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.

      Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO.

      Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By JoeCool · Posted

      @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.

      I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).

      Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.

      That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.

      Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.

      I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.

      There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
