That wasn't directed towards your post BTW. That was directed towards the "B&B Winner of Monte Carlo Award." I mean, it's great that the show gets all these international awards and stuff, but really., what happens next? Are you gonna continue to churn out the same crap every day, four days a week, 36 weeks a year?

People will just buy anything...

Seriously, just look at the current state of daytime. I think these shows are so awful no one should watch them. Turns out: 2 or 3 or 4 million people watch. :mellow: Steadily. :mellow: No huge audience drops or fluctuations. :mellow:

And in countries where B&B is so popular the audience will really buy whatever they shove in their face. Important that it's B&B. Story? Who cares. It's rich people in LA.

Ohhhhh... Now that you mention those two, of course I've heard of the trilogy! :lol: But never seen it.

But I found a synopsis, take a look at it:

The only good thing about it is "She brings them down to the ruins" :lol:. The rest? It needs to be severely re-written.

Yes, it was a very typical "poor, ignorant" girl thing, with all the cliches and crap thrown in. But the revenge phase was admittedly very fun. She turned into a cold-hearted bitch.

But she even had a dog, and we heard the dog's thoughts! Tres crapee.

I don't know what "grow up" means in this context. I think the numbers speak for themself on this one, and it is American audiences that are out of step, not every other country. B&B has an audience of 26 milllion people and only 10% of that comes from its home country. I don't know which the mature soap is, Y&R, GL, OLTL...but which ever one people choose, B&B seems to appeal to more people, so why should they grow up?

    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
