Sapounopera

Sonny has finally found his place on the show.

I am not sure Marland would have created a big family around Josh and Trish. He always loved giving his characters detailed backstory. I could see HB and Billy visiting during some Spaulding Enterprises drama. Sometimes I wish Marland would have moved ahead with the Kelly-Nola marriage. He told that story with Jack and Ava on Loving. Quinton was fun, but Nola was supposed to be like Delia on Ryan's Hope, all about the drama. She got her happy ending way too soon. Marland also tried to tell the Scotty-Laura-Luke story he didn't get to tell on GH, with Kelly, Morgan and Josh.

Couple fans always cause meaningless drama. Soaps are not telenovelas, they are not supposed to have a happy end after 100 episodes. I see that BTG is "forcing" some soaps to be more open to diversity.

I could only see Willow in a Love Story type of story, where she dies in the arms of her husband after six months. Sasha might work as a recurring character, someone's best friend. Casting was horrible for both characters and the storylines didn't help either.

This is so desperate, random and uninspired. Perhaps it was fun the first few times the soaps did this reveal many years ago, but not anymore. It screams "we must make the audience care for this character" and it never works.

Νο.

I think that the only way to save SFT in the 80s would be through Jo and Stu. I don't remember anything that special about the Kendalls or the McLearys.

What does the Sascha actress have on the GH producers? Was she ever on OLTL? Even as an extra? They are doing everything to make this random, boring, pointless character work, while actors and characters have come and gone.

Edward Scott's return made it to one of the most popular greek news sites. Don't ask me why, both shows have been off the air for more than ten years. B&B is also mentioned in the article.

For now.

I am not sure people today would view the Brenda story the same way they did in the 80s. The thing with the talented replacement (and I agree that Jess is a very talented actress) is that nobody seemed really interested in giving her story. Jill went from one of the key players to a secondary character very quickly. While Nikki was always involved in the show's big stories.

Yes. By now we all know that cast openings eventually become a problem.

I always thought that he wanted Brenda Dickson out, so that his wife could become the show's first lady. Nikki became way too prominent. However, I could not be happier about his return. If only he would bring a new writer...

One of the most charming and charismatic actors on the show. RIP.

BTG will have a married gay couple, so bringing Lucas back and giving him some story makes sense. All these returns make it obvious that the mob element is worn out.

Β&B is still considered a soap.

I can't wait for the show to premiere, so that I get to read the entire thread all over again.

One of those moments where I really hope you have some inside info Contessa. Sonny has become a real problem for the show and doesn't work in any capacity.

Am I mean and problematic to think that sometimes Mo is using his personal issues to get his way on the show? Mo always complains and the show has to do what he wants, so that he doesn't get worse with his problems. And what kind of problems are these they have to do with soap opera story?

I hope that someone will be posting BTG episodes for all of us outside the US lol.

He is way too busy with anniversary and special episodes to care. Y&R is having a special anniversary episode for something or someone every single month.

I am officially obsessed. Love the new title, the name changes and the three ladies who have joined the cast.

The show's new Coco Spectra.

Has Y&R hired Ron Carlivati?

(I was hoping/dreaming that it would be Denise Alexander.)
