You know what is really sad? how much could be done with what they have. Lainey should have a much bigger role. She is smart, fun, sassy, and independent.

Ep is pretty much stuck. they cant do much with her. it is a stereotyooe role, but i like her, however Cassius is pointless and a waste of time.

But regina - she is played by the best actress to come off night shift and they so should have just made her into what they have made nadine into - even tho i love nadine.

whoa...........................................

clearly you need to address some issues which cannot be addressed on this thread. and i must say i giggled while reading some of what you wrote. like for ex. i think it's not an inconvenience at all to hear different languages on the phone when you choose to press a number. it's more accommodating. i wonder how native americans feel about having to adjust to everything on their land? but anyway, back to soap operas using other languages. i think it's exciting and fun! i love it when soap families do that in daytime or primetime (ugly betty for ex.) since it shows how much their family is unified and how much they love their heritage and culture!

BRAVO to the writers that do this! a standing ovation to all of you!

I don't have to address anything to you, nor is there a law that says I have to do it. If you giggled over what I wrote, good for you. Do you honestly think I care one hoot if you did or not? You are a nobody to me and already proved yourself to me in another thread.

<<<it's more accommodating.>>>

LOL! Trust me, they will not accomodate you like that everywhere else, especially where I have been (France). There is no "To continue in French, press one" (However you say that in French)..."For English, press two".

giggle. for a thread about your distaste for the use of 2 languages in a phone recording, you misunderstood english. what i meant was everything you wrote has issues that need to be addressed in another forum since it would help you. a lot. as for the french, all the french people i associate or work with actually want to learn english more and are open to learning new languages.

but back to the topic, it would be great if characters spoke in other languages when they meet with their clientele. for ex. the forresters are designers on b&b. they had extras who played royalty from saudi arabia i think, so it would be great if eric and company talked to them in their native language. it is about pleasing their rich customers by appreciating their cultures after all!

I know exactly what you meant when you replied so I merely just said I do not have to answer you. That is true. If I need any help, I will be sure to take it up with someone who can spear me in the right direction, that not being you. Of course the French people you work with want to learn English...they live in a country where English is the chief language. At least they are being responsible with adjusting to a new land. I also see the French as people who love learning while others are not willing to expand their horizons as much.

McTavish wrote a lot of the Campbells stuff?

Wow.

How hard would be to have given Regina the stuff Nadine is doing cause GH is almost as bad as B&B when it comes to diversity.

When was the last time Kelly got to do...well...anything?

i don't think any soap can surpass b&b in terms of non-diversity. one of the most watched shows in the world should be more racially diverse.

but then again, there are soaps that continuously mistreat their minority characters (days). so what is worse?

I agree. AW is a great actress and seems like she could play drama and comedy well. I could also see her and Tyler C working well together and having chem. Nadine is rather pointless, even tho i do love her and the actress. Hell, you know what woulda been hot? Lainey & Nikolas. Lainey could be helping Nikolas try to deal with things and fall for him just like Nadine has done.

I agree, however at the same time B&B is already female heavy and the few males they do have have about 4 woman each to play off, not to say that they couldnt have a lesbia or two (hell Felicia! Donna!..). I also always felt like they should have made Thomas Forrester gay. I do think thats a big reason why soaps dont have a lot of gay people, because they not only need one, but then more and more for them to hook up with.

Spectra so should have been taken over with by a gay.

Didnt B&B have a black character around the time Jessica & Dylan were on?

      I do get that.  I also did think Rachel was the child Kristen and Brady deserved though lol.

        I kinda like that Rachel's not really a demon anymore. Kristen's daughter or not, it wasn't necessary for her to be like that.  And just like with GH, we all know that Ron thinks it's funny to write the kids as nasty, obnoxious little sh*ts

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I don't get it either.  It's just a story running in a different city about adoption with anonymous sources.  Why does anyone care?  It's not like she's outing Brook Lynn by name or even touching on her story from what I understood.

      I loved the Andre/Nicole scene. The actors really sold all the emotions that came with it.    Sean has such chemistry with Karla and Daphne

      I was a huge fan of RH the first few years, and I while I can't disagree about unlikeable characters, I still found them interesting. Mainly, I'm thinking of the Frank/Jill/Seneca triangle (with Rae added later). MY GOD, what a group of selfish, controlling, narcissistic a-holes. But I have to say, watching them torch their own lives over and over was pretty fascinating.

      Old Rachel just seemed devious always with her elaborate hairstyles and snotty behavior.  I assume this girl is just a better actress or something.  They both seem to have the same capabilities, but I guess we will see where the story goes.

      I wasn't sure what this image was at first. But now looking at rotated this way it definitely looks like two children sitting together. Maybe June is indeed related to someone on the show like Hayley.

      Either June and Hayley or Samantha and Tyrel

      It is also so much easier if it was the other way around… If EJ owned a pharmaceutical company. And the only way he would donate a huge training grant to the hospital is if they would do a trial of his company's new Sepsis drug.  And Bo happens to have Sepsis.  Then, it writes itself so much simpler. Also, has Kayla forgotten that she gave a magical walking drug to Sarah a few months ago?  I'd bet you could make much more money from a paralysis cure than a sepsis treatment.  And she synthesized the treatment from Dr. Rolf, so it is really Kayla's drug.  Why isn't she marketing that? Note:  I'm a realist, it is not like I am asking them to sell the Lexi angel that cures people of cancer (and head injuries)

      'You mean...THAT Eva.' hahahahaha. From the mouth of babes.   Lord...don't tell me this is going to be a near-miss on Andre/Dani.    And now...I have to watch the rest later. lol.
