Members amybrickwallace Posted December 10, 2017 Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 The Best & Worst of the Year SODs were the issues I looked forward to the most every year. That is, when 8-10 soaps were still on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 10, 2017 Members Share Posted December 10, 2017 Same here, but around 2005 or so some of their choices started to become as rotten and strange as some of Michael Logan's oddball picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted December 11, 2017 Members Share Posted December 11, 2017 Is Soap Opera Digest still even relevant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted December 11, 2017 Members Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm gonna be honest ... does SOD even need to do a Best & Worst anymore? B/c it is all horrid to me. DOOL was the most solid this year, but I still don't find it to be great, captivating TV that compels me to watch in real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted December 11, 2017 Members Share Posted December 11, 2017 The only thing B&B did well was completely surprise us with Deacon & SheDevil while all the focus was on H8ie. But that was it as has been universally stated. KB has been wasted and B&B has been so awful, I even stopped reading dailies last month to keep up. I'm glad they mentioned JY/KM. Complete and utter waste. JY, who is actually good, has been sidelined while 'talents' like Spam and GomerPyle get screentime. Appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted December 12, 2017 Members Share Posted December 12, 2017 I feel that Soap Opera Digest hasn't really been relevant since around 2013, after we were down to 4 soaps, and shows like GH and Y&R had their big anniversary editions. Since then, it's been a non-factor. Also, as one of the 12 people in the world who's still a subscriber (but not renewing this year... I've got like 30 issues I still haven't gotten around to reading), about a month ago, their page count went from 96 to 72! A 25% drop! Yet I'm guessing it's still the same bloated $5 price tag on newsstands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted December 12, 2017 Members Share Posted December 12, 2017 Grocery stores in my area haven't carried SOD in years. B&B as best show is laughable. But then again it also makes me sad that daytime dramas are still a part of the Daytime Emmys. They should be dropped. It's so awful that these shows with these actors will eventually catch records for number of times won Best Drama, Best Actor, Actress, writing, direction, etc. when there are only 4 shows on so one of them has to win, when no one is actually deserving. It's impressive when there are 7 or 8 or 9 choices out there, but not when there's 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sindacco Posted December 19, 2017 Members Share Posted December 19, 2017 I thought B&B was pretty good the first half of the year. At least compared to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted December 19, 2017 Members Share Posted December 19, 2017 Yes ghost Stone was a vision of Sonny's when Sam shot him and he was stuck in that pit? Warehouse? Whatever it was. You would think since MS doesn't act anymore he would have some standards since he doesn't need the money, but I guess not. Although I will say MS and MB still have an easy friend chemistry.........Sonny just doesn't even deserve to see "ghost" Stone at this point, but that is another post.

Members SFK Posted December 20, 2017 Members Share Posted December 20, 2017 Wow, thanks. I stopped caring, and yet I feel I've missed so much (particularly Tracy's last few months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 3, 2018 Members Share Posted January 3, 2018 Slight tangent but I didn't realize TV Guide canned Michael Logan's soap column, which is why he didn't do a Best of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
