  • Members

Over the years ,we as soap fans have endured some stupid and silly soap opera plots.Some were laughable,some drove us nuts,and some bored us to tears.Here are my picks:

AMC= Erica Being a Vegas Girl,Janet filling a tractor trailer with laughing gas and having kidnapped victims,Krystal,Adam,Opal,Brooke,and Joe actually laughing(I thought that was actually funny Janet doing that)

OLTL= The Badhra Diamond Story: The diamond was suppose to give the person who possessed it great power and Mitch Lawrence wanted that diamond,too.

GH= The Ice Princess Caper: An ice machine was going to freeze all of Port Charles and that was apart of the Luke and Laura Mania.

Y&R= Ashley stealing Victor's sperm need we say more?

B&B= Brooke and Ridge ,Round 300

ATWT= The Spa Storyline

GL= Reva The Clone

DAYS= Rex and Cassie being introduced as aliens from outerspace but turn out to be Kate and Roman's children

Passions: Hell In the Closet and Sheridan In the Pit.

- Ashley stealing the sperm was stupid on paper and in the beginning, but the aftermath of her breast cancer and Olivia's affair with Brad and the video confession and the secret about the baby and Ashley's relationship with Victor which all led to the Emmy in 2004!!

- The spa story was good up until the aging thing, which would have been better not there! Oye!! Hogan is good but he can sure miss as well.

that was also tied to the stupid magic/holographic Camille projections that she used to appear to Tad

I cant remember how it goes, but what was the deal with that voodoo priestess in Jamaica that was involved with Noah and Julia? I cant recall but I remember it being silly and stupid

On PC, anyone remember the psychic espionage crap? That was the show's WORST storyline. That was just stupid and silly for the show and even before the overboard vampire stuff in the last year

Oh Cheap - that was one of my favorite AMC stories! haha - Julia and Noah were on the run in Jamaica - mainly from Taylor Roxbury-Cannon, but also the police. There was a waterfall scene when they were being chased - anyway gorgeous location shoots. Anyway, Mateo and Hayley were involved as well - and they used Corrine, this Jamaican woman, to give them voodoo potion to allow them to appear dead - and then Mateo and Hayley put their bodies in caskets and secretly flew them back to Pine Valley, where eventually Noah was found innocent and Taylor was given the BOOT. (Although I loved Taylor too).

This also helped bring Mateo and Hayley closer together officially - and made me grow to love them even more.

Oh and I remember once when Noah visited Corrine on the island in her little hut and there was this huge tarantula that started crawling on Noah - it was intense!

GL: Time Travel

Reva/Cuban Immigrants

Y&R: Ashley stealing sperm. Ick.

Days: The goop. Yep the goop.

AMC: There's been quite some silly stories told on AMC in the past few years. What about the story that had Colleen Dion's character going after Tad Martin. Proteus was just stupid. The reveal was good, but the entire sl was stupid.

    • @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.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see.
