:lol:

Dear heavens! It's like we're all on some kind of maniacal, crazy swing somewhere, in some asylum! It's completely crazy here! :blink: One week people admit that Maria Arena knows sh!t about fashion, art and writing, the next - it's the same old lame story from her beginnings on Y&R where she is proclaimed as the next Messiah.

It is overbearing to the point of being hysterical and maddening at the same time.

Maria strikes me as someone who has led a completely blasé life for the past... Twenty years. Where everything was light and feathery and flute-y, served on a silver platter, with gigantic mansions spread all over US and beyond, each with a pool with the size of an ocean, private jets, chauffeured limousines, haute couture and what not. Like someone who is bloody rigid bored with everything and hasn't found herself yet.

But you are so right. If she lost the control, you bet we would find it out from her mouth on five different sources.

I'll be the first to admit that I thought Maria needed time. Defending her through alot of her initial missteps(including those painfully stagnant first six months), but the reality is that(as I said earlier) she got way in over her head or just really gave up, assuming that Y&R would stay at #1 while she kept her producer/writer credit and went on vacation.

I got the "classy but not" comparison from her story she told the press about how Sally Spectra was loosely based on her father. :ph34r: I mean, Spectra was great, but far from class.

I want her to have a midlife crisis, discover that she loves paper airplanes and leave Y&R to make them on a regular basis.

I wish I could say I'd be surprised at this, but I can't.

Due to some personal reasons, I was unable to view the past three Y&R episodes, and I don't think I will. I certainly don't have the incentive to keep up with this pile of steaming sh!t. I'll still watch until it ends, but this show is making it easier day by day to become numb to the stupidity and mismanagement that plagues it.

Whatever Y&R (and those who run the show), keep up with your arrogance and denial, the show will end soon anyway and all you hacks who just do it for a paycheck will be where you belong - unemployed.

    • Yeah I saw it and it's still idiotic. I like the Pope, but it's not interrupt shows newsworthy
    • As someone who was watching OLTL at the time, Dano did excellent work, but the writing was weird. Dano even got Emmy nominated for what she did. However, it did feel that the writers did not know what to do with her, but to be fair, it did feel like a lot of that was that the character was a network mandate and the writers were making it up as they were going on. I didn't watch Dano's trek around all the soaps. That kind of thing would have worked better with an ABC performer not someone who had been off OLTL for decades. I can't imagine AW without Felicia Gallant. I really don't want to because she provided so much joy for me when there was so much disappointment on that show. The only time I thought her character didn't work was the John/Felicia storyline but it got Anna Holbrook an Emmy so I can't complain all that much. It's just another example of drama at the expense of character.
    • Bringing this over from the soccer/soaps ratings thread yesterday:  Errol said: "CBS put out a notice that it could preempt at a moment's notice as the Pope selection continues, dependent on how long it takes, of course." New pope just chosen, name to be announced soon. Yeah CBS-NewYork channel 2 is airing Pope coverage instead of Y&R right now.
    • @brisbydog - I like that you have a signature font, très chic Abe and Paulina's new apartment was the first thing I noticed.  I don't understand why people over a certain age in Salem automatically move into a condo? When it seems just as simple to make the set seem like a detached home.  But, I will give points to attention to detail of choosing colors that compliment the Black actors in the scene. Which then led to the second thing I noticed.  Why would EJ want Kayla's office, when his is 3xs the size?  Also, even if he buys the hospital, won't Kayla get to keep her office? Lastly, can we at least give Cat the agency to decide on her own with whom she wishes to date?  Do men actually need to negotiate on her behalf?  She's stunning.  My advice would be if Chad is friend-zoning her after a year together, move on to his richer brother.
    • OH!!! I love it. I can't believe I missed that. In one of the 2 fan events held the 2 years after the sorry end of our lovely show, both  Anna Stuart & Stephen Schnetzer attended & I got to talk to each of them. Obviously I was in heaven. Although at least I didn't do my shy star struck thing.
    • We probably won't get any of our CBS soaps today cause of the Pope stuff, cause you know they have to air it on regular network despite having 24/7 news channels

    • I still don't know when/how did Iris find out about Evan's connection to Janice?
    • lol Cass and Donna went on a bowling date!
    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to some of the nicest members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show.
