First off, I just want to say thank you to those who made my blog number one this week. I also want to say thank you to those who contributed to the episodes. And I want to say thanks to those who congratulated me.

As much as I like that I came out on top for the first week of sweeps, now I'm under PRESSURE, lol, to keep it up.

I predict my ratings will kinda of drop until the week of Thanksgiving (I'm hoping it won't but I'm sure it will). I'm going to spend the next two weeks to set up my the big drama week that I have set up for the last week of November.

I read most of the blogs (the ones that are active) and I think everyone did an amazing job this for the first week of sweeps.

Keith, your banner is almost done :)

Hey Drew, how's that magazine idea coming along?

Ryan, I do still have plans to start up a magazine based on the SON blogs. I have a lot currently going on with the end of the semester coming soon and I'm transferring to a new school for the spring semester, so I'll have my handsful until after the new year. Hopefully we'll have something ready by early-07.

Congratulations Ryan! By the way, LOVED the reveal on Friday! Keep up the good work. I'm surprised King & Life in Salem are so low this week- both were very good, but I LOVED the John Black reveal on LIS this week so thought it would have been higher than it was. Congratulations Keith! Nice to see you get a jump this week. Thanks again for doing this Drew- it's fascinating to watch how things change from week to week.

Congrats Ryan and Keith.

Wow...I didn't think we would do that bad. I had the big Sami/Alan showdown and the ball.. I guess the length of the episodes may have turned people off or maybe everyone else has stepped up their game. More likely the latter is the case.

That is ok-I have the biggest stuff yet to come so November will be an interesting race indeed :)

Yeah, Josh, "The Light" did nudge up this week, didn't it? Good for you- considering the lack of enthusiasm for GL round these parts, that's quite a feat. I'm pretty anxious for my launch tomorrow. I've been working on it a lot the past couple of days, and I've been pleasantly surprised that some word has spread about it within the SB online community. Which, of course, makes me feel even more pressure than before. SB fans aren't just pleased with a run-of-the-mill soap. That's what makes us SB fans :D

I'm impressed that the total views are so high this week as well. Makes everyone step up their game, which is always a good thing.

    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
