Members Juliajms Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 Me too. I really miss having her on a soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 One of my pet-peeves as a viewer -- and this is true not just with soaps but with television across the board -- is watching people watching television (I'm looking at you, Ron Carlivati). Or staring at computer screens (you, too, Lifetime movies). Or talking or texting on cellphones. All those things are Not. Dramatic. And I'm also not fond of people walking around with coffee cups in their hands. But that's another subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'm a translator and I used to translate a show -- it was a Turkish novela -- where 90% of the scenes were people talking over their cellphones. So dumb. Why the coffee cups pet peeve? I'm curious (and at the same time worried I'll pick up the same pet peeve once you have explained it lol ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 Why the coffee cup pet peeve? IDK. I guess I see it as the shows' way of saying, "Ooooh, look how trendy we are," because, according to SOME body in the industry, drinking copious amount of java is the latest thing. Plus, I feel like it's a crutch for actors who have no clue what else to do with their hands. Good God, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Aren't those coffee cups and coffee mugs empty? Older sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 That's another thing: they're empty, and they're clearly empty, and the actors hardly ever know how to make it appear as if they aren't empty. They might as well carry around stuffed teddy bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Teddy bears. That made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sally Sussman sure is laying it thick with Ravi. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Over the last couple of days, things seem to be moving. Finally. Where has Hilary been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Please register in order to view this content The show is still about nothing..... Ashley and Ravi kiss....eh......I doubt people were glued to their TV sets waiting for that...... Ravi's little lecture today was so bad. Lawd you'd think Ravi was Jesus Christ himself the way Sally Sussman is writing him. Billy and Phyliss...eh...I dont see anything great about them either....I saw more chemistry with Billy and Cane the other day and their little hissy fit they had. The show isn't moving..its still the boring mess drivel it's been since Sally took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 I still like it, but that must be because I'm over 50. I didn't watch it for about 5 years when Amber came on (I hated her) and I also missed when Adam arrived. I came back when they cancelled the ABC soaps.

Members ajsp35801 Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sidelined in favor of Mariah. I remain unmoved. And just as I suspected, the rewriting of Scott continues. So now he's not a journalist but some agent/spy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 They've decided him being a journalist isn't exciting enough. Can't wait until him and his sidekick (whoever she is, cause it ain't gonna be Sharon) start saving the world together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
