^^^17? I'm on 33. Walton looks tired today (which would fit the context of her scenes).

I have feeling this show is going to be in for a few really bumpy months, and we'll be questioning how much better is this show than the rest of daytime or the Latham era for that matter....

Is this another assault from us, the Dark Alliance? Against the Forces of Light?

But, yeah... It kind of doesn't look good... Problems weren't solved, their solution was just delayed.

That Civil War banner is HYSTERICAL!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^So why the hell are they acting like she's been there for years.

Today's episode entitled "Broke." LoL.

Maybe she was waiting in the wings all this time for a promotion?

Yeah, she probably poisoned Miguel's relative, so that he has to leave and she can take his place.

I know. I like it this way tho.

I consider myself among the Forces of Light, but I have to admit, I think we are in for a rough couple of weeks at the very least. Between the Lame wedding and Daniel super spy, I'm not feeling optimistic.

LoL Ashley: "You're still going to fire her, right?"

What the hell? Victor is always predictable.

As a member of the Wonder Twins, , I think the Lame wedding and Daniel super-spy are going to be ENTERTAINING. Maybe eye-rolling in places, but maybe laugh-out-loud in places. And regardless, THAT is why I watch my soaps.

I can get my Dostoevsky someplace else. And my cure for cancer someplace else too.

Let's say the Lame wedding is sickening. Well...that's GREAT. To sit around with people I love and snark about how sickening it is? There is NOTHING better. You've now given me a new name (Daniel, SuperSpy) that I will not be able to refrain from using. And that will heighten my enjoyment of his tale.

(If this weren't a reason to watch soaps, I'd NEVER watch B&B. My sole reason to watch B&B these days has been to snark and mock and roll my eyes. And you know what...that's a lot of fun!!!)

What are the Forces of Darkness actually wanting from a soap opera? I cannot imagine....

For you to stop rationalising and excusing every single possible Y&R story.

For you to stop rationalising and excusing every single possible Y&R story.

For me it is not rationalizing or excusing. For me, as I have said before, it is the "passenger" mentality. I'm going along for the ride. I won't tolerate EVERYTHING...but for the most part, it is my job to "consume". Indeed, constantly questioning every aspect of the creation, for me, ultimately takes me too much out of the story.

But again, and I know you can't answer. I wonder what it is, really, that the "Forces of Darkness" want from soap opera. Specifically, from this melodramatic, daytime, female-oriented, aged, shoestring-budget, crazy-time-pressure genre. Are we truly expecting something transcendent? On a regular basis? Really?

I don't think anyone here's calling for deep, long, drawn out philosophical stories on meaning of life and all that cr*p. People just want clever, non-idiotic, inoffensive, I-don't-find-you-an-idiot-who'll-buy-anything kind of stories.

Forces of light? Forces of darkness?

What the hell is this, PASSIONS? LoL.

Well, after all the ghosts and chipmunks, it's just a matter of time when Y&R will get its own witch and a mermaid.

I respect your optimism Mark. I belong to small GH board that is nothing but doom and gloom 24/7 and it gets old. That doesn't mean I object to constructive criticism, but there comes a point when being depressed and miserable about a soap goes too far. So I see your point about just going along for the ride. I'm going to try to approach this lame wedding and try to look at it with snark, instead of taking it personally. But I tell you as a woman all that sweetness is very hard for me to take. It's so unrealistic. Maybe I'm just jaded like Nikki and Phyllis.
