Well when I find it completly sucky (lets hope it doesn't get that bad again) I'm bailing, no loyalty for suckiness here. Now I'm at that stage where I pick and watch the stand out good epis or the ones with my favs on. I somewhat still like Phyllis and for some odd reason Sharon and I love Chloe so I'll tune into tomorrows skipped today's though

Maybe it's just me but I don't see those Nina/EH comments enough

I understand these points. But it does seem like, up until the comment on Kevin, the complaints have been rotating around the same topics. If it were varying negativity, I, personally, wouldn't have as much of a problem.

I agree to a certain extent. I skip out on all the blandness and watch until the storyline begins to completely suck again. It's worked for me so far with OLTL. I just can't stand watching something everyday that makes me want to throw a chair at my poor tv screen just because I've developed a habit.

Um, I think I offered a good variety of stuff I don't like on this show.

-The horrible quad.

-The crappy art story

-The Winters crap and Tyra

-The constant misogyny and the weak women on this show

-The reliance on shock tactics

-The stupid retcons, like Phillip coming back from the dead, though we saw him DIE.

and there's more I'm forgetting...

I think that's the other side of the coin. I've seen people made completely miserable by GH to the point that it affects their personal happiness. If that's happening to someone, then it's time to call it a day or take a break. No show affects me in that way though. I may not be pleased by what I'm seeing on ATWT, but when the show is over I leave it behind me.

# Sharon thinks she's won the fight for Nick, but unseen, in the background, Fate is quietly slipping a horseshoe into its boxing glove.6:40 AM Jun 10th from web

I found this posted on the VictorNewman twitter blog.

I'm not sure how to post a url on this board.

This makes me think they are going to drag out the Nick/Sharon/Phyllis thing a bit longer, which I guess is realistic (even tho' I don't like it).

If this stupid quad doesn't end by the end of the year, it might finally be my breaking point and I'll have to quit watching this garbage.

All of these people keep on being treated like crap, yet they go back for more emotional abuse? I have no sympathy or care for any of these characters anymore.

I look forward to seeing Nick and Sharon reap the continual harvest of their reckless actions.

The only thing that will satisfy me right now is if Phyllis makes a clean break, and lives a really together life. I want Nick, on a daily basis, to be reminded of how much he threw away.

And he didn't throw away anything when he and Sharon split after 10 years of marriage?

Phyllis has had other longterm partners on this show, she can easily be placed somewhere else. But it seems TPTB like pandering to stupid rabid fanbases. Leave Shick in their own orbit and let Phyllis and Jack move on, not with one another for the immediate moment though.

If Peter Bergman can't sell a story than there's something deeply wrong with the story. The Quad is beyond over. I don't care anymore. If that was your intention MAB, the BRAVO, you win. You have BEAT the Shick fan out of me, you have BEAT the Sharon fan out of me and if you keep this up, you'll BEAT the Jack fan out of me. So thanks for that!

I did love the ending today with Adam. So deliciously disgusting and hilarious with his threat against Victor. Adam is one vile piece of trash but damn I still can't help but like him. Stupid CE! :rolleyes:

