I am looking forward to the ABBA mentions haha I live in Luxembourg for the past 10 years and I am super excited that Luxembourg is back!! I went to the Luxembourg Song Contest few weeks back and it was so awesome. Production was really good and it was a great show. Songs were a bit too generic, but okay. I hope Tali qualifies. It will suck if on their first year back, Luxembourg doesn't make the finals haha

Loving Italy! My favorite so far!! I also enjoy France and Slovenia. As for who I dislike, it would Finland... I was all for Sara Siipola to win, but then we have... this...

Kristian Alfonso's scream when she learns Zach died was chilling and best acting that I have seen from her.

Really amazing episode! They really did explore so many angles. I did not realize that the man was George's father, so it was such a shock for me. I had chills when Gloria stormed in and George started to figure out the truth. Wow, awesome! Everyone did such a great job!!

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought so. Shame.

Ooh, new Johnny is hot!! Great acting by Kellie Bright since Christmas. I already pointed out Diane Parish, but Kellie has been great as well!! I never saw the character of Johnny before, so looking forward to see the dynamic between Johnny and Linda.

Ok, then great! Looking forward to seeing more of his personality once Ben is gone. Since I only came back to EE last year and Callum and Ben were already together, I never got to see Callum alone.

Indeed, and I have been enjoying every minute of Denise!! Maybe it is an unpopular opinion, but I find Callum boring lol So I was hoping he would leave with Ben

Diane Parish has been awesome with this material.

Omg, that final scene from Thursday... with Keanu's fingers on the wardrobe doors... freaky scary!!

I am loving it too! There are some less interesting bits, but overall I find it very entertaining. Yes! Omg, I just watched the episode when Alfie pees himself in the pub. Heartbreaking!!! When Alfie breaks down in front of Linda, Shane RItchie is so good. And then few episodes later, Linda has her breakdown over seeing the photo of Mick's child (I assume) and Alfie is there for her. I am loving Nish as a villain! And the actor is playing him so good. How Nish is visiting the ladies and tortures them. I am really interested to see where this storyline is going. I mean, the show is not gonna let go all 6 of them, but at least one of them will have to go to jail at some point, I assume.. so Linda? And Denise is really breaking. They seem to be really into Stacey/Jack. I am not really a fan, but it seems to be a plot device to push Denise further into depression. Stacey and Jack are really shitty people. Dean and Gina storyline seems to have ended as abruptly as it started. I wonder what was the purpose and if this will come back in some way at some point.

I fell behind again due to life... Watching last week now.. As much as I don't like the Mitchells, I did enjoy Sam revealing that Phil slept with Emma. And it broke up Kat and Phil. So yay! But wow.. this is how Kat gets involved in the Six storyline? By becoming friends with Nish? Did not see that coming. Lets see how that goes. I chuckled when Stacey and Jean were telling Kat: "But he's been in jail for murder"... and Kat just shot out: "So was Stacey" hahahah Still don't like Gina/Dean getting together EDIT: OMG, Dean just revealed in front of everyone that he and Gina are dating!

Oh I loved him on Savannah!! Wow, I am shocked. RIP

Hmm.. interesting... through Stacey somehow, maybe? EDIT: I actually didn't mind that Kat was not included in the Six

Watching Monday's episode and words cannot explain how little I care about the Mitchells' storyline and dead Aunt Sal..........

I wonder if he would somehow incorporate the arches from the original opening that kept appearing on the screen.

I am not even watching Y&R anymore, but I read spoilers or monthly episode threads from time to time just to see what people think and I have to say, it is hilarious how literally every characters seems to own a company and how they seem to switch all the time. I know people complain about it, and rightly so, so seeing now this spoiler, it made me laugh out loud Especially @Paul Raven post asking who will be the CEO, CFO and COO How do they at Sony think this is interesting to anyone anymore?

I don't know the answer to the above question, but at the mention of SB intro, I remembered that back in the day, my friends and I would try to guess which cast members are displayed throughout the intro I mean, obviously none of them, but back then as kids we thought the people seen in the intro are the actual cast members

Out of curiosity, which moments would you have chosen?

Sure, but primetime soaps have MUCH less episodes, so that's much easier and less expensive to digitize and host. I would also say they would have more audience interested in them. As for SuBe and Passions, are they hosted legally (by NBC, or whoever owns them) on Youtube? I believe only Doctors and Dark Shadows are streamed legally, no, meaning whoever owns the episodes has made them available? But I would say those also have much less episodes available than hosting DAYS or GH for example, which have like 15k episodes

Exactly! And in today's capitalist world where everyone is chasing money and profits, I am sure that if there was any profit to be earned from soaps online, streamers or networks would already jump on it.

I would think that thousands of episodes of soap would require a lot of servers to support all the episodes. Because finally everything published on a streaming service (or anywhere online for that matter) requires physical servers to save that data somewhere... and thousands of gigabytes of a soap opera would take a lot of their servers, I assume. A space that can be filled with content that more people would watch, I assume... On top of that there is the digitization cost, I assume.. as well as residuals for all the cast members and writers, probably...

I actually watched DAYS back then and while I found the Melaswen twist cheating and quite bad, I did enjoy some of it. Speaking of shocking revelations, I didn't watch when Delia died, so I don't know if that was really so shocking, but for me, I think for Y&R they maybe should have went with the Kay/Jill as mother and daughter. That was a huge revelation (albeit a horrible one). But I remember still Kay finding out, then having a stroke.. and then Jill finding out and running to stop Billy/Mac's wedding. I actually enjoyed all of those. But in the grander scheme of things, it was a bad decision.

I don't know if anyone saw it, but a YouTube Channel that makes Top 10 lists has published a few days ago a list about most shocking reveals on daytime soaps. If you don't wanna watch the video, the list is:
