Recommended Posts

  • Members

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.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
