I've got insomnia. For the first time in a while, I don't have something stressing me out regarding school or work. It feels good to have a weight lifted off of my shoulders. However.....now I can't sleep. My roomates and I have been playing Spider-Man 3 off and on today. They're still playing it.

The wind is blowing like crazy. It's scary as hell. I think I'm gonna go down to the beach for a bit. It's peaceful there.

I agree :) I just love being told to like a show when I hate it currently :lol: Also this person needs to learn who to discuss things on a message board, I don't think they have a clue of how it goes, every one's opinion matters not just your own, and we don't force opinions on others and tell them to like different things when we don't. Learn how to communicate with us or just don't even bother is what I have to say :angry: Not to mention this poster throws around things someone might have said out of sarcasm and makes every post of theirs about it, Hello we can be sarcastic sometimes and not be flip flopping. I don't even want to be harsh about it because I like that we have another poster wanting to discuss the show, but they just need to learn how to discuss instead of dictate.

On a nicer note went to the casino last night, did ok not great spent like 10 hours on a 2 cent machine and I think I am in love with them, no more nickel machines for me. I did enjoy myself though and it will probably be 5 months before we go back, but it was good to get out of the house, now if I could just find a job.

Today was one of those perfect days that I just don't want to end. It's gorgeous out, I actually don't feel stressed out and just feel content. I spend the morning with my Momma. I hope everyone had as good as day as I did.

I've just realized that Trainer is absolutely right in the assessment that I secretly want to be a stripper. It's not even so much that I want to strip for a living, but rather actually be desirable.

    • Going by ratings, I'd say 1982. June 8, 1981 to October 5, 1984 Ryan's Hope time slot rival was Y&R. Ryan's Hope was competitive vs. Y&R until June 1982. Remainder of 1982 Ryan's Hope falls and Y&R rebounds from their post-expansion slump. 1983 Y&R blew up and we know the rest.
    • An early TV role for Carolyn Groves, the Victoria recast we deserved.

    • They are pretty rough in 1981 too, although at least we know the characters.
    • Roger mostly just had a conscience if it affected him, although there were a few bits here and there. Didn't he look out for Tangie out of loyalty to her parents?  Even at the time I don't know if I could have argued that Roger had been ruined, given that he had raped two women, but there was a complexity in the writing for Roger for most of his return until Laibson/McTavish. He just became a one-note heel. Even worse, I just found Dinah completely unwatchable as Wendy Moniz was incapable of playing a heroine (I know even the best could not have made that material work).
    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
