Since I am more of a 90's girl, TG was always a little OTT cheesy.  He obviously got worse, but MB and TG are consistently rewarded for doing the bare minimum so they have no reason to change their style.   I will say I never thought TG didn't know his lines, which seems to be a constant problem for MB.   TG just likes to chew the entire set scenery.

I tried to watch a clip from a few months ago and beyond realizing Ingo has just about entirely lost his accent (I have not watched any Jax scenes in about a decade...), my other takeaway was Sonny calling himself Mike and wearing a poorly fitted cowboy hat. I couldn't make it through more than about 15 seconds of him. Maurice is just so awkward to watch at this point and on top of how cheap the show looks now, if you didn't know better you'd think it was some kind of non-actor making his debut in a very very low budget local production.

Ingo has definitely lost his accent pretty much.  When you hear how thick it was in 1996 it's crazy to notice the change.   I actually think MB as Mike is better than him as Sonny these days.  At least some of MB's charisma shines.  Sonny has become such a dour character I think it's an okay change.  I feel like GH looks like a million bucks compared to Days, but when you think of the fabulous location shoots they used to do it is sad.

In all fairness, it does seem a good idea for a MAGA nutbag to kind of want to erase any reminders that he is an immigrant himself. I am sure His Big Orange Daddy doesn't mind white immigrants as much but you know... Might want to make the fact that race is what is motivating his hatred slightly less obvious and hide his own contradictions.

Puerto Rico was the best by far.  I like some of the stuff in Montauk with Jason and Robin.  The Jax/Brenda Malibu house was amazing though.

OOf.  Again, I am not even sure if Ingo can vote.  I have no evidence he is even a citizen.   Full disclosure, I met him once in a non fan setting and he was super nice.   I can separate Jax outside of Ingo as a person, but I can understand if others don't.   It's a hard topic.

      We have 10000000 channels but broadcast channels still find a reason to preempt shows. Its should be an option either you want to watch breaking news or the scheduled programming.

      I agree with this. The fail is trying to make Joss some kind of heroine.

      Yeah I saw it and it's still idiotic. I like the Pope, but it's not interrupt shows newsworthy

      As someone who was watching OLTL at the time, Dano did excellent work, but the writing was weird. Dano even got Emmy nominated for what she did. However, it did feel that the writers did not know what to do with her, but to be fair, it did feel like a lot of that was that the character was a network mandate and the writers were making it up as they were going on. I didn't watch Dano's trek around all the soaps. That kind of thing would have worked better with an ABC performer not someone who had been off OLTL for decades. I can't imagine AW without Felicia Gallant. I really don't want to because she provided so much joy for me when there was so much disappointment on that show. The only time I thought her character didn't work was the John/Felicia storyline but it got Anna Holbrook an Emmy so I can't complain all that much. It's just another example of drama at the expense of character.

      Bringing this over from the soccer/soaps ratings thread yesterday:  Errol said: "CBS put out a notice that it could preempt at a moment's notice as the Pope selection continues, dependent on how long it takes, of course." New pope just chosen, name to be announced soon. Yeah CBS-NewYork channel 2 is airing Pope coverage instead of Y&R right now.

      @brisbydog - I like that you have a signature font, très chic Abe and Paulina's new apartment was the first thing I noticed.  I don't understand why people over a certain age in Salem automatically move into a condo? When it seems just as simple to make the set seem like a detached home.  But, I will give points to attention to detail of choosing colors that compliment the Black actors in the scene. Which then led to the second thing I noticed.  Why would EJ want Kayla's office, when his is 3xs the size?  Also, even if he buys the hospital, won't Kayla get to keep her office? Lastly, can we at least give Cat the agency to decide on her own with whom she wishes to date?  Do men actually need to negotiate on her behalf?  She's stunning.  My advice would be if Chad is friend-zoning her after a year together, move on to his richer brother.

      OH!!! I love it. I can't believe I missed that. In one of the 2 fan events held the 2 years after the sorry end of our lovely show, both  Anna Stuart & Stephen Schnetzer attended & I got to talk to each of them. Obviously I was in heaven. Although at least I didn't do my shy star struck thing.

      We probably won't get any of our CBS soaps today cause of the Pope stuff, cause you know they have to air it on regular network despite having 24/7 news channels
