OK, so I don't know too much about the soaps I don't watch, but the ones I do seem to have a few patterns that they repeat over and over and over again. For example:

BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Of COURSE there is a triangle going on!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Of COURSE he/she came back from the dead!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Of COURSE someone got shot!

Those patterns could be with something good or bad! What are others? :)

ALL MY CHILDREN

OF COURSE Tad, Ryan and Krystal never take responsibility for the hurt they've caused others, but stand in unforgiving moral judgment of those who have done them wrong.

OF COURSE all characters have "sympathy," "grief" or "goodbye" sex with someone other than their committed partner and consider it "not cheating."

OF COURSE the Pine Valley Police Department is clueless, useless and dumb as a box of hair so everyone goes to Tad and Ryan to solve crimes.

OF COURSE whenever danger arrives in Pine Valley, characters who can barely afford to live in the Pine Cone Motel seem to miraculously crap enough money to pay for 24/7 bodyguards -- or as they call them, "men."

GENERAL HOSPITAL

OF COURSE when there's an explosion, crash, shootout or some other high budget stunt/special effect, Sonny's always involved and Jason saves the day.

OF COURSE Laura Wright's Carly will never be cut down to size and will say the most vile, vulgar, disgusting things -- and still be viewed as the heroine of the show.

OF COURSE every new woman that comes to town falls under Sonny Corinthos' spell and suddenly will sell their mother, children and a couple of old women from a senior citizen's center into white slavery just to have the chance to be impregnated by him

OF COURSE any storyline with Luke is not worth an emotional investment because Luke will undoubtedly steal something, mistakenly murder somebody or kidnap the Wig in a Rocking Chair and have to go on the run for six months just so Tony Geary can go to Amsterdam... and every character on the show will act like this is such a shock, as if it doesn't happen every two months and we'll have to watch Lulu whine, shriek and bitch about how Luke never wanted her.

OF COURSE Sam will use her miscarriage from 2004 as justification for every shitty thing she's ever done since then. And that's ridiculous because...

OF COURSE any woman on this show who gets pregnant will miscarry before the end of her first trimester... so it ain't nothing special!

Hmm let me see if I can do all the soaps

AMC: Of course Erica Kane was just recently married and divorced.

B&B: OF COURSE its the same tired [!@#$%^&*] with the same tired characters

DAYS: OF COURSE it sucks

GH: OF COURSE it's a cheap rip off of the Sopranos

GL: OF COURSE it has a great cast but no production value

OLTL: OF COURSE Todd can get away with anything

PSSNS: OF COURSE it's cancelled!! :):):)

and finally

Y&R: OF COURSE Victor Newman is the center of the show!!

lol

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.

      I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used.

      tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.

      This perfomer would have been good in that role

      I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.

      When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

      The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.

      I loved your rambling because you had some good thoughts.  Stopped watching Y&R years ago so can't comment on that, as far as Lame is concerned. No cares in the world.
