Adam and Heather are really hot!! I'm warming up to Adam more and more now that we are seeing a warmer side to him. I'd like to see Adam and Victoria become close over the next couple of years, while Adam/Nick's rivalry grows. That way Victoria can be torn between the two.

I just cannot believe that Victor's vasectomy is being completely overlooked. Even Victoria didn't correct JT when he said it wasn't too late for Sabrina to have a baby. I mean, obviously she could use a donor, but you'd think Victoria would have said something like "Well, she could, but not with my Dad". If they are going to rewrite Victor's vasectomy it should be for a DAMN good reason and somehow I don't that's going to be the case.

I love Gloria, but she is on way to much. Does anyone know when Greg Rikkart is coming back. I miss him. :P I wish they would give him a story.

You should've thought about that when you were repeatedly being rude to other posters yourself, while complaining that they were rude to you. You've said it yourself though, that this is the only board where people attack you for stating your opinion, I wasn't making anything up in that regard.

But whatever... :rolleyes:

I was never rude though. Disagreeing isn't the same as being rude.

Also, you make it sound as if TS is all I talk about, which is far from the truth. I think you will find that very few of my posts are about TS, AH or CK. I never start threads about them or anything like that. I just respond to other posters' comments about them.

Anyway, this is getting boring. I'm willing to call a truce if you are. Just putting it out there.

I just watched Monday's episode. I am loving scheming Brad... this whole revenge thing he's got going on for David is really fun. Also, now that they are so sad and in trouble, David and Nikki are kinda cool. Scott and VI play well off each other, but only when they're doing stuff like they're doing recently. The story has gained some traction and some it is hooking me, since we're obviously approaching a climax of some shorts.

Also, may I say "hallelujah" to Phyllis finally waking up! I know Turner has stated that he wishes the Return of The Bitch wasn't wasted on Amber and, to a point, I agree, but on the other hand, better that than nothing. Frantz and Stafford work well enough as adversaries and, let's face it, Phyllis was bound to hate her, especially if she's around her son. Suddenly, Stafford seems to have stopped being bored, at least in these scenes with Amber, and it just feels right.

I also have started gaining some interest in the Victor/Sabrina thing. For the life of me, I can't figure out whether the vasectomy has been forgotten (as in, they don't know it has happened, ever; the writers I mean) or it has been "forgotten" so as to use it as a plot point to either get the story done, or have Victor trap Sabrina and get revenge, while we think it's been ignored. Seriously though, unless I'm mistaken, no-one knows about Sabrina's pregnancy, so it is very likely that Victor is preparing something big for Sabrina (or at least that's what would save this story, I think).

Also, the whole conflict between Jack and Nick is interesting as an idea, but I don't think it's executed too well. Chloe is a goddess, I like her more and more, and as for Heather and Adam, they're love!

Kay knows about Sabrina. Plus, Victor is acting way too lovey dovey to be preparing revenge. We never see him having a moment to himself where he looks pissed off or like he's plotting something. Why would he have ever gone through with the marriage in the first place, that only gives Sabrina legal standing in the relationship? Plus Victoria would have mentioned that Victor is clipped when JT said it's not too late for Sabrina to have children. Seems really strange that Victor didn't mention the vasectomy to Sabrina before he married her as well. If a guy sprung that on me, after the wedding I'd be pretty pissed off. Still, I do hope this is some plot on Victor's part. It just doesn't seem likely.

      6-5   Case in point...lol.   Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva.    Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus.

       It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline.    Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode.    I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one.    Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry.

      Victoria Principal clearly stacked her Dallas coins real good. In the grand scheme of things, she was smart to walk away from Dallas when she did.

      When Robert Calhoun became EP I thought GL was finally hitting its stride after some pretty rough years. Unfortunately the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run did not reflect the quality of the show.

      There was a five week break between the last Friday episode and the Thursday episodes which were the final four episodes. I have a feeling the final four episodes were refilmed to wrap up the storylines.

      Yes, I forgot there was a gap between his exit from GL and his start at ATWT. This almost makes me want to cry. He really turned ATWT around (and good for them). It would have been great if someone had done the same for GL. Can't imagine who. The Dobsons were doing Santa Barbara at this point. I mainly blame Kobe. She may not have been the worst EP they ever had, but she almost totally destroyed the Bauers and decimated much of the rest of the cast, sometimes for egotistical reasons. That was a huge mistake and made it that much harder for the show to recover.

      Douglas Marland began at As the World Turns in September 1985 but it took about a year for his run to show growth in the ratings. 1986 As the World Turns becomes CBS's #2 daytime drama after Y&R.

      This is not at all surprising. Watching the recently uploaded episodes, the uneveness is SO apparent. Characters are changing at the drop of a hat. The stories are close to incoherent. It's a mess, and we're only up to May. What a fall from grace. An Emmy-winning show with good ratings and within a few short years hitting possible cancelation territory.  I'm surprised CBS and/or P&G didn't try to do SOMETHING to restore its former glory. Was Marland still at ATWT at this point?

      I think she did, yes. The only part of that return I remember appreciating was the ripoff they did of Earrings of Madame De, where a secretly broke India sold a trinket and Ross or Alan (I think it was Ross) then bought it for her, not knowing it was hers.

      6-4   Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out.   I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages.

          So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together.    You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser.     Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much.   C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her.    Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.

      1986 began with the EP change from Gail Kobe to Joe Willmore and the HW change from Pamela Long to Jeff Ryder. Over the course of 1986 there was turnover in the HW ranks: Jeff Ryder, Jeff Ryder and Mary Ryan Munisteri as co-HWs, Mary Ryan Munisteri and Ellen Barrett as co-HWs, Joseph Manetta, Joseph Manetta and Sheri Anderson as co-HWs. The 1986 ratings reflected the quality of the show. GL was saved from cancel territory in 1986 because Capitol was still CBS's lowest-rated daytime drama.
