Forget the fact that I've wanted to write for these godforsaken shows since I was in elementary school. Hundreds, no, thousands of fans out there are giving their proverbial right eyes for a shot to write just one script for a soap opera, and some punk college kids who probably don't know a soap from the holes in their asses (or worse, who regard PASSIONS as the industry's gold standard) are handed the opportunity because they won a writing contest (no doubt, for something they wrote while they were high)? Give me a [!@#$%^&*] break.

I knocked on doors, I wrote letters, I talked to people, I even took a crappy intern job once, just to meet someone -- anyone -- who could help me. Hell, I even was willing to suck dick to write for daytime. I see now, though, I shouldn't even bother with Vee's advice and send a resume out to PP. Apparently, nothing I do ever will be enough.

AFAIC, the camel's back is broken, and so is his neck and everything else. I hope these shows fail, creatively and financially. And I hope their failure reduces Miss So-Called Queen of the Soaps to a mass of WASP-y blubber. She, and the rest of daytime, deserve nothing less.

Ok the filming does seem to be in descending time order so we can figure out storylines a bit. I think these times are right but don't quote me.

Cassandra is first with Susan, Tia, Uri and Vlad, looks like at 8 am

Celia, Pete and Colby are at 8:30 am

Joe, Dixie and Cara are at 8:45 am

Lea (Paula Garces), Zach and maybe "Robert" (who doesn't have an actor listed) are at 9 am

Patrick Lane as Bellman (maybe?) at 9:15

AJ, Miranda and JR are on the second page at 2:45

    • Natalia worrying about her dress getting dirty during her DUI arrest had to be a reference to Haley Pullos and the $400 shirt.   The birth scene was really good. It could have been OTT but wasn't. There was this great moment was Michael was talking about how he's seen every sonogram and been with her all the way where it registered with Willow that he's been extremely involved with this and she had no idea but then couldn't say anything because she's obviously cheating too. And then they acknowledged each other and he actually thanked her. It was very humanizing for both characters.
    • This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential 
    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
