SOD: 2018 Best & Worst

SOD picked Days as "Best Show". Ron posted a clip of the article showing this on Twitter:

 

 

I agree with this choice. I think that Days has been the most interesting of the soaps this year and has made the best use of their cast. They had a lot of storylines going on for different characters. I thought that Kirsten interrupting John/Marlena's wedding in the fall (and the drama surrounding that) was entertaining. I really liked SH as Kirsten/Susan and also "Hattie" returning for a bit. I also liked other storylines that happened in the fall and some storylines they have going on now.

 

I wonder which soap will be given the title of "Worst Show". I think it should be B&B or maybe GH. IMO, GH is dark and dreary, but I think that B&B is hands down the most boring of the soaps. There really isn't much that has happened in the past year on B&B. Except Liam trying to have two families with two women he impregnated not too far apart from one another. And the other characters basically taking sides over that, mixed in with Bill trying to woo Brooke yet again and a sprinkle of other characters shown here and there.

When DAYS is your best show, you know the low bar is in sewers. I remember in the depths of the late ‘90s when Michael Logan, the kiss-ass of all kiss-asses, simply didn’t have a Best Show because no soap was good enough for him. He said Emmy voters should abstain, a bold statement. But I suppose if you’re still in the soap media business in 2018, you’re willing to praise a lot of BS. 

 

DAYS is probably the best by default, but I haven’t cared about a single story (and I can point out a plot or two I liked in the other three. Hmmm, well maybe I’d struggle with B&B).

Thanks for posting. The ones I agree with the most are Best Show and Best Wedding. And I'm fine with them putting Hilary's death as one of the biggest tearjerkers. Though, I don't agree with most of the rest of them.  I definitely don't agree that JT's murder was the best story.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
