Re the ejami rape: it doesn't really matter if you think it was or wasn't a rape because both characters have calld it such and the show addressed it as such. That has not been undone. He raped her.

Now the disgusting, vile and quite frankly dangerous view that rape is only via holding someone down while they scream is disturbing to say the least. And yes, that is basically what you are saying.

On to the show... Kate/Sami is gold. Always. AS/LK play so well off each other. Really liking this story beat and curious to see where it goes.

I like Daniel and Nicole. As friends, as friends with benefits.

The thanksgiving stuff was cute.

Woah! Did not expect the ending. I'm going to assume he's going to get swept away by river and everyone will think he's dead, but he won't be (I hope). Then Nick can come back seeking revenge on Sami and Kate. I now have some hope that Nick will become the show's new villain. Since he doesn't have the money and power that Victor, Stefano, EJ do, he can be one of those villains who just uses his intelligence to manipulate people.

Oh great, there we go with Mama Mumbles blathering and waving her fingers at Victor. Girl, bye

LMAO at how Sami was going in on Gabi and not believing her.

Kate brings up Bernardi and Sami and say that this situation is the same thing. So with that, what does Sami do? Proceed to cover it up and plans on lying to the cops. Wasn't what nearly landed her on death row a couple of months ago? She hasn't learned her lessonit seems

No that's not true. The people that say EJ didn't rape Sami acknowledge that Kristen raped Eric and he wasn't exactly pinned down and screaming now.

Thank you :)

We also acknowledge Sami raped Austin and that wasn't violent either. Unfortunately, too many of the current "writers' are trying to create the next Luke and Laura and each attempt is worse than the one before it. What's really disturbing? Trying to sell a character who would ask for sex in exchange for his help in saving a man's life as a romantic lead and the sick bitch who loves him! I mean how depraved is EJ? Really? There are love stories, and then there is just filth!

I think anther important point is that in a court of law, could Sami ever make a valid case? I think not. She consented. She wasn't drugged or forced. EJ made no threats on her or Lucas if they didn't have sex. He would have left her alone and went about his business. I can't see how she could have pressed charges and had him prosecuted based on that. At no point was she forced to have sex or had her choice about the matter taken away from her. Any judge would throw this case out of court if it were ever pursued bc there isn't much there. EJ being scum doesn't make him a rapist.

Let's take "rape" that could be prosecuted out of the equation. The sick part is that soap writers/executives then create a LOVE story out of this. As you said, he's scum and what woman in her right mind would fall in love with someone who did that to her? And why would the audience cheer for that? Turn the tables and would we really cheer for Kristen/Eric? Despite the insane heat between ED/GV? Absolutely not. On ATWT, did Jack fall in love with Julia again after she raped him? No way. If they wanted to keep James Scott, they could've paired him with any number of women and created a viable love story because he is a good actor, but whatever. It's just funny how "men" get a free pass on rape/seduction, but if a woman does the same thing, lord help us. (They are both wrong.)

Unfortunately, Daytime has been polluted with rapemances for years, so that is not really my challenge here. My problem with this particular "romance" is that in this woman's moment of crisis, EJ asks for sex in exchange for help. That is absolutely sick, and I would never be able to forget that if I were a woman. EJ is not getting a free pass. He's scum! That's been established.

But in all honesty, I don't get how anyone, man or woman, can get with anyone who violates them, but that's been Daytime for the past 30 years, so who am I to judge? But I stand by what I said initially, EJ and Sami had an agreement... Sorry for anyone who does not like it!

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.

      Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

      I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.

      But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood.
