OMG, really?? This is horrible news for me lol I have no interest to see any new Mitchells, let alone to increase airtime for Boring Billy... wow, that's lame news..

Wow, thanks a lot!! OMG, look at that now.. AMC number one, huge jumps for ABC in general-- Is that due to summer holidays so kids out of school preferred ABC and CBS/P&G soaps were more for older people? So since no VCR or anything, it had to be one or the other...

Oh thats right! Thanks Jason! Are those which exist on classic soaps tumblr? I read those, but never ended up saving those for my own archive. I should that some day.

Well we don't have specific weeks, I suppose, but we do have those monthly recaps that FrenchFan provided to us some time ago. So we could see what was happening in July 76, for example. But yeah, just in general ABC was not doing well. I guess people were really into P&G soaps at the time (plus Y&R)..

Wow, I am shocked at how low GH was. Like, almost last. And not just for one week, but consistently doing bad, being one of the bottom ones. They are lucky all other ABC soaps sucked at that time too, otherwise they would not have been still here today.

Well so I guess Panesars are back to the forefront. Nish came back with some big news. I thought as well he was faking it, but the doctor confirmed it. So I wonder if someone else dies in order for Nish to get a heart in the coming months. I am happy they didn't go back to Zack and Lauren. And also, Lauren vs Cindy is fun lol

Oh I agree! I hate when they do that. But I was just saying that Y&R has done it recently, so who knows

Nothing's stopping them... Since Victoria's daughter now looks like Ashley's daughter, why wouldn't Nate's mom look like Devon's mom?

I don't watch Y&R anymore, but I used to love Olivia and she is someone that I think should definitely be on the show. How about Tonya Pinkins? I enjoyed her a lot on AMC back in the day.

Could be.. I don't remember anymore the context of those bad comments, it was a long time ago. But I fully agree with you, they should have kept the Masoods (or at least some of them) on the show!! I loved almost all of them. I was hoping Shabnam would come back with this Dean/Jade storyline, but now. They even mentioned Zainab being in Pakistan at one point, it would have been great to have them both come back. And I would not mind an update of Syed and Christian. Btw, how did Zainab, Masood and Tamwar get written off? I think back when I was watching, they were all still on? Or I just forgot their exits.. lol I know Masood was dating Jane at some point... Was not a fan of that pairing, although I loved Jane.

Yeah? Thats great then! But I just know back when she was on the show, I was also on some soap board and people didn't like her. That's why I thought this sentiment remained to this day

Oh my.. based on your and Bright Eyes's comments, I am scared to start But thanks for the input, duly noted! 👍

Oh it will only be 3 eps per week, totaling one hour? Hmm.. now you got me thinking again Yeah, might give it a run for a month, that's 12 episodes, should be okay.. Thanks once again!

Does not sound enticing.. hm.. and with the limited time I have in the day for watching stuff, I think I will skip this. Thanks Bright Eyes

Wow, indeed, I can see the episodes on Youtube. Wow! Never watched Hollyoaks though.. is it any good?

Well wow, Croatian media must not have anything else to write about today. AFAIK, GH never aired in Croatia, let alone recently so that anyone would know who Johnny Wactor is. And calling him "famous american actor dies" is such a click bait...

Thank you as always, Jason!!

Oh nice!! I love Janine, although I haven't seen her early stuff! But I still enjoyed her as a villain when I started watching. LOOVED her and I love the actress!! She is also one of my favorite characters. I wish I could watch all those old episodes. I loved Pat too! Was so sad when she died I loved young Ben too, played by Joshua Pascoe as well as Harry Reid (although I haven't seen his entire run). I know this is probably unpopular, but I LOVED Zainab I also loved the Brannings... obviously Dot.. ❤️ But I loved how messy Max and Tanya were. I loved Lauren and Abi and Bradley.. that whole family was so chaotic and dramatic For example, I find Jack the most boring out of the Brannings, and yet he's basically the only one left (well now we have Lauren and Penny, although Penny has done nothing since she's been back lol) I will have to watch those videos you posted here!! Thanks!

Exactly! But funnily enough, I miss them, even Ronnie. Who are your all time favorite characters?

Let us know what you think of Whitney and Zack's storyline Oh I miss Ronnie and Roxy too!! More so Roxy. Ronnie, I had an on/off relationship haha I found her boring at times. I recently watched their death on Youtube... So sad..

Omg, yes! Hahaha I miss Jo Joyner and Tanya. I think I started watching around 2008. I watched Emmerdale around the same time and it was the first time I ever switched from US soaps into UK soaps. And I loved it. Oh thats not too bad Means you got the interesting episodes coming up! Enjoy!

I fully stopped watching sometime after Bobby was revealed as Lucy's killer... was that a live episode back then? I think so, no? I remember watching that for sure.. so probably some time after that. And then I came back last year in August. Where are you currently with the episodes?

Oh, I totally agree!! I didn't mean to imply that Whitney can have a happy ending only if she marries a man. Where my feelings of sadness emerged the most were during the wedding, when you know that [!@#$%^&*] will go down and Whitney will have her heart broken and her world will be turned up side down, not only because the man she loves slept with someone else, but that someone else is her best friend and on top her mother new about it all along and didn't say anything. So I kept thinking: "Oh I wish Whitney wasn't getting such a sad send off". But you are definitely right, that she did find some quick self reflecting, which then helped her reach peace and thus a happy ending, of sorts, with her daughters. I just felt bad for her during the entire ordeal. For sure! I am sure I would have felt it more if I actually watched during the entire 16 years. But I was there in Whitney's beginnings and now this last year. And it was sad. Seeing her say goodbye to all the friends and family.

I have finally caught up as well! And even though I did not enjoy the Lauren/Zack affair, it did provide some great soapy moments! The reveal at the wedding was really great, when Whit jumped on Lauren, omg!! And all the confrontations that followed, it was all very well acted and really fun to watch. The birth scenes were lovely, especially the moment between Bianca and Whit. And then Sonia comforting Bianca after the truth came out, as Bianca cried. Do I wish Whitney was getting a happier ending? Yes. I wish the affair never happened and Zack and Whit left town together. But it is what it is. I just hope Zack and Lauren don't get together now. As someone who never really loved Whitney, I really did get teary eyed seeing her leave. Everyone clapping was really nice and it was more like people were saying goodbye to Shona. The moment between Sonia and Whit in front of the bus was sad, when she said to call Bianca. As for other storylines, I was happy to see not many Mitchells lately, so that's a plus. I was surprised to see that George's sparing partner was Junior! And then Junior having a wife and a kid, after sleeping with Bianca. Interesting stuff! Bianca seeing them at the cafe and nudging Junior was fun NOw that Bianca is staying apparently, hope her affair with Junior will also lead to something. I cannot believe I was so interested in the teens! Denzel and Amy's bedroom scenes were really good. Both young actors did a good job. Nugget is a real Panesar, isn't he? I was surprised at how he lied. But good scene there when Amy tells him that Denzel will replace him with someone cooler and then Denzel trying to get Nugget out of the filming session. I'm curious where all this goes. I hope this is not the end of the storyline with Yolande and Pastor Clayton. Great to have Freddie back! I really missed him. He has such a positive presence shining from him. I hope the focus doesn't go back to the Mitchells and Billy's dad, because that storyline has been the least interesting for me.

Wow, it's been a long time since I even checked out UK tv ratings, so I had no idea that Emmerdale had better ratings than EastEnders 😮 But I hope they do go back to being higher than Emmerdale. Even though I haven't watched Emmerdale in ages and have no idea what their quality is lol
