One of my favorite ever Erica lines:

David- I was having a private conversation in the privacy of my office. I will not be subjected to this interrogation.

Erica- I'll bet Dixie knows. Dixie's been guarding your office like a poodle on steroids.

:lol: Picture Dixie circa 2000, and it's a perfect description.

My fave from Melrose Place

Kimberly: Now you get this clear you opportunistic little bitch! If anythings old news around here it's you, and if you think that shotgun marriage you arranged is gonna protect you, then you are dumber then you look. Now you stay the hell out of our lives, and you won't get hurt, OK?

Sydney: What? I'm supposed to be afraid of you?

Kimberly: My professional advice, you bet your ass!

Cue the classic MP background music!

And one of my favorite scenes from the new 90210

Annie: Just so I am clear, everything you have done, the whole shopping trip, flying Jason out here, all of that was just to set me up to ruin my birthday?

Naomi: Absolutely! If you want Ethan, you can have him. I wanted to see you miserable, and I got my wish.

Annie: That's sick.

Naomi: Oh don't give me that holier than thou routine, you're no innocent here.

Annie: OK, I should have told you about Ethan, I grant you that, I wanted to tell you.

Naomi: But you didn't did you? No instead you tried to play me for a fool you backstabbing, duplicitous, bitch!

Annie: OK, I was trying to spare you feelings, I knew you'd be upset, so I was trying to find the right time, but you didn't even like Jason, you just went after him to hurt me.

Naomi: You deserved it. I am so sick and tired of all you people who won't tell me the truth. First with my dad, and his mistress. And then my mother, and her son.

Annie(cutting in before she can finish): None of that was my fault!

Naomi: All I know, is that before you moved here, my life was perfectly fine.

Annie: No, before I moved here, You were just lieing to yourself, and getting away with it. You'd rather have people fear you then be honest with you. You are manipulative, and cruel, and the only person that you should be blaming for feeling so alone right now, is you.

Embarrassingly, I only remember the first half of the exchange, but last summer or fall Dorian got mad--reallllly mad--at David, and screamed the she could horsewhip him.

David had a beautiful comeback that made me laugh out loud, but I don't remember his exact words... something along the lines of, "How I've missed that" I think

ANOTHER WORLD- During Halloween, Cecile arrives on the Cory property via helicopter, shocking Jamie & Rachel

Jamie: Cecile!

Cecile: Trick or Treat

For some reason, this great little piece with AMC's Adam and Marian from Thanksgiving 2004 came back to me today:

Marian storms into the Chandler mansion P-I-S-S-E-D! because Adam didn't invite Stuart to have dinner at the mansion, and so while she (along with Opal, Palmer, and Brooke!) are bitching him out hardcore, the front door slams, and Adam gets scared that it's Stuart.

Marian: What?! Scared, Adam!? Oh, don't worry! To keep his mind off the pain, Stuart's been baaaking all day! Twelve pumpkin pies! Nine apple pies! Just baaaaaaaaking all day!

I swear, it was JB's delivery of the "baking" that made it hilarious. I hope it's on YouTube somewhere.

Yes, yes, yes. B) Heavens are ablaze with perfection these people deliver on a daily basis every single year. There are no rotten apples on that team and hardly any current - and many of the years past - can match the exquisite dialogue GH writers give us with each new episode.

Spectacular. :D

The perfection is even more visible given the unsurpassed amount of horrendous storytelling this soap has had in quite some time...

"Who is upset that you're spending time with me? Who is possessive enough to get in a snit? Who is narcissistic enough to use a Felicia Gallant novel to make a point? . . . Felicia Gallant!"

(Donna Love to Cass Winthrop, AW, April 1998)

God, I love early 90's GL dialogue! That whole era of the show felt you were just licking the rich history of the show, and the dialogue was no exception.

I was just watching a scene where Maureen barges into Holly's office and accuses Holly of having another affair with Ed, anyway things cool off and they start having a civil conversation. I LOVED Holly's dialogue about her relationships with men, so true, yet so tragic. LOL!

Holly (to Maureen): "I don't think men really love me, I think they get obsessed with me like I'm some DISEASE or something. Roger runs off and drags me through the jungles of Santa Domingo and Daniel makes me play a part in this sick parody of a wedding. THOSE are the kind of relationships I wind up in, and the good men like Ed and Ross, I throw them away. Look at what you have, you and Ed - you love each other, you respect one another, you're raising a child together and you're always the place where everybody goes to for warmth and comfort. You've got what EVERYONE WANTS."

It starts 2:26 into this clip:

Roger Thorpe's speech at Maureen's grave site is another one of my favourite pieces of dialogue.

Roger: "This is the first chance that I've had to come and say "goodbye" Maureen. I know you understand why I didn't come to the funeral. You were always trying to keep the peace and I seemed always to be breaking it somehow. You never judged me though, did you? You managed to find something worthwhile in me, something salvageable, even when I couldn't. This is gonna sound really crazy, but I used to picture what it would be like to live with you. You remember, of course you remember, that night of the Towers blackout, remember when we were trapped in the stairwell?

Did you know ... there was a moment when I had this uncontrollable impulse to just grab you and kiss you? I'm glad I didn't. You would not have received it well! It is so strange to me how all this developed between us, but your approval of me, your acceptance , came to matter to me so much. I can live with the hatred of all the burghers in this town, I can even relish it, but I never would've been able to stand yours.

Your generosity of spirit completely disarmed me Maureen. Thank you for liking me. It meant so much more to me than you knew. Things we never say when we have the chance, right?

Anyway, I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna come visit every once in a while.

I surely am gonna miss you."

    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

    • Sydney Mikayla (formerly Trina Robinson on GH) graduating from UCLA, June 2025 https://www.instagram.com/p/DKh92usSow8/ officialsydneymikayla In 8 days, I’ll walk across the stage at the #1 public university in the country — @ucla What a journey.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward              
    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
