AMC 1 nom and it's freaking Alexa Havins? Ugh. No David Canary?

IMO it's pretty much a CBS Bias, and the guest star stuff, Stuart Damon isn't a guest star...a guest star is usually one or two episodes....

It's a joke when Terri Colombino is on there and Maura West isn't.....

This is a list made by somebody/people who love and watch a lot of soaps -- and that's a good thing.

People call NB a hack and of course he is majorly crushing on Ron Carlivati. But I respect his opinion more than, say, Carolyn Hinsey or somebody writing in some of the soap rags. They are fed stories by the Daytime prezs and PR people to put a positive spin on crap pairings and SLs and to "train" us viewers to enjoy shoddily put-together shows.

The impression I get is that this is his opinion and his alone. For that reason I read his stuff and Marlena Delacroix's.

Plus, awards that honor Daytime? Including Days of our Lives and Darlene Conley? I can definitely get behind that.

I don't give a rip about OLTL, I don't watch. I'm not sorry to disagree with that choice based on the Sydney remote, the pimping of Constantine, Rick/Phoebe, the "shocking" death of Brooke's rapist, the egg scramble, and the rewritten history of the Logan/Forrester feud. If he wanted to give them "best soap of the year for the months of November and December"....I might be inclined to agree.

    • Philip, like Reva, were characters that should have remained in the 80s and never been bought back to the soap.  
    • I was just going through the vault and watching some random episodes from 2001, then 2006. Sigh. What a different show it was back then. It makes me so sad that it’s barely a shell of its former self. It was always so multigenerational. There were compelling stories for all generations without having to sacrifice anything to make it work. 
    • We are exactly the same. Ashland Locke at least had potential until JG decided to ruin that as he’s known to do with just about everything. It’s clear Sony and CBS don’t give a [!@#$%^&*].
    • Considering Naomi/Jacob are helping with June... and that she and Jacob have a complicated history with Hayley.. there is more soap opera potential having June and Hayley being related.    This is the downside of the show having one huge extended family... anyone not related to the family are boxed in a corner (i.e. Ashley/Derek, Tomas, Hayley/Bill).   If this were a 30 minute soap, I could understand the one family focus.. but this an hour soap so we best be getting a second family and/or characters not connected to the Duprees unless through work/romantic.. etc.
    • That guy also abused Beth (the one Lizzie killed), which the show probably should have done more with rather than just giving her a split personality and having her do whatever the plot demanded.
    • Thanks @slick jones I should mention that someone on the comments for the Ryan's Hope video with Susan Marie Snyder said the episode must have aired in July 1985. Those photos of Denise Alexander are lovely. The one with Denise, Leslie Charleson and Susan Brown got me emotional. We were so lucky to have them for so long.
    • It's just an absolute mess, and at this point, I genuinely do not know if anyone could turn the ship around. It feels like we're too far gone from what would be familiar for this soap. Genuinely.
    • It’s pretty much become the anti-soap. Bascially the show has rolled back to where it was in 2021, where absolutely zero drama occurred and actually I don’t recall anything memorable occurring at all. Substitute Dumas for Ashland Locke and it’s the same thing all over again. At least we have no strange creepy story about Abby this around I suppose?
    • It's far too much slow, smoked-flame. It's bad soap telling. SO bad.
    • And then, to finish up the story: Phillip returned to Springfield several years later to clear his good(-ish) name in some ridiculous retcon that is best left forgotten...Beth couldn't accept that Phillip had returned to his family against her wishes, so she divorced him, went wacko and hooked up with jerk whom their grade school-aged daughter later offed...Rick married and divorced Annie in Chicago, I think, and did some other stuff that I tuned out of (on account of being disgusted with the show) before he realized he couldn't get arrested in Hollywood and came back...and AFAIK, Neil Everest stayed dead, but his daughter did not; and in fact, she went on to become a trailblazing, multiple Grammy-winning artist under the name "Billie Eilish."
