If it was me these are the people I would of had on: Susan(erica,amc),eric braden(victor, y&r), luke & laura(gh), debbie/darnell(amc), erika (vicki, oltl), reva (gl), stephanie(B&B), hope&bo (days). But of course it would of had to been a week long soap tribute.

Loved susan lying about plastic surgery. :lol: Now thats what I call a good laugh. I loved when she said she spent almost all her time with her onscreen husbands, and then I guess her real life husband must of had a problem with that, and she yelled "ALMOST" to him.lol Susan's house was fabulous, and great product placement throughout the house. :lol:

I was in total agreement when Michael said what happened to him (as in his looks), yes what has happened to your looks.

Oprah needs to to buy ABC daytime and fire Fronzie. :lol:

Love seeing Erica's husbands. I thought Jeremy married Erica. Guess not. It would be a hoot if all of Erica's ex's, even the dead ones were in a scene one last time with Erica. Please do not bring back Genie Francis to GH! She wants Laura to be funny and have some sort of an agenda, this would be so out of character.

Excellent show. Period.

Especially if you are a AMC fan.

Let's just get this out....Oprah has been a fan of AMC and there was no hiding that. Like many have said she could have done a whole hour of just AMC but she didn't.

Honestly, It's Oprah's decision on who she wants and who she doesn't want.

Whether you are a AMC fan or not you should enjoy the show. Especially when daytime is in trouble. This gives us the times to remember the good old days and even give us hope in the future.

But Oprah did an AMAZING job.

I just watched it and I thought it was wonderful. Yes, it had an AMC bias but it's Oprah's world and that's her soap but she was celebrating the genre as a whole. It was nice to hear Lucci and Francis acknowledge that the genre was built on the strength of the women. Unfortunately that message has fallen on deaf ears.

Just a note on the Darnell Williams/Oprah tongue bath. I get what he was saying. Daytime has treated its black audience and actors as utterly worthless and disposable so to see Oprah come from nothing to become, basically, the most powerful woman in media, yeah pretty amazing. Especially so, I imagine for an actor who was getting death threats 20 years ago because of his scenes with Kim Delaney. (And need we mention the Angie/Cliff Warner hatefest?)

To end: I miss the hell out of David Canary.

      Leslie's fantasy

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?

      Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates

      By DemetriKane · Posted

      Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      Please register in order to view this content

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene 

      Please register in order to view this content

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?

      But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
