Yes, so happy that Judi is looking well and hope she continues to improve.

 

It’s so funny: I find Vincent so endearing in interviews (love the beard) yet so off-putting in his roles. I’d love to see him play something very light and not smug and/or supercilious.

Both Judi and Vincent seemed genuinely grateful for the reception from the fans over the years. It was entertaining and heartfelt. I liked how at times, both actors gently but firmly steered the conversation, so they wouldn't be rushed, as Alan can sometimes switch to other topics rather quickly.

 

Did my ears deceive me, or did Alan sort of imply that there was something focusing on Beverly McKinsey down the road? Perhaps her son will be a future guest?

During the livestream, it struck me that Irizarry seems like one of the few actors to emerge from the TOLN soaps, AMC 2.0 experience not embittered by how things turned out. In fact, he seemed open to the possibility of another reboot.

He seemed sanguine about the way the PP ended but was candid about being open to another try.

He seems to be getting steady work, so I don't think that this was desperation.

Why are they showing Peter Simon in the intro with Van Fleet already place? Lazy!

Never liked Hillary but she was a Bauer...they didn't even need to kill her just have the bomb put her in a coma and when she wakes up she is recast.

 

I looks like they were burying her in the BH side yard!

Oh dear.

 

It has been brought to my attention that I am contributing to the destruction of these forums. Without even realizing it, I am inflicting unbearable suffering onto certain members when referring to my favorite soap by its original (and grammatically-correct) name, which it only used for a mere 40+ years: THE Guiding Light.

 

Gentle readers apparently cannot withstand being cruelly confronted by the article THE. Indeed, it's being said that so many people have fled the boards over this and similar egregious crimes, only eight posters remain.

 

Who knew?

 

I'd like to make up for the anguish I have heaped upon those whose sensibilities have been wounded by the correct use of an article. I'll be happy to donate to a charity chosen by the injured parties. Perhaps Soap Fans for the Promotion of Illiteracy (an offshoot of Melania's Be Best campaign).

 

As well, I am being criticized for continuing to post here even though I have (allegedly) not watched soaps "since the 1970s." In my defense, I have never once made such a claim. I freely admit that the last time I enjoyed certain soaps was in the '70s, before the sci-fi craze took over, but I continued to watch ATWT and TGL (dear God in heaven, I cannot control myself!) until the bitter end. I suppose I should not be too hard on my critics for getting confused, however.

 

Reading-comprehension is not for everyone.

 

To those whom I offended, my deepest apologies.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Leslie having the nerve to show up at the Dupree House was pure insanity. Bill being revealed to be more ruthless than anyone would have thought was a good development. I have to imagine that will change Dani's view of wanting him back. The whole reveal was well done and Trisha Mann-Grant owned those scenes. That was most definitely material for an Emmy submission reel.

      I agree, all the Guys Tux were nice. I like how they differ from each other and all stylish in a way. Awe, same. Can not believe I actually have enjoying a current daytime soap. Rewatching these episodes over the weekend as a jump back into Ryan's Hope and Santa Barbara. Agreed! Exciting times.

       And it was pretty dope we didn't know that tidbit before the reveal.

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By janea4old · Posted

      yes I thought of the Renee party... But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans. I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025. But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead. That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.

      She is diabolical! Remember in this scene she offered Martin a brownie which seemed so random? In this episode its revealed that when he was a kid, Ted used to bring him to a restaurant where the waitress would give him brownies....that waitress was Leslie. She was playing games and trying to jog his childhood memory

      Bish what? I was not expecting that, I was for sure expecting him to go after Nicole (He still can). Looks like Leslie put her out! I love these new developments, Eva Dorian Lording her way into Fairmont Crest. My good sis better trap that doctor.

      It should be in its synopsis on the DVR description of the show.

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Well, in a way DAYS "Renee Dumonde DiMera Threw a Party & Invited Everyone & Then Told the Whole Town Off" if you see what I mean. She definitely pretended that she was throwing this shindig for a pleasant reason while she KNEW her real intent wasn't pleasant AT ALL. And, everyone in Salem was targeted by her in this way.  I mean it was supposedly a celebration of her engagement. But, that is not what happened! I think it checks off all your boxes. And, before today I would definitely have called it "singular". There was nothing like it. Now, there's something not only similar but possibly .... more far-reaching? I was just struck by a thought. When MVJ was tasked to write a catfight, she wrote the best catfight that has ever existed. I'm not sure but what if she's done it again?!!
