That's true, but even then, characters like Jason haven't had an actual storyline in years. People just plod along and plod along, aside from some moments here and there, like the "Sins of the Father" story.

Yes, but at least GH had women on, every day, in lead roles.

Tamara was the last time GH wrote a female as a lead, and even that was rather weak.

I have not found GH to really have a story in a long time. It has moments, and stunts, but no stories. But that might be because i dont find anything on gh has any real fallout or impact.

GH keeps half assing their stories. They introduce a plot and then put it in the background

Alexis hit and run court case and the Bauers going after her

Alexis' romance with Mac

Liz's baby's switched paternity and triangle with Nik and Lucky

Carly's scheme to have Brooke seduce Dante

Skye's money troubles

Maxie and Spinelli's nonmarriage and her flirtation with Matt

Maya's existence and possible romance with Ethan

Tracy and Luke's non-marital status

These are ALOT of plots and stories but I dont think GH is invested in any of them. They dont seem to get much focus and pop up from time to time, while at the same time it seems they are taking the characters in different directions. Take the Bauer situation. I thought it was resolved weeks ago and then all of a sudden the guy comes back psychotic and for revenge. Are Alexis and Mac even still together? I dont even know why Carly's revenge scheme continues to exist when Michael is out of jail and Brook clearly is moving on with Johnny. With the exception of Scrubs/Lisa which is finally picking up steam and the recent stuff with Franco, everything has felt like filler and Im sure will continue to feel that way as Brenda arrives.

She was an insult to women, or at least I would hope women were insulted by her. When she took over the role of Carly, the character became this pathetic browbeaten nothing who was routinely belittled, lectured and yelled at by Sonny and Jason, and frequently sent to her room--literally--so the men could talk.

Matt and Maxie having sex gives new meaning to the word "anti-climactic." She took him into a closet, f***ed him and then left the closet to return to her father's bedside. Not exactly romantic.

And this was considered a possible future romantic duo. Not to mention that it was the first sex scene by characters portrayed by Jason Cook and Kirsten Storms after 11 years on the air together. Not that there actually was a love scene.

I didnt say she was this amazing rep of females across the world. lol. But when she took come over? Lets get real now, VCarly was ALWAYS an insult to women.

I mean, this is GH.... no woman is a woman not be insulted by.

However, Carly was at her best with Lorenzo. To bad Mo flipped and ended it and got TK fired (leading to Tams quiting, thankfully).

      B&B: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.

      Y&R: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Taoboi · Posted

      To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.

      ALL SOAPS: Grade May Sweeps 2025

      By Taoboi · Posted

      Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.

      And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.

      That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.

      A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
