Wow, OLTL raked in the goodies. Not bad for a show that got zero covers this year. If OLTL was the year's best show, then how come they didn't even rate a cover for the 40th Anniversary?

Speaking of which, has anybody counted the number of covers Eric Braeden got this year?

I agree with most of this -- except for Days' as Most Improved Show. It was -- until Ed Scott was fired and Hackley returned the show to a total snoozefest.

Most Improved Show has to be Y&R, in my eyes.

GH's JaSam on the cover? :lol: What did Greg Vaughan ever do to piss off Frons?

Are they really reuniting Jason and Sam?

How the heck did they get this when they havent been a couple in 2-3 years? Id barely call their interactions the past few weeks qualify them for any couple list. Id give this award to Nick and Bridget or Katie. Heck even Rick and Taylor would have done

Whats so unrealistic about them?

Really? I found them to be incredibly boring.

Erica a heroine?

Okay.

Yes.

Sorta.

YES INDEED LORD. YES!

Ugh, I agree. Love the couple, but they deserved a much, much better wedding. It was such a blink and you miss it thing.

Yes.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Yes.

Yes indeed.

Mhm! "...Doggy Dogg is a freeeek freeeek freeeeeek..."

Ugh. I hate to say it, but spring and early summer were incredible and deserve the title.

Who cares anymore?!

Yes, but ATWT's Billy Magnussen is also great for a recast (Zach who?).

Oh god yes. I forget that that was still this year. Trying to forget that it was last year as well.

Go 'head, girl! Erica Kane, heroine. Go 'head!

Yes indeed!

Ugh.

Agree, but I'd hit the sheets with him for some weird Australian hate sex.

I like them, but not together.

Yes, but in turns of falls from grace, look no further than the randy residents of Llanview.

Wow, I think I miss PSNS!

I agree that OLTL deserved Best Show. It had more "good months" than any other soap.

I think Y&R should've gotten Most Improved Show too. Instead DAYS got it? THey didn't have ONE good story this past year.

Did you see the Vincent storyline? I uploaded on Youtube if you want the link. It's pretty hilarious. LOL

It's a little bittersweet for me. OLTL had almost half its year dominated by a strike, and then several huge blunders storywise that mar it forever for me. In between that - January-February, May-June, and now November and December - it's had some very good soap. I think it definitely deserved Best Show for September 07-June 08, but for this year it's a little more dicey.

However, I feel that despite all its [!@#$%^&*]-ups in the last couple months, the show is getting back to what it is very good at, and is still better than any other soap save perhaps Y&R. So I am happy with Best Show. I think we...mostly...deserve it.

    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.
