Worst SOAPNET Promo EVER!!

I just watched the soapnet promo with the Cheetah! OMG! That is WHY soaps still have a stigma (and the reason why I refuse to watch soapnet unless it is like this GH marathon).

I would do promos for them for FREE if I had to!

I was reminded of some of the other Gems like:

Yes it's so stupid and I roll my eyes everytime they played it. so were they saying older women are automatically cougars even when they're not really

Those musical ones in 2010 gave me second hand embarrassment.

Soapnet had to be trolling with that Sonny and Jason one. Acting like those two are war vets!

That Jason/Sonny one has to be fake

It's not, they aired it back in the mid-00's.

Anyone remember the DAYS one centering around Drake Hogestyn and Kristian Alfonso lifting their brows? It was something about the "eye" and taking a swipe at the poor acting on DAYS during that time.

That Sonny/Jason one is definitely parodying Brokeback Mountain. It's funny.

I remember a couple of months ago there was a Jame's Bondesque promo for Y&R with Jack.

Brokeback Mobsters!!!

Yeah. SoapNet's promos are horrible.

I've actually never seen most of the infamous SN musical ones, because I didn't get SoapNet until the last couple years. That is truly awful, from concept to greenscreen to singing. I feel like someone should be brought up on human rights charges. It's a far cry from the Hulu promotional stuff, that's for sure.

...What lunatic let these run for over two minutes?!

Yes they were horrible. And there were quite a few of them. This is why people hate singing on soaps.

Y&R: November 2025 Discussion Thread

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... 😅

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).

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.

Jonas is back maybe a year later when the traumatized Cord returns. The Buchanans want him to consult on the sly and he proves no help.
I will always remember one of the last times they brought up Joe on the show, when Nash died in '08. He was about to kick off in the OR and everyone knew it, and they knew Jessica was pregnant. My first thought was the same as Viki's, which she said out loud: "He's never going to see that baby." Then she added, barely audible through Erika Slezak's sobs, "just like Joe." That stays with me, not just because of her wonderful work but because we were both thinking of Joe Riley and I was glad the show went there. Soaps can do that for decades.
