I would not pay to see her today. 1980s or 1990s Madonna? Sure. Confessions Madonna? Maybe. But Madonna of today? Hell no. She is a shell of her former self... she is no longer a leader but a follower, and her habit of being 2+ hours late is unacceptable. I am sincerely hoping this is her farewell for touring, and possibly music altogether, because this just is not it. The set list has some highlights but, overall, it is a FAILURE. Especially relying on those shïtty remixes no one wants to hear.

For comparison: when I went to see P!nk in August, the show was a bit delayed, due to technical difficulties during Pat Benatar's set. As a result, P!nk came out a bit late and did cut two songs, but the show ran smoothly and was out at its expected time. THAT is how a professional is.

You are 100 percent right. I was A HUGE Madonna fan back in the day and paid to see her 2 months ago, which I still regret. It was an awful experience and she was MADLY late, people were pissed off while watching the show. It was hard not to laugh while she was barely walking in some parts of the show and then the positive reviews blew me away. She has 10 percent energy left and feels like she is doing it just to prove she can still walk on stage. But that is not the Madonna I want to remember. Also the sex and scandal part of the show is way too much and too cringey for words. I think I heard her moan more times than I've heard moaning in real life. It felt like Baby Jane was alive with Bette Davis on the stage at some parts... I wouldn't be so mad if she was not late though... She came after 10, when we should should have came after 8-30. Some people were so bored, they were eating sausages. 

P.S - Just couple of months ago, me and my husband went to see Mylene Farmer - a huge French star, which some say is the French Madonna. She is the same age... and is doing similar type of pop music... Let me say... Mylene Farmer was like a Goddess compared to what we saw from Madonna. That woman aged like fine wine and knew what was right to show and do on stage when she is 65. She came 20 minutes late, and not two hours late. And gave a pristine show. Sang live amazingly.

@SoapsudsI used to have Madonna's face on a complete wall all through while I was studying my bachelor in acting for dramatic theatre.

Madonna's eyes have seen so much stuff in that room.

It was this exact picture.

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks 
    • I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.
    • Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

    • And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.
    • IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline. 
    • Well, they were both involved with Ray Gardner.  Then, the actress left in 1980, only to return as a somewhat broader interpretation of the character after Dottie was SORASed.  By that time, Opal had left in 1983.  So, while they serve the same story function,(verbally abusive/neglectful mothers who make you feel sorry for their daughters), one could argue that Edna was the carbon copy.
