Say Something Positive About Your Soap Part II


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I felt it was time to bump this back up. It seems SON is turning into a complainers paradise. All people seem to do is complain, complain and complain. I think people now wake up to nit pick at their fav show. Or to try and guess who write's what or who produced this and dissect everything about a soap these days. What happened to just watching a show. Give these writers some time. It takes a while to get new stories going.

So what do I have to say good?

I love GL's new opening. I also love how it's shot on location.

Days, Dena is doing a great job right now writing, even though city hall is harassing her.

OLTL, I am so glad RC is doing wonders with the show and that he is going all out for OLTL's 40th anniversary.

AMC, looking forward to Chuck Pratt

GH, hmm......Hmm

B&B is VERY GOOD RIGHT NOW

Y&R....is still pretty good for the most part

ATWT, hmm don't really watch so cant say but still love their opening. The best on TV right now

AMC: The show has improved a lot since the strike. Jesse and Angie brought a lot of life back to it, and I loved seeing Adam and Dixie.

DOOL: Last winter, when the news that John Black would return broke, I could not have been more opposed. I told anyone who would listen about how Days would lose all credibilty, and how they were undoing the best drama they'd had in about a decade, and on, and on. I've had to eat my words on that one, because Robo-John is AWESOME!

I think Dena's struck the balance Days needs- there's certainly plenty of camp, but there's still more real drama than JER gave the show.

GH: Um, Nik and Claudia have chemistry. And Claudia and Maxie together now make two people in Port Charles who don't worship the ground Lulu walks on, so there's that.

GL: I know I'm, like, the only soap viewer anywhere who thinks so, but I really like the new GL. It seems really realistic to me.

Hey amlc, I split this into it's own Topic since it's a new year and all :)

There are a lot of people on SON who don't complain about their shows, because they're happy with what they watch. Those that do complain do it because we want better. It's hard to dedicate hours a day to watching soaps and having to suffer through mediocrity. I myself have tried to just watch the show as is, but sometimes that's hard to do.

AMC - I am loving the a lot of things about the show, mainly the resurgence of family interaction and the vets moving to frontburner status. The stories still need work, but I feel Pratt will do a good job.

ATWT - ......well..........Maura West is very pretty. :)

B&B - I love the show. I am enjoying Jennifer Gareis' storyline. It's about time they gave her something good to do.

DAYS - I adore Arianne Zucker. She is one of the brightspots on the show for me. I also enjoy Bo/Hope (when they're on) and Phillip/Chloe

GH - The possibility of a Nikolas/Claudia pairing keeps me entertained. Kirsten Storms is also a highlight for me. I enjoy whenever she bitches out Julie Berman's character Lulu. LuSam and their Sexico (yes, Sexico) adventure has been nice.

GL - Crystal Chapell is very pretty :)

OLTL - The show isn't perfect, but it's one of the best shows on the air right now IMO. I've had to tone down my fanwanking for the show as it's become a bit annoying. Some things need some work (like tighter script writers and new directors) but overall it's really good.

PSNS - Don't watch...don't have satellite, but it's a hot tranny mess...always has been, always will be and I like that.

Y&R - There's a lot about the show I like, a lot I dislike. But hope is what keeps me watching.

ATWT is incorporating the vets in a relevant and useful way. Maura is very pretty. And I'm glad to have caught a few glimpses of the Jack I love lately.

GL...Billy's had scenes the past couple of days.

B&B....the show isn't revolving around Brooke's love life at the moment.

Y&R: This was and still is my first love although at times they piss me off. Loving Jess Walton/Jeanne Cooper !!

B&B: Can't complain, loving the show

OLTL: Loving every minute. This show reminds me of what it feels like to be excited about soaps again.

ATWT - Love Maura. I have to say that she is doing a good job, no matter what they throw at her. ;) I also love that they are using the vets so much. That's long overdue!

Days - To my surprise I'm actually enjoying the show. John is humorous. Love Nicole! I LOL everytime she's on.

GH - I will be crucified for this here, but I love Sonny and Kate. Kate has really made him not only watchable for me but almost endearing. Believe me, before her I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. I love the Crimson storyline. I like Alexis/Diane scenes. Maxie and Claudia have great potential with hating Lulu. I just may warm up to Claudia for that. :P Overall GH is my favorite right now.

B&B - I'll get back to you on this one..........

OLTL - I'm just getting back into this one but I must say that I'm enjoying it overall.

    • I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

    • I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.
    • I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.   
    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
