WTF!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Here is a great holiday gift for soap fans: I’ve learned that Prospect Park has revived its plan to continue cancelled ABC daytime dramas All My Children and One Life To Live online. I hear the company behind USA hit Royal Pains has inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soaps’ production, eyed to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

This is nothing against you, Scotty, but I love how people are asking the guy who is doing that book (which I can't wait to read) for details on every casting call...

Oh I agree with you. It's almost as bad as when they continually hound the actors on FB and Twitter. Every time I look at any of their pages they are so full of that crap it's no wonder the actors would prefer to just say silent....lol.

Since I don't have a car nor do I have a drivers license I have no choice. It takes me from 3:25 to 4:45 to get home but if I had a car it would take less than 20 minutes. However, I do like going on the train!

Where is it that you live? I had a car a few years back and while it didn't take long to get home, traffic was a something rhyming with a mother and a sucker. And no, I'm not talking about Jeff Zucker aka: Mother Zucker aka: the Zucker.

I liked it when I took classes at the local community college in the next county over from mine, which is on Eastern Time. I could then drive the half hour back to my home, which is on Central Time and arrive before I had ever even left judging by clock. :lol:

You'll learn. It's a hard habit to break but once you get burned enough times, you'll stop. Trust.

I actually shoulda pointed out that I meant that rhetorically...

A plotline they really should do as some sweeps event at this point. Halloween II's empty hospital will never not creep me out.
I've always said KT is incapable of playing deep nuance or much earnest pathos and recent events have borne that out again.

I still remember the gloriously outspoken HBS letting that info out in an interview. IIRC Nora was at a funeral and she didn’t know who it was that died or why Nora was there. I know it has gotten even harder.
This is kind of a hybrid version of the way that most films work. But the problem is the volume of material and so many stories that they clearly often just cut out the little character bits and details to keep it pumping. And as I said, sometimes it’s more noticeable than others. And it’s a talent schedule thing. Which is also why sometimes they give the lines to a performer tangentially connected to a story because of a schedule issue and they go with who they have. Mostly supporting, not the lead part of the story.
As far as the directing credits go, I have no idea. I know that many of us speculated that several scriptwriters listed per day showed they had to credit from the several scripts they used, not sure what’s up with directing.
On to the actual show. I see a lot of complaints about Dante. He is very hard on Gio. But the son he raised just got charged with felonies and locked up, there was vital information they did not know, and he has the last trauma with his part in Michael going to prison. I also think this is pretty typical soap conflict behavior. Do people watching now really want all these characters to be perfect and never have conflict? For GH this part of the story is mostly about actual human feelings, although heightened for soaps. It’s how I feel about Drew too. We need conflict in this show! There was a several year period recently where everything was generic and genial and boring- I don’t want to go back to that.
And people can miss me with Britt defending. She’s up to her eyeballs in something shady and she isn’t capable of playing any layers that make it seem like her hand is truly forced. Yes her medication. But that scene with Emma was ridiculous because poor Britt.
Also- all those extras for a debate and voting booths, and the hospital is practically abandoned. There was more staff in the Haddonfield Clinic in Halloween 2 than GH these days.

Today on the The Young and the Recurring...
The opening credits featuring Lauralee, Beth, Tracey etc
It says something when the guest list was basically recurring players. To think that might be the last time we see Tricia. But she nailed it giving Cane what he deserved. Just wish she's go with a more flattering hair color-that dark brown is too harsh.
Patty/Gina still looks good.
Why was Diane there? A throwback to her and Cricket being Jabot models?
Phyllis was even more intolerable than usual-she just comes across as pathetic. And poor Billy Flynn looking like 'this isn't what I signed up for'
No Lucy-is the actress unavailable?

They want to send Blair to Dr. Jonas after her alleged "hysterical" pregnancy. God knows what bad advice he'll give her... 😅

ALL: Soap actors that also worked BTS on their shows

That’s awesome, because we know Slesar was very detailed in crafting his mysteries. I still think Edge of Night would be an excellent reboot. Right down to that early 80’s theme. Geraldine was a great soap grande dame.
Did she play a hooker? For some reason I remember an article bringing that up. I really should read more of that unpublished book.

I still don't know what the point of that was. It seemed like there was a very, very hard push to put Jordan and Chris Beetem over at the time, and then he and the entire storyline just vanished overnight.
I actually thought Jordan/CB was quite good but I wonder what happened there. Later I remember him making a public stink about his stupid role on OLTL, in a poorly-done storyline that unfortunately proved quite prescient for today (the One Pure People white supremacist group).

Are they really doing another flash-forward?? Come on.

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

This started at OLTL and got very noticeable in its last year or two. For a time I thought it was an ingenious approach to their budget situation, but eventually key stories or veterans would have stuff just going on in the margins every 3-5 weeks (like Viki, Charlie, Dorian and David basically doing light bedroom farce that went nowhere one summer) and it wore things down. It got worse at GH when Frank came here, particularly under Carlivati who had trained himself to work with FV's taping rhythm and the stories were very, very choppy. I'd argue it was even worse in 2014-15 than it is now, with us getting vague glimpses of backburner veteran storylines (Lucy/Duke, etc.) that were apparently going on without the audience.
He still does this and it has ebbs and flows, but it's definitely been all over the shop lately. I remember when they spoiled pairing up Martin and Tracy late last year/early this one in the mags (something I dreaded) and of course that's clearly no longer happening.

Have you seen the scene where Sonny and Carly battle it out and then fúck for the first time? There is a reason I was a fan of theirs real quick back in the day. (Online fandom in that era, on USENET etc. was notably repulsed when magazine spoilers about the hatesex came out early, but as soon as I saw their big scene I changed my tune.)
Tamara allegedly did almost replace Laura maybe eight years ago around contract renewal time, but that didn't happen and we got Kim Nero. I think you know that story. I like all 3, but I'd dump anyone for Sarah Brown.
