Are you tired of the stupid fanbase wars? Are you tired of hearing people talk about how a show sucks because "their" couple, or character isn't featured the way they believe they should? Are you a fan of the show FIRST AND FOREMOST? Then maybe this thread is for you.

I'm a big fan of GH. I love many couples on the show, but I am a GHFF. Same with DAYS, OLTL, AMC and others.

I hope to have banners done to promote the "Show Fans First" alliance. Our motto? Overall show quality over fanbase pleasing please!!!

Oh you know I'm in. I am a OLTLFF. You all know that. Never will you hear me say, "OMG, Tangeline is OLTL, or Crave is OLTL, or T&B is OLTL, because they are not.....OLTL is OLTL. Show before sex, even though sex is good. :) F*** Fanbases, and I mean that in the nicest way possible It's all about then show. I watch 6 0f 9 and I am devoted to the show. I couldnt care less about some couple.

Oh I am definately in.

Looking at a paticular thread, it reminds me WHY I am sick of all the fanbases. Days in paticular. They have become so fickle and this is why Days is falling apart. It's not even Corday anymore, IT'S THE FANBASES! Goes for all shows! These fanbases, if they don't get their couple, quit watching! THEY ARE WHAT MAKE SOAPS SUFFER! :angry:

I like this idea. Count me in as well. It seems almost silly that we would have to make this kind of proclamation, but the reality is, we do need to. If you are like me, you've been saying this for years, only to be drowned out by fanbase wars.

I'm in, too! These fanbase wars are crazy and completely unnecessary. It's time we let the soaps know that there a lot of people who just want good stories instead of a certain character or couple featured all the time. They are very vocal; we should be vocal, too!

I'm so in! These crazed fan bases are death to daytime. Hey, we should start a fan base 'against crazed fan bases'. j/k It's a complete mystery to me how one can be so caught up by a couple on a fictional tv-show to go overboard like this. I just don't get it.

I watch my shows for the actual show not for any particular couple. Yes, I have my favorites. But that's so so far from being over the top. I'm not a "fan" of Abe a Lexie really. But the scene in my banner got to me and that's why I use this banner. There might be a banner of Kristian Alfonso tomorrow simply because I like her acting, next week perhaps it's Julie Pinson.

I am in! Ryan I totally agree with you! No matter what I will stand by AMC and GH! I watch those soaps because they keep me entertained and because of the stories. Even though I love Jr/Babe on AMC that does not mean i should not watch AMC. I have watched AMC scince 1994! I hate people that watch a show just so they can watch there favorite charatcer or pairing on! LAME! <_<

Ryan I love that you started this! :D

    • Yup, i thought it was Adamson. Backtracking...I love that Kristina knows now. Her smug disrespectful attitude toward Alexis was pissing me off. If not for the blackmailing Alexis part I would be rooting for Ric. This a been a decent sweeps period for GH, I'm liking the stories right now. Good thing I can watch third party GH clips online to keep up because Beyond The Gates is keeping attention at 2PM. It's making me miss my days of living in a 3pm GH market.
    • I always thought it was a bit odd that they brought in the brother and sister of a character who had been killed off ages before, and who was the wife of a character no longer on the show (Jeff). They were really dull. I would think the reason he hated playing Dan was that he was Brooke's plaything while she was waiting around for a more exciting lover. Just like Wally, he was portrayed as a dullard and a bust in the bedroom. Many, many moons ago, I saw Kelly on Broadway in the play Deathtrap. He played the role Christopher Reeve played in the movie. I remember recognizing him from the show and thinking, wow, he's a way better actor than I thought he was! He probably had a good theatrical career after soaps.
    • This. The 1994 telecast had some of my favorite winners with Zaslow finally getting his due, Melissa Hayden, and all three major players in the Marty rape storyline getting recognized (HBS, Haskell, Howarth). 
    • You thought it was Adamson? He read but apparently he had no chance. He felt disrespected by the show's reaction to him, according to his tweet.
    • I suspected the actor who played Noah Newman would become the new Michael, but I didn't expect it was the recasted Noah Newman who would become Michael!
    • I didnt mean that I thought he would kill her; just that he gave off the impression that he had the capacity to do so. The original Ted portrayed him with more of a dark side when they were together. Its the switch up I see in True Crime stories when an upstanding pillar of the community ends up doing heinous things under people's noise whom would never beleive  he'd do when in actuality, he's a covert monster. Thats a dichotomy in the character as portrayed by Maurice that I dont see anymore
    • I think one mistake that later writers made with Gail was to make her either Lee's angelic wife or the therapist that was an easy dupe for evil characters that required treatment.  Under Marland, there was a series of scenes where Tracy goaded Lee to drink, Jessie witnessed it and spilled the beans about what she saw to Gail.  Gail, then, in turn, ripped Tracy a new one.  I wish that Gail and Tracy scene still existed on YouTube.  It was glorious not only to see evil Tracy be put in her place, but to see some real fire from Gail.
    • I won't be. We all know that the shelf life of a villainess isn't very long. Trisha Mann-Grant is the breakout star of BtG and she is destined for bigger and better things.
    • I feel CBS/P&G got really shaken by 1978-1982 ABC huge rise and domination, thus the changes to the shows. Considering Capitol showed no growth, I wonder if CBS ever regretting cancelling Search for Tomorrow. From the 1980s Ratings thread, Capitol pretty much inherited Search for Tomorrow audience but Capitol ratings were impacted when One Life to Live rebounded in 1985 with Andrea Evans return. Remember Capitol was head-to-head with the second half of One Life to Live. Even if CBS kept Search for Tomorrow, I think it would've ended as soon as Bill Bell had a second show ready. Funny thing is Search for Tomorrow NBC run was only three months shorter that Capitol run.
    • This was Bill's most complicated moment. The pecs stole the show and what was left from Brooke's dignity.
