I have to say that so far this week, GL hasn't been half bad. Not GREAT, but not as bad as it seems to consistently be with EW/DK at the helm :angry:

And I never thought I would say this, but I am enjoying Edmund's return as well. Looking forward to the story with Will/RJ. It has great potential.

I agree, Julia, that Alan going after Natalia is horrible. As much as I think a Doris/Buzz pairing could be interesting, I liked Doris with Alan. It was more age-appropriate and she wasn't one of his son's ex-lovers. And if they are going with Doris/Buzz, why not put Lillian together with Alan? Just a thought....

And OMG! How great is it to have Daniel Cosgrove back as Bill! And he's already been walking around without his shirt on. Love it, Love it, Love it! ;) What a hottie.

Can't wait for KZ to get back from vacation. I miss her when she's not on for a few days.

Edmund and Billy are both looking good. I think I want to see Edmund and Alan fight over Beth with Edmund winning again. I like Beth and Rick, but the show obviously doesn't care about them as a couple.

How long until Harley tries to steal Cyrus from Marina? <_<

Frank and Natalia have been interacting. Dare I hope?

WOW, Julia. Bill is smokin!! And Edmund isn't lookin half bad either. I like the idea of having Alan vs. Edmund fight over Beth, or pair Edmund with Alex.

I really, really hope that Harley doesn't go after Cyrus. This is really the only relationship that I have liked Marina (MB) involved with. She used to come off as such a goody-goody. This gives her a little bit of an edge and now that she's out of the force (hopefully for good), that's even better.

Frank is dull as dishwater. And if someone is still dull after being paired with Olivia, then something is wrong! The only time I found Frank half-way interesting was 15 years ago with Eleni and A-M story.

But I do like Natalia. There has to be someone in Springfield for her - maybe Bill? I think they would look great together. Gus and Alan both going gaa-gaa over her is too much.

Hiya DAMFan. Yes, both of them have added some much needed spark to Springfield, ICAM. And I don't wanna rain on your parade, BUT.........

There's speculation that Edmund might be killed off! :angry: With Olivia talking about getting a gun and now Reva & Cassie talking about "being the broads" to get rid of Edmund, it makes you wonder.

I know that DAM had a short-term contract, but I hope they don't go down this road. We've had to endure the PATHETIC "Who shot Alan?" story at the beginning of the year, and then the COMPLETE FIASCO of "Jonathon's Story" and that murder. <_< I don't want another whodunit, especially with Edmund as the victim.

^ ^ ^ See, I have been thinking that last week and this one have actually been pretty good. Of course, nowhere near the good ol days of GL, but for EW/DK, it's been OK.

The show since Jon/Tammy/Sara has been kinda boring up until now, IMO. The stories now are holding my interest somewhat (with the exception of the Golden Couple). All we can do is wait to see how everything plays out on-screen, but from the looks of things now, I'd say it's getting better. Hopefully EW/DK won't blow the momentum that they seem to have with the stories on the canvas.

But then, when you think back to that PATHETIC HORRIBLE Reva/Alan SL to Tourmaline, it kinda makes you loose hope that they will do much better with any other stories. :angry:

    • Happy 18th Birthday, Sophia! I like that Tate gave her a birthday party. And that Marlena counseled him about whether or not he has feelings for Sophia, and his relationship with Holly. I like how messy Tate is and I hope he continues to be messy. He just needs to have more argument/fight scenes with Doug III

