Shocking.  Not really.  There's no one even likeable on Y&R...and when I think back it's why I stopped watching in the early 90's.  There never really was anyone lovable on Y&R other than maybe Tracy.  There just never was.  B&B is the same.  You don't really love anyone on the show.  Victor will end up strutting around again, ordering everyone around or something or running the lives of his children, he'll continue to be an awful actor and some people watch, some people stop.  I stopped 15 years ago, came back part-time 5 years ago, and I've stopped again.  None of this surprises me.  It's not even about the writers - who everyone wants to blame.  They're awful - they really are awful -  but will someone just admit that Eric Braeden, Melody Thomas Scott, Thorsten Kay, Don Diamont...these people and I can keep naming them - are NOT GOOD ACTORS.  It's ridiculous.  Maybe you need to get away from it for awhile, come back and see it for what it is.  It's God Awful.  They need to be very very thankful they have jobs.  Because this is their only hope.  They won't work elsewhere.  Eric Braeden's accent gets worse and worse over the years - you look back to 1980 and it wasn't this thick.  Now you hear him and it's like he just got off an airplane or boat from Austria.  Horrible.

Yep a big reason why Sally is gone from YR. She had the lowest ratings of any head writer in 10 years. Shes been a complete total bore disaster. Pratt had 353000 more and at one point he was almost a million more. When Sally referenced the campy YR she was she referencing Pratt which got huge ratings. I am sure CBS talked to her about it. I hope Mal gives us great story. I think he needs a strong co exec producer. Why not Wendy Riche?

 

GH this is so awesome that Jean/Shelly as a duo are going out on a high note. Wait until u see what Shelly Altman will do its going to be awesome. The cast just loves her spirit.

 

DAYS at least it went up in ratings thank god the preemptions were gone. Hopefully when Ron has everyone comd back. I am liking the improvements. Marci Miller is the next Julianne Moore.

Rub your eyes in disbelief and question why you watched the whole thing

Mal might bring the show to modern touchs. Apparently Jamey said he pitched a 6 month story bible to CBS and they loved it. Its kind of nice we have a head writer who has a game plan and not just winging or making it up as they go along. Sally was a miserable failure. I just think Mal needs a co exec producer to assist him. Maria Bell actually produced her best stuff with Paul Rauch. When Rauch exited its when she went south.

      The Politics Thread

      Nina Turner ran one of one of the worst campaigns I‘ve ever seen in my life. She went into the race with a ton of name recognition and plenty of outside money. She started out trying to pass herself off as a sane, normal Democrat in TV ads but she couldn’t keep her crazy in check. Then came trash-talking Clyburn. Then came the Black clergy calling her out. Then came the ramped-up anti-Semitism. Then she flip-flopped and decided to lean into running AGAINST the Democratic party by bringing AOC and the whole Bernie circus to town. Look at her ads at the beginning of the race then look at her concession speech. At the end she was just a wild-eyed, spittle flecked, conspiracy-theorist blaming the Jews.

      Y&R August 2021 Discussion Thread

      Are they not recasting Chance? Because in one episode Abby goes from being mad at for Chance not being there, to bonding with Devon over their baby.

      DAYS: July 2021 Discussion Thread

      I am, as well. I had to give up on Y&R, and I've never regularly watched B&B or GH. I can't remember the last time I wasn't watching a soap... maybe in 2010-2012 when I couldn't tolerate Days, but I was checking out some of the others, if I recall. I'm not surprised at Camila's crap. She has kind of way too enthusiastically portrayed Gabby as a sociopath, to be honest.

      Peacock Orders DAYS Spinoff: Beyond Salem

      If they built up A/B/C stories then the story arcs/seasons would flow together but they barely do that now. DAYS was consistently good from June/July to August/September and then crap served the rest of the year. I could happily say goodbye to half the cast and only focus on the Evans/Black and Carver families and I would be happy but can't wait to see this new series.
