In terms of recasting, I'd understand. When it comes to a new soap, on the other hand... let's just say I see tons of opportunities for future trivias!

I'm asking this genuinely: what kind of spoiler is contained in a name? 😭

I wonder what the issue is with the names. Why bother going from Daniel to David and so forth? It doesn't make any difference...

Yeah. I can’t believe how she manages to turn up everywhere no matter what.

Thanks! Looking forward to it ❤️

Where do you recommend that we start, Jan 16? Is the whole 1989 playlist complete?

In the last 20 years, trends have shown opening credits being reduced to either one single card being zoomed in or an extremely stylish design composition (think what they do over at Elastic). I believe we can expect BTG to feature short opening credits, including graphics and an instantly-classic theme. Face cards are a no go in this era.

Exactly! Who would even buy those? I am positive they just consider the old cues 'too old'.

LMAOOO Thank you!

I’m glad she’s writing but I can’t help but think of Vicky Rowell when she advocated for herself to join the Y&R writing team and they refused mentioning “conflict of interest”.

Wow! Such a cool find! Thanks for sharing ❤️

What in the world happened with Thomas/MA? Can someone fill me in?

You play a flashback on a streaming platform that people pay to join --> you pay a residual to the actors acting in that flashback. You post a thousand year old clip online where no one is making any money (for example, X) --> I don't see the moral obligation for a residual, sorry. Some people are forgetting the importance of archiving, which is why in 2024 we still have tons of soap episodes missing.

What residuals? These episodes were meant to air only once, maybe twice if they were extremely classic. By sharing clips you're giving the actors and writers a new chance to shine and be relevant.

Is anybody already downloading these and uploading them to the Vault?

I just got into a rabbit hole and found out that VW is Latin-American and her son played Dexter's brother on Dexter S01?

As long as the characters will be pro capitalism, everything will be fine

These couple of videos from the Italian broadcast have popped up in the last year

Has everyone seen this?

Our 42-page, 2008-born Capitol thread is extremely interesting, yet I really don't think anyone was particularly inspired by it.

Someone was speculating she was returning full term? I wonder what's left to do for her.

Honestly I wish Liam would stay AND officially become a villain. Not Sheila-villain but an openly, unapologetically dishonest, disingenuous and manipulative character.

Absolutely. It's kisses and people falling off balconies. The older Brad gets, the more prude he becomes.

I'm not even kidding - this was art.

You're actually convincing me to try the other French soaps. I'm beginning to see the silliness in DNA, but I still crave some daily drama to be hooked to and I'm drooling over the looks of the French soaps. I also noticed how DNA includes so much diversity. There's two characters on a wheel-chair and one of them has a story that doesn't revolve around their wheel chair at all. I think it's amazing. There's so many empty, forgotten places in Europe that would thrive from initiatives like this. I wonder if over time Sete will be affected by overtourism and they'll have to change locations, who knows.
