Administrator Toups Posted January 27, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 27, 2008 Inspired by this past week's DAYS dialogue, how about we keep track of the "it's so awful it's funny" dialogue from these post-strike episodes? So far, the only soaps eligible for this thread are: DAYS, AMC, GH, Y&R, B&B, ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 LOL great idea for a thread Toups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'll definitely pay closer attention to dialogue now, so I can contribute. Thanks, Toups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm only watching AMC nowadays, but I think the dialogue and scripts have been much better lately with the scabs! Ironic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 It all depends on who's scabbing, too. Some soaps may have scabs with zilch script experience, while other soaps may have more (cough) experienced writers working in secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 AMC's dialogue has been inconsistent day to day, but I'll keep an ear out for any "so awful it's funny" dialogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Y&R's benefited from the "scabs", and I think the dialogue has actually been one of the better facets of the show lately. However, I definitely see the changes at DAYS and to an extent GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 General Hospital -- the best WGA dialog out of the three ABCD soaps (in my opinion) -- has been HORRIBLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think Y&R's has been pretty good so far. I don't know who is writing for the show, but I haven't noticed a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Why hasn't anyone reposted the infamous "gun" scene from Days last week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DevotedToAMC Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hey I agree! Give them the head writing job and kick B&E to the curb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steveo4 Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I wasn't the original one to post this, but figured I'd post it here anyway 'cause it's by far my favorite piece of "scab dialogue" yet! lmao Shawn: I'm gonna kill you. Thug: Stop, I have a gun. Shawn: I don't care, you're in big trouble buddy. Thug: You're forgetting who has the gun. Shawn: I don't care if you have a gun, if you don't let me get to my wife I'm gonna beat the crap out of you. Thug: Guess you're on the wrong side of the gun to say that, aren't you?
