Members quartermainefan Posted December 16, 2013 Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 I am down to just one soap, GH but as far as that show goes: Favorite scene(s). Least favorite scene(s). Favorite Scene was Dr O rejecting the Anna mask, least favorite was so many Franco crap but I will go with during his blond period when he first arrived at the Q mansion and was obnoxious for reasons still not explained while Ava was draped on his arm/leaning on his shoulder Best/worst return(s). Best return was Anders Hove as Faison, and the worst return I guess I have to give it to Kristina Wagner because it has been so disappointing. I am not counting Kmc because her character was still technically part of the overall story or I would choose her easily Best/worst actor(s). Best actor I have to give as a tie to Finola Hughes and the woman who plays Dr O. Worst actor is Roger Howarth Best/worst new character(s). Best new character from 2013 is easily Ava. Worst is Kiki Best/worst recast(s). Best recast is whatshername who plays Lulu and worst is Roger Howarth Best/worst couple(s). Morgan and Ava are the best couple, and Carly and Franco are the worst Biggest surprise(s) of 2013. Stavros was alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted December 16, 2013 Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 Best Soap All My Children Worst Soap General Hospital Worst Return Franco, GH Best Actor Debbi Morgan Worst Actor Roger Howarth Best Recast Eric Nelsen/Denyse Tontz, AJ/Miranda, AMC Worst Recast Roger Howarth, Franco, GH; Laura Harrier, Destiny, OLTL Best Couple EJ/Sami, DAYS Worst Couple Maya/Rick, B&B Most Boring Couple Will/Sonny, DAYS Worst New Character Kiki, GH; Maya, B&B Best event Chandler Gala, AMC; Brady/Kristens wedding, DAYS Worst Event Nurses Ball, GH Biggest 2013 Surprise AMC/OLTL canceled again I pretty much fell out of watching soaps full time in the Summer with the exception of AMC which I could never miss. That arc was outstanding. I will miss my show so much. GH to me was dismantled by July and I was completely turned off by that pathetic, embarrassing Franco return. God knows Franco wasn't a well liked character before, but I personally became an obsessed James Franco fan in the process after watching more of his work, and admired the deep thought he & the producers put into his character on the show (I encourage anyone to watch the Francophrenia documentary which is fantastic. So much went into that spectacular event. I miss Jill). Of course Ron's ass came in and f-cked it all up! I'm APPALLED by the 180 this character has taken. Ugh. Let me stop. I miss B&B. That Time Warner Cable dispute really ruined my ability to watch! Couldn't even catch it online. When it was finally over, I couldn't go back to the eps I left off at. I just find it difficult to jump back into shows like that again without having physically seen what's been going on. It drives me nuts. But I have to at some point ;-p I know my Steffy's back! I did love his return! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted December 16, 2013 Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 Can we add a "Best Storyline of SON" category? Mine would have something to do with Darnell Williams, Debbi Morgan, and a certain Black Agnes Nixon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted December 16, 2013 Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 GH deserves best soap. It was so buzz worthy save for a pretty bad late spring and summer it ruled. Best actress: Eileen Davidson the queen of the year. She was a scorching hot phenom and if heather Tom wins another Emmy it's a travesty. Like heather but please this woman had been in the biz 32 years she deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beebs Posted December 16, 2013 Members Share Posted December 16, 2013 Best soap. DAYS - Easily...I am totally not biased Worst soap. Y&R - I wanted to like it this year, I really really tried but every time they did something I liked they followed it up by ruining it in the most predictable, awful way. Favorite scene(s). Gabi/Sami/Kate dumping Nick in the river. - That whole short week of episodes was great and proved what a fantastic team those three make. The aftermath has been great too. Nick, even "dead" is a wonderfully terrifying presence. I'm so glad he's sticking around, even in this context (for now). Least favorite scene(s). Any Dannifer love scene. Best/worst