I would love it, but I doubt it. I don't think they will kill her off anymore. She was emmy nominated for her last two stories, both of which pulled good ratings, but it didn't stop her from being backburned when they wrapped. I think this Sara/Lauren arc will be like the Pheila one and wrap in about 4 or 5 weeks. They need to free up Michael to defend whoever is the focus of the Adam murder trial.

It is hard to tell what the fans were responding to last week: The Adam story culmination, the start of Lauren/MamaBear, a combo or spring break for many kids.

It seems that way I know despite that I still have issues with the 'way their stories' are told I find it far more interesting when he just pops in

I find the character boring and they refuse to spice him up in a good storytelling kind of way so it is what it is. I've been watching for Nancy' storyline...I'm an Alexis fan

Carl, I agree.

But anytime OLTL beats AMC I am thrilled.

The entire industry is a lesson in futility. I haven't watched OLTL in a week, i thought it had gotten horrible in the last two weeks. I haven't seen Y&R in a month. Caught one episode and that was enough.

From what I read here the only decent soaps are Days and GH. Damn, I need to DVR Passions Reincarnated (Y&R) while I am a work today. I have to see this Tracey thing!

I was really down on OLTL a few weeks back but starting to become a bit more optimistic. The baby story is over. Viki is coming back. The sets - especially the ones at the Palace hotel or County Club - are great. I just want this stupid high school musical nonesense to be over and then I may be able to enjoy my show. I wish the show would pair Ford with Dorian, a la Dorian and Joey or Dorian and David. I think that could be interesting.

Either way, I'm optimistic.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
