I saw that, too. I have to wonder if there really is this great divide between online fans and non-online fans, though. I mean, it's not like being online automatically changes your opinion. On the other hand, I know a lot of people who agree with this or that on message boards because they feel like they "have" to. IDK, it's complicated.

The Fords alone probably wouldn't have made me tune out. My main bone of contention with this show was that I realized that nearly all of the couples I loved in 2008-2009 were trashed by early 2010 and that most of the characters I loved were trashed or shown the door. I couldn't deal with that nonsense. Then to try to turn my head with Corbin Fisher and Frat Pad rejects running the show with their "daddy issues"....that sealed the deal. Had they kept Rachel around and wrote for her, Kyle and Oliver around and wrote for them, didn't ignore and trash Roxy, didn't trash Langston and Markko, didn't trash Charlie and Viki, didn't center the show on poor misunderstood Todd and his harem (which includes his daughters), didn't trash Cole, didn't trash Cris and Layla, and didn't desperately and transparently and basically shoe horn La Zimmer into the show in the form of Echo, I might have been able to deal with the Fords, but all of that added together? No. Way. In. Hell.

I have to say, before I was on the message boards, my perspective was different. Take GH for example. Yes, I was sick of the mob. But it wasn't until I saw all of these different opinions, ideas, and viewpoints that I really realized how bad it was. I think the non-onliners are in a state of "ignorance is bliss" in many cases.

Until you start talking to other soap viewers, you don't realize how much your opinions are true. At least in my case, I didn't start realizing my frustration with the genre till I discovered the boards, and started re-living the good ole days on Youtube. Talking to people who share your opinions puts things in a whole new perspective.

I've always thought that, and the proliferation of the internet fandom has in part led to the demise of soap opera as we know it.... not saying we online soap fans intentionally shot them down, but the gun was essentially put in our hands. I mean there is no denying the quality of soaps steadily declined the last 20 years.... but what online has provided is an avenue for EVERY SINGLE character action to be picked apart and analyzed 10 times over. Not saying that's a bad thing, but it definitely is not something that existed pre mid 1990's.

Not to mention that with the internet, spoilers come out so often. So now before EVERY story, all of us start judging it before it airs. And that puts us at a disadvantage, because many (not all) decide whether or not they will watch/like something before it even airs.

Cameron is probably a nice guy and made the right connections. The last time I liked him as Ryan was around 2001 or 2002, when he left AMC the first time. Since then he's had zero screen presence, and his face is very rough. I didn't notice until now just how rough it was even when he started at AMC.

I think he's more suited for hosting. I think Cam is a nice person who is very charsimatic and appealing as an individual. Ive always found Cameron the person much better than his portayal of Ryan Lavery, the character. He should have put acting on the backburner and pursued a hosting gig a long time ago. I can see him on like Extra or something

    • No to Andre/Ashley. I'm not sensing any connection. Kat is playing a dangerous game going against Silk Press Sheila.
    • Today was definite a good episode day with surprising 1:1 scenes between Bill/Silk Press Sheila & SPS/Kat.  And the final long scene between SPS/Kat with the close ups and cliffhanger reminds me so much of old school P & G/Bell soaps. It fits since Judy Tate (script writer) wrote for P & G soaps for years and Zimmerman (breakdown writer) worked on both Bell soaps. I even liked the Ashley/Derek scenes only because it feels as if there is a point to the scenes (lead up to a break up perhaps).  Andre/Ashley having a scene tells me that the show is still testing them out.. and I think showing the growing disconnect between Derek/Ashley will eventually lead to the two possibly dating. NuTed.. he seems more humble and less boastful/confident than the previous Ted.  Perhaps the show felt the previous Ted couldn't play remorse/humble.. and they made the switch.  Time will tell. Lastly... it was a Dani free day

    • Goulet also had an odd way of speaking - very clipped and brisk, like she had just gotten out of a '40s film. She sounded out of breath. She had this on all her soaps. She was a better actress than Tolan and did well enough with Mary's grief over her marriage in her final week or two in the part but had no real spark.  I agree they may have found a better Mary if they had tried harder. For some reason the recasting for the Ryan kids was never what it should have been. I don't know what was going on with Barbie Siobhan. Maybe that was ABC.
    • The finale peaked at 31.1 rating when Katherine hit Bobby with her car.
    • Exactly. And it's not like Stephanie didn't live a life when Hennig played her.  There are so many stories and relationships you can mine from her past.  And we just got......a book and sex with Alex or the random Bobby backstory which no one needed  I trust new writing can get the character back on track.  Like I said, I do think Abigail Klein has charisma.
    • Today (Thurs May 15) eppy not on paramount *menu* but it's on cbs.com. If you take the cbs episode URL and substituted paramountplus for cbs in the same URL, you get the episode on pplus https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/ https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/
    • Really good episode today. Even the characters who usually annoy me, like Chase and Brook Lynn, got some sweet scenes. I also appreciate that they're finally giving Lucky more to do, letting him in on Ric & Ava's blackmail scheme. And those Liz and Lucas scenes were fantastic;  Van Hansis has been bringing such playfulness to the role of Lucas, he brings out the best in scene partners like Laura Wright and Becky Herbst. It was also nice to get Liz's perspective on why her romantic rapprochment with Lucky is moving so slow; it makes perfect sense that she thinks he's not really capable of settling down, even if he wants to be with her. 
    • I thought Keith did great as well. His scene with Colby was what sold me. He displayed the emotions that a man who knows he's made a mistake and wants to rectify should have. Its funny how Maurice has been given passes in his acting that other actors have not. What Keith has shown me is that he can atleast keep up with the ladies in his story instead of them acting circles around him when Maurice was playing the role.      
    • Also Murder, She Wrote season 3 finale was the week before.
