cute :wub:

It makes me cry every single time I watch it.

I've never like Mario Bartali and of course he wouldn't want soap fans. I'm sure he thinks his show will bring only upstanding respactable viewers and not riff raff like common soap viewers.

His show with Gwyneth (yes I can't stand that b*tch) was excruciatingly painful and I wanted some natives to kich him and Gwyneth where it hurts.

I'll admit that I have felt that too, and he says it just like an actor friend of mine who is also a phoney pretty boy narcissist would say it. :lol: I think I'm mostly jealous though. :ph34r: I love her more than Shemar! :lol:

Honestly, I don't want the shows to be saved in any way if nothing is going to change at ABC Daytime or ABC as a whole. A few more months to wrap things up would be nice, but an indefinite amount of time stuck back in Fronsian and Sweeneyan hell? No thanks.

:( Beautiful words from a great lady.

Do you hear the announcer at the actual awards, or is that something home viewers hear more of than actual audience members? I would've crapped my pants if I heard the voice of God booming, "Susan Lucci originated the role of ERICA KANE on All My Children......" at me.

Is it sad that I know all of the actresses' clips by heart? Especially "I will rant and rave, I will scream, I will SING! I WILL SING!!!"

I don't know if you've ever been, but they let us plebeians in first and it's really a *moment* when they open the doors up front and the stars start shuffling in. It's got to be so weird for them to have people STARING at them watching their every move. If Susan had picked her nose, I would have caught it. I remember seeing Eileen Herlie on someone's arm being helped in, and Linda friggin' Dano flitting around like the social butterfly that she is saying hello to SO many people. She is the only person I saw doing that. This was the year AW had been cancelled. At the end of the night there were a lot of stars milling about. Once we were in the lobby we all turned around as WHOOOSH Susan and Helmet rushed by just swarmed with reporters.

You do hear the announcer but it's not as clear and echoey. Dick Clark was running the show and he'd get on the God mic and talk during the commercial breaks. For instance, at one break he said, "We've got something special coming up for you and we're going to ask that you help us out with some sustained applause..." This turned out to be the segment where they had all of the past best actor and actress winners up on stage.

Even though it's nice that they are in LA, they've missed out on pilot season, and just this month, many of the pilots just finished recasting their shows. ABC is a corporation, but they made this decision months ago, so they should have given the actors the opportunity to audition for new shows, and given the producers enough time to wrap up their shows.

I agree. Frons had to know that AMC was in jeopardy too, and, to his credit, he tried a few things to try and save it. I was just thinking about how dumb JHC must be to continue to bring the show in over budge, when she had to realize how serious the situation was. As far as Frons goes, he what does it say about him that he knew that OLTL was in trouble too, but he didn't do anything to try and save it. Some might think it was more salvageable than AMC, but in Fron's defense, I don't think that was clear until this year, and I think the decision about OLTL happened at least two years ago, or at least at the time that One Life's producer and headwriter were given contract extensions.

Erica Kane retire? Not on your life! LOL!

For Erica, it's always been her elusive search for a father figure, someone to tell her she was "enough." Sadly, she'll never have that.

Exactly. I feel like all this "Erica Kane dies"/"Erica Kane retires"/"Erica Kane bakes cookies for her grandchildren and tells warm stories about her days growing up on the farm" stuff is coming from how we all thought the P&G soaps should have ended. It's been a mighty long time since a long-running non-P&G soap has been canceled (besides Passions). AMC and OLTL can afford to be a little flashy and hip at the end.

I would have loved it if Erica wasn't kidnapped from St. Bart's but left on her own accord, in order to do some soul searching, only to return to Pine Valley sure of herself and ready to face the world on a brand new day with a brand new state of mind.

    • I would DIE if Shanice’s mom lived beyond the gates and was just as messy I loved her so much. Give. Me. More. Absolutely loved this scene. Looking forward to more bonding between them. She is such a find. If her agents are smart, they’re booking her on bigger things as soon as possible. I want to see her blow up. She is THAT good to me. Ambyr and Trisha are the stars of this show for me and why I watch. Bingo. This show actually feeling like a soap that moves has made it so hard for me to watch the others anymore. I love you Thank god you said this. I wish we’d stop taking the bait but this needed to be said. White male leads cheat ALLLLLLLL the time. But this poster seems to think omg two black men that cheated decades apart are about to set us back somehow. I’m about to add them to the ignore list with Donna, I’m sick of the baiting. This was perfectly stated. Preach my friend, preach. As for yesterday’s episode I loved it. The show is handling the fall out from the Eva reveal so damn well for me. And I LOVED that Ted final scene holding Eva’s hand. I guess I’m in the minority since the recast announcement was made but I will miss Maurice and his chemistry with all of his costars as Ted and really wish he could’ve played the entire fall out of the story.
    • I would love to see it as part of a backlot shopping district where characters can bump into one another in a more natural way. Lately there has too much getting up and leaving then coming back during meals at Orphey's and Uptown. It's becoming a distraction. There could be shops, more restaurants and a coworking space. All of the "you will never be a Dupree" lines definitely are pointing to this. This is one of my favorite stories. I love stories about show business and MVJ has a background in the music industry so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. Anita instigated the breakup - we have already seen her mean streak come out with Hannah and Eva. I expect one member (she called Sharon today) to be holding a grudge and another member (Tracy) to be somewhat bitter but more open to the idea of a tour, playing the role of peacemaker between Anita and Sharon. Maybe Sharon will pull a Mary Wilson and write tell-all about Anita.

