I loved Jade too, and liked the actress.

When I first started watching ATWT, before the Hogan era, stories such as Alec's murder, Kirk and Sam, Georgia/Eddie, and early Katie, Chris, and Henry were what got me hooked on the show and I enjoyed those stories. That period of the show ranks very high with me as a viewer.

I liked most of Lloyd Gold's tenure on GL with the exception of the time travel, and parts of the Tori/Ross story, and Catalina(who was brought on by Labine).

This is in response to Cat's post:

I really think the writers and producers of Y&R had it out for all the tough "bitches," if you will. It just seems hella strange that all of the recasts withered and diluted the original characters-- Victoria/Colleen/Christel as Lily again (ZZZZZZ!)--, the introduction of cartoony caricatures -- Gloria, Amber, Jana(GRRRR!!), Stafford as Sheila (Kimberlin's definitely had a lot more self-respect and even reason,LOL, than Stafford's), -- or boring characters-- Karen/Maggie/Heather (who were all interchangeable)-- the "death" of Dru, Ashley's departure, and how they completely neutered Phyllis, Katherine, and Jill. The only one who developed a backbone was Nikki, for some strange reason. In fact, it was almost as if focusing all of that feminine power on that one character sucked it out of everyone else.

This is perhaps why I'm enjoying Sabrina's character of late. She's really sticking up to her feelings for Victor and her integrity. The women on this show haven't been standing up for anything, or, if they do, they whine about it. (Hearing Christel whining about Chloe as I write this).

Speaking of Chloe and unpopular opinions. Sure, she's a heck of a lot more interesting than the other 20 somethings women but she ain't all that. This fixation with Cane is utterly ludicrous, which isn't Elizabeth's fault at all. Still, not really seeing that much in her yet.

I will never understand the backlash against CK's Lily and the worship of DS's Lily. Soap actors have to have two things: 1) acting ability and 2) looks, and IMO, CK has both of them in spades, while DS didn't have either... at all.

Thanks DP. :D (Kind of disheartening that that's an unpopular opinion though. :()

Re-watching the Mardi Gras explosion (AMC) recently, it struck me: no one gives better explosion than Megan McTavish.

If that isn't an unpopular opinion, I don't know what is, lol.

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems.
    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
