At this point i only watch Days. Where do i even start? AbbyGabby awkwardly trying to seduce Steffy Jr. In the cheapest black wig she could find. The whole badly written mess with John poisoning Steve. That rushed climax at the overused HTS was dreadful. I guess we should be thankful that it was wrapped up quickly. A watered down JJ stuck with a bland Lani. The who killed Andre DiMera has to be most the unexciting murder mystery to grace soaps. It's sad that this is the best they can come up with for sweeps. Back in the day all the months of the year were written like it was sweeps.  I''ll grade it a D+

I’m behind on GH and Days, but totally caught up with Y&R.While Chelsea’s exit story made no sense, I found it entertaining as a whole and the last two days of Sweeps with the Christian news coming out, have been great. 

 

Now the bad. I don’t like this JT is an [!@#$%^&*] story. I don’t like the continued destruction and belittling of Hilary. I don’t like Cane suddenly being absolved of all his wrongdoing. I only ever liked Lily when she was cheating on Cane. And Devon back as an [!@#$%^&*] does nothing for me.

 

Overall I’ll give them a c.

B&B-Don't watch anymore but considering Bradley Bell's writing it probably got an F.

Days- C....the only good part was the crumbs we got from Will and Paul. The rest of the show was a snoozefest.

GH- I don't watch it.

Y&R- a solid B.

Because I get all my information about B&B through clips and secondhand via board posts these days, I won't comment on them.

 

Y&R- the sweep storyline, at times went begging but it did something really interesting, in that it featured three women characters- Chelsea, Sharon and Phyllis and they almost completely shored up the deficits of this story.  

 

Chelsea ( a bit late) started to shine for playing the character she is best known for playing-- a character on the edge of becoming unmoored.

Watching SC and GT play off one another made me realize that Phyllis now has greater chemistry with Sharon than with any of the other characters she's had scenes with so far.  Strange but true.

 

MY seems at a loss at what to do with Hilary and that shouldn't be since there are countless options for her character. 

Is the GC Buzz/HH on its last legs?  I just don't see what more can be done with that concept. 

J.T. is too hot to waste on the stuff they're having him do.  Also, the Ashley/N.E. vs Jack/Jabot storyline has lost momentum, IMO.

 

Overall, I give Y&R a C+.  I am judging it based on the history of sweeps and the quality Y&R has been known for, not based on any lowered standard.  

I refuse to grade on a curve, LOL.

Wow. Surprised at the B for Y&R given your previous thoughts. For me, it’s around C/C+ area. Maybe a B- if I’m being generous. I think the best a soap can get in this era is a B/B+.

 

DAYS gets a D+ and B&B a D-. GH I don’t watch enough to give a solid grade.

      I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

      I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      Jason and hemming and hawing about Sidwell taking over and being ruthless

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.

      With all the changes Sunny was one of the longest running characters by that time.  She had never been married and had heaps of story potential. I can see America getting with SFT -you know 'the circus soap'. Smart move because circuses were all the rage with the kids in the 80's. Maybe Stu and Jo could have bought the circus.

      It is actually pathetic, that Victor’s 50 year old children are still written as scared of this man that has to sit in every scene. I get it, EB has been on the show for almost 50 years, but I don’t care. He’s a man in his 80’s and should not be the damn lead and driving force because you don’t want to upset Eric Braeden ‘s fragile ego that only exists because the writers have cowtowed to this man for so long.

      PREACH Victor being written as he was 20 years ago to support EB's ego or some misguided belief that what worked decades ago is still relevant is destroying the show. Victor comes off as a rambling old fool holding on to vendettas and a desperate need for perceived power. His children still cow-towing to him makes them look equally foolish. If the writing portrayed Victor as  more of an irritant to them then maybe it would work.

      They desperately need another meeting spot that isn’t Orphy Genes or the Country club. Y&R is awful now but there’s at least GCAC, Crimson Lights, Society, and the Jazz room at GCAC to meet at. 4 places is definitely better than 2 and I can’t imagine these rich folks literally only eat at their damn country club.

      I support all of this. 80 year old Victor reading lines off the table or teleprompter until it’s time to yell at someone and still being the main man driving story on the show is absolutely ridiculous to me and one of the biggest issues with the show. I respect Braeden for wanting to keep working in his old age is great and all, but WHY IS HE THE LEAD?
