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.

    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
