Has anyone been watching the-n recently? Degrassi went downhill for a bit but im addicted again. I am loving the Paige/Alex stuff. Also, yay for Paige & Spinner again... tho im kinda into paige & jesse also. IMO, Degrassi is at its best when Paige is on the most! Also diggin Emma having sex, esp since she was concived on Degrassi Jr High. Darcy & Peter are super cute as well.

The Best Years... im addicted to it already. I love Samantha Best, and i kinda relate to a lot shes going through. Trying to find herself, doing things she never thought she would, etc. I also love ALL of the other people on the show, esp her roomie!

I cant wait for South Of Nowhere to come back, this is perhaps the best teen show ive ever seen. I love Ash & Spencer and there troubled relationship.Its realistic.. gay str8 bi whatever. we all go our first love and in the new season we see spencer deal with her first broken heart, a new girl to fast, and her jelousy of Ash & Aiden. Oh, and Aiden is such a hottie... that doesnt hurt.

And then there are the Laguna Beach reruns.. real, fake, whatever it is i have been addicted to this show from the start. I love watching Kristen & Chase do there on/off thing. And Talan... oh, boy i love u so!!

Also, i love Instant Star, but i dont think Sadie will be on the new ones because she joined Smallville as Supergirl.

I hate Paige (and Emma) with a passion... and Paige/Alex seems to be a cheap, badly done version of South of Nowhere's Spencer and Ashley. My Degrassi hate has in full force lately, so I won't go into the crap they did late season with my favorite characters. I will say this, I would start watching again full time if they did something good with Liberty... but since they don't seem to care about the character, I probably don't have to worry about them actually making any effort.

I enjoyed South of Nowhere this past season, though I could have totally did without Chelsea's baby death and anything having to do with Aiden. This season has also made me dislike Kyla, I feel sorry when Ashley has to deal with her. Overall, it was a pretty good season.

I tried to what The Best Years, but I found Sam to be really annoying overall. I could never get into Instant Star, so I nothing about it. I kinda enjoyed Beyond the Break, but my attention was lacking this past season.

Oh i have mad emma hate. but nothing but paige love. lol. and lib is in the new season a lot more than anyother season, from what i gather anyways.

I loved SON this season. and u dont like Aiden? hes one of my faves. IDK why but he is.

And as for the best years, i agree about sam, at least for the frist few eppys. But i fell for her rommie Katherne and the geeky guy Noah. They are what got me hooked.

BTB - never got into it. And the new show they have, about a girl or something like that looks lame.

Well, she did have a major role as the show was about a family moving from Ohio to LA, and all the things that they have to deal with. She's the mother of the family, and in the first season there was a storyline with her and the husband/father having marital problems.

But since the Spencer and Ashley relationship blew up, the show became about them (and most fans think that any show that doesn't focus on them suck... I'm not one of them). So, now her role is the disapproving mother as she doesn't like that her daughter is a lesbain, but deals with it because she loves her. Also, her husband supported Spencer, and it was causing grief and a bit of a rift between them at one point. The mid season finale, had her, Paula, and Spencer (along with the dad) going to LA's Gay Pride Festival. Showing that she's really making an effort to be there for Spencer and approve of her lifestyle.

    • @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. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
