If you had more time...


Recommended Posts

I don't think anyone's ever asked this before.

Days was currently on my VCR schedule but since I have little to no time to watch TV and I'm too dedicated to GL, I've taken it off my schedule again. And as much as I've come to detest ATWT, I'd still watch it from time to time just to see what was going on...if I had more time.

So how about the rest of you? Are there other soaps you wish you had time to watch or other soaps you've been floundering about trying to decide if you should watch or not but the lack of time gets in the way? Or is the one soap you watch barely keeping you interested as it is?

That's a tough question there, because It would be hard for me to just start watching a new show at this point, it would take a few months just to get into the storylines, though if I had to choose I would say either GH or AMC, because I do have alittle bit of history with both shows, which would make it easier for me to watch.

Back when I picked up ATWT about 10 years ago it was very hard for me to get into it, but I finally did, I have been watching B&B and Y&R for like 15 or more years now.

I keep up with all soaps but some I only have been watching 1-2 times a month. I used to be able to watch more but I just don't have the time anymore.

The only soap I truely watch everyday is AMC.

I watch Days, GH, Y&R 2-3 times a week

The other 5 I try and watch as much as I can.

What I wish for the most...

I wish I could watch Days everyday.

I wish I could watch Passions and ATWT more than I do now.

I currently watch 7 of the 9 soaps everyday - thanks to Soap Net. I watch the CBS lineup live everyday, and then watch Days, AMC, and GH on SoapNet every night at 10:00, 12:00, and 2:00 a.m. (Yes now you know I go to bed late every night LOL)

The only 2 I don't watch everyday are Passions and One Life To Live.

I still love Passions but even if I had time I probably wouldn't watch it everyday. I have seen so many soaps die - watching them until the last day - I just can't do it again. I don't know if I will ever watch another closing episode of a soap. Another World's death nearly did me in.

OLTL even though it is improving still has lost me as a viewer. I just can't get back completely into it yet.

I still tape AW on SoapNet but don't get to watch it every week. I just try to keep them for awhile and then watch them later.

I would love to be able to catch Ryan's Hope reruns on SoapNet

I tend to keep up with all the soaps. I always said that if I got Soapnet I would never get anything done, LOL and now I have it! So...I will for sure be adding DAYS and GH to my viewing.

I watch Y&R, B&B each day.

ATWT sometimes, it's boring as of late to me!

GL each day, but DAYS and GH come on at the same time...so I'm glad I have Soapnet to watch!!

I would get into Days and GL hardcore, that's for sure.

Right now it's just Y&R with a close eye on B&B and GH.

I used to watch OLTL, but Dena Higley burned my eyeballs with McNostril's raging case of plastic exzema and his totally unexpected :rolleyes: Return from a Firey Death last November Sweeps. That and the fact they dumped Tangeline in favor of all the insta-StuporCouples.

ATWT will always be first and foremost for me.

I also watch DAYS, but it's a distant second for me.

I wish B&B didn't air opposite DAYS so I could tape both. I have to watch B&B live or not at all.

I'm pretty satisfied with the ones I'm watching now and I don't have the desire to pick up another one.

    • "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.)
