Disagree on most- but different strokes for different folks.

But I will admit the identity was completely stale, and same problems persist- with the rotation...people tire quickly of the front burner. force fed stories they aren't interested in, and are told to come back later when this wraps up in a few weeks.

What! Renee Elise Goldsberry is the [!@#$%^&*]! I never knew so many people didnt care for her. :( We can agree to disagree on that one. She's beautiful, she can act, she can sing and she's easy to fall in love with. The fans, for the most part, dig her big time. :) whooo you learn something new every day. :)

Higley. God.

You know, she must be very happy looking at her DOOL demos... is the show good? Are the fans happy??

In what other industry could you be fired after a few months headwriting a soap, go on and pretty much destroy another, and then be rehired at the same show that fired you after a couple of months??

I hope that show survives though. Hell the demos are better than OLTL's! :(

I totally agree. For me at least, right now, Ron is writing good stories for characters who do nothing for me. I just keep waiting for the good writing to focus on characters I do care about. I feel like it's coming, but it never does. Meanwhile, I keep getting the nuQuad, and very little else. Then it's the teens. Then it's back to the nuQuad. I don't care that much about Vanessa and Cris and Lola, but how am I supposed to when they're on like once every two weeks. I love Jared and Natalie and they have a sweet story, I am enjoying it, but there's so little development. Jessica and Brody are intriguing, but again, they weren't on all this week. Rex and Gigi were just a little bit of relief from Todd and Marty and it seems that was their sole purpose. They did NOTHING!

I find it hard to understand the strategy. If you're not interested in Marty, this week was disposable. I am still hopeful that this too shall pass and we'll get on with the BE story.

LOL! It's not that many and I refuse to weigh in on the topic. There are about five people here discussing and three of them openly claim to not care for her (remember, I didn't weigh in). I will say "the fans" are divided. Some loved her beyond reason, and others hated her beyond reason. Few were neutral. That's a good thing.

I don't know about you, but I stand in the line at the market and endure far worse from idiots talking on their cell phones. I hate foul language, but it's just how some people talk. I don't know what to tell you. I just know that some obnoxious person spewing filthy language on their cell phone isn't enough to make me change lines at the market or stop posting here. I hate lines worse than foul language and I enjoy posting here. I guess if it bothered me enough, I'd stop reading the threads.

Trudi's right. It's just how some people talk. It's my personal belief that words are words, and although some are "harsh and foul", there is a time and place to use them, and a soap opera board, in my opinion, is not a place where I should not not curse, if that makes sense. :)

I'm not a prude, but boy it angers me when I hear people using words they know are offensive to some. This board attracts all ages and types, so why would anyone deliberately want to offend people who view such language as disgusting?

    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.
