Yeah, that's why I think actors need to cut out the whole "write, call, protest, boycott - it will save the soaps" nonsense. No it really won't and they know it. It will probably just piss TPTB off more and cause them to make the end of whatever show it is that you watch that much more miserable. I understand wanting to do something and disliking the feeling of being powerless, but really......

I disagree. I'd switch out OLTL for DAYS. DAYS fans have that "last show standing/today is a good day to die" desperation that makes them fight like chained slaves but the persecution complex that OLTL fans have translates into a form of viciousness that makes Lord of the Flies look like a Buddhist children's retreat.

She's not Eleanora Duse, but I think she does what she does very well and is consistently underappreciated for it. She's helped carry that show on her back for years, and she did it so much it took me a long time to realize how deep that went, much like with Bob Woods. I understand why some people can't stand Blair, but I think she's become indispensable as part of the fabric of the current show, unless they wrote out Todd and her children with her. There would be a huge void without her, or Bo, or Dorian, etc. And I think OLTL both understands this and takes it for granted because it's become so "ordinary." I think she's also grown tremendously as a performer since coming to the show.

You caught me. It may be a silly argument to make, and I am not saying Kassie DePaiva is talentless, but I think it does demonstrate people within the industry don't see her as a powerhouse. That's all I am sayin'. Besides, saying she's one of the best actress on OLTL really is not saying all that much... outside Erika and Robin.... its pretty light.

Yep. The EJamis will probably crash the NBC website and phone lines.

Speaking of Days has it been mentioned that someone tweeted Molly Burnett (Melanie) about how upset they were over AMC's cancellation and her response was "guess you gotta switch to Days". What a dumbass.

    • WOW! So that episode was a repeat, it shows how strong Murder, She Wrote was!!
    • Awesome Yep, you can hook up a VHS player to a smart TV. Alternatively, Amazon sells some VHS to Digital converters that you can use to directly connect the VCR's AV cables  to a USB on a laptop or PC. They cost about 20 bucks. Any questions or need help, DM me!
    • -- "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by...." I love that throwback to soaps from yesteryear. I know we don't want BTG to be our grandmother's soap, but sometimes Grandma's soaps had it right. -- I was FULLY prepared to dislike Keith D. Robinson as Ted, and I even went through things in my mind that I could say because I was fine with Maurice Johnson and felt bad for him.     However, Robinson was awfully good, especially for Day 1. He's a different Ted, but he's a good actor -- natural and real. People saying Gates "should have gone older" are head-scratchers since Robinson is older than Johnson. -- I expected Bill to be tougher than he was with Dana, THE worst mother of the year on soaps. -- Kat went toe-to-toe in those scenes with Dana. We're all in love with Ambyr/Eva, but Colby/Kat is also killing it. -- Derek and Ashley? I'm turning on Ashley, who can't even pretend to like Derek, let alone love him. Her annoyance with him is overboard, and I'm also annoyed with the show portraying Derek as a Neanderthal -- to the point of putting "Neanderthal" in his dialogue. Every single thing he does annoys Ashley, which makes me wonder what she ever saw in him. I want him away from her. -- Seeing Derek and Ashley in that bed was hilarious. It looks like a single, not something for two grown adults. -- Ashley and Andre are still a no for me -- a big no. I see no reason why he'd be infatuated with her. None. At least Andre got a smile from her, which she didn't have for Derek, even when he wanted them to get a bigger place. Derek, please dodge the bullet.
    •   I LOVED Hennig’s Stephanie. AK is Stephanie in name only. Stephanie was never boring to me.
    • July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.
    • I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.
    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
