Does SoapNet ever release ratings info for their crappy reality programming? I'm really curious how crap like "Bank of Mom and Dad" is doing.

Admit it..you're Christopher Goutman....LOL. The story with Nuke coming out might have been good but after that the story went downhill. Van and Jake having chemistry....nah.....they were so forced. You just gotta be CG....LOL Too much ATWT praise not to be him..and Noah of all people.....lol

Hold on you mean Nelson Branco is wrong? Not possible.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

If people looked like their avatars - Ruxton, I think I love you! LOL!

:D :D

[Soapsuds]

Seriously, I was wondering who that tramp in your avatar was Alvin....lol....I was like who the [!@#$%^&*] is Gemma Bissix...lol

IMO, gay stories have little impact on viewership. I think stories focused on two new characters that no one gives hoots about is a problem for any soap. This is why soaps usually romantically pair new characters with more established characters. The audience isn't interested in a couple of characters who showed up yesterday having a romance regardless of their gender. A better choice would be have long established character like Matthew come out and eventually having a romance. AMC had success with Bianca despite its attempts to sabotage her romance. On ATWT, I so looking forward to Luke's romance with Kevin, then horrible Jake Sieberman showed up and it was downhill from there.

IMO OLTL stinks. I agree. I have NOT enjoyed OLTL these days. The Mitch SL is stupid. These characters are NOT being written as they are. Clint has turned into a complete weirdo, while we see Dorian as a weaker character while she is in this "Mitch" storyline.

Good for AMC. I cannot wait to see what 2010 has in store because we have changes and the spoilers actually sound really good.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

LOL!

Well, at least Carl, Toups, and Chris B, as well as the other EastEnders and Hollyoaks followers know who she is.

[Soapsuds]

Hahaha...You'll never know....lol It could be me....

RC even ruined what could have been a great reunion for Bo & Nora

Thanx for the update, don't know the soap. Your posts are pretty passionate and I thought maybe the hormones were getting the best of you ;-)

[Soapsuds]

Bingo!! ATWT blew it when they didn't pair Luke and Kevin. They oozed chemistry. Instead we got Jake dull as paint Silberman.....ugh..and yes it went downhill and so did Van's acting.

[Saving ATWT]

Kevin was so yummy! He would have been the perfect top for Luke. Poor blind Noah can't tell Luke's belly button from is ...

somewhere on this forum in one of these threads there is a quote by Agnes Nixon about why she did not want P&G to be where she created AMC and OLTL, about how P&G had too many restrictions regarding race and minority characters on their soaps. I would hate to see OLTL cave in to the narrow thinking of bigoted viewers. It's a pity but this is probably what will happen. The fact that OLTL had probably lost a trillion viewers since ComaCop McBain took over the show is never factored into these decisions, or Todd and Blair, or Fara Fath and whoever plays Brody...it is always the marginal characters just passing through who just have to be the scapegoats while the status quo gets preserved.

LOL! The atrocity that is the American daytime serial in its current state is enough to get me riled up and passionate, to the annoyance of many, I'm sure.
