I did not realize McKenzie was only 22 when she was cast on Passions. She looked older to me.

I assumed the actress was in her late 20s when the show started. Even then she seemed too young for Ethan to refer to her as Aunt Sheridan. Not to mention being best friends with Princess Di!

Game Shows

I remember watching a few episodes of Musical Chairs on YT one night a few years back and really enjoying it, so I'm glad more of it has popped up. The mid-70s really was a wild wild west when it came to game shows. They were debuting and ending at a higher rate than primetime TV, and it seems like shows were given just a few months, some times really weeks, to catch on. All of that would come to an end as soaps began to expand. IMO, the true golden era of daytime was when soaps and games co-existed in almost equal measure.

I think it's during the commentary on the Season 1 DVD (that I bought in...Lord knows when - 2005?!) where either the Shapiros or the Pollocks said that the first season hadn't done as well as the network had wanted. So they did focus groups and the biggest thing they discovered was that no one cared about the middle-class family. They wanted to "see what was going on behind the doors of that mansion!" So they changed the show and, people will always debate its quality, but between that change and the addition of Joan Collins, the show became a hit.

Can't disagree with facts. I still love the show and I've embraced it for what it is... but I also think that the more they trash these characters (mostly the villains) with over the top cartoon stuff, the harder it's going to be to get them back to a survivable place. Meaning - to keep them longer. That's why I said I want Hayley turned into a human being again after the culmination of the poisoning. Tone her down. Give her a new plan and a new agenda. More opportunist than a homicidal Cruella. I would prefer if the "evilness" and cunning could be more subtle... that way it will be way more sinister than the... - in your face... stuff. I mean... the way Hayley is constantly putting that poison in drinks... while talking to herself... as much as I love and adore her... there's just a limit and then it becomes stupid. Nothing to do with Marquita who is a sublime and should be kept in this show for as long as possible. It would have been way scarier if we saw Bill not feeling well... and just one shot of Hayley smiling in the background... and then we see a glimpse of the vial with the poison in her bag. Just the way it's written... matters.
I'm choosing to stick to the positives... but I do see the cracks too.

Dr. Nicole has always said weird shít lol. That's just one more thing that's always needed a tune-up since the beginning. I don't think Hayley is any more or less outrageous than Leslie, the only difference is Hayley's plans are totally lethal and have a built-in shelf life.

I dont know. The characters just be saying stupid stuff that dont make sense. Nicole is the one of the better example of a character that took a major hit. She used to be my fave and now I dont get her most of the time

Ah! You are absolutely right... Dixie really grew on me over time. Initially, I saw her as homewrecker, and given my sympathy for Brooke, I couldn't help but dislike her... However, as the story unfolded, she transformed into a true heroine, someone I could root for... I appreciate that you remember my earlier dislike, as it shows how our perspectives can shift with time and new context. In a way, this is what makes soap operas so engaging... characters evolve, and so do our feelings about them. I'm excited to see how our perceptions align or differ in the future. 😊

Yeah, their stories weren't always the greatest (except at Loving) but B&E always stood up for the Black canvas. Their brief AMC run had maybe 5-7 Black contract players, not all of them related lol.
I vaguely remember finding Vicky Spaulding stiff as hell myself. I always wanted to bring the character back with a good recast. Terrell Tilford has always been comical. I tried to support him as Rachel's love interest at OLTL in 2009 but he became best known for a memeable moment at the hospital - 'a brain is not a foot!'

He wasn't wrong, lol. It's one thing for Greg to resist pursuing a relationship with Paige for any number of reasons (the age difference, his devotion to Laura, his inability to be emotionally present for anyone) but there comes a point when Paige and Greg start to look like Sam and Diane without the physical comedy.

Paige seems very polarizing but I get the sense people either loved her (and her with Greg) or hated her. I am very curious to get to that era and judge for myself. I know Devane critiqued the relationship in an interview a few years ago and said he found it juvenile or something.
