Best and Worst Moments in Soaps this year

[MatinèeGirl]

EastEnders

BEST

Perry Fenwick as Billy.He's been great in every storyline he's been given.

Introducing new characters such as Kevin,Carly,Deano,Denise,Libby,Bert and May.

Pauline's death I hate to see her go but it was such a gripping storyline.

Getting rid of the gangster storylines and returning to the character based plots.

WORST

Chelsea Fox and Max Branning

Not bringing back Nick Cotton

Having Pauline re-married

Ian and Jane's non wedding if I ever see Jane crying again I might become a serial killer

ATWT

BEST

Nothing there wasn't a storyline or character I did enjoy.

WORST

Katie/Mike/Simon-Been there done that and got the t-shirts all 10.000 of them

Paul/Meg/Em-I always loved Emily and I hate the fact that they ruined her in order to shove Pwegh down our throats

The Craig and Lucy re-casts-Let's face it Hunt Block owns that part not even Al Pacino could replace him.I always hated Peyton List but after seeing Spencer Grammer I'm thinking of starting a Peyton List fanclub.

Not having good storylines for characters such as Nancy,Lucinda,Kim,Bob,Tom,Margo,Susan.

Well, I just don't get why people like him and would want to see more. We see enough of the younger characters as it is now, and I wouldn't want Luke in there too since I don't like him... or is it the acting I don't like... don't know really. lol

[Ms. Walsh]

I can't believe that the show managed to find a re-cast that was actually worse than the original Lucy. oy!

That's what I don't understand! The last thing this show needs is more new characters...they can't even use the ones they have now. It's no longer about characters being "too old" (which is still a BS excuse IMO) b/c even younger characters don't get storylines or play really minor roles in storylines.

Yet the show continues to re-cast characters. Now, even Faith Snyder, who's 11 or 12 (??) is getting her own storyline?? WTF!

[SpiritualJunkie]

Fun read!

I didn't know that Julie Pinson & Billy Warlock were an item once upon a time, much less got married recently! That's quite a story!

Anyway, I did a sketchy tally and here are the most popular responses:

BEST:

Days - JER gets fired and is replaced by Hogan (8 votes)

GH - Genie Francis' return (6 votes)

GL wins 4 acting awards at the Daytime Emmys (4 votes)

ATWT - Carjack's breakup (4 votes)

ATWT - Jennifer's death (3 votes)

Days - Zach's death (3 votes)

ATWT - Luke comes out (3 votes)

WORST:

It was a two way tie!

GL - Reva's cancer storyline (7 votes)

AMC unwrites Erica's abortion (7 votes)

GH wins Outstanding Drama at the Emmys/JPP's smug speech (3 votes)

ATWT - Simon's return (3 votes)

B&B - Brooke & Ridge hook up for the millionth time (3 votes)

Days - Jack dies again (3 votes)

So what exactly happened with Erica's unabortion?? I had no idea that this story was even going on at AMC.

Eek..now I gotta start writing my commentary and I'm still iffy on which best/worst I'm gonna go with.

[DH23]

Here's mine:

GH:

Best: Not one thing I liked

Worst:

The Summer of Sleaze (I can't believe no one has mentioned this)

Steve and Becky spouting off bullshit to the magazines every chance they get

Guza still having a job so he can reek havoc

The firing of Stuart Damon (a travesty)

AMC:

Best: Zarf/Zoe

Annie/Ryan (MCE rocks my socks)

Worst: A lot of things including the continued propping of several characters (ie. Kendall, Zach, Josh, etc.)

JR coming an evil mean mo fo

Colby, Sydney, Shawn, basically all the teens

Jamie/Julia (can't they find something better for an Emmy nominated actress - Sydney Penny?)

(okay so maybe AMC was worse than I thought)

GL:

Best:

Cassie/Josh

Hiring Nicole Forester (that lady is amazing IMHO)

Ava as Olivia's daughter (even though I can't stand Ava)

Giving Bradley Cole Emmy worthy material for a change

Hiring Marcy Rylan

Marina and A-M's romance although it was too short

Worst:

Ava/Alan-Michael/Coop (its painful for me)

Reva didn't die like I hoped

Inside the Lights
