So good to read positive reviews of the new writers. Just shows what a difference a better quality team can make. No campy stuff/inside jokes/OTT stories. Just good character based writing. I'm sure the actors are happier. Hopefully Y&R will get some newbies who can perform a similar transformation. -

I had lunch with a friend who works in the beauty/wellness field. She had just attended a big pow wow in NY with brands big(Estee Lauder,Unilever etc) and smaller players. The talk was how social media and now AI are shaking things up like never before. Meanwhile Y&R are treating Jabot/Vibrante like it's still the 80's. -

Hey Always AMC -- am I to assume you enjoy times of colossal stupidity on soaps? If so, you might find yourself thrilled with GL for the rest of 1996. Lots of trains jumping the tracks. Off cliffs, even. Do keep an eye on Cindy Watros. She and Annie get increasingly interesting. Cindy steps on the damn gas pedal to notable effect. IMO, Annie's the only real reason to watch GL from mid 1996 through 1997. The rest is garbage. -

Interesting segment about the French Wheel of Fortune (which just came back after a 13 year hiatus) and Des chiffres et des lettres (which just ended last year). Starts at about 7 minutes.Please register in order to view this content

When GL was announced as ending, Jeanne Cooper and Cris wanted to do small cameos. They appeared in one of the final episodes for a scene or two as guests at Vanessa and Billy's wedding - Jeanne was an old rich lady and Cris was her toyboy. Thanks @Soapsuds I am not sure I've ever seen that before. Always nice to see (presumably) gay men interviewed as fans as they were often the dirty little secret of soap fandom. And I think that clip with Bert and Papa Bauer may be from one of the episodes that isn't around anywhere. I'd like to think it can appear someday. I guess that was Kristi auditioning for Jessie? Who was it people said she auditioned for and they gave her another part? Or was it they decided not to bring that character in and later brought Jessie instead?

Who did he play on GL? He was on ATWT during the 80s, but I don't recall him being on GL. -
5-21 Background music, but still holding some interest. Outside of seeing Grace...and shirtless Finn and Carter...I couldn't care less about the Liam Dying storyline still. And now they brought in the possibility of a Sophie's Choice? Yeeeah no. Okay, I guess another good thing about the Liam Dying storyline has been the plot point of Carter giving Daphne a chance. And now that Hope is back at Forrester and told him what is happening with Liam...uh oh. I cannot believe Steffy and Hope are getting along. And...STFU RIDGE!! God, I so dislike him talking down to Hope. -
Tina Sloan held on for a lot of years (imo) just on the fact she was Beth's mom. (Beth was off canvas for two stretches, like 2-3 years and maybe five years the second time) Beth seemed to fill the traditional ingenue heroine space that had been Hope Bauer's. It's hard to even think of another pure heroine that grabbed the audience--maybe Morgan Richards between Hope and Beth---until Michelle grew up a decade later. She also seemed to be the only regular nurse the show had for most of the last 20 plus years of the show. Beth does return, eventually. The "My Guiding Light" theme lives rent free in my head. It's a lot easier to hum than ATWT's of the same era (which is da-da-dee-dum...da da daaa--ah" and a spinning globe).
