felt the need to convince you that I am not nuts. I am shocked that you haven't understood this yet. At this point we are repeating the same things to each other, no reason to continue. Since you think that talking to others in a civilized way is too much, please ignore my posts.

LH is doing wonders for tired and boring Sam.

No actual reason to discuss Brenda Dickson or soaps in general with a person who has no idea how to behave on a message board. I am sure you get that a lot. Try understanding that your outbursts are unacceptable and stop attacking people because you don't like what they say. This is not your rage room.

Trying to act like a bully on a soap opera message board is not cool and it should not be acceptable. If you don't understand that you can't talk to strangers in an aggressive way, 1985 Brenda Dickson is the last thing that should be on your mind. Congratulations for your formal warnings, you must be very proud.

Guess what, you have my interests all wrong, however I am here to discuss them like everybody else. Nobody hired you to attack posters because of their "taste problems" and I don't have to "move on" when a random stranger bullies me online or tries to make me feel uncomfortable. You might have scared away several people you didn't care for, for your own reasons. Not happening here. Accept that you can't address others in a demeaning way just to feel better for yourself and move on. If you can't handle posters saying things you don't agree with, perhaps a message board is not the best place for you right now.

At least I am not toxic and I don't feel the need to attack strangers on a soap opera message board without any real reason. This is not the first time. You are the only one who is doing this here. Please be careful with the things you say to people you don't know and take out your frustration to the people you blame for your situation. Try to forgive each other and then start posting like a normal person. Your soap posts are quite interesting, the personal attacks not so much. Bye.

(I would welcome Brenda back with open arms)

B&B: The very first year with the Forresters and the Logans. The Rick/Amber/CJ/Bridget/Deacon era in the early 00s

Joss is not even needed as part of the teen story. The others are just fine without her. She is just another boring SORASed blonde daughter who escaped from DAYS.
