I remember that monologue, I've even used it with noun adjustment, ha! Something like, "I'm so flattered that you want to be like me, but don't kid yourself into thinking we're at all alike. Everything I have, I've earned. Everything you have, you've been given. And I know it galls someone of your stature to see a woman like me have what you thought was yours by birth. People like you are threatened of people like me, because deep down, you're afraid you're not going to be able to cut it without your trust fund. And you know what? You're right. ... I never would have set myself up the way you just set yourself up."

I am at season 3 episode 7 of this show. Anyway, was David Jacob's a Daytime Soap fan? I think this show is my favorite of the big 4 primetime soaps because it seems like the most "Daytime". I wonder how David would have been if he created Daytime soaps or if they decided to do a KL spinoff for Daytime.

I think a KL 2.0 daytime version would be awesome actually. And I have to believe that the showrunners were big soaps fans becuz they usually scooped some of the best in daytime (doug sheehan, sam behrensn jane elliot, robin strasser, kathleen noone and so on).

I am really loving it!!! Sid's death is so REAL!!! I feel so sorry for Karen. I really understood/felt her son when he was in Sid's truck. I love Lillymae as well! When Val sat on the stairs after Lillymae told Garry "I am going to fatten you up!!" she made a facial expression like "What the hell did I agree too!!".

That is essentially how my mother felt was when my grandmother decided to move to this place 5 minutes away from our house (versus 30+ minutes away were she use to live) as my mother is the one who encouraged her. My grandmother can be very domineering and bossy so as soon as she started making demanding phone calls (after several warnings from my aunts/uncles/cousins) my mother was like "Why did I not LISTEN!". It seems as if Val is getting used to her mother at the same rate, if not at the same 'stages', as mother did when my grandmother moved by our house.

Also, Karen is a lot like my mother and Abby is a lot like my grandmother, which makes everything seem more surreal.

I do like how KL shows how the seemingly most simple experiences in life are some of the most abstract human experiences.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.

      Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?

      I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!

      That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.

      On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

      Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?

      I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

      They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
