I thought this might be an interesting topic going into 2026. I'm asking what people hope will happen in the next year. Not predictions, but what each of you would like to see on each/any of the soaps or just for the soap genre in general.
A couple of mine:
BTG: It picks up in the ratings and renews for S3. It has brought a whole new hope for the genre and needs to succeed in order for any consideration of more new soaps.
They get rid of Tomas, Derek, and Carlton.
Nicole/Kial become a hot new couple.
When the show hires actors for new roles they continue to bring in experienced soap actors as they have with Greg Vaughan and Jordi Vilasuso. A "newbie" now and then is fine, but then there is the potential for another Tomas or Derek.
B&B: I hope the potential for the two rival fashion houses comes to full fruition and drives story for the year.
No more "stalker" storylines like Luna and now Dylan.
More Forresters and not faux Forrester Ridge's family. Felicia. Kristen. Rick. Bridget (more often).
Less Will and Electra.
Not one fake going to die-then doesn't die storyline. Eric and Liam were enough. There's no investment when you assume they won't die.
Y&R: A new headwriter. First and foremost.
Finish this darn AI story all together. I don't want to hear "AI" or "Dumas" even once!
Less Victor and Phyllis. Tired of both of them. Billy also, but not to the same degree.
Have more Traci and Ashley, Lauren/Michael.
Bring more romance, family issues, anything other than 24/7 business talk.
A couple of new sets. Less scenes at Society and Crimson Lights.
Admittedly, I don't watch DAYS or GH anymore, but I follow a bit online to know some of what is going on.
DAYS:
Bring back Bo & Hope and Shawn.
Cut the time between film and air dates. I know, I know, but these are hopes. lol
Less Leo. Less Dimeras. More Hortons/Bradys.
GH:
Not one back-from-the-dead story all year.
More hospital drama since it's called General Hospital. Again, I know!
A new man for Elizabeth and give Becky a storyline.
Wrap up Drew and Willow's story and let them leave Port Charles...together...or separate...but leave.
In general:
A few I'd like to see return to daytime (not already mentioned above):
Gina Tognoni
Kassie DePaiva
Jermaine Rivers
Kelly Monaco
Krista Allen
