ALL: Complete list of ABC/CBS/NBC Daytime TV Series (Mondays-Fridays, 10AM-6PM)
I know you know that Schemering lists 3 DuMont shows as serials, early on, but they are all problems because they aren't daytime. Faraway Hill is Wed. nights 9-9:30 pm. A Woman to Remember started out on daytime, Monday, 2-21-49 but they moved to night as of May, so, only a bit more than 3 months during the day. The O'Neills were Tues nights 9-9:30 pm. They certainly exist as a footnote to early serials but don't fit into your daytime only scheme.

DAYS: July 2025 Discussion Thread
Funny that you should mention this. 1991 & 1992 are two years I specifically did a rewatch of. Yes, it turned out to be a kind of self-torture. Shane with Kayla, bad enough, Molly & Tanner, oh my, my poor show actually went there. And, Molly's mother secretly of course, was Ginger, oh, my some more. Thank god for Vern & Desiree. Also Deidre was robbed that year. She had the amazing story of a woman who loved 2 men - Roman, the real one, and John, but he was with a very pregnant IzzyB. Bo was with Carly although Lawrence didn't like it not one bit. The actress who played Gladys on GH 2 years ago was with Lawrence at that time.

There was also no official mention of any kind at all, much less a tribute video, of Another World that was going off the air after 35 years. But, when GH won Best Show Wendy Riche's first words were, "God bless all the good people out in Brooklyn finishing up today. Our hearts are with them." And, then she segued right into thanking people for GH's win. A class act.

Well, some Soap Twitter fans are okay, your word, nuts, I would typically say delusional. But, why quibble over what we call strange fans, right? What do you mean about someone fooling Emma? She seems to be trying to fool people not the other way around.

Now, first, thanks for the reply. And it's great fun to agree on the over-riding concepts. And, we agree on some things, but not Emma & Joss, but so what, it's not like it's a problem and if I look on you may see things in a way I like in the near future. To me a female rivalry that was rooted in character history was Joss & Kristina. To me when they met whee it is gonna come down. I miss that. Also I have always valued friendship on soaps. Maxie and Felicia. Another Felicia, another city anothwer soap Felicia & Cass.

I always, without fail, forget Moonves. So glad you do not!!! Changing the subject on you. I'm going to give you a way to remember MADD at her absolute worst. I'm going to put it under spoiler space so everyone won't have to look at it all the time. Perhaps now you will recall her name in regard to poor treatment of Zaslow. Just tryin to help.

Yeah, I love to laugh, too, but, the misogyny on this show just doesn't cut it for me in terms of humor. Haven't you ever wondered why they seem intent on making people choose day in & day out between females? Carly & Robin. And, Robin hasn't even been on the show in years. Here, they've created a fictitious war between Joss & Emma, when many of us wish that they would instead make them partners, not competitors. (Not to mention they've got Emma making googoo eyes at a man almost old enough to be her father.) They just seem intent on creating enmity against some females, whether there's anything organic in these supposed variances or not. Good grief, Soap Twitter poses Carly vs. Sam all the damned time & Sam is very dead. Has been since Halloween.

MLH, yes, agree about Harley & Nadine representing the best the Coopers offered us. And, we stand in solidarity with our bitterness over the treatment Zas received at P&G/CBS. And, about the much better treatment at OLTL I would add another name to shout out & she is Brynn Thayer. I understand she was also one who supported him to ABC/Disney. So god bless her along with Robin Strasser. Yes, they were kind but also they offered respect & dignity which he deserved.

The Susan Seaforth Hayes Appreciation Space
Thank you so much! This is how I feel. And, besides, it gives me a way to give tribute to as you mentioned, a true talent, and also a real class act. Please add your own words or images. I am sorry not to be posting to you individually but I am now starting to cry. Off to find some tissues. Back later.

Taking a break, IMO, is an honored tradition & one many people need to avail themselves at a time when their enjoyment is sorely challenged. I've done it. I imagine most have. Have fun & see ya later.

1. I don't have any intention of ever being Frank. (The only Cooper or Cooper-adjacent I would be would be either Harley or Harley's female lover.) 2. You might be right. 3. Even if you are right, I cannot give up even one iota of my bitterness toward MADD & RAUCH. (With others from P&G or CBS to be named at some future date.) Also will not.

Daytime Emmy Nominees
About the timing (Faulkner's post) I don't know whether I'm confused or whether there's something wrong. About the categories, it's been drummed into my head that it's not the story it's the role. Also not unclear. If you are supporting & for a time you are in a big story even if you are carrying the show for that time, you are still a supporting character. But, anyway, that milk is spilt & there's no undoing it.

Sure. Great idea. I love Patrick. Also I do not think Mo had anything AT ALL to do with what happened to him. I'm surprised that you do.

GH: July 2025 Discussion Thread
Okay, not that I think that is impossible or anything like that, but what is it that you think he is getting out of this presumed power? The only thing I am aware of that he really really really wants is for the network to get behind State of Mind which they have routinely declined to do .... CarolineG said "Immediately jumped into help Sonny cover a murder by saying she slept with him! So she's not against covering up a murder but also willing to embarrass herself publicly by claiming to have sex with Sonny." She had no choice when that happened. Michael, who I wanted to kill, threw her under the bus. He said, it's not a problem. Mom's at the house right now. & so she really had to, not wanted to. She sure talks about it often enough. Seems to me it bothered then & it still does now.

So last night on Michael Fairman Laura was asked about the relationship, Jason & Carly, and then they went on & he asked her something about her relationship with Jack & she said it is so funny to her when people ask her, how does she think Carly is going to react, like to Joss being recruited & it's Jack who is behind it, etc. And, Laura said, How do YOU think she's going to react? She laughed & said, She's going to lose her sh*t. And, some Puritannical fan in the chat objected & asked Micheal do we have to have swearing in your chats? And, I and many others just rolled our eyes. I mean, come on.

Since John is absolutely, positively NOT Roman, that would be not only ridiculous but absurd. John was NEVER Roman. And, with Josh Taylor, Roman isn't even Roman. And, since Wayne died, DAYS is effectively Roman-less & that is a permanent state. I fail to see how any drama could be wrung out of a new lie. IOW, IMO we should leave Roman the hell alone. I would personally love it if we could honor Wayne but I do not see any way that could happen.

Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates
Just had a thought. If you really get serious about finding episodes, there are 2 places you might want to look into. Now, most of the people here are traders, so you might have to learn how to communicate in this sub-culture. #1 Discord.com server name: Soap Opera & TV Show File Trading Club #2 Daytime Royalty, a message board on the web. "Video Vault" thread or topic. Do not ask for anything in any other topic. Alternately, read first, only then post.

Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates
It was suggested to me that posting actual links out here in the open is not a good idea. Seemed like good advice. So, I'm taking it. From now on, I will describe what is possible but to get the actual links, PM/DM me. Rachel on Bluesky Some of course are on Paramount Plus Internet archive Y&R 2023-2024 For the links PM/DM me. Sure, you're very welcome. I spent 4 days once helping a European ATWT fan finding things he could access so I happen to have a keen appreciation that World Turns can be a challenge!!!! I do not pretend to know why that is so, but it is.