      Days just needs to work a little bit more on establishing better chemistry between Tate and Sophia, but I still think that’s mostly due to Rachel Boyd. Sometimes, I think that Sophia might secretly be scheming, but with the way RB plays it, (if that’s what they’re going for), it doesn’t seem to be working. Tate was also really sweet and dorky during the party too The drug scenes didn’t do much for me though. I don’t mind that Kevin panicked and ran off with the drug once he heard Steve and Shawn coming, but I felt like that story was the weakest part of today. But I am interested in seeing what happens next. And I couldn’t help but laugh when I noticed that Steve and Shawn had matching jackets Btw, I see Mayor Price established a quid pro quo with Xander today lol I wouldn’t mind that being more than just a plot point. It could lead to some pretty good drama if it’s handled correctly. And it would be a lot better than Xander declaring war on Sweet Bits/Chanel and Felicity.  And Stephanie, finally having her mother to confide in about her life, her relationship with Alex, etc. has been one of the best things about the Paula/Jeanne episodes. The book thing still seems very Ron-like though, mostly because it’s so centered around Alex, sort of like how GH used to make storylines about Liz all about Finn or Franco Hopefully, Stephanie talks to Kayla about the book. I’d like to hear more of her perspective on it. I also like that Kayla and Marlena were there for each other as well. These are such better ways to use all three of them. And, we got an update about John One other thing I’ve noticed about the Paula/Jeanne episodes (except for the ones that are worked on by Jamey) is that they’re longer than Ron episodes. Episodes usually clock in at around 40-41 minutes now, as opposed to 35-37, or as short as 31. 
    • Also Victor being the obstacle for Kyle/Claire feels forced. If anything it should be Diane. Diane has a history of having issues with the Newmans, doesn’t she? Jack could be the one trying to reel her in while she’s meddling in Kyle and Claire’s relationship. They’re making the characters of Diane, Victoria, Nick, Sharon be way too complacent when they could have a stronger role in the younger characters like Mariah/Tessa, Kyle/Claire etc 
    • A year later we had these ratings for the week of May 11-17 1987. This was probably the last time the CBS soaps (at least til Dallas’ finale) ranked this high. Dynasty had already ended its season.  CBS reran the Dallas Early Years movie on Saturday night against Golden Girls’ season finale, which was the failed Empty Nest back door pilot.  Interestingly a repeat Family Ties was #1 this week. The week before the season finale of Family Ties beat out Cosby as well, but it was Cheers that beat them both out with Diane’s exit.

    • Hello to everybody!

      I'm writing a series of essays about the first time of a LGBT character in US soaps. I already have datas about Sharon Duvall in DAYS (1977) as first Bisex, Lynn Carson in AMC (1983) as first Lesbian, Hank Elliott on ATWT (1989) as first Gay (someone have or can find the episode in which Paul Ryan finds out about Hank and does not take it very well? I have seen Hank's coming out to Iva and when Hank gets a bullet to save Paul's life from the latter evil father and when he gets tested for HIV after finding out Charlie's diagnosis, but Soap Opera Digest recaps are too much concises...) and Billy Douglas on OLTL (1992) as first LGBT teen in both daytime and primetime TV (I have seen all the episodes on You Tube. BTW, what a great storyline, why it was ignored by the Emmys? Andrew Carpenter and Billy's father players are both really great in their roles! Oh, well, if OLTL was not nominated for Best Drama in 1994 with Marty's gang rape story which won four major awards and was spectacular, no surprise at all - sadly) and I have read something about Azure in The City (1996) as first Trans, but I'd like to see the episode where Bernado finds out and Azure confirms what is said in that newspaper to have something to quote. I like quoting, it gives the essays more depth. I already read the biweekly recaps from Soap Opera Digest on Tumblr and single episodes recaps on IMDB, but I'd like to have more to write about. And something more about critics and public opinions - I only knows that the storyline was rapidly axed because of bad writing and bad performance by Carlotta Chung, but I have nothing to quote.   PS Thank you @JAS0N47 for your incredible and rich site (and work on it). In particular for the Nielsen ratings on weekly basis lists since 1974 and for everything about Sharon Duval - specially for the script of the confession episode dated 23 May 1977! I'm not a DAYS viewers (I'm Italian, I live in Italy and on You Tube there is almost nothing if not short videos), but I've seen some clips of Marlena's first possession (Deidre Hall is terrific in it! Storyline is garbage, but it has its chilling moments and it is funny - I laugh everytime I remember Kristen say to Marlena "according to the book of demonology"! Was she an espert of demons or what!? ) and read on Soap Opera Central daily recaps about infamous Melaswen (brainwashed Marlena has a particular sense of humor - killing ex alcoholic Maggie with a bottle of wine and Alice with her donuts...), so I know something about the soap. Little, but better than nothing.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.
