This! Watched today after a long time not watching and felt this way. Today's show was bland and boring. Who is this Oscar person? A new Cameron? Sonny is still a waste and so is Carly....old Carly is on too.....didn't see much of anything going on ....

GH goes through the motions. But there's no spark of life. All the remaining soaps have that deadening tonality.  Cluttered with a mass assortment of ill conceived unlikable characters. I try watching but seeing the look of entitlement in Sonny's face. Or Jason and Drew's blank expressions. Is a real turn off. Even watching once in a blue moon is a real chore for me. I used to love to hate watch it. Just to goof it. But even that stopped becoming fun ages ago.

They do have a modest fanbase on Twitter but I completely agree. They're just so blah. Anna and McBain sparked decently and made sense but Anna and Finn are just too incompatible. As a result, they've basically changed his entire character from idiosyncratic doctor to Scorpio-lite with accompanying Anna on missions and Duke-lite with the dancing. Outside of his sarcasm, everything that defined Finn to begin with has been watered down.

 

I don't understand the obsession of making sure Finola has a new leading man every year or so when there was never any problem with her chemistry with Ian Buchanan or Tristan Rogers. There's just no logic behind it. In the last six years, we had Michael Easton as McBain, Luke, Faison (masquerading as Duke, then this awful newly conconcted history I can't even stomach), Duke, whomever Grayson McCouch was playing, Andre... there was even a time there where they were testing her with Paul before they did a total rewrite and made him a serial killer. I just don't get it. There hasn't been enough spark between her and any of these guys so it's just a constant revolving door. Terrible. Not to mention the Peter s**t has all but destroyed Anna's character and made her unrecognizable.

Does anyone care about Nina, besides people who like her just because they liked MS on Y&R?

 

Seriously, does anyone care about her role in this Charlotte bullying storyline? She's so out of place and I can't imagine that anyone is rooting for her seeing as she's a horrific step mother. The only reason anyone would be on Nina's side is simply because they don't like Lulu.

Does anyone care if Nina and Valentin reunite? Not to mention their relationship is literally just the same crap over and over again. Nina decides to trust him and then he lies to her again, and she's shocked and devastated. Yawn.

Does anyone care if Nina finds her real daughter?

 

I'm guessing no to all. Why is this character shoved down our throats every day? Her relationship with Maxie is okay to watch, but that's about it. I'm tired of watching her get shoehorned into all kinds of scenes and story lines.

 

Speaking of Maxie... is anyone actually feeling her and Peter together? Their scenes are like watching paint dry for me. Doesn't help that I don't like Peter in general and the actor is terrible.

 

I still can't believe how much air time the Oscar story is getting.

 

The Ryan story continues to be the only one worth watching.

Unfortunately, it looks like Michael Easton as Finn is the one who finally stuck. She's gotten more with him any of those other guys. She has gotten more with him than she did with Duke for their second time around.

Grayson played the dude she mentored. The original actor came back to play Sloane because GM wasn't interested in returning to the show when FH came back from vacation that summer just to play Sloane being killed.

    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
    • She’s INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad you enjoyed this my friend.
    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Ambyr doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
