I dont think that Jess Walton is that fantastic. I dont think shes bad, shes seller. But shes not as fantastic as the hype.

I like Days of our Lives, tho that seems to be popular again. lol.

I never liked Luce Coe on GH or PC.

I like Ryan on AMC.

I don't think Nick's being an a**hole to Phyllis. He can't help but feel bad for Sharon. :(

I'm not gonna miss GL at all. Why didn't they cancel it even before they tried to revamp it into a hot mess?

I want Marty to die in another car accident. She's like a deep black swirling vortex. Every time I see her on the screen, I see death.

I think MAB's OK but she's mirroring a lot of storylines. For example, it'd be nice if various females on the show (Sharon, Phyllis, Karen, Nikki, Jana, Chloe) weren't on the verge of collapse/committing homicide. I'd like to see a guy break down once or no one break down at all. Jack just got a divorce from someone he didn't want to part with and is he about to go to Nick and bash his brains in? No!!!

I love Victoria Rowell but I don't think she should return. It's time Y&R to look toward the future and I'm sick of these shows inviting former famous stars to return only to have the writers completely squander their potential and talent and hype. It's either the real Dru or nothing at all. I don't want some fake-a** simulacra. Let's develop Colleen and Lily for Christ's sakes. More teen drama with Noah (forget Eden). Let's introduce more characters his age.

Some quick unpopular opinions:

I don't care for haughty Erika Slezak or her acting.

I'm still not seeing anything special out of Chris Engen. He has moments, but they're all too brief.

I think Monavie is delicious and it's changed my life. ***hopes Steve Burton will start posting on the board now***

that's because you're an !@#$%^&*].

All good. I can't stand Martha Byrne. :P

I predict rover's unpopular opinion is that he thinks Y&R is a snoozefest piece of sh!t show.

Here's another unpopular one: I think Jill Farren Phelps is one of the most talented EPs in the business. Love her.

Y&R is more often than not an overrated cliched bore.

GH was one the most overrated soaps in the history of daytime.

Ryan's Hope was friggin bore.

AMC has always looked cheap as f-ck. Yuck.

Days is the most insipid, trite, blah, middle of the road soap ever put on this earth.

JFP's OLTL era was good and more sustainably (is that a word?) watchable than any regime since (despite the plot driven writing)

Kimberlin Brown is one of the most underrated actresses in daytime, ever.

Fiona Hutchison is one of the most underrated actresses in daytime, ever.

Tonja Walker is one of the most underrated actresses in daytime ever. (Her 1993-94 work on OLTL is super scary and completely forgotten. Alex was fierce).

Melody Thomas Scott, ditto.

Susan Flannery is daytime's best living actress.

From Youtube alone, Beverly McKinsey is daytime's BEST ACTRESS OF ALL TIME. Period.

OLTL is one of the most underrated soaps ever.

Agnes Nixon- overrated.

Bill Bell- THE MASTER.

Oh another thing, GL was once a beautiful show visually. Even on Youtube, the early- mid nineties, the show looked almost as good as Y&R. They seemed to really pay attention to detail, even the outdoor sets were impressive.

Word. Max pretending to be Asa's son and the brain tumor was one of my favorite storylines ever on a soap. The only thing I didn't like about JFP's tenure was losing Robin Strasser.

Deedee- Her finest moments were of terrorizing other women. She used those expressive eyes, she used her TEETH for christ sake. Her and Carlo were super elegant, scary, romantic... I watched the show for those two.

The episode (which I wish was on youtube) when Alex brought Sarah back to CASSIE AND BO's wedding!!! was one of my favorite ever. She went up to Cassie's room (Cassie ran off when it was clear that Bo was like SARAH'S BACK- F U CASSIE!

and she proceeded to taunt her, torture her, and go detail by detail as to how she found Sarah and brought her back.. and then she PUNCHED HER IN THE FACE!!!

What has happened to these damn shows?

I sooooo agree.

again, agree.

i agree, but i think your being sarcastic. I really do like Monavie, its esp good with Vodka.

Id kinda like to know what was here that was bleeped out, lol.

and i agree about Martah. So overrated.

Me too. I wish she had control of GH.

I agree. I tried to get into it on soapnet... but no. it was such a bore.

i agreee with you on AMC too. the hospital is the first decent set ive seen on that show!

thats how we Days fans like it :P

Flannery is perfection.

I agree about BM too.

And once again, i agree on the final bits.

i dont think we have ever agreed this much!

Kim Zimmer is fat, fiesty, and fabulous, and I wouldn't want her any other way.

DAYS is full of [!@#$%^&*] and I honestly don't see how anyone could have an emotional connection to it at all.

Marnie Schulenberg is awesome, it's the writing that sucks.

Maura West is an incredible actress but Carly is DONE. Stick a fork in her, folks!

James Scott ain't nobody.

Oh, and just to be sure, NUKE SUX.

I only have one really unpopular opinion. I preferred Doug Marland's ATWT to Bill Bell's Y&R. Marland was a master storyteller whose stories were captivating and well drawn. His ATWT had a warmth, family atmosphere and subtle intensity that I found captivating. He always seemed to cast the perfect actor for their role and never got caught up in loving one character over the others for long stretches. I miss Doug Marland.

    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
