ATWT: C-[/b]

The Good: Luke/Maddie/Noah- all actors are doing a terrific job in this storyline, which we are not seeing enough off. Maura West: having Carly back is a big improvement fot this show, Marie Masters: seeing Susan involved in a storyline is great, even though it's Allison's story, Marie brings so much realism to the character of Susan.

The Mediocre: The teens (JJ, Sage, Faith, and Parker) are likeable and can actually act. The great group od recurring actors: Terri Gaber, Robin Mattson, etc.

The Bad: Cleo (glad that is over!) Jade leaving (just when I was finding the character instersting.)Where are the vets? Don Hastings, Helen Wagner, Scott Holmes, and Eileen Fulton. The Paul/Meg/Craig/Lucinda mess. Holden and Lily headed for another breakup. And last but certainly not least----- KACK!

B&B: A

It has been extremely flawless as of late. Heck it might even be A+ on certain days. The dialogue is to die for, they suddenly use the whole cast (I'm sure LAD is back in the mix very soon), storylines rotate as I've haven't seen it on soaps in years, the acting has been very good. Fantastic, and a real classic soap opera. Kudos to Brad Bell & the Y&R cast-aways...

2007 overall mark: B+ with an increasing tendency

Y&R: Mark withheld

I'm no longer watching but when I catch 5 seconds I want to shake my head against a wall. It is nothing but dumb, the dialogue is extremely bad, there are only few good actors left in decent stories and the music is like stolen from a videogame.

2007 overall mark: D+ witha declining tendency to F

GH - B

Good - Feisty, energetic, Carly. The show would be so dull without her. Noah becoming a rock star. I love the dual Rick Springfield's. The Jason paternity story is getting real good. Kate and Sonny.

Bad - Jax has been gone too long. The Iraq story. Not every military person returning from Iraq is a psycho/drug addict. The whole Logan and his father story does nothing for me. Kelly leaving the bar and attempting sex with Jerry, and she is a friend of Robins, and a doctor? That's bad.

Ugly-Alan Q "fading". I so hope they tell us he is alive. Not much story for the older characters like Monica Tracy Edward and you know the rest. When will soaps get a clue?

OLTL - C

I would give OL a B except for the loser character of Marty.

Good - Todd is back.

Bad - Evangleine is not back. David is leaving.

Ugly - How will Michael and Rex explain they kept Tommy's identity a secret?

    • The rumor Zimmer writes about sounds like something Paul Rauch would have told Zimmer about Jacqueline Courtney as a way to discredit Courtney as Rauch loved to do that sort of thing. Zimmer probably just retroactively fit it into her story. Zimmer does not have good sense of time in her memoir. Who knows?!!? Zimmer strikes me as someone who always has to be competing with women.  Zimmer and 1986: If I had no context and someone told me that someone in the 1986 scenes would win four Emmys, I would immediately pick Denniston. Granted, I've only watched about a week's worth, but my word, Zimmer just fades into the background even when she's the main player in the storyline. There's no life in her performances. It feels that Zimmer is unhappy and that she's letting it impact her acting. 
    • I'm dreading going into the ninth season; I've got to be mentally ready for it.

       Does not help these seasons are damn near thirty episodes. Twenty-two should've been their cut-off.
    • True. I did enjoy the episodes surrounding Greg's faux death, too. @Liberty City Agreed, it started pretty slow, but once Jill falls off the cliff, I was more invested for some reason. Yes, I genuinely enjoyed the episodes surrounding Greg's fake death. I agree, it began quite slowly, but once Jill fell off the cliff, I became much more invested for some reason. I guess bc more of the cast was working together.  
    • Shouldn't Laura talk to Kevin first before agreeing to her brother Martin moving in with them? Her house is like a hotel for people she never sees -- like Lucky, who she's unaware of his latest departure as a man who runs away from everything. Meanwhile, Lucky is busy giving away his cabin to Isaiah, who we've barely seen him with.
    • With Sean Kanan as Carl Ivati.
    • These episodes have been delightful so far. I enjoyed everyone who stood at the podium today, as it reminded me of all the decades of history.
    • I've actually enjoyed Lucky's return for the most part, but his "farewell tour" scenes this week are just so weird, and they keep pointing out all the opportunities the show has missed to make him more vital to the canvas. Like I think his scenes with Isaiah today--where he gave Isaiah the deed to a cabin Luke built--were the first time we've seen the two of them together all year. Why go to all the trouble to build up this friendship when Isaiah was introduced, when they basically abandoned it as soon as Lucky moved back to Port Charles?
