Yeah 2024 has been a double edged sword for daytime. Y&R got a 4 year renewal and Ed Scott back, but Griffith and Kent are still in charge. GH fans had their hopes raised and then crushed with the Patrick Mulcahey debacle. Ron was fired months ago yet his material is still airing and now Fake Rafe is back from the dead…? B&B keeps going further down into a bottomless pit. But it is nice to know daytime is not dead and we do have some much to look forward to in 2025.

And, contrary to what writers and producers have told us this year…

AnnaLynne McCord should be playing the real Abigail

John “Jagger” Cates deserves justice 

And, Luna was raped

😂😂😂😂😂

As usual. The same lesson repeats at this Christmas too. Lesson about people. The ones I helped most and gave most to... this past year, mostly didn't even bother to say Merry Christmas (with exceptions of course). And the ones I never even expected to hear from or the ones I didn't give any special treatment to... called/wrote... wanted to wish me well. 

People I helped start their profession by finding them a job, people who I lend money to after they begged me... and etc... are nowhere to be seen. I haven't yet (the day is not over...) received even one Merry Christmas from some of them. Their ungratefulness is the biggest gift to me... Something that will inspire to make me stop lending a hand and helping people that don't deserve it in the next year. To think twice when I find myself losing my time with their problems and needs. Twink twice before I help them with connections at work.

But there is also one other lesson - you can expect to find love, care and best wishes from people you didn't even notice before. Sometimes people you perceived as long forgotten acquaintances. People you didn't even like. And I believe all this is happening... to open my eyes. When one door closes, another opens. Thank you God for showing me the true nature of people on days like these. ❤️❤️❤️

Ah Christmas Eve is upon us again.

Been a tough year in Soapland with losing so many icons and legends. Yet we were also blessed with show renewals, Knots Landing streaming, and Beyond the Gates.

Going to spend some time taking nostalgic trips to Genoa City, Oakdale, and Springfield tomorrow. Hoping to make new Christmas memories in Fairmont Estates this time next year. 😊

Wishing all of my fellow wonderful SONers an absolutely fabulous holiday season this year!!! 💗🎉🥂

@DRW50 Oh no I did not know danfling had passed away. I’m very saddened to learn that. Despite the quirks I enjoyed his message board back in the day (Anyone know whatever happened to regular poster Tess from there?) and learned a lot, as well from him here at SON over the years. May he rest in peace.

@slick jones I also appreciate the hard work put into those cast and character lists.  The ATWT and GL ones in particular actually helped filled some gaps for myself. A wonderful resource indeed. 

This is lovely - a collection of Christmas sitcom clips.

 

@soapfan770 Thank you! Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays and a safe, healthy and prosperous 2025! 

Am I the only one who suddenly begins speaking in a British English accent when watching British telly? And finds it hard to switch out of?

"Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." - Ernestine Ulmer

The moment... when I don't eat in our freaking apartment, because Elmo (our dog) is sleeping and I know that me eating will disrupt his sleep. I mean... I will start losing weight if I continue thinking of Elmo before myself. 😂 

I just don't want to wake that sweet soul and make him beg for food. So... I'll sit here and suffer in hunger. Till he at least goes to the other room and I can the open the chips. 😂

Why do we crucify ourselves? 

 

For some reason I am still waking up an hour after coming out of bed. I can't process I'm not sleeping. Must have woken up during some deep sleep moment. I feel like a moody puppy. I still haven't had anything to eat and every noise annoys me.
