Y&R: July 2025 Discussion Thread
It's kind of funny that Damien was killed by a deranged Lane shipper.

Knots Landing
The numbers are small for a subreddit, but I like that Knots Landing is the first 80’s soap who has over a thousand subreddit subscribers. Poor Falcon Crest just has 96 subreddit subscribers.

GH: July 2025 Discussion Thread
It's still better than MB on his youtube show the other day thinking that Emma is Anna's daughter.

GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread
There's something hilarious about Natalia being all "I'm going to have leave my entire life and family behind for you" and a disinterested Sonny is like "but you're going to have a really pretty house and the weathers nice".

GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread
It is kind of hilarious how at this point in the show, Sonny and Jason's "romantic lives" seem to based around completely platonic relationships with woman they mainly only know through their daughter/nephew.

GH: Actor OUT!
I really wonder what happened here. I liked his return when he was actually on screen, but he was so rarely played with anyone but a few characters that he doesn't really feel like a loss for the show. His comeback felt more like a circa-2013 recurring GH vet return like Kevin or Duke rather than a leading player.

Little Brownie Man (or LBM) is fated to become his nickname here.

I can't help think how weird it is that since Drew is member of Congress, within the GHverse, that video Lulu and other people are taking of him may end up as national news and (given the small difference in seats between Democrats and Republicans IRL in the House) could affect important health care legislation. Not that we know what party Drew is in of course.

GH: April 2025 Discussion Thread
There is no reason Drew can't be anything more than a guy corrupted by power who has turned into an ass. The actors who played the classic rich morally challenged/villainous characters on the soaps have unfortunately almost all passed away in the last 20 years and we need newer versions . I'm not saying that CM should be the new David Canary, but we need characters like Drew (and Bill on BTG!) on the soaps.

She looks a character from that Pen15 show from a few years ago or that 70's Mexican sitcom El Chavo del Ocho.

Knots Landing
I wonder why we never really find out what exactly Gary and Val were doing during their post-Southfork pre-reuniting years. You have to think Alcoholic Gary Ewing in the late 60's would get into some trouble.

Knots Landing
No remaster ( I figured that was the case) but it still looks a little better than the 20 year old soapnet episode's that were the real only way to watch the show online for the past few years.

Falcon Crest
As someone who watched the show for the first time when it started streaming on Freevee, I think any part of season 2 is the most "pure" Falcon Crest.

Dallas Discussion Thread
I bought season 7 on Apple and the HD combined with the Bradford May lighting gives it a very un-Dallas like cinematic feel.

Dallas Discussion Thread
Rewatching the Katherine stuff, if they just listened to Afton when she called Pam in Paris about Katherine, so many things could of been avoided for the characters. And not just on Dallas on Knots also.

Knots Landing
On some level Greg will always have a bit of a mask on. That's why moments like him crying and kind of falling apart watching Laura's farewell video after she died feels a big more special and personal than most soap grief.

Knots Landing
Eric and Michael have real "Wonder Fairgate brothers powers activate!" vibes in episode 9. On the subject of the preacher, I'm confused with what I think is supposed to be a cable news station having a religious show on it (even if the preacher seems more of a middle of the road type than a Pat Robertson type). Howard Duff who played Paul Galveston played a similar character on Dallas a few years later.

Knots Landing
With Greg, they really do a consistent line of Greg keeping the mask on for the rest of the show (although in later seasons it would be more the case of Greg meeting almost every remark with a sarcastic quip). And it makes the rare cases of the viewers seeing Greg's true emotions seem special (Greg's private reaction to Laura's video after her death is one of the few things on a primetime soap that have ever brought me to tears).

Knots Landing
Since I rewatched this episode a few days ago my question is what kind of horrible horror movie-like nightmare was Oliva having that Abby had to sleep in the same bed as her? I will pretend she was having some premonition about Val's baby's being stolen. And I love that the Cul- De- Sac is such a close place that Michael appears to know Gary's ranch house telephone number by heart.

Knots Landing
I've been rewatching season 6 and I have to say that episode 9 is one of the best episodes I can remember. The combination of Richard Gollance and Larry Elikan is a good one.

Knots Landing
Petersen was in the opening in season 11 and 12. Shaw was never in the opening. Crowe was only in the season 11 opening but she probably had more actual screen time in the couple seasons before that.

Knots Landing
Michael stays around till the end of season 12 and has a decent sized storyline in season 11. I think Eric leaves the show sometime in season 8 and comes back a few times for the Michael/Eric/Linda storyline but unfortunately Steve Shaw passed away during season 12. I think Olivia's storylines were okay until her last season. That was the season after Donna Mills left.
