I'm still reading, but I paused to scratch my head......so your telling me that Geary is the reason they extended Sonny's horrible family??.....

pausing again....has MB always been this much of an Ass?

The Corinthos family suck! Carly and Sonny are beyond played out and all the kids are miscast and horribly dull characters with not one memorable storyline.

I'm sorry but I don't consider many of these families soap opera's 'royal' families. The Hortons? Yeah. The Forresters? Somewhat. The Newmans? In the 90s to mid 00s, maybe. 

 

When I think of soap royal families, I think of the Bauer clan, the Hughes clan, the Cory clan, the Matthews, etc. Not any of these dreadful families.

GH got it wrong. Their core families are The webbers, Hardys & Quartermaines

So apparently when characters are on way too much, it means they're part of a royal family.

 

Geary may have been trying to help out a colleague, which is admirable, but his encouragement helped lead to too many unfortunate hours of Sonny-centric television. That character should have been written as an outcast and killed off within a year or two tops; not have the whole show reworked with him at the center.

 

Also, apparently the Kristina storyline isn't over yet? I figured it went the way of Lulu's 1-week drinking problem and Patrick's 2-week drug addiction from a couple years back. Not that it's been riveting and something I need to see continue; I just thought it had been abandoned.

Same.

The whole article is worth it just to read Morrow's comments about the reliquary storyline.  I laughed just thinking about him saying Victoria can do what now?

Justin Hartley was pretty funny too.

The Forresters and the Newmans are most definitely royal families on their respective soaps, IMO.

Light gray text on an all-black background. Instant nausea. One day I may read an article in its entirety on that website.
