Thanks Carl for sharing. I have a couple of those already.

It's a shame Nick Kiriazis hasn't popped up in many things.

Sydney Penny was a much better acting Meg than Susan Ward was; she brought much more variation to the role.

Thanks for posting those. I think Annie was the role of a lifetime for Buxton, as she's a very unique actress who doesn't sit most parts.

A show like Sunset Beach rode the wave of the larger-than-life primetime soaps which were popular in the UK, as they filled a certain fantasy which some British people probably had about rich Americans. I think those days are probably over though, as British TV now has plenty of car crash stuff.

Emily was too much of a goody for me and her two main love interests flat out stunk. (Brad and Sean?) Girl seemed doom from the start and a disappointment as Bette's daughter and Annie's cousin. I preferred Amy over her

True. I think Sunset Beach had the chance to be different but it often felt forced, instead of a genuine countercultural style. They should have gone with some writers who weren't from the soap grind. Maggie DePriest should not have been headwriter.

Sunset Beach was a great show with interestings characters but the writers commit some af the daytime mistakes. Sometime they should have be more brave. For instance, in the earthquake storyline, they should have kill more people in order to renovate the canvas. Olivia and Annie were my favorites.

Daytime is an iron world with a bunch of stupid rules that maybe run in other times but not today. Soap are a bad production because the do bad things. Imagine a film like 'Cloud Atlas', during the shoot in Majorca, Halle Berry injured and they stoped this part of the production, in soaps they use a recast for a couple of days... In primetime actors don't be ill? I don't watch recast of actors for a couple of scenes. And what the hell is SORAS? boys that grow and cross the gate of the future to arrive to the same world 10 years older and nobody say nothing...

Yes CarlD2, sometimes soaps are so safe, and this is stupid. They should create storylines with a good arch and kill off character maintaining the essence of the show. Keep the soul of the show and tell solid stories with a good begining and a better end! They have lost many viewers because the stories are often disappointing, disjointed, ridiculous ... They need to compromise with the characters and what they are telling. They can not just fill the time!

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