    • I would have been more impressed if it hadn't been built on a con (Sonny's meds already being used to make sure he would be exonerated later on). The show has been doing this dance with Sonny since the mid '90s, including Mulcahey's previous stint. I almost prefer them just being honest, as Laura doesn't have a great deal of integrity to lose anyway. The problem is Sonny is just completely spent as a character. If he wasn't, we wouldn't have to see this comment from Laura again and again. He would actually be doing something on the canvas. Instead, he's written like he's already dead. If only.
    • It seems like Steve actually enjoys scenes with Jane.  I really think Steve has just mellowed out in general and is more open to doing what is asked.  He's not 30 anymore so he's probably just happy to keep getting work especially after the whole Covid situation. If he ended up with Brenda I wouldn't complain either lol. You probably won't get that 10% out of me, but I may consider if you drop the Jordan love haha!
    • I'm sticking to my theory that June is Hayley's sister (maybe a cousin since this show showcases cousins). Hayley really needs someone else to interact with because her being isolated to just Bill is not working. Eva only seems to have a backbone when it comes to Kat. She had no problem rubbing it in her face that they are sisters. Sharon hanging up on Anita was a good little nudge for that storyline. At least one of them having a name is promising to them actually showing up.
    • Reviewing the 1985/86 sophomore slaughtering and sophomore surprise. The Cosby Show 23 of 25 episodes finished #1 in their original broadcast, one episode finished 2nd, and one episode finished 3rd. Murder, She Wrote 18 of 22 episodes were the highest-rated drama in their original broadcast and 19 of 22 episodes were CBS's highest-rated scripted series in their original broadcast.
    • I really enjoy Tracy and Jason together as well in scenes. I’m a sucker for the surviving older Quartermaines, it’s just crazy that it took this long for a producer to tell Steve Burton we don’t care what you want, you’re a Quartermaine, get the [!@#$%^&*] over it. Murders actually solved in Port Charles? Hell no. The people in town don’t care so we’re not supposed to. God if they did this to usher Sonny off it would be the best episode of GH I’ve ever seen. I’d never complain again. I will never stop trying to get that 10% out of you It was so so good. There was so much promise. New old writers came back in and immediately said f.uck that, Sonny is a hero. You are not alone when it comes to Harper as Jordan. It’s a lonely island of 2 but you’re not alone. I enjoy her and especially with the new doctor.   Most of his time on this damn show has just been him in a hospital bed over a football injury we never even saw happen .
    • The casting of Reginald seemed to have been part of the reason for a lack of exploration of vulnerability in the character. I know Mary talked about not liking the change in Reg, but her disappointment was rarely explored once she left him.  For example, did she ever question if Reg was conning her in Paraguay, or was the Bay City version of Reg real? Imagine running a philanthropic center in Paraguay, and then becoming a social worker in Bay City?  It must have been so frustrating to once be able to provide anything that anyone needed, and now having to rely on government funded programs. And lastly, she went from a house full of servants, to living over a restaurant.  We were supposed to believe that she was so blinded by her love for Vince and the kids, that she never longed for her life when someone else washed her lingerie?
    • This was an excellent "filler" episode but I'd prefer to refer to it as a character building episode. I love that BTG is paced in a way that they can have episodes like this as opposed to the repetitive nature of the other soaps which don't leave room for this. The highlight for me was Eva with Martin's family. They've talked so much about her doing hair and I was so excited to finally get to see that in action. I thought the tension with Samantha was nice since she is a Dupree woman. I also love that Martin is trying to help Eva feel welcomed. I struggled a bit with Martin but he really shines when put across Eva, Kat and his grandparents. He definitely gets my vote for most improved. I also loved the scenes with Dani, Nicole and Andre. I love that Nicole clocked them so easily lol. I know many haven't enjoyed how Dani has acted since the Ted/Eva reveal but I find it so heartwarming watching her with Nicole. They clearly have a deep love for each other despite their differences and I love that Dani still tries even though her approach isn't always great and her whole life is a mess. Nicole/Dani is another one of the star pairs on the show. Anita and Vernon's scenes were excellent and the more I see of this story, the more I can't wait for the Articulettes to show up. I wonder if they've already been quietly cast and are filming. Not that I'm complaining, but the set is like Fort Knox so we really have no clue what is going on there. I can only hope we will see them soon. I also must say, Tamara Tunie looked stunning today.  The Jacob/Naomi scenes were another highlight. I like the working class vibe they give to the show. I'm also becoming intrigued about June and want to know more about how she ended up on the streets and who she's connected to. I hope it's Haley because she's in dire need of some backstory and development. The weak point of the episode were the Bill and Haley scenes. How are you going to have them having sex on his desk and we couldn't see a little bra or shirtless action from Bill? That was tired and a waste of time. They need to work on integrating them more with the rest of the canvas. I do not care about them anymore.
