Yeah, I agree.  We have witnessed just how much damage FrankenVarni can inflict on this show without Ron's help for years.  Valentini did Ron no favors when they worked together at GH.  No doubt about it. 

 

Does that mean I think Ron did a halfway decent job at GH?  HELL NO!  Carlivati devolved into full blown hackery for a full two years before he was fired.  The day he was let go from that job, it was like the feeling the warmth of the sun after a dark and ceaseless winter.  I'll never forget how relieved I was that day.  I'm glad he's found his knack at Days.  He belongs there.  

 

This Carson baby is going to become an utter fiasco before it's all said and done.  I'll just sit back and watch the shitshow unfold before me.  My neck is going to get sore from me shaking my head.

Some people are outraged when women are pregnant on soaps in general. I know about women having children in their 40s . I have  a cousin who had her first child when she was 43 (she had another when she was 45)  and a my sister-in-law was 44 when she had my niece. There's a theory that soaps prefer to having older parents having babies because it's easier to SORAS them.

I love how Kevin's super duper private room at Ferncliff has a window on the door that anyone can see through.

 

Michael's on tinder! LOL at him and Alexis's therapist having the same date.

 

I can't imagine telling a stabbing victim that she's remembering things wrong. Even if she is, lol. F-ck Nina.

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually liked RC's tenure on GH, though I can't say I liked every decision he made, such as making Obrecht Chief-of-Staff at the hospital, and especially, killing off Duke and AJ.  During RC's time on GH, the story was alot less predictable.

 

As for the Carson baby, let me pitch this story idea to the writers::  Sonny is angered by his wife's pregnancy news and alerts his right hand man, Jason, to find out who it was that did such a thing to his wife.  Finally, Sonny finds himself at the wrong end of a loaded gun, with Jason holding a gun on him, ready to pull the trigger.  "Oh damn, it was me!"  Sonny mutters.  CLICK, BOOM!

Women really love to insult their own with this stuff, but really there is little difference between now, 1989 or 1789  when it comes to women in their 40's getting  pregnant naturally.  It has always been possible, although the odds are against you (I did it twice).  If you have not hit menopause, any doctor will tell you, you are taking a risk by not using contraception.

 

It's also kind of insulting to women when shows have them think they are pregnant, but it's menopause, unless the women is in actual early menopause.  As if women who are on the verge of menopause aren't experiencing symptoms and/or know they are nearing 50. I know that's soaps for you, but it's all the more eye roll worthy in a genre supposedly written for women.

It's basically a battle between which is the least worst, I suppose, as all four have their massive, IMO, writing problems. It's still LOL though. 

 

Good for her, but shame for GH. They've never ever had an interest in Serena, and it really irritates me, but maybe we were saved a terrible recast and Serena being offed by Jill Phelps ... and Frank cared more about Kiki, when Serena should have been in Kiki's place (except with better storylines and writing ...)

 

Well, I mean, I'm so tired of babies babies babies on soaps. It feels like endless pregnancies.

 

I'm not happy they made Carly pregnant (for now anyway ... I doubt she carries it to term; GH isn't subtle here) but I was just wishing the folks who were outraged (on the cesspool that is Twitter) were outraged over the fact that it's a stupid plot device and they clearly have no idea what to do with Carly but instead so many whined and whined that she was "menopausal" and all that. It's just bizarre sometimes, reading soap Twitter. Don't even get me started on the stans panting over Ben on DAYS. Lawd.

      I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

      And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.

      I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

      Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.

      It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
