I can't stand couple fans. They usually have little to no objectivity and clamor for airtime when their favorite duos are subject to the worst plots on a show, such as ATWT's Maul and Nuke lovers. When 2 people endure a predictable host of relationship issues, how can you continue to care? These days writers have given soap fans hardly anything to invest in for any couple. The joys are fleeting and the strife is horribly contrived. It's a joke to me that people threaten to stop watching shows if their favorite couples are involved. If the point to watching an ensemble drama is to zero in on 2 people, you might as well buy Thelma and Louise and watch it 5 days a week.

re AMC's REAL greens promos....

It would have been good, had they done a story where someone was posing as greens. and then one day the REAL greens comes back to town. but it wasnt. the ORIGINAL greens would have been okay. (not that i want that storyline or anything... been there done that with di and dixie).

regardless, RB has put a heart and soul into greens again. The writing is the same and the show sucks as does her char, but at least there is a heart there now. SS was okay, but she made me feel nothing. and feeling nothing is worse than feeling hate. soap operas should emote emotions from a person, not just.... blahh.

I agree. I cant stand couple fans. I understand it, i am a fanboy myself of a few couples (Ejami on Days; Liason on GH) and yes i want them together - but if they are not im not going to stop watching. I watch these soap operas because i have watched them and loved them forever.

aww... JG leaving is sad. Him being killed sucks. But i cant wait for Kirsten Storms to play this out!!

I love Logan too, but i can see him being the killer. To prop Johnny/Lulu.

and WTF happened to lulu!!! THIS IS LUKE AND LAURAS DAUGHTER! she should be the way she is!!

oh wait... this is the show who shows robin once a week for 5 minutes. ROBIN SCORPIO! wtf gh wtf.

i have such a love/hate relationship with gh and days. they are like abusive boyfriends i just cant leave.

DAYS and GH have HUGE couples fanbases, that's why their ratings go up and down so damn much.

By contrast, the Bell soaps built fanbases around the show and storylines, not the couples or whatever they went through. Y&R and B&B are ENSEMBLE shows, GH and especially DAYS aren't, and I think that's what's been hurting them for so long.

I know whenever I go to a Y&R board, fans watch for the storylines and if they suck they bitch about wanting better storylines. That's one of the factors that gives Y&R its high ratings IMO, despite high ratings Y&R and B&B never had rabid fanbases. However, with DAYS, I see fanbases refusing to tune into the show because their favorite couple isn't on and they launch huge campaigns out of that.

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!

look how awful Y&R was last year. Yes the ratings fell, but all soaps did. It didnt drasticly drop. Same with B&B.

AMC was never m uch of a fanbase war. But it has become so recently and look how it dropped in recent years.

"im on a lot of drugs and your pissing me off" lol... greatness.

      I really don't want to see some old P&G actors on the show. To me Lindstrom and McLain have brought nothing special. The show needs to find new talent, so it has it's own identity,which overall they have. Timon, Tricia, Ambyr are breakouts. Most of the others are fine .We all know the exceptions.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I would wager that was because it was a new character for the likes of Devon, Lily and Nate to interact with. Watching the likes of Billy fall in love again-Phyllis, Chelsea,Lily and now Sally is repetitive, especially when he is no prize. Josh doesn't really do long term couples. So every year or so they swap partners. It diminishes them as characters as they don't seem to grow or learn from the past. We know those characters so well and they've been through just about everything, so the only solution is to involve them with new characters and have them react to the newbies drama. They tried with Ashland and the Rosales but Josh dumped the latter and wrote so badly for Ashland who could have been a long term antagonist. All we got was another short lived marriage for Victoria and another accidental killing. And Josh thinks having them sit in restaraunts for the whole episode talking business, mergers, takeovers and job switching is interestring. It's not. I feel sorry for the actors who must know they are serving shite.

      If I were to cast a Soap Opera veteran as Jan.. I would have picked Krista Allen (of Days and B & B fame) since she did move to the Atlanta area in late 2023... and knows all there is about the Soap opera way of filming.  And I could see her playing Ashley's mom.

      AMC: Lifetime TV Movie Franchise Announced

      By Chris B · Posted

      I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!

      Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.

      You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?
