As The World Turns Discussion Thread
Yeah, I had brought Eddie up to speed & he had in turn brought Roger up to speed & they talked & Eddied talked to me again & it was from that point that I wanted to try to talk to the fellow but in either a PM or email setting not group. Roger & Eddie agree that P&G would not have done this whack idea that came out of Zenk. And, that is why I brought him back up.

Best Actresses on Soaps Right Now?
We have the privilege right now of being present for the best of her best, Ava Jerome at this moment in her life and thank the goddess Maura is not only ready for it, but chomping at the bit. This must've been what it was like to be in Judith Light's audience once upon a time.

GH: Classic Thread
Well, if I have my dates right, ... Yesterday was the anniversary of the last day of ATWT, 9-17-2010 and today is the anniversary of the last day of GL, 9-18-2009. So I gotta say this is some kind of cluster or dare I say, nexxus? Me, I wasn't watching GH to be aware of Sonny & Karen or of Brenda & Jagger. It's not until there becomes the entity Sonny & Brenda that I tuned in, some.

Forgive me, I am blank, my brain returns a total zero when I inquire, who the heck is Mason?

Predictions about the GH & DAYS soap serial killer storylines (aka place your bets)
When he was being interviewed about the Emmy nod, the actor who plays Cam was waxing euphoric about how incredible it is to him that GH can accommodate him so he can take a full college load & still work full-time, too. I respectfully suggest that what looks to some like misuse of him is to him actually getting to eat his cake with ice cream! My impression was that in other circumstances he would be quitting acting long enough to get his degree. On DOOL I keep thinking about Craig or Nancy, too, but I can't figure what would be their motivation. If I had my druthers it would be the way we could get rid of Gwen! She's useless now & she is ruining Jack.

Yeah, the 7 month lag (6 in the can & one written & vetted & rewritten) was their life saver to keep them on the air this past 10 years & now I fear it is going to be their worst enemy. And, the other thing that is hanging over them is that their legacy shows, I believe, could bring in subscribers by the droves but they're not playing that card. Why? Or I guess it is Why Not? They're one of the special half dozen shows that never wiped & they are now positioned on a streaming service where they could exploit 14,000 episodes!! Even if all they did was begin with the first 2-5 yrs of Bill Bell written shows, the earth would move. Why aren't they doing it?

You mean, February will get here & we will celebrate my birthday but the writing won't change one bit?! Sheesh. Why can't we ever have nice things?!

I just do so wish that they would burn some of this stuff & write new & fresh & better. And, I'm sure they're not going to. But I do love that I no longer have to wait for the show to load at 8 pm. And, the two days when I managed to watch at 6 straight up I really liked.

I thought Monday was best. Tu & Wed. were okay. Th. & Fr. just dreadful. The only thing of Th. & Fr. that I liked a'tall was Allie going & asking Ava what her intentions were toward her twin brother. That was rich & you could tell that Ava got a kick out of it too.

It is lucky to have a soap friend IRL. I used to. But, soap viewing to me is enhanced even by online soap friends. I hate people thinking soap watching is weird. Soap fans are no more weird than are sports fans. Now, other reasons for being weird, that's okay. I'm weird & I know it.

I was gonna go look for a pic & just then I saw your post. Yes, I like her very much. I am a little crazy for all three Chicagos. Thnx for looking her up! I'm very annoyed that Jesse Soffer is leaving PD. He was on ATWT before Chicago PD. Excuse us, folks, we just fell into an off-topic rabbit hole.

I am truly sorry that is your experience right now. Been there, too, but right now I am more happy with the show. I'm afraid every day that will slip away. So far so good for me.

I wonder if I'm thinking about the right person on Chicago Fire. I like her.

As The World Turns Discussion Thread
Just picked this up off of a tweeter named Ron ... Hope I'm not duplicating anything. I’ll never forget what a beautiful fall day it was 12 yrs ago & how I felt watching this finale. 56 yrs of American pop culture ended on September 17, 2010. At 2 o’clock, I’m going to stop whatever I’m doing & just think about how much I loved “As The World Turns.” @CBSATWT #ATWT

I have no problem with paying to see either. I think if I could have it cafeteria style that I would pay by character, so I wouldn't be paying for the custody battle either because I wouldn't pay for anything Kristen/Stacy. Also wouldn't pay for Alex, Leo, Clyde, Nancy, Orpheus, so that's 5 characters I would not pay for. Oh, one more: I would not pay for Gwen.

I think its last season was 3 yrs back. So's she's gonna need a time machine! The last I heard of one was Pine Valley's. The good news is that no one is using it.

Okay, so the best deal works out to be 8¢ per episode, so reframe your question, Th custody battle worth 8¢? Fr. custody battle worth 8¢? Now, we'll have some Final Jeopardy music while we await the answer. Oh, yeah, anyone can answer! This is the Free For All round!!

Well, just ablooby54a35 sorry. I looked but ... apparently I did not see.

But, they're using this ridiculous "catch-22" whereby Kristen got a pardon for everything, so they can't bring up anything except something new, which is why she is getting to say all this garbage before the judge & they just get to hem and haw. Supposedly their hands are tied, legally, by this huge loophole. It's very frustrating. As much as I am annoyed by the writing the past 2 days it is making me feel that frustration. It's like it's Belle's job to keep them from slipping & saying something. Fat lot of good she's doing our side! Well, I hold it against Stacy that we have a NotKristen and I would rather have just that No Kristen unless it is good enough for Eileen to come do her thing for a temp period. So I'll just be an old meanie. I really tried for a long time to give Stacy a chance. Didn't work out!
