Our lovely Margaret, will she stay sane or will we be able to enjoy her playful ways again? Love that reminder of why we need TS, what a wonderful actress..MarlandRulez thanks for the memories.

Unfortunately, our dear Tari Signor has never been handed a contract. She's been on recurring status ever since she joined the show in 2004, but has appeared in more episodes than some contract players recently have (such as Lindsay, RJ, and Nora). I wish she would have been a final nomination, but she only has a pre-nom.

Speaking of Tari, she's been doing such a great job these past few days. She really makes us see how confused and scared Margaret is!!

Of those 3 you mentioned only RJ & Nora have contracts. Lindsey has not had a contract in a long time. And it looks like RJ will be losing his soon. And I definitely don't expect Nora to have her's much longer either. SHe hasn't even appeared since April.

I think Tari is a great actress but unfortunately her getting a contract on OLTL is not too likely to happen. There are way too many crimes she has to pay for. And she should go away for a long time or be sent to a mental institution.

Higley is going to want to reform Spencer because he is her creation and she will sacrifice Margaret to do so. It would be too much to reform 2 bad guys on the same show at about the same time.

SHe has kept the Margaret character around for one purpose - to further her love for the character of Spencer. Sorry but it is the truth.

Maybe that's the way it is now, but if anything, she should be sacrificing Spencer for Margaret. I think Margaret makes a better villain than him. Plus, when Higley first started the Mags/Todd/Blair stuff, Spencer wasn't even around. Oh, this is an interesting question for you since you don't like either of them. If one character had to be handed a five year contract, which would you choose-- Margaret or Spencer?

It would have to be Margaret who I liked last year. I never have liked Spencer at all. But as I said he is Higley's baby and she is not going to get rid of him. She is too protective of her babies. Notice all the talk of Tess.

I love Tari and I do hope she gets another role on another show. The Margaret character has just done too much and it is time for her to pay and the story to wind down and time to move on to other things. Sorry.

    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011.
