Bree Williamson in the immediate aftermath was just laughable, but that could be how she was scripted, with nonstop hysterical crying the entire episode. John Brotherton has always been a bad actor that people simply elevated because his character is so entertaining. The only person who has seriously entertained me is Robin Strasser. Those scenes with Langston a couple days ago were flawless.

To clarify, when I said the writing was bad, I meant how the episodes were structured, the forgettable dialogue and mediocre subplots. This could've been their Emmy submission, but they failed overall. They seemed to have wanted something grand and the way it was promoted sounded better than what I actually saw. Nash through the skylight onto Rex and Gigi? Classic soap moment, right? Wrong. Forgettable.

Wow..good for OLTL. I agree it's not flawless, and I have never watched regularly. However, I've watched this week and it's better than anything else, with B&B in a second place for me. The rest of daytime...ho hum. Sad to see Days finally lose it's February bump, but I saw it coming. Good News....Corday will blame Higley and we may have a new writer by November...We'll see.

Let's see Goutman...ummmmm

Luke and Noah are no longer a draw to the show.

Liberty/Juicy Janet(what an awful name)/Brad/Katie isnt working or drawing anyone new. That frankly nobody cares a [!@#$%^&*] about.

Paul/Meg/Cole/Mike/Sofie isnt working. It a pathetick [!@#$%^&*] storyline. That frankly nobody cares about.

Hmmm..no wonder ATWT numbers are in the [!@#$%^&*]!!!

I guess it's time for Corday to come up with a new plan to save Days??

GL....truly deserved numbers...the show sucks balls.

Looks like Y&R has found a new home in the mid-3s. Will be interesting to see if any of the dailies came close to touching the 3.0 mark. I'm shocked that the AMC momentum has continued. Pretty ironic, considering this is B&E's swan song. What's going on at Days? Haven't watched in a while. Poor P&G shows. ATWT always finds a way of bringing itself up, but GL is seriously just a lost cause.

B&B isn't doing itself any favors with this painfully dull Nick/Katie romance being the only storyline featured at the moment. Bring back the trashiness of Rick and Taylor with nuStephanie Brooke gasping in horror.

B&B is boring as [!@#$%^&*]!! The whole CBS lineup needs a major overhaul.

    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
