GL

I loved Jonathan and Tammy together. The freakin hot couple and I just really cared or ignored that they were blood related.

I hated Danny and Michelle. They were annoying.

GH

Even though Kristen Storms is a good Maxie, I loved the old Maxie (Robyn Richards - I think)- she is Maxie to me.

I loved Anna and Duke together.

Brenda and Jax were ten times better than Brenda and Sonny.

Vanessa Marcil shouldn't come to GH because the legend of her character has only grown though the years, if she returns - it's only bound to disappoint.

AMC

I just don't understant the appeal of Zack and Kendall. I though Ethan and Kendall were hotter together.

Ahem......might as well put them all together....knowwhatimsayin.....

Word. From a historical standpoint, I hate how all shows seem to go no further than the early 80s when it comes to honoring or celebrating history. There are those of us out here who'd like to eat up on some of that pot-boiling 70s soap goodness!

I cannot stand Zendall. They are one of the most boring couples I have ever seen on AMC, and they have sucked the life out of the show, and other characters have been ruined to give them storylines.

Greenlee is one of my favorite characters.

At this point, I'd take Megan McTavish over B&E anyday.

I have NEVER found Cameron Mathison to be attractive. Even before I hated Ryan.

I also don't get what is so sexy about Zach Slater.

I loved Babe and JR (Alexa's version).

Overall I enjoyed the babyswitch storyline and thought it was well written, just not the ending.

Luke & Noah are overrated and boring, and everytime someone credits them with the ratings rise or says they keep the show afloat, I want to rip out hair.

I love Katie, and she and Brad are about the only thing keeping me interested in ATWT anymore.

I don't mind Liberty, or Liberty/Parker.

CarJack is annoying.

I didn't hate Sofie.

Noelle Beck as Lily makes me cringe.

i never saw the episode live but I saw it on Judith Light's biography special. The way she describe's an autistic boy's "awakening" after seeing her on the stand in that narcissitic (acting saves lives!) way just made me turn my head.

While I agreed with almost everything, these things screamed at me while I read your post.

1. I agree, certain actors' fanbases have killed any enjoyment I might have had watching them on my shows.

2. Livvie would've been fabulous on GH -- the Sam character has taken on too many different shapes over the last five years that I don't know who the hell she is, nor do I even care at this point.

3. Rick Hearst is brilliant -- and very generous as an actor and towards his fans. I adore his skill and talent combo and wish he was given the respect he DESERVES!

4. I "hated" Tamara because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sarah Brown. Ever since VR Troopers, I've enjoyed her as an actor. That said, it wasn't until about a year ago, when I watched some GH tapes from 2002 or so, that I began to appreciate Tamara's portrayal. True, I still think Tamara was Carly the Bully (compared to Sarah's "I'm Trying to Prove to You as Well as Myself I'm Better Than Trailer Trash" aspect), but Tamara was fabulous when it came to adding a subtle inflection here and an unexpected nuance there. Sarah and Tamara are two different actors which I've come to accept -- and both of them added beautiful layers to Carly. Tamara was fabulous when Carly was scheming or coming up with "a plan." I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't realize it until Laura Wright came along. Laura Wright exacerbates everything that's unlikeable about Carly and emphasizes absolutely ZERO of Carly's enjoyable qualities.

*SnEeZe*BRIAN FRONS*cOuGh* My GOD, these SON allergies are acting up...

1. I agree.

2. I agree.

3. I agree -- Sabine never stood a chance.

4. I SO agree. I went from enjoying them to positively loathing them within 10 months.

5. Walt's portrayal aside (trying not to delve TOO far into actor bashing), Jack's an ass.

6. B&E may have bored me out of watching the show, but they never pissed me off nor have they insulted me to the degree McTavish has done during her last 2/3 stints. Of course, I'm not sipping Zendall Kool-Aid, so I don't know. I just knew from the gate that they weren't the right choice for AMC.

THAT, out of everything he had done up to that point, is what sold me as a Rick Hearst fan. Rick Hearst believes in Ric Lansing soooooo effing much that he was absolutely FABULOUS in that scene. No lines, no big glitzy glass smashing... no yelling. Just the look on his face in that scene told me this dude is awesome. He gets what true acting is about. It's not loud, obvious, showy LOOK AT ME nonsense. It's in portraying the character's truth even in the quietest, most simple moments. My unpopular opinion regarding Rick Hearst is that I LOVED RIC EVEN THROUGH THE PANIC ROOM.

1. Reggie and Dani were a breath of fresh air. Those of us who have a little bit more BROWN in our epidermis were just happy to see SOMEBODY that looked like us (and those of us who are on the pink side who also enjoy persons of color on our soaps) and embraced the possibility of them becoming the next Jesse & Angie, 20 years later.

2. I agree. SMG's Kendall would NEVER be AM's Kendall. Two entirely different actresses with equally different takes on the character. I enjoy both, but agree that they're not "the same."

3. I don't miss Kelli Giddish at all -- thought she was overrated in the sense of that she didn't emote this "gotta watch this actor's scenes" feeling in me. She was a natural, which any basic actor should be, but nothing that was extraordinarily fabulous. Sarah Brown, in my opinion, had a touch more depth at Kelli's age than Kelli exhibited.

4. Totally agree. Robin WORKED the rehabilitation story. It was Robin's effort in redeeming Janet that sold me. Kate Collins' Janet pre-Robin and post-Robin was nothing more than a cartoon -- but I still enjoyed Kate's "Mirror Janet." She and Robin both nailed the dry sarcasm of the Mirror Janet character.

