Members GLATWT88 Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 The responses on Instagram truly only help support whoever chooses these repeats. The excitement and praise for another Sonny week or the when are new episodes come back drown out a very few asking for better choices or real classics. The Sonny praise is insane, but saying MB was a great actor took me out. I can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 LLC and DZ as mother/son is so ridiculous. He looks like he could be her older brother. That it was at all credible at any point is a testament to those actors. JJ was always so red-rimmed and miserable when I watched this go-around as Lucky. He’s a really great actor with a lot of access to his emotions, but that was just exhausting to watch. It was refreshing to see him somewhat more upbeat on Nashville (before that show went to total sh!t). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 MB actually memorized his lines in that final scene. Give him a gun and magic happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 It’s crazy how many times they’ve re-aired that episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 Yes. I was wondering why I remembered it. I must have caught one of the many re-airings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 At least he used to show some energy. How long has he been phoning it in now? 15 years, at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Just like his mother, especially as written by Guza. She was almost always miserable or afraid everything was going to fall apart once Nikolas arrived. The year Lucky was “dead“ was really awful as far as watching her grieve, and Lucky’s last return reminded me of how they wrote for Laura.

Members GLATWT88 Posted June 30, 2020 Members Share Posted June 30, 2020 Aren't these the last episode before they ran out? Is GH already taping new episodes and planning a return the week after or are they really playing with fans like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Planet Soap Posted July 2, 2020 Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I see the same trend with y&r and b&b. Fans from these online threads seem to have a more wholehearted understanding of each of the soaps classical eras, and seem to be more scrutinizing of what we're being shown on screen these days. This in comparison to the modern fans on social media who seem to eat up whatever trash the writers come up with, and "ship" literally any couple paring. Case and point, this is fan choice week #2 for B&B and all requested episodes have been from the 2010s, despite the show's best era being pre 2002. Similarly fans on Y&R's official facebook are complaining about why it's actors haven't gotten back to filming---whereas here on DTS---fans appear to be enjoying and dissecting each of the older classic episodes.

Members Faulkner Posted July 2, 2020 Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 That’s why I’ve always loved this board, in spite of its issues. There are smart individual voices on Twitter and elsewhere, but SON remains one of the few places on the web that takes the genre seriously. We’re not going to take whatever sh!t is shoveled to us.

Members Planet Soap Posted July 2, 2020 Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Please register in order to view this content Facts! I see Michael's shooting is "re-re-re" airing next week. In watching clips on YouTube it's insane how many simultaneous storylines Sonny had from 2008-2010. I had foggy memories of watching Kate's shooting live. While re-watching the scenes, I was surprised to see Claudia sitting in the audience. Between 2008 and 2009 alone feature the Sonny related plots of: Claudia and Sonny, Michael's shooting & coma, Sonny and Kate's relationship/ wedding shooting, Franco's arrival, Dante's undercover operation, etc....

Members KMan101 Posted July 2, 2020 Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) THIS! To be fair I have seen a good amount of pushback towards the endless Sonny weeks (edit: on Twitter; I stay away from Soap Facebook and Soap Insta) but of course the crazies have the loudest voices, lol. Pretty much sums it up. And so so so many 'fans' want instant gratification. "Why doesn't so and so know already" ... etc. It's so annoying. These stans who have no idea how soaps work are helping ruin the genre because for whatever reason the soaps cater to them. The whole "team" so and so is SO damaging to me and divisive.
