NO, IF THERE IS ANY JUSTICE IN THE WORLD, Y&R & GH WILL BE THE LAST 2 REMAINING AMERICAN DAYTIME DRAMAS ON THE AIR. Y&R, GH & OLTL ARE FILLED WITH A LOT OF POTENTIAL. DO U NOW AGREE THAT OLTL CAN BE ABC'S Y&R? THAT Y&R & GH CAN ENTER THEIR GOLDEN AGES?

MAX'S THREAD IS FAR FROM BEING A SILLY ONE. IT'S AN INTELLIGENT ONE THAT HE WORKED HARD ON COMPOSING. HE IDENTIFIED PSN FALSEHOODS & PRESENTED ARGUMENTS TO THEM IN AN ARTICULATE WAY. BEST POST OF JAN. 07 GOES TO: MAX.

I WILL NEVER LEAVE Y&R & GH OUT OF ANYTHING!

First of all, I CAN argue it. (Oh hell, I'm stooping to your level but who cares? I love my show).

EIGHT YEARS on the air makes the show a success, no matter what.

TONS of press and buzz, including TV Guide (NOT Michael Logan) naming JER one of all of TV's "most valuable players" in writing, back in 2001, makes the show a success.

THE MILLIONS OF SMILES brought to the faces of all who enjoy Tabitha and Timmy, Tabitha and Endora, the supernatural and other campy hijinks of the show that made people laugh, make the show a success.

As for ratings, "Passions" surpassed expectations in its first few years, climbing up to 2.9 and maintaing 2's -- something "Sunset Beach" could NEVER do, consistently.

It wasn't until JER [!@#$%^&*]ed it up that things went downhill.

But the show, make no mistake, WAS a success.

Heh, do you thing that Y&R/GH/ATWT or even your AW begun with spectacular acting? A lot of the actors ultimately grew into their role, and even ventured out into better things. I think PSNS cast started to get really bad during 2004ish. Not to mention the placement of actors, made the show come off badly acted. Also, the cast had to suffer with repetitive and outlandish writing for the most part, though some did a great job in still dishing the goods.

Besides bad acting + bad writing = the obvious.

Max now that PASSIONS is cancelled, I sincerely hope that you can move on. Holding a grudge over a soap opera that has been cancelled for nearly a decade is depressing. I understand missing the soap opera, but from your posts it seems like you were out for vengeance. Just saying :)

    • From the original report, via Variety (December 2020): ❝ The project is currently titled Pine Valley, named after the fictional Philadelphia suburb that served as the setting for All My Children. In the new series, a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families. ❞
    • Yes; plus, it's supposedly the home of the trauma Alexis experienced when they were in that storyline, etc., a.k.a., another recycled and redressed set. Wouldn't surprise me, especially since Melgar did the "GH Live!" episodes and those weird-ahh outros we got. Although, given that Melgar has been more aligned with the views of ex-Jax, part of me feels like she wouldn't be asked back.  Probably because of Luke, and if Laura accepts Sonny, then the audience automatically will, too. I mean, because she does means you do, right?! Right?!
    • Yes, Portugal qualifying was definitely a shock. I'm not crazy about the Ukrainian entry either, but that was always going to qualify for obvious reasons.  I was a bit surprised that they had the video message from Cèline Dion already in the semifinal. I would have thought they would save that for the final on Saturday.
    • Of course. With my luck Frank would probably bring Lily back from the dead and pay Lilly Melgar to do a cameo with Sonny instead though.

      Seriously, I know I am late to the party, but why are Sonny and Laura bff?  They've always been friends or friendly although I never considered them to be super-duper close.  I always thought Laura mostly tolerated him for Luke's sake.  The way the show is pretending they've had this decades long tight knit friendship is just weird and OTT.  
    •   It's just so much fun!   She really was what made the show come together. I remember thinking what a mistake it was to write her out temporarily. I wonder how I'll feel during this rewatch, but I'm fairly certain her absence contributed to the show ending after season 5.
    • Thank you @Paul Raven The Kay/Kill stuff sounds like fire.   @soapfan770 I saw someone asking about old episodes you had... in case anyone has old tapes but not a VCR, DM me, I am willing to convert them for free.
    • I think Krista is too hot or her. I think the current actress works bc she comes across so basic. Thats not a dig but she feels very normal and relatable as an average suburban woman. I think if Krista was in the role, Id want more out of her but I dont think Jan is meant for bigger things

    • The sad thing about SC being a great actor is that his character has never worked. Ever. And yes if I don't know what Liam is about and just focus on acting... I can appreciate him. But as soon as I connect him to Liam... I cringe.  Maybe SC should run till he is still young and find himself a role where he can shine.