return(s). Not that I saw it but: BEST: Stavros (GH) - again, didn't really see much of it, but what little I did seemed kinda epic. WORST: Franco (GH) - YECCH. Best/worst actor(s). BEST: Eileen Davidson - Considering how impossible it is nowadays for a hyped-up actor return to actually be well worth the hype, it's even more amazing how Eileen's return to DAYS has been. Almost singlehandedly revitalizing a show that's had probably way too many second chances. Let's hope it doesn't take her another 14 years to come back! WORST: Drake Hogestyn - And part of what made her so amazing was the writers finally realizing that they're better off without the Fart-Sniffing Pawn...temporarily, anyway. Best/worst couple(s). BEST: Sami/EJ - The writing for these two, especially lately, has been electric! And I love that the drama is coming from a less campy, OTT place than in the past. It makes it all so much more intense and interesting. I'm loving it. WORST: Dannifer (duh) - I don't even think I need to explain this one. Biggest surprise(s) of 2013. AMC/OLTL coming back and going away again - it was nice that they got an extra season, and I hope this is a beginning for the big soaps on the web. I just feel like there needs to be new shows without the baggage of the past to really bring the genre back to life in a meaningful way. AMC definitely came closest to being the breakaway hit we needed (which is surprising since OLTL really seemed like it was going to be so much better at first. WTF HAPPENED??) but I think it's a great idea that's still stumbling towards eventual success. I'm glad these two shows at least got a season of relative quality after ABC and Frons' dismantling of them in years past, but more would have been nice. Moments, good or bad, that stuck out for you this year, either on the shows or behind the scenes. Jeanne Cooper's memorial episode was brilliant. I loved hearing the actors' stories of her. It really was beautiful to hear how loved she was on that show. What you most want to see on daytime in 2014. DAYS with a budget, and continuing the same strong storytelling they've been putting in this year. Also, an end to Dannifer once and for all. AND the blue room. Y&R to remember what show it is and govern itself accordingly. Being an ABC soap hasn't worked for ABC soaps since about 1994, so stop trying. No one wants that. B&B, I get it, history is cyclical. But it ain't THAT cyclical. Try something different. Also, it's amazing how heterosexual the fashion industry in LA is, no? GH is pleasing SOMEBODY. Not me, but...keep doing what you're doing. Evidently someone's happy. And I admit, even this crap is still more compelling than the 2000s endless SuperJason and the deification of reckless murderers in constant denial.

Members SouthOfSoap Posted December 18, 2013 Members Share Posted December 18, 2013 Best soap. Days of Our Lives (by default for me since it's the only one I watch everyday). Worst soap.Bold and Beautiful - I've seen these stories before except the characters were more interesting. Everytime I watch, it seems worse than the time before. Favorite scene(s). DAYS - When Kristen told John Black the way she viewed their history back in January - that set the tone for the year Least favorite scene(s) DAYS- Sami crying in jail all summer/Dannifer Best/worst return(s). None come to mind, oddly enough. Give me a week, and I'm sure the worst will be Ridge on B&B lol Best/worst actor(s). Best: Eileen Davidson - nuff said elsewhere, Worst: Darin Brooks - hated him on DAYS, hate him more on B&B Best/worst new character(s). Jeannie Theresa Donovan DAYS Best/worst recast(s). Worst: I want to say Thorsten Kaye, but that is kind of unfair as of today lol Best/worst couple(s). Best: Eric/Nicole (yeah I know not really a couple, but they are!!) Worst: Dannifer Biggest surprise(s) of 2013. DAYS being watchable the ENTIRE year - longest stretch since Brash/Cwikly in 2002!!! What you most want to see on daytime in 2014. DAYS - I want the show to dump soap cliches and tropes like flashbacks, fakeouts and people talking aloud to themselves where others could overhear. The writing is strong enough to not need this nonsense. B&B - I want Brad Bell to tell new stories and make the characters interesting/less one-dimensional. Y&R - I don't want anything from this show anymore! GH - I don't watch and this board makes an awful sales pitch to make me want to watch lol When do we see your selection?
