Racism and racial representation on soaps
Fascinating to see the actual numbers! Daytime just loves to devour itself. Well, it certainly surprised me. Ugh. Disgusting.

Wow. Can I find this man on Insta?- Y&R: Old Articles

Yes, this is definitely a more lowkey period now that Aremid, Jude St. Clair, and Bo/Hope have been resolved and before other major developments happen. I agree -- Kristen's POV is completely understandable. John and Marlena are nearly salivating at each other. Also agreed on Peter. He should still be driving major story on the show. I have no idea how the Sami/Austin/Carrie/Lucas stuff moves on from here. I'm excited that Kate is starting to discover what Sami's like. Sadly, I had a feeling about Bo/Hope. I recall watching an episode a few months from now (June I think) years ago and I believe Bo and Hope were arguing because he doesn't want her to go back to work? Maybe I'm completely making that up but it just seemed really uninspired and boring. I'll see how I feel this time around. Reilly does know how to structure a (umbrella) story, build tension, and deliver payoffs for sure. Interesting! Aremid was great fun. I can see why it worked so well. Welp. Good thing I know about that already. Honestly, over the months, I think Stephanie Cameron's improved a little. She's not a master or anything, but not nearly as breathless and annoying as she was. But I adore Mark Valley. Wonderful. Wonderful. An Aremid spinoff? Interesting. Would that have been a whole daytime soap or...?- Y&R: Old Articles

March 1996 After 40 episodes of threatening to rape Hope, finally the whole Jude St. Clair story comes to a head and, I’ve got to say, it’s pretty fun – Hope’s escape, Bo risking his life to find her, Jack determined to prove Jude and Peter are connected. I like that Peter shot and killed Jude. Overall, this was a good story. The infamous “Letter” storyline has begun and I’m anxious to see how it develops. Marlena's got that damn letter in her bag for over a month now and hasn’t seen it. Jesus. Vivian finding Stefano in her bed made me gasp. A great twist. There was something very touching and poignant about what I assume is Sarah's last appearance when Jack mentions that she told him she didn't know anything about love the first time they met and she says that, after watching him, Bo, and Hope, she does. I didn’t expect the feels I felt when Hope and Alice hugged once Hope returned to Salem (which finally gave Laura, Mike, and especially Mickey, Maggie, and Shawn a reason to come out of storage). It’s utterly fascinating watching Kristen's slow transformation into a villainess. Say what you will about Reilly's DOOL, but this is masterful writing, expertly delivered by Davidson. And it's always good when Sami reveals the tragic hopelessness at her core. It helps ground her.- What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?
100%. I just can't take my eyes off it. Jessica... sigh. Complete mess. I REALLY want Lauren and Cameron to make it. Adorable!- Knots Landing
Season 13 is extreme -- from perhaps some of the most difficult episodes to get through to wonderful excitement with Paige's paralysis and kidnapping, and the surprisingly intriguing mystery woman in Greg's life. I was NOT as negative on Season 13A as a lot of others are - I did find plenty of things to enjoy. However, there's no denying the tone was shifted into being almost a crime show. Linda's murder being one example. It just didn't click and the pacing was way, way too slow. But, with one episode left in the season, I am sad it's almost over. Sheridan gave her best performances yet. She really blossomed here. From crying out in anguish over her paralysis, or throwing Laura's name at Greg's face, getting together with Greg (FINALLY!!!), and being terrorized by Pierce. The boat climax was fantastic. Speaking of Laura, what a great gutpunch to have Greg go back to her tape. We hadn't seen Frank in a few episodes and so I gasped when we saw him again on episode 21 -- that dramatic weight loss could mean only one thing. Sadly, my fears were confirmed. I didn't know about that. How horribly sad. The twist with Mary Robeson was great - Greg knows her and wanted to know she was released from prison, her lurking outside the McKenzie house. Again, this is different, but in a good way. The Claudia/Alex pissing contest continues to excite. It's unique, nothing the show has ever done before, and exhilarating. This is why KNOTS made it so far; creativity. Yes. How refreshing and honest. Then again, he did great work at KNOTS and received wonderful writing, so I'm sure that helps.- B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

Wow. What a series. What a journey. Amazing ending.- B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

Saw the first 2 episodes. It's really great. I love how Pearl and Izzy are forming bonds with the other mom. They keep hinting that Mia is really angry, perhaps vengeful. I wonder if it's a misdirection or if they want us to think it's a misdirection. Witherspoon is fantastic as always. Although this character is very similar to BLL, she's certainly playing it different.- B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
