I thought DG was really hot when he first came on and poured that bucket of water all over his half naked body. Then he was shirtless in literally every other scene and they kept shoving it our faces how hot he was and it just had the opposite effect on me, he gets less hot every time I see him now. Nic Robuck is kind of adorable and reminds me of my 12 year old nephew for some reason. Have never, ever understood the appeal of Lenny Platt.

I think both Todds and Tomas are cute. Brody too, yummy. And Cristian, though with his airtime I've kind of forgotten what he looks like. I think you can all guess who I think the hottest guy on the show is. :lol:

This is sad. This is what some psycho fan actually sent to David Gregory and he put it up on his FB. People its not that serious. I did get a laugh out of it, I have to admit, but it is kinda pathetic

I can't imagine taking a soap so seriously to the point where I would send something like that to an actor. I hate Ford more than anyone else on the show but come on. I have nothing against DG and actually like him. That's just ridiculous.

Why in god name they give ford a family. I know it now to give him a pitiful backstory about his abuse childhood. The guy was perfectly fine as a freaking villain.

Well he should go to the porn industry

The writers are bigger fans of the Fords than viewers. At one point, I didn't have an opinion one way or another, but when they intertwined them legacy character and tried to make them noble, it was annoying. It never works when the producers try to push characters and families on soaps.

While I agree with sentiment I would never go that far, I'd just stop watching

I don't think anyone should send that stuff to actors but the show wants people to get upset. They revel in sick stories. Most viewers see this as a joke, but not everyone will have that reaction. When OLTL spends years telling story after story about how rapists are studs and the true victims, then I no longer have any idea what they want the audience to feel.

We interrupt our programming to bring you the news that Toups from SON turned into the Incredible Hulk after several posters forget to put tags in their spoilers. :lol:

LOL...don't give ABC any ideas.

That being said, I haven't been following this trial all that closely, but still think she is guilty and hope the jury agrees...

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.

It is very strange. They have insisted on having 30+ contract players for years now. If they had less cast, they could up everyone's episode guarantees, balance the cast out more. Like 20-25 would be perfect. Have everyone else recur.
If you look back at the history of the show, especially in the 1970s and in the 2010s, whenever the show was at it's most successful, it had smaller casts. Audience relate to the characters more, because they see more of them. In 2009 and 2013, the show had arguable it's most successful periods since the early 2000s (ratings wise that is). They had smaller casts and focused on 3 or 4 stories the whole year. That's what they should be doing at this point. Have a few umbrella stories, that last the whole year, and involve the whole cast. But again, before that, fix who we see on screen cause.....😬

I just wanted to add a thread where you can post classic commercials. Ones you like, find interesting, or feature soap actors.
This a quirky one from the early 70's. The actors look familiar. I like how the husband barely pays attention to her rambling about Oversauces.
A childhood holiday classic from 1986 featuring soap actor Greg Wrangler as Peter.
