1.) Days! Days Days Days Days, Roman "What da hell" and "Dammit Sami" Brady is denser than the population of China.

2.) Guiding Light - Harlot Cooper parading around pretending to do something while Frank, Marina, Remy and Mallet walk around with their thumbs up their ass

3.) General Hospital - Gangsta's paradise.. keep trying Mac!

4.)Oakdale - You go Margo... :P it's a joke nothing ever sticks and they're clueless.

Y&R and B&B interestingly enough dont employ many civil servants (doctors, policemen etc) on their roster, usually they're filled in by dayplayers.

the rest I can't much comment on

PCPD on GH, easy.

Close seconds: PVPD, on AMC, where Ryan beats up cops and Chief Jesse arrives on the scene all "calm down, Ryan! Calm down! No big deal, just calm down! Here, can I get you something hot to drink, baby?"

Also, GL. In the course of a year on that show, one of their detectives (later Acting Chief) turned out to have moonlighted as a contract killer for the criminal underworld, another plotted to aid her con man boyfriend in a jewel heist and skip town, and the third helped a underage fugitive flee the country after shooting the District Attorney, and is still on the run today (though no one seems to fuckin' care or notice that Harley is still a goddamn motherfucking fugitive, no problem, just send her her kids Rick, no big deal!). And except Harley, both the other two are still on the force!

LOL...you guys are right about ATWT. They are pathetic! I saw a recent episode where some chick name Spencer faked her death and stupid Dani AND Margo ended up getting tied up by her. Spencer looked very amateurish and like some stupid cartoon minion from Scooby Doo or something, yet these 2 cops couldnt handle her

LOL. Spencer might actually end up in jail because she's unfortunate enough to fall into the villain of the month category. Simply put, the VOM drops into Oakdale, pretends to be all nice, then goes whacko, and ends up either in jail or murdered. It's been a pretty common trend over the last (*gasp*) THREE years now. BJ Green, Eve Browning, Colonel Mayer, Cleo Babbitt, Sofie Duran...even established characters like Damian Grimaldi and Adam Hughes. Jail or death. The only character who was sent to jail for a good couple of months then came back was Casey, but he's still out there breaking rules and laws (to help his little boyfriend Luke).

well I dunno about B&B, that det. Baker kept letting Morgan and Sheila and every other psycho of the month run free. Y&R's seem to be OK, charges stick, things go to trial where people get off with legal trickery.

GH obviously for their inability to even take down a mob lackey.

GL's is a joke, Marina Cooper somehow ends up one minute being a detective?!

Days ... there arent even words.

I can't believe I never noticed this before (SHAME ON ME!), but you're so right about the Bell shows.

I would love for some of these soaps to veer away from hospital/police station worlds. Obviously, not General Hospital (no need to explain why - LOL!), but I don't know where it was ever written in stone that cops and doctors MUST be front-burner on a soap opera. There are a lot of other interesting professions out there.

    • 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. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • 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.
