I think they're pretty much on the money with most their assessments.

Two things however totally knocked me to the floor:

1. They give Y&R a very deserved C-, yet it is in recent weeks in their "Shows to watch"-section numero 1???

2. Kyle Lowder as best actor on B&B - LMAO! I'm so sorry, this is nothing but a joke.

Apart from that; I think it's pretty good.

I mostly agree. AMC desevers a D becuse right now theres not major storyline! Also MMT messed everything up from the start! The new writers have only one way to go and that up! That is so true!!

  • Member

The only thing I would have to disagree is that Babe and Jr are not the wrost love story. I think they look hot together but until McTavish messed them up! HATE THAT B!TCH! WHERE IS SHE NOW? WHO CARES!

Pretty much dead-on, but Julie Pinson (DAYS, Billie) as worst actor? And it's Thaao, not Thaoo.

I disagree with them on love stories for AMC....Best Love Story is hands down Zach/Kendall, not Ryan/Annie (who I find okay and tolerable at best). Worst love story is definitely not JR/Babe they have a lot of chemistry. Now if Josh/Babe and Jeff/Erica are still considered, then either one should be worst love story

Julie Pinson as worst DAYS actor is outrageous. She's done an excellent job with practically no material. Trevor Donovan is the *only* choice for that award.

I agree with most of their other picks.

AS THE WORLD TURNS — GRADE: C+

Best storyline: Carly returns (ehhh)

Worst storylines: Alison’s crystal meth/sex worker storyline; Cleo’s existence (Totally agree with this)

Best love triangle: Katie/Jack/Carly (:blink:)

Best comic relief: Brad and Henry (Neither are that funny...)

Best love story: Luke and Noah (What love story? :blink: )

Worst love stories: Craig and Meg; Paul and Meg; Emily and Dusty (I'd have to add Jack & Katie and Will & Gwen to the list)

Best acting: Maura West (Carly)

Worst acting: Scott Bryce (Craig) (What is this person smoking???

Prospective future: ATWT isn’t its usual consistent self these days, but now that Maura is back, the show should start cooking soon. (As good as Maura is, she can't save the rest of the garbage these writers are spewing out)

GUIDING LIGHT— GRADE: B

Best storyline: Tammy’s death; Jonathan and Sarah’s disappearance (Totally agree..I'd add Alan & Doris's marriage but that quickly went nowhere)

Worst storylines: Josh becomes a minister; Buzz/Olivia/Jeffrey (Among others...)

Best acting: Tom Pelphrey (ex-Jonathan); Beth Ehlers (Irna Phillips)

Worst acting: Nicole Forrester (Cassie) (Obviously, they haven't seen a lot of Michelle Ray Smith :rolleyes: I think Forester does the best she can with the material she's given)

Best love story: Mallet and Dinah (Meh)

Most annoying character: Ava (So why didn't MRS get worst acting again??)

Prospective future: GL started 2007 with a bang, but once again, this soap is either bloody brilliant or just plain awful. (My sentiments exactly)

The writing for Billie is horrible, but no way is JP a bad actress. And Lucas and Sami as best love story? Eh, the show doesn't have a single good love story anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter who get called the best.

On GH: Why is Steve Burton considered the best actor? I've only been watching for a little over 6 months, and I consider him on the worst on the show.

Really don't get some of the ATWT stuff....SCOTT BRYCE "worst acting"....what, are they on Hunt Block's payroll?

And the Noah/Luke "best love story", when they've been on a handfull of times? GMAB.

IF Katie/Jack/Carly is best triangle....it ain't because it's well-written, that's for sure. KACK is one of the worst examples of plot-driven "romance" in all of Daytime.

AS THE WORLD TURNS — GRADE: C+ (I'd give it a B+ but hey at least its a passing grade)

Best storyline: Carly returns (Right on the money with this one)

Worst storylines: Alison’s crystal meth/sex worker storyline; Cleo’s existence (Lol at Alison. Cleo is actually good)

Best love triangle: Katie/Jack/Carly (Definitely right on this one... :P I swear Bratie today was awesome)

Best comic relief: Brad and Henry (Brad yes...Henry not so much.)

Best love story: Luke and Noah ( :rolleyes: When I see more scenes that actually revolve around the two of them I'll agree. Right now its looking more like Maddie and Noah are a couple)

Worst love stories: Craig and Meg; Paul and Meg; Emily and Dusty (Hes so wrong about Peg...)

Best acting: Maura West (Carly) (Yeah Baby)

Worst acting: Scott Bryce (Craig) (HUH? Even though I love Hunt Block to death Scott Bryce is doing a great job with Craig)

Prospective future: ATWT isn’t its usual consistent self these days, but now that Maura is back, the show should start cooking soon.

I couldn't agree more about ATWT's future. I think this year could be better than last. Looking forward to Katie choosing between Brad and Jack as well as Carly and her kids. Plus the teen scene is probably the best one on TV right now. And then you've got the upcoming preteens with JJ/Faith/Parker...

They're pretty much right about everything else going on on the other soaps minus a few things. I'm glad they said Cristian and Evangeline were the worst love story on OLTL. However I disagree that nuMarty is a bad casting.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS — GRADE: C-

Best storyline: Jack and Nikki's senate race

Worst storylines: Gloria marries Will; Daniel's porn addiction

Best acting: Victoria Rowell (ex-Dru)

Worst acting: Adrienne Frantz (Amber)

Best love story: Nick and Phyllis

Worst love stories: Sharon and Jack; Colleen and Adrian; Cane and Amber

Most annoying characters: Amber and Gloria

Biggest waste of talent: Eric Braeden (Victor)

Dumbest plot twist: Phillip isn't Katherine's son” Cane is.

Prospective future: Nothing will change on this show; we have to accept that this once character-driven masterpiece is now a plot-driven disappointment since headwriter Lynn Marie Latham is also the executive producer.

OUCH....yet so true. I wonder if this LML woman reads all this stuff and what she could POSSIBLY think about when she gets into the office or goes home at work. She MUST know how many people hate her Y&R. And yet nothing changes...God if she even got rid of Gloria I bet she'd get some slack. But now we're guaranteed to have GloHo on our screens for months I bet.

Best Love Story: PHICK! ^_^;):lol::wub:

Thanks for the Report Card btw.
