Pretty straightforward. Your last favorite story that you enjoyed pretty much from beginning to end...

ATWT

The Baby Switch -It wasn't as bad looking back...

Carly/Jack/Julia -So many excellent performances.

Y&R

Internet predator -Nicely done, and not too preachy

Tuvia vs. Safra -I don't think Y&R will EVER see an umbrella story of this caliber again.

GH

Lulu's abortion -Surprisingly done well

Laura awakens -Very very sad

Good idea for a thread!

All My Children

Satin Slayer- I love it :)

As the World Turns

Oakdale Slasher- everything else in 2006 and so far in 2007 has been purely boring.

Days of our Lives

Hmm...that's a tough one. I haven't enjoyed a story ALL the way through in a long time. Maybe the Gloved Hand?

Bold and the Beautiful

Stephanie's Mother

General Hospital

Spencer's Kidnapping- Simply because of the use of my beloved Helena

One Life to Live

The Execution- The last time I got to see my Margaret :( :(

Passion

Chad's Lover- I'm so intrigued!

The last storylines that I enjoyed:

AMC:

David and Erica's 2003 ruse (hot dam)

Kendall and Aidan and how they started and the beautiful friendship that blossomed from it. :)

I liked the start of Rylee, but that ended fast.

Tad and Simone

Tad and Krystal

Babe and Bianca's friendship pre-baby swap. (I was such a BaBi whore, LOL)

GH:

JaSam and the fallout from Baby Lila's death, and their love starting.

Rexis...oh my beloved Rexis. That was one super couple that GH let go to waste. Stupid Guza. :angry:

Lucky and Liz's last reunion.

Lulu's abortion. It was very well done, and played on great emotions.

Great choices for Y&R, Dru.

Those two plus Kevin as Michael's brother - What an excellent reveal.

Phyllis/Jack/Diane - Made me a Jack and Phyllis fan for LIFE.

Daniel and Lily as played by Davetta Sherwood - Love young never looked better.

Days Of Our Lives

The Salem Stalker storyline, before May 2004 (Marlena's death)... it was all downhill from the second she took her "last breath" until ... September/October 2006. The show had moments, but I haden't seen two good episodes in a row like then.

General Hospital

The romance between Ric and Alexis. I hate it when a show diminish a character or couple to prop another, and they ruin this beautiful twosome to prop Sam, Sonny, Jason, Carly, Liz and whonot. As of the breakup, they were never really in love and Liz is the queen of everything perfect. Get real PTB. The viewers SAW Ric fall in love with Alexis, they SAW her fight him every step of the way until she gave in and married the guy. They were never perfect, never saints, never flawless, but damn they were good together.

Lulu's abortion. Beautifully done.

Luke/Tracy's marriage. I LOVE them together. They're fantastic.

ATWT: James [!@#$%^&*] with Rosanna & Paul during the summer of 2004. He has baby Cabot moved and show up halfway around town. Barbara helps him escape as hes being transported. Barbara gets busted, jumps out a window and crashes her car into the psych ward to spring Will. She gets committed, Will sets her up and she's transferred into the maximum security ward where she teams up with Dr. Rick Decker. They escape, Will saves her from being strangled by Decker. Barbara goes to live with Hal under house arrest (I loved the scene where she was trying to get off her ankle bracelet by rubbing lotion to crash Paul and Rosanna's wedding, only to be foiled by Kim! :lol: ). Babs then starts drugging Emily so she can do her bidding...

Carly/Jack/Julia: Carly had some OUTSTANDING speeches during that story.

Six Keys to the Kingdom Contest: Jessica Dunphy carried that story and made it WORK! It was cheesy but she turned it into great fun.

Overall... I enjoyed most of 2004. Sans Nikki Munson & awful 2 week Molly.

GL: The whole town is out to get Phillip. Phillip kidnaps his kids, Harley is Ruth Karloff... everything up until the shooting.

PASSIONS: The Pit. Best story ever on that show. Everything else pales in comparison.

DAYS: Roman gets whacked at his wedding to Kate.

The Kevin/Michael reveal was sheer brillance. I never once calculated that possibility. When Michael said "what are you doing here?'' in such a disgusted way, I thought he was speaking to Phyllis or someone. Colored me shocked and impressed, when it was revealed to be the notorious Kevin Fisher. I also liked Phyllis/Diane sparring. Although I never warmed up to Susan Walter's Diane, she and Stafford had nice chemistry. The pool house fire was also pretty good. Phyllis was so wild then, and it's such a shame what her character has become. When DS first came on I found the Daniel/Lily relationship intolerable. But then they grew on me quite nicely. There wedding was pretty cute too.

I did like Rexis in the beginning. I wasn't in love with them, but Grahn and Hearst played nicely off one another.

That was pretty intriguing. Grant Alexander was at his FINEST. And this is when I felt in love with Beth Ehlers all over again. I remember rooting for Grant AND Christian at the emmy's. Both had such flawless year's.

PSNS

The last story I was REALLY into was 'A tale of Mrs. Julian Crane.' And also 'Charity trapped in the cave.' Okay, I did tear up a little when Miguel found her in that block of ice. Sigh. And then Timmy dying, and Juliet Mills astonishing acting.

OLTL

Nora/Daniel -OLTL does a terrific job with stories like these, which leaves me confused when they repeat murder mysteries. Hillary B. Smith was also flawless during Nora' breakdown here.

Marcie/Al - :(:(

Y&R

My last favorite DRU storyline was 'The Foster Care Story.' VR put her heart and soul into that one.

The beginning of 'Billy & Mackenzie' played by the originals.

The beginning of the Fisher family -before they became overexposed, they were such a delight to watch IMO. I loved the Christmas episode with Gloria/Abbotts :lol: :lol:

I would say 'Cassie's death' but I hated the shift to Daniel/Lily, and it ran a bit too long. For the most part it was decent.

Sharon/Nick/Phyllis -Same as Cassie, everything surrounding the affair was sizzling. But after the town found out and Victor went koo-koo it got stale.

AMC

Parts of the baby switch

Loved it initially until the whole town was turned inside out to serve she who will not be named. I even loved parts of the aftermath.

ATWT

The spa - Loved all of that.

Creative, funny and intriguing. I want Hogan to bring some of that to Days.

DOOL

The baby switch

Real, human drama. And one of the best planned stories on DOOL in years.

B&B

Amber's baby switch (I must have a thing for baby switches)

Amber's twins dying

Becky and CJ

I know exactly why I liked Amber on B&B, she was astrocious and no way was afraid to tell her so. Also she livened up the show, most of the characters were stagnant and needed some to shake them up. Not so with Y&R and she hasn't made any story more interesting.

I did catch some of AMC Baby switch because I wanted to see Heather Tom and David Tom. I admit that I enjoyed when Erica came up to Krystal and slapped her smack across the face when it was all said and done lol. I also liked there Michael Cambias story. Nice umbrella story.

I also liked Tamara Clatterbuck in DOOL Baby Switch, she's such a fun and lively actress to me. It was a shame that Y&R failed to include her until afterwards during the Cassie drama. Because I loved her on Y&R previously. Her acting is similar to Eileen Davidson's to me.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
