I'm really looking forward to LH on AMC too! :) Really looking forward to her scenes with Griffin and Jake. Amanda has annoyed me a lot lately, so I wouldn't mind if Cara tried to get Jake back. Amanda and Jake just don't interest me at all anymore.

THIS! I definitely agree!

AMEN to that!

For me, the sad part is that AMC chooses to play Madison's pregnancy like a weepy Bette Davis melodrama from the 1940's. Sure, the fact that Ryan possibly has another baby "on the outside" is bound to affect his and Greens' relationship in some way; however, if neither Spike's nor Emma's existence is keeping these two apart, why should Madison's baby-to-be? Her whole I-will-suffer-in-silence routine is just so cliched and unnecessary.

He isn't. When you get right down to it, Ryan Lavery is like every other male guest on "Maury," but with more well-defined abs.

There was a time, though, when you did have soap characters w/ morals and/or conscience. When men like Ryan Lavery didn't have several babies by several different women. So, if anything, Ryan is indicative of what has happened on daytime as a whole.

True. It seems every soap character nowadays lacks a conscience. I think the point here, though, is that Frons the writers have almost every character act as though Ryan is a Saint, God, SUPERHERO! It's like no character can talk smack about what a douche he is.... besides David (a.k.a. Satan).

Yup. If daytime wasn't infected with Baby Rabies we wouldn't have all these kids running around. It's like they only know how to write baby drama. Frankly, I'm sick of All These Children. Emma, AJ, Kathy, Jenny, Miranda, Gabby, Spike, Ian, etc... and now both Angie and Madison are knocked up. Half the conversations on the show are about these kids and Opal seems to have nothing better to do than babysit everyone's plot point brat while they hook up to make more plot point brats. They should change the name of this show to All These Hillbillies.

ICAM, Pine Charles! Having characters regard other characters highly does not work when their actions almost always say otherwise.

But you've heard the writers' excuse, right? That they'd love to write other kinds of stories, but their bosses at the network(s) won't let them get too "controversial"?

Yeah, I don't buy that either.

Yes, because the pro-lifers / anti-birth control-ers would pitch a bitch. And as we all know, those are the ones solely keeping these shows on the air. [/sarcasm]

I worry there's another child on the way too: Jake and Cara's.

I read an interview with LH last week where she said that some secrets come out early on when Cara hits town but that the big secret won't be revealed until until much later.

Given how predictable and uncreative D&D are, I can't help but think that big secret is a kid.

As the age of people having their first child seems to get a little higher than in years past, soaps do not reflect this reality at all. Is there any character that has been on a soap for at least ten years that does not have a child? (Besides Greenlee I guess)

      Elliot is SOOOOO tasty in this period. He's so wicked. One of the reasons I stayed on with the show when I began watching.

      I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first intro to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.

      Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?

      On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.

      Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.

      Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes.
