Most Improved Soap


Recommended Posts

In your opinion, what is the most improved soap right now?

I personally have to go with OLTL. I can't believe how fast things have turned around for this show. The storylines make sense, the actors are all on their A game, and I'm left wanting more. I haven't felt this way about this show in ages. It's amazing how fast things have turned around. If this momentum continues, OLTL could very well usurp GH as ABC's #1 soap.

Don't you roll your eyes at me Alvin. :P I dont watch them all but I have seen bits and pieces of it during the week. And no show has really improved. OLTL has the Todd's son stuff which is good....but I dont see anything else.

Hmmmmm, each soaps has improved but none of them are good.

AMC: They have improved alot but there still alot of work to be done. The Annie story still has been glued, the Crash storyline was great but anything else? Nada.

OLTL: Has improved a ton! But still this Todd storyline is all thats going good for OLTL!

OLTL and.....DAYS(hides) :P

OLTL is really the most improved soap out there right now. I'm enjoying seeing more characters get airtime and more to say and do. Plus I am in love with OLTL's production values somedays. They are really best lit ABC soap. AMC looks like it's stuck in the 80s and GH looks too dark for my taste.

I would have said GL, because of it's increased airtime for other actors, but the stories and characterizations still stink.

I'd have to go with OLTL. I have been fast forwarding very little lately!

Anyone else notice how effectively the writers are having cvharacters refer to people and events in their pasts? As a long time viewer, I really appreciate that.

I agree with OLTL. That Tommy story has caused the most interesting and most evenly divided debates I've on soap boards in recent memory. And like I said before, Kathy Brier and Nathaniel Marston are the most moving couple in daytime because they look like *real people.* They aren't slicked-back, touched-up models. Watching them is like seeing people you know getting their hearts torn out. And they're putting in some very emotionally wrenching performances.

    • The finale peaked at 31.1 rating when Katherine hit Bobby with her car.
    • Exactly. And it's not like Stephanie didn't live a life when Hennig played her.  There are so many stories and relationships you can mine from her past.  And we just got......a book and sex with Alex or the random Bobby backstory which no one needed  I trust new writing can get the character back on track.  Like I said, I do think Abigail Klein has charisma.
    • Today (Thurs May 15) eppy not on paramount *menu* but it's on cbs.com. If you take the cbs episode URL and substituted paramountplus for cbs in the same URL, you get the episode on pplus https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/ https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/
    • Really good episode today. Even the characters who usually annoy me, like Chase and Brook Lynn, got some sweet scenes. I also appreciate that they're finally giving Lucky more to do, letting him in on Ric & Ava's blackmail scheme. And those Liz and Lucas scenes were fantastic;  Van Hansis has been bringing such playfulness to the role of Lucas, he brings out the best in scene partners like Laura Wright and Becky Herbst. It was also nice to get Liz's perspective on why her romantic rapprochment with Lucky is moving so slow; it makes perfect sense that she thinks he's not really capable of settling down, even if he wants to be with her. 
    • I thought Keith did great as well. His scene with Colby was what sold me. He displayed the emotions that a man who knows he's made a mistake and wants to rectify should have. Its funny how Maurice has been given passes in his acting that other actors have not. What Keith has shown me is that he can atleast keep up with the ladies in his story instead of them acting circles around him when Maurice was playing the role.      
    • Also Murder, She Wrote season 3 finale was the week before.
    • When Kat was in Ted's hotel room and he wasn't there, she started to write a note to leave for him, and then thought Why? and texted him instead.  Love that.

    • Thank you. And above all, it's conflict, which is what soap opera is. Not characters just being annoying because a writer rushes through story for them.
