SoapNet has never to my knowledge given OLTL a truly history spanning marathon like AMC and Gh have (kinda) gotten (still not enough). I don't mean character based ones that focu on a character who's less than a decade old...

Is there anyway we could convince Soapnet for OLTL's 40th to give it a TRUE, worthy marathon of classic episodes? or ANYTHING?

I know ABC's press is at least publishing ONE book (The OLTL Trivia Book similar to the ones for AMC and GH that came out around 99 I think...) http://www.amazon.com/Life-Anniversary-Tri...5628&sr=1-2

I doubt SOAPnet even cares that OLTL is turning 40. If they do, though, and they show this spectacular marathon, I'd be pissed because I don't have SOAPnet, lol.

As a matter of fact, it's a good three years later and I'm still pissed I couldn't see that I Love Lucci marathon. Based on episode selection, that was probably the best marathon they ever did!

Anyone else getting the impression Soapnet wants to get far, far away from daytime soap operas?

I think Sara Bibel was on to something when she said the people in charge have a negative view of the very shows they produce.

Thanks to a very kind person I have both the Tad the Cad marathon and the even better I Love Lucci ones on DVD-R (I don't get Soapnet either). Those plus the earlier Weddings one (which included the great tom and Erica wedding from 78) are why I say AMC has done decently comparedd to OLTL though I'd still like more. Yeah the Lucci one was brilliant

Cheap Soiapnet did air two old Angie and Jesse eps for their return (and some lame Greenlee eps)... but yeah... :(

ANd way back when SoapNEt was brand new the weddings marathon--I have no idea if it was all AMC or all the soaps I just knwo the youtube episodes of Tom and Erica's wedding and I think Erica and Dimitri's? were from a SoapNEt wedding marathon (OTOH I love Lucci's Erica marathon chose to show the start of TOm and Erica's breakup--the brith control episode instead of the wedding)

It's a shame--an all Dorian marathon (though I guess they'd only pick RObin episodes) or all Tracey Quartermaine--they could even show The City--would be fab

      Unfortunately I only had one or two pages from those months. I believe I posted them but it would only cover one or two shows.

      I think she would have been fine, although Beth was a thankless part. She probably was seen as aging out of the genre after AW.  I forgot she was on Sunset Beach.

      OK, I like the Cat interactions with Xander and EJ. And, I get that there are new writers. But, Clyde was shot 12/11/2024.  So, why have we not heard Xander or EJ's response to the situation for five months!  Clyde shot EJ (or he ordered him shot), shouldn't he react more to the news of his coma.  And, I've never heard EJ or Kristin mention that the woman who lived with them last summer was a fraud. Rather than giving lip service to the idea of family and community, at least it feels like everyone no longer lives in a bubble.

      I don't know if I could have seen that from her, honestly. But I feel like, outside of GH and her original DAYS stint, American daytime really didn't pay much attention to her, even though they should have.

      Co-sign, 100% on this one. Xander was entirely in the wrong.

      I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is also a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.

      Great episode, better than what the spoilers said. The gambling story was tolerable but Jon Lindstrom sucks in the role. Ambyr Michelle continues to shine. The diner and country club scenes were very well executed.  The Jan and Leslie scenes were very good! My favorite is Eva, now followed by Nicole.

      Today's show was good. The only part I didn't care for were the Derek/Ashley scenes. I think they are bland together and Derek is very bland by himself. He is the least interesting character on the show IMO. I don't think they have much chemistry together. I appreciated Jan's reaction to Leslie. I like how regular/realistic her and Mona are as characters. Jan came across as very believable of being appalled and even hurt by Leslie's treatment of them and towards Eva in the diner.  Leslie continues to try and manipulate people with IMO her fake caring routine, only to show her true colors after she's confronted/called out for her treatment of others. I continue to dislike the way she mistreats Eva. Speaking of Eva she was great again today. I love her and I like how Martin comforted her in the diner. I liked that Vernon showed concern for her as well. They (especially Martin) will come around quicker to her before others (like the Dupree women) will. I also am glad to see her and Ted continue to bond and him behaving like a father towards her/helping her. He's the only one in her life who is fully trying to stand by her. I look forward to seeing their relationship grow.

      Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.
