Thanks. :)

Sure, with these soaps we always have to expect that something might come and destroy it. But just as long as it's great, I can enjoy the ride.

Hey Manny, why do you still have "Happy Holidays" in your avatar?

I don't have time to go through all 12 pages of this thread, but did anyone else notice the prominently-aired headline of the newspaper talking about the 'Chancellor Imposter'... misspelling 'Impostor'? I was shocked no one at the show realized their headline was misspelled.

I did notice that... but of course when I looked it up, the dictionary had both spellings, so I thought maybe I was the moron, and not the prop guys. LOL!

And DES, it's GREAT to see you in a Y&R thread. I thought you were an ABC boy?

Whoops! Guess I'm the goof! Oh well... I'll have to look for a new way to undermine a CBS soap this week!

I am generally an ABC boy, but I guess I'm more of a soapnet boy, so I keep up with Y&R, which has kept me interested more lately than it EVER has, and more than ABC has. And today I watched B&B instead of AMC. I like that Steffy Forrester, but the show is so melodramatic I almost choked on it.

Good to visit, brimike!

Don't be a stranger - your posts are always fascinating to read, and you bring up a lot of really intriguing ideas. The thing I miss the most about my time as an ABC viewer was getting to read your thoughts. Well, that and Erika Slezak and David Canary - but we all know how THAT is going. :rolleyes:

Well thanks, that's very flattering! I haven't much to say about soaps lately. AMC is just a tragic mess, copying the breakneck pace of GH with less talented actors in general and less cohesiveness. OLTL is very uneven lately, hating the fact that suddenly Shane has cancer, Matthew's paralyzed, and Jack Manning has a huge voice now in the unending Blair/Todd tug of war. That generation just blew up overnight. And too much focus on Farah Fath. All I like right now is the twist that Shane's cancer makes Roxy's secret about Rex's father much more urgent and relevant, since he's the match that can save Shane. GH is just grueling to endure.

So I'll sit in the back row and try to catch on-screen spelling and grammar errors, until the soaps get themselves together and start entertaining again. If they can.

I guess the true test is that I'm always pulled into a Y&R episode, and always driven away from an episode of any ABC soap.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.

Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By carolineg · Posted

      Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.

      What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?

      By YRBB · Posted

      Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
