Our shows are now going to be on a weekly basis, every Monday night since that is our biggest night of the week overall. Being able to schedule a month in advance, I have scheduled our usual segments every Monday night at 8:30 PM eastern time. If my work schedule conflicts, Chandler will be able to carry on w/o me, if not we can make it later in the evening when I do get off. Either way, you all will be able to get In the Zone. :)

How about them apples, folks? This way, we can ask fellow SON members about topics they want to discuss and just rant or praise to their heart's desire.

Hope to see you all there, and love to hear some feedback. Chandler and all of you guys ROCK!

Ha, listened to the latest! I agree with you Na'Vell- I call it S-O-N. I've never referred to it as 'son.' :lol:

Cute lil debate you guys.

The monkey guy was nuts.

Loved the talk about the writers strike. One good thing that came out of that: Donna M Swajeski, the best thing that ever happened to 'AW' in my lifetime.

Interesting thoughts on the Maureen storyline. That was so controversial at the time. If I'm not mistaken, JFP was involved with that decision, which began her MO of driving beloved female characters off their shows (hi AW's Frankie, OLTL's Cassie & Dorian, GH's Laura & realCarly (Sarah Brown)).

Loved that you mention GL's Sonni/Solita storyline. Michelle Forbes was PHENOMENAL in the dual role. I had always thought she earned an Emmy nomination for her work, but every time I check the archives, she's not listed. I'm convinced she was nommed in 88 or 89 though. I distinctly remember it. Can anyone help me out?>

"If I'm not mistaken, JFP was involved with that decision, which began her MO of driving beloved female characters off their shows."

Ohh yeah.

The show needed money to pay Justin Deas who was coming on the show. So JFP had a focus group and Maureen did not score very well in that group. So she and the writers (Curlee and Demorest) killed her off. In an interview years after, JFP cited Maureen's death as one of the biggest mistakes in her daytime career.

"I had always thought she earned an Emmy nomination for her work, but every time I check the archives, she's not listed. I'm convinced she was nommed in 88 or 89 though."

I don't have my Emmy book here at school, but I believe she *was* nominated for an Emmy for that storyline. Don't quote me on that though.

I believe she was nominated for her work in 1989. I remember Kim Zimmer winning that year for the episode where she talks Sonni off the bridge when she's going to commit suicide. I think that's even the clip they played. If I'm not mistaken, Michelle Forbes also submitted that episode.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