5. I :wub: YaYa DaCosta and I'm so proud of her. From what I saw on ANTM, she seems to be a very intelligent young woman and is a wonderful student. I believe she has what it takes to grow and learn while she's in this role. Seriously, I adore this woman.

Which leads me to my other Unpopular Opinion -- Tom Casiello has a hell of a lot more to do than just gossip on In The Zone and his blog in order for me to think he's some unheralded savior of the daytime drama genre. I think he's a great guy, don't get me wrong, but his views are nothing brand new. I've been here at SON for two years come this Saturday, and I've read numerous thoughts and opinions that could go hand in hand with his.

    • Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

    • Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust. 
    • I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.      
    • We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

    • In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16N2KPYDxR/ During the livestream tribute to #DrakeHogestyn we discussed the taping of #JohnBlack funeral scenes on Days of our Lives beautifully stated by his TV children Eric Martsolf Martha Madison
    • 1976 Pt 2 A young woman named Tina calls Norman’s hospital room, claiming she’s in town and is broke and upset about his condition. He firmly tells her to stay away, but she sneaks into his room later, upsetting him. He tells her she’s ruining his plan, but she can’t see why— after all, he’s told her he loves her, and they will soon be married. Norman becomes irate and starts yelling, claiming all his problems are because of Sandy. Meanwhile, Bob, who had left the floor station for Norman’s room, discovered he’d forgotten his stethoscope and returned to his office for it. Nurses passing Norman’s room heard loud shouting from within but assumed everything was under control, as Dr. Hughes was in there. When Bob finally returns, he finds Norman alone. Tina has slipped out, and Norman has had another heart attack. All emergency methods fail, and Norman dies. Bob takes it hard; he was his doctor and couldn’t save him. John Dixon, long resentful and bitter at Bob’s successes in his career, subtly manages to force a hearing into Norman’s death. The floor nurses report that Bob went to Norman’s room and an argument followed; then Bob called for help when Norman went into heart failure. Bob’s report is contradictory that he went for his stethoscope and found Garrison already stricken. Bob, assuming that this is only a routine death, has already left on a short vacation, untroubled and unsuspecting, so his written report must stand. He returns to find that the situation has escalated into a full-fledged investigation. Learning that the argument is the bone. of contention, Sandy comes forward and claims that she was in Norman’s room, arguing with him. Bob refuses to let her perjure herself, which John manages to use as credence in Norman’s contention that Bob and Sandy were having an affair. ‘Bob is angry when, after a week, the hospital board hands him an official reprimand; thinking this is virtually an accusation of guilt, Bob refuses to accept it. His first reaction is his resignation, but upon thinking it through, he decides he’s going to fight this. He withdraws his hasty resignation and begins to work with Tom to reconstruct the events of the day Norman died. Nurse Connolly finally admits that someone could have entered Norman’s room unseen, but Floor Nurse Holland is firmly convinced no one did. Carol Stallings is upset to learn that the business tactics of her husband, Jay, while legal, are not as ethical and moral as she would have hoped. Chris Hughes has asked Tom to take over Jay’s legal affairs for the firm. Tom decides the opportunity is too good to refuse, even though he personally doesn’t like Jay - and knows Jay resents him, as he and Carol were at. one time married. Tom soon finds that some of Jay’s proposed new dealings are somewhat illegal, in the gray area, and tells him he advises against them. It is a  lawyer’s function to protect clients from making this kind of mistake, he explains. Kim Dixon has recovered physically from the injuries she sustained when she was hit on the head during a tornado, but her amnesia continues. She has been told that she was about to divorce John and marry Dan, but cannot seem to feel any emotions toward Dan now. In fact, she has noticed that most of the people around her seem to dislike John, and she is therefore feeling sympathetic toward him. John manages to usé Kim’s uncertainty to widen the gap between her and Dan, and finally convinces Kim to let him move back home. Dan is very badly hurt upon learning of this. Kim explains to Bob that she feels uncomfortable with Dan—she senses that he expects more of her than she can deal with now—while John has been thoughtful and understanding of her. Susan Stewart, Dan’s ex-wife, has stopped drinking, and tries to help Dan through this painful time by taking the holiday season responsibilities for Emily and Betsy upon herself to relieve Dan of the burden. (Emily is Dan and Susan’s daughter; Betsy believes she is Dan’s orphaned niece but is in reality his daughter by the late Elizabeth Stewart.) Dan’s misery at Kim’s apparent rejection has finally  convinced him to accept a medical-mission assignment in Bolivia. Kim, meanwhile, has been having momentary flashes of memory, but none are long enough so that she can understand what she’s remembering. On the night Dan is leaving for Bolivia, however, she has a coherent recollection and remembers the letter she wrote to Dan saying she wanted to be with him for the rest of their lives. Learning that he is leaving immediately, Kim leaves three messages on his answering machine. But Susan, who still wants Dan back, overhears Kim on the phone and goes to Dan’s office, where she removes the tape. Susan later tells Kim that Dan got the messages but they weren’t important enough to handle before leaving for South America. Susan then suggests to Kim that she gracefully end it by writing to Dan saying it’s all over, and to press Kim further shé suggests that Kim has been ungrateful to John for the constant care and concern he’s shows her during the past weeks. I believe the Dan going to Bolivia story was when John Reilly left. When Dan returned, it was again John Colenback. So the Kim/Dan story had been initiated with Reilly/Hays.
