I would give Y&R an A+, ATWT a B+ (loved the focus on Lucinda and Nuke!) and OLTL a C (good execution, but pretty disgusting subject). B&B has gone downhill fast meriting a D+, same as GH. The only F I would give out is for AMC. That show is the epitome of why soaps are mocked.

BINGO!

If anything the current Victoria is COMPLETELY unlikeable.

She lacks the soulfulness and warmth that Heather brought to the role. And also the intensity when the scenes call for it.

Heather is being wasted on that godawful B&B...

And listen,. I don't watch AMC, but someone said that AMC is why soaps are mocked- Hell to the no! B&B in its current state os why soaps are mocked.

I cannot believe that this TRASH is the one of the most watched shows in the world!!!

And I cannot tell you how much I miss Darlene Conley too. RIP~

I have read, and thought, OFTEN, that I wish Heather Tom and Amelia Heinle could just switch roles.

As a stunt, it would get a lot of publicity.

But I think they are more suited for their respective roles. Heather IS Victoria. And I think Amelia could infuse Katie with the sweetness and insecurity that she is supposed to have. Amelia's Katie would be more like Bridget...and therefore more plausible as the kind of woman Nick would gravitate toward. Heather just seems over-the-top to me in her Katie role.

I think everyone would make out well in that trade.

My preference for Amelia aside, I suspect the only way Heather would ever return to Y&R would be if Amelia left of her own accord. While Amelia isn't as popular as Heather (yet), she does have enough of a fan base to keep her on the show. Also, if Heather returned she would have to work with Thad Luckinbill, the husband of the woman who was just shafted in favor of Heather, and I assume that would be very awkward for all involved.

Why would Amelia want to go to shitastic B&B? Unless she's going to play "Brooke," "Donna", "Ridge" or "Nick," she would be on for a few weeks then relegated to holding-up-a-wall duty along with Lesli Kay, Ashley Jones and Winsor Harmon.

My pick for Sweeps:

Y&R -- A

OLTL -- A

AMC -- A

^^ Tied. They all offered something different & satisfying this month.

B&B -- F

GH -- F

Brad Bell needs to stop writing and just EP. His total lack of any long-term vision is ruining the show. As for GH, Guza should have gone years ago. He is beyond burnt out. GH doesn't even feel like a soap anymore.

I would love me some HTom as Victoria, however the show just doesnt write her like that.

thats why i dont have an issue with AH in the role, she plays what is written. When Victoria is bitchy she plays it well. They just dont write Victoria like they should.

I dont see Thad leaving even if AH was fired to be honest.

Y&R was the winner of the Nov Sweeps. OLTL is a close second and AMC is a distant third. Days, GL, B&B, GH and ATWT was the worst sweeps ever. I don't know what the hell what they was up to, but they fail, big time. Y&R went back to the old school way of storytelling and it paid off with fanfare and they care about the fans unlike other soaps. I think that OLTL was save for the performances of Susan and Trevor, but the s/l fell flat when they slept together. It ruined the character of Todd and I don't know if he can come back from it. But Y&R was clearly the winner of Nov Sweeps.

    • I still say this is Frank's way of saying goddbye to JJ, who brought nothing to the show and was a complete dud for his entire return. He's purposelY been given an awful exit. Is this all Jackson's fault? Most likely not, but I place most of the blame on him. Too many contract demands, too much working around his travel schedule, too many stories he refused to do. GH has WAY too many actors calling the shots and influencing story and hires. We've seen it hurt the show time and time again.
    • Yeah, like others have said, Paul took it home for me today. We'd be so lucky to have him back for good.
    • I really like the scenes between Dani and Andre today.  Regardless of where this goes or who they end up with.  For now I appreciate that they have honesty with one another.  There's deep truth and vulnerability.  More than before.

      date: Tuesday, June 10 | Gregori J. Martin, Cheryl L. Davis | Phideaux Xavier Andre and Dani continue to use each other for their own personal reasons. I mean, good for them, but the people they truly want to be with are not each other. Anita wanting the temporary passes revoked? Oh, I know that made Sharon mad as Hell. MAD! Tracy said, "Shut up! I'm in charge now!" Bill playing around with child bride, via Ashley... that was kind of cute, but I also kind of wish it were true. Sharon, sweetie, your ugliness continues to shine bright like the ugliest of cubic zirconia. And Tracy, your vulnerability is beautiful; this reunion means so much to you, and it's genuine. That's what I want to see. So, with Bill's right side affected, then his stroke was on the left side of his brain; interesting. Very interesting, and while it's nice that he is making significant improvements, more can and will be done. Rehab, huh? Will it be at-home rehab or at a facility? That's what I would like to know. I appreciate Sharon [finally] letting that ugliness fade and her truth begin to come out. That's beautiful. Vernon continues to be wise with his years and his wisdom, and his continued connections with his grandchildren, especially discussing the past (summer of '69) with Uncle Cornelius, I love this. This is what I enjoy seeing. Dani is catching onto Chelsea's crush on Madison, and I think she approves. So, Shanice was a physical therapist to start? Quite interesting. Wait, so Anita is leaving town? Why do I suspect she's going to come home to some messes she'll have to clean up? Notes: I've loved the muted, neutral tones that Tamara Tunie (Anita) has been wearing throughout, but then we get moments like today where she wears this vibrant pop of colour, and I'm fully in love. Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to shine in her facial expressions when Marquita Goings' Hayley is talking nonsense. She embodies Dani from head to toe, eye roll and all. Tunie and Clifton Davis (Vernon) shine together; it's a natural, old-school kind of chemistry they share as a couple.
    • Maybe Vetsoapfan will chime in. He might know. 
    • Yeah, I'm thinking that, too. It certainly would be one way to deflect from the embarrassment of being fired early in your contract.  
    • I was hoping Dani/Andre would get caught in the most awkward way possible. lol.  Shanice is now a PT. Umm...okay. Glad they are keeping her in the mix.  Anita going to Chicago. Is this a way to have TT offscreen for some reason?        
    • Andrea Evans was not on the show at this time.  A part of me does wonder if this type of story is just thrown in for juicy gossip and didn't really happen.
    • No, it couldn't have been her. She left early 1983 (with an actor who would become her husband, and still is, as far as I know). Other names from the era would be Shelly Burch (Delilah), Brynn Thayer (Jenny), and Andrea Evans (Tina). But I doubt any of these were powerful enough to push the eject button on another actress.
