I guess we are all watching a show for different reasons. I have enjoyed a lot of bad soap over the years (Melaswen among others), but I knew that I liked it, I didn't call myself an invested soap critic missing Bill Bell's psychological drama and expecting it to be back the next day. We can discuss each soap and why we keep watching it even when we have hated it for years.

Many posters have been chased away from this forum because they had the nerve to say that they were enjoying the show they were watching, while the cool kids (who propably had "invested") were b*tching on a daily basis about a soap they claimed they hated, yet they knew every piece of dialogue by hard. I find this very interesting. What I don't find interesting at all are angry "soap investors" trying to scare me from a soap board smile.png

I'm glad for her, too. Pretty like that can get old fast on the streets. ;)

If this drives more people away, I apologize in advance, but:

- If Milo is going to continue to get airtime I wish he'd have some voice lessons for the lisp.

- I don't know if that's deliberate to show he's a sleazy character, but Scott being close to popping out of his suits is very distracting.

- Speaking of distracting, Laura's baggy, untucked shirts make her look like she's a few minutes away from teasing Luke with her own personal show of Leave your Hat On.

- Brenda was wearing an ironing board cover when she left town.

- Judging by that ugly red top with the torn arms, Felix must have given Sabrina some of his grandmother's disco fashions. Or his failed drag night entry.

- Every time Felix trips over his lines I want someone to spray water in his face.

- I'm all for avoiding fake tans, but ER's Lulu, like many younger women on this show, looks like a corpse.

- I liked the rape joke's blouse.

If he had any charisma, I probably wouldn't notice it as much.

There's a real lethargy in so much of the show. I'm always shocked at how flat and bored Geary and Shriner are...the only time that people seem to care is when they go hogwild and embarrass themselves (you know who I probably mean). I'm not a Carly fan nowadays but I will give Laura Wright credit for usually knowing just how far to go, and not phoning it in.

I really liked Carly's dress in the episode where Brenda left town. It reminded me of something you'd see at stores near reservations. The color was right for her and I liked the accents, or whatever you call them.

I think I misunderstood adelaide too. I think she meant she was told by someone she believes that the feedback has been positive. And maybe it has been. I never claimed to know what the general viewing audience likes or dislikes.

I really liked Carly's dress too when she first wore it 2 months ago, about 6 eppies ago (on GH). Carly is a very wealthy woman and her wardrobe needs some work. She used to dress to the nines! Repeating outfits is fine (jeans, top, etc), but that dress stands out and should not be worn often!

Geary and Shriner were trying to feed off of anyone else's energy as they both had none to offer their scenes. I am a champion of taking pride in anything you do and giving it your all, but I can't imagine these scripts are making many happy. There's really nothing to "act" for.

That's a general statement against SON and false! GH discussion is pretty much limited to the GH thread and may spill over to a related thread, depending on the topic, but believing Cartini are a very poor fit for GH is not associated with the SON board.

Cut the crap!

      B&B: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      I am truly at a loss for words about today's episode. I have no clue what they are trying to do or where this Luna story is going. I was literally dumbfounded.

      I'm inclined to agree with you and I loved her at Santa Barbara.

      I haven't watched DAYS in years, so I have some questions for anyone who can answer them. Is the show actually acknowledging that Jeremy abused Stephanie?  The things he did to her back in 2007 were reprehensible.  I wasn't watching too much when that was happening, but I seem to remember that the show (at the time) didn't outright label him an abusive partner and instead acted like he was just badly behaved or something like that.  Could someone who was watching back then tell me how they remember it?

      It also strangely happened while the story was airing. You had a gothic and spooky story that because it got eyeballs ended up being dragged out and turned into camp. Marlena starts talking to herself constantly with that voice, she’s strapped to the bed for a never ending exorcism, would almost die multiple times during the process, and then everyone would just leave her there with Caroline Brady sitting next to her holding a rosary. Reilly had the show so segregated that when Carrie found out what was happening in practically her next scene she was like I’m praying for Marlena. Now what are we going to do about Sami? I don’t know about anyone else, but I would probably stop my storyline for at least a couple of episodes and have to go see my stepmother that had a huge part in raising me floating around with those eyes in her beautiful penthouse. It was just so stupid, and when it started I didn’t necessarily agree with the story being told, but at least it was taken seriously.

      Yes, I feel the same way. I get the reasoning behind hiring him. He was playing a very similar character on RH, and they were in a pinch. I also found his accent very distracting. But then, Bev also didn't sound like she was from Illinois, and it didn't bother me a bit. That said, I've always had a great deal of sympathy for the situation he was in. It's never easy to take over from someone popular with fans, and how the TPTB were always insisting he was coming back eventually was another issue. Hearing he was going through it in his personal life on top of that makes me even more sympathetic. I found the article where it mentioned he had worked on both soaps at the same time. This was written a while after he left the show. Interesting that he was open to returning and that fans were asking him about when Alan was going to get out of jail. To this day, I don't understand why they kept Alan off the canvas as long as they did. He should have been there in the thick of Roger's return (without the dumb attempt to kill him), especially while he was married to Alex. To me, Raines was lacking in a lot of qualities needed for Alan. I think he would have been a better Mike Bauer.  They took five years to bring Alan back, I think they could have found someone better. I don't think anyone is irreplaceable. Anyone who took over the role would have been different from Bernau. But somewhere out there was an actor who would have had the suaveness, intensity, and charm that IMO the character needed.

      I did feel like JFP's Y&R was decent. Of all the recent HW/EP swaps, her period was very safe but watchable. Nothing spectacular but better than what we have now.

      I don’t watch B&B but I did know about Heather and forgot her. I really don’t know anything about Lawrence. Do people like his scripts?   Yes she did! And I know she did double duty too, even if Bell slowly phased Julia out while she wrote for the show.

      Well, you are the most ill-informed, condescending person on this board so I am glad you enjoy mocking me? Or whatever you are trying to do lol.  You literally can't comprehend the simplest things about the show and don't watch, but are literally shaming me for being a women?

      One other side note, because now I've re-read 1993-1994.  I think that I found a ret-con issue. In 1993 after John finds out that Stefano is Kristen's father. It is not like I am claiming to have found nuclear fission, clearly mistakes happen.  But, I found this to be amusing. In 1993, Stefano becomes deadly ill, so Kristen tells John that she needs to be by her father's side, but not to worry about the deadly disease, because she's adopted.  Given, that I've always thought of Kristen as being adopted, until the more recent cannon that she is Stefano's biological child, it is interesting that in 1993, the week before Tony comes to town to announce that he is Kristen's fiancée.  Kristen is saying that she can't give blood to her dying father, because she was adopted.  So, the current reverse in cannon, neglects that detail. It is so funny to read this and then see Kristen and Tony in the crypt this week, 32 years later.  That's more than half the show's history at this point, amazing.
