"The microphones can't pick up the voices, and soon the picture will fade. If on occasion you think of us, we hope your memory will be a pleasant one."

The final words of The Brighter Day.

For GL's penultimate month, one of my favorite soap friendships of all time, Roger and Maureen.

I found the wedding so dull and boring. What a let down. The ending was great though. I can't stand Bizzie. I can't believe EW thought they would work as a couple. So sick of Mallet..aka..Lurch and Marina....

Been meaning to post about last week's show (Tue) I happened to watch when working from home. You know what? Not bad. I loved seeing MK and PS share a scene together. Vanessa was on quite a bit and it was so great seeing her.

Shayne and Dinah go so well together. He's is just plain HOT and Branson really looks like he could be Newman's son. That voice. OMG. GT is just amazing and could pull off anything I think.

The only bad thing in that ep was Lurch and Co. Jeez. What a trainwreck they are together. This is a man that was once her uncle, and they're still trying to sell these two? GMAB. Just because they are living together IRL doesn't mean it works on the show, Ellen! They suck together. They're boring. And kinda creepy.

Lurch: "Mmmmmm my neice has grown up into a ripe lil thang. I'm gonna tap that like I did her aunt!"

MArina: "I have a daddy complex. I love gettin bred by ex-possible dads and ex-uncles"

Lurch: "Come to daddy!"

:wacko::wacko:

I love Bizzie and Dinah and Shayne so I could tolerate the wedding because of them. What I couldn't understand is Dinah confessing to stop Marina from being QUESTIONED! Yes, yes... would have torn their lives apart, but that was already happening. Marina was sick of Mallet dogging her around even after they'd determined she couldn't have killed anyone. What a weak plot. I don't know that I can even stick around until Sept. 18th. It's too painful watching this show now.

I'm not even motivated enough to poke around the back of my computer to try to fix my TV tuner so that I can record it...

Just don't care. It's sad really, thought I'd be more invested than this.

Well, in a weak defense of the timing of Dinah's confession, she has tried a couple of times to get Mallet to back off Marina.

It's stupid, I can't deny that...but I don't find anything compelling about Dinah and Shayne anyway, so if she ends up sacrificing this "happiness", I don't give a rat's ass. Looking back on it, I can't really say I've liked any of GT's love interests on the show.

Really? You're not a Shaynah fan? I like them together, but maybe I'm missing something since I only watch at the most 1-2 eps a week. I'm fixin to put it on the DVR beginning Sept 1 so I can see how Ms. Wheeler plans on ending the story.

BTW, I have no faith that she will end it well. But I've been watching this show for 30 years so....

I haven't seen today's show yet, but I read that Matt hit on Beth. Did that happen? Did they mention the story ten years ago where Beth chased after Matt and told Vanessa she was old and unattractive and needed plastic surgery?

I know that story was just a byproduct of Rauch's Maeve Kinkead hate, but boy did that make me loathe Beth at the time.

      Claybon said Samantha and Tyrell were initially 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons, first aged up to 10 or 11, and then finally to 16 and 17. Is that the first time soap children have been SORASed twice before ever airing?

      Is this someone you should be dealing with? I got the drama on lock. Leave it to me. You are my sister. You have loved & protected me every moment I've been in this world. It's my turn to stand up for you.

      I just watched it, it was decent, looking forward to Martin's secret. Glad to get info on why the children were aged up!

      !!! I felt the same. Martin secret has always been my favorite storyline.  I happen to Andre's wardrobe but it ages him. They have a grandpa vibe.

      Brandy was an odd mish-mash of a character. A radical during her college days, then a journalist/romance writer, I believe? But not so much of a radical that she had a problem chasing millionaire Alan, LOL. The actress, JoBeth Williams, went on to have a pretty good movie and prime time career.

      Thought I’d share this video featuring Cathy Carricaburu, now Foxhoven, who played Nancy Becker from 1976-1978.

      She talks a little about her acting career starting around the 6 minute mark and briefly mentions Y&R. I’d be interesting to see some of her work on Y&R since it seems to be her most notable role.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By VelekaCarruthers · Posted

      I believe Henry Slesar intended that the Paige/Nola plot would play out over three to six months and Paige would be the new younger ingenue; but a few things happened. Sharon Gabet didn't renew her contract and the audience didn't like the Paige/Brian romance as it flirted with incest. Kim Hunter revealed in an interview that she as slated for 3 months but Henry asked her to stay on for an additional period. I watched Edge during this period when it originally aired and Margaret Colin was not great in the role. She seemed very green among the vets as was the dude playing Brian. He was poorly cast which was unusual for Edge.  I think Henry started to get pressure from ABC and P&G to jazz up the show given what was exploding under Monty on GH at the time. I loved Kim as Nola and all the stories it generated for others. Miles and Deborah in particular. But the next who dunnit plot in this period was not one of Henry's best (at least for me the culprit and explanation were lame for Henry).
