What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?
Binged MARY & GEORGE, which was so much fun. Julianne Moore gives the performance of a lifetime - a soap bitch to end all soap bitches! Still working my way through ALL SAINTS season 4 and now BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER season 2.

Y&R: Old Articles
I don't think anything was dropped regarding John Silva and Sheila. It felt like a (surprising) little beat, a shared past that justified a brief connection and facilitated the fun David Kimble/Sheila crossover. Bell wasn't going to focus majorly on a Sheila/John thing in the midst of everything else going on: John was plenty busy with Nina/David/Christine and Sheila was VERY busy. lol

GREY'S ANATOMY Season 11, which has been brilliant so far - the Ellis Grey flashback episode and Arizona/Callie marriage counselling episodes in particular.

Lots of last seasons. Just finished THE SOPRANOS Season 6. Sort of an uninspired last season but good ending. Now binging THE GOOD FIGHT Season 6, which has been brilliant so far.

What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?
I've been binging THE SOPRANOS Seasons 4-6. Halfway through the last season so far. Slightly disappointed with season 6 so far but hopefully Part 2 will pull it all together. JUSTIFIED Season 4. Brilliant.

Y&R: January 2024 Discussion Thread
While the show could get a little more energy out of their performers, MTS is doing great work falling off the wagon and Sharon named the company Cassidy made me cry, including that very touching scene of her and Nicholas talking about it later. Of course, this is built off of the (emotional) strength from something that happened 20 years ago, but it counts that Y&R can still go there. Then again, you had something like Christine and Phyllis' scene, which was more fizzle than fireworks. Because of the low energy performances (especially from Bell), Christine's egging of Phyllis to get a rise out of her came off as simply out-of-character writing for Christine - I mean, I think that's what Christine was trying to do, but you wouldn't know from the execution.

GH: January 2024 Discussion Thread
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed the January 31st show (with the slight exception of Sonny/Ava, but even that had a nice set and some - gasp!- interesting lighting beyond the usual). Tracy/Carly/Brook Lynn/Maxie/Sasha and Olivia/Lois were fun, the Esme stuff was decent, and there's at least a lot of energy. It felt at times like classic soap. It's probably as decent as a soap today can be.

GH: O’Connor/Van Etten OUT! Mulcahey/Korte IN!
Exciting and thrilling. I already find GH the most decent of all four soaps (of course, that may not be saying much). There's hope for something even better. I'll be watching.

SCANDAL Season 7. Took me a little while to get through the show, but it was a fun, messy, addictive ride.

SCANDAL - Just finished Seasons 5 (excellent - the chair!) and 6 (not quite as brilliant but very creative and addictive).

B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
@yrfan1983 Yes, the show was enormously popular in large parts of Europe from the very beginning, including Italy and Greece. I've told the story before, I think, of B&B in Greece: While the show was called the equivalent of Bold and Beautiful in Greek, its nickname to fans was indeed "Caroline". In fact, 15 years later or so, when my grandpa saw me watching B&B, he asked "Are you watching Caroline?" It was so incredibly endearing.

It really was a lovely film. Enjoyed from beginning to end.

ALL: The niche potential for streaming classic soaps
Generally speaking, I think YouTube is probably the best option for this sort of thing - just like Bold is doing. Anything they can make from monetizing is more than the episodes make now. That being said, if the library isn't digitized, the cost of that could potentially never be made back (and probably wouldn't).
