To be fair, this type of self-parody is more OLTL's bag. They're hit or miss with it, a lot of groan-worthy stuff (usually from David), but then a good Mia Korf joke tickles (they've met their quota on those though). I think this sounds like a lot of fun.

The LAUGHNOWHAHA stuff usually ends up blurring lines - I think the ha ha stuff with gay marriage opponents is one of the reasons ABC yanked the story (although most likely that was going to go no matter what), and they also seemed on the verge of making jokes out of a stillbirth, a father giving his daughter ECT and trying to rape her, and then there was the comedy genius of a blind nun being stripped and tied up.

This sounds like simple fun, hopefully with some heart (if RC cares about writing that anymore - I haven't seen it in years). It's a nice way for OLTL to go out, and a nice exit for Bo too. I liked him best at Fraternity Row.

What!? Aside from the JR stuff, and the random Erica/Jack cliffhanger, everyone got some kind of happy ending or happy continuation. The final episode mainly centered on a party where we got engagements and pregnancy announcements galore and Joe/Ruth moving back to Pine Valley, etc. If that's not happy, then I don't know what is...

    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
    • I know that Secret Storm had moved back to the 4/3 PM timeslot in the final months on air, so it's possible that they were trying to employ new techniques/elements to lure the teen demographic.   If that episode was around November/December 1973, I do wonder if the owners (AHS) were still trying to shop the show to other networks still.. or if they had accepted that the show was going to officially go off the air in Feb 1974 at the time of this episode airing.
    • Jordan should have been killed or written out a decade ago.
    • Xander kidnapped her a few times when she was a baby I much prefer this bitchy version of Rafe to the dull one we have had for the past few years. Leo would get on my last nerve too and I would probably have snapped by now too. Loved Roman and Doug3. My favourite scenes today. Much better than his forced kindness to Ava. About time somebody pointed out Sophia is an adult any minute and can decide her own life. This is not Handmaid's Tale. I bet Mrs Choi snatches that baby though if Sophia signs it over to 'strangers'  
    • Hmm, well, I thought yesterday was "Dialog City" so at least IMO it was well done talk. Today I'm all about how harsh Dante just was to Gio & I get it that he's so scared but it's all coming out like anger - and judgment, harsh judgment. But, what they're doing is putting as much bad, troubling icky stuff between Dante & Gio as they can & it's a set-up. Good writing, acting, directing, tho. What's weird is I only recently realized that Lulu does not know it's Gio. However, I just had a thought. One day last week someone tried to kill Sonny & got killed. That wasn't words. That was action.