Poor MJ! She doesn't want Paul to be an enemy! :D

    • Thank you for the info about SFT related to EON. I thought about adding SFT to my watch list, but I don't know if it's the kind of soap for me. I know very little about it except for a few of the actors and that it was on two different networks. I also know based on this board or somewhere else that the two Lizas both died young from cancer. Warms my heart to see so many EON people on SFT because they are such good performers and I wish they had been moved to other shows. Perhaps, they were and I'm just not aware of it.
    • There was a few times when Silk Press Sheila came into her apartment after going grocery shopping.. she could have been unloading her items as she talked to Eva or Ted and saw a few of the products on the counter that are P & G products.
    • I enjoyed today's show. I liked seeing Mona again and her confronting both Eva and Leslie. I did feel for Eva, especially at the end of their confrontation, when Mona said "Good", when Eva mentioning losing everybody she cared about. Though, I can understand Mona's anger and Leslie deserved every bit of her ire. Both Leslie/Eva betrayed her especially Leslie. Mona put her both her professional and personal relationships with the Duprees on the line and what Leslie/Eva did put her in an awkward position. Speaking of Leslie she continues to act trifling and caring only about herself and her needs. At this point, it only seems like she cares about herself and wanting Ted for herself. I'm not even sure how if her feelings for Mona were even sincere, though she called out about people turning against her after Mona left. I have yet to see Leslie really display that she sincerely cares about anyone, and I do think that needs to change at some point. I enjoyed Nicole and her scenes today with Leslie/her children. I also like that Martin took a more sensible approach regarding how the family should handle Eva. He did straight up acknowledge she was his sister, and it seemed like he was opened to up to accepting her. I think he will be among the first in the family to soften towards/accept her. And in spite of the way she was introduced into their lives, he will end up being happy to have two little sisters. I wonder again about Kat/Eva being twins/Eva being Nicole, when Martin/Kat brought up them being the same age and Kat even used the word "twins" in disbelief, when Martin suggested they shared a connection from the beginning.
    • LOL! They did show a Pantene and Dawn commercial today. Image them incorporating those into the show. 
    • He joined Julian in Bermuda when he getting a divorce from Ivy. And, was the one who tricked Theresa and Julian in to believing that they had gotten married there. That would be nice.  That was such a good book, and it was too bad that the show retconned it so much. I still have my copy somewhere.
    • Instead of Febreze, Eva pulled a few tissues of Puffs and cried into them. Hayley comes in with a pack of Always and is like "Well, Bill turns out I'm not pregnant." Andre and Derek sharing a bottle of Pepto after eating Ashley's cooking. Vernon and Anita drinking up their Metamucil. 
    •   I liked the actress who played Tina. She was not the typical soap hire. I hadn't thought of her in many years until I saw a Spauldingfield video of her. It makes sense if they were planning to make her Frank's daughter as she was tied to the Coopers and nothing else was done with her beyond singing and the relationship with Marcus that Rauch never cared about. David was hurt by Monti Sharp leaving the role. I don't blame Monti for leaving, as he was getting less and less to do, but Russell Curry was a very generic actor was too old for the part. Yes, black don't crack, but he was nearly 40. When David returns at the end of the decade they cast an actor who was a little too young, which just shows how little interest the show had in the character or black characters in general (and random recasting would return with the Boudreauxs). Marcus is a character who got a lot of buzz early on and then the show lost interest (again).  Anyway, if you stay watching, be warned that the Hart/Dinah/Roger stuff gets worse and worse. Luckily you don't have the same lengthy ties to the show so it may be OK for you. It made me feel a bit sick at the time. Thanks for giving more info. And to @DeeVee and @P.J. as well. I suppose there were tiers of people who were seen as disposable, and Eve was shielded for a time due to that tier. Once they were clearly getting rid of characters like Justin or Amanda, then she was also on that list (I know she left before they did but it wasn't that long before). Characters like Eve, quiet, able to be used in many avenues, are important for community, or they should be, although she had clearly reached a natural end. The problem is no one really replaced her - all the characters who were likely seen as dull were shipped out from 83-85, and we were left with an unbalanced canvas (and characters who were meant to be exciting but were still dull, like Calla, Simon, et al).
    •   Footballers Wives! That takes me back

    • I just find her obnoxious and I need somebody to start checking her (other than Bill) without couching it in you’re so strong and wonderful and Bill did you so wrong. Even Anita pulls punches with her. Her personality would definitely rub some people the wrong way and I hope once the canvas evolves beyond Dupreeland, she gets some adversaries who aren’t villains or 90-lb. weaklings like Haley.
    • Wow.... Anita and Dani are the ultimate symbol of mean girls.   I hate to tell this to Dani... but Eva's ability to do hair is a much more coveted job and skill than Dani's modeling.   I doubt Dani could cut it if she lost her money and was truly forced to start over from square 1.
