I know alcoholism is a serious problem, and soaps vacillate between playing it very real and sad, and camping it up.  Sometimes they do both with the same storyline (Erica’s pill addiction, although compared to what I saw of her brother’s addiction storyline hers was pretty shallow).

 

But every time they have dipped into this with Alexis I have found it neither dark enough or with enough weight to be a good issue storyline, nor is she any fun like Nikki on Y&R when falling off the wagon.  It’s just filler.

LOL it was. They were all sad their bromance was over. Michael was a petty bitch of course. We all know Michael should be banging dudes. None of his relationship with women have ever worked ... just saying

 

LOL right? 

 

And TBH, Alexis is far more entertaining as a drunk. I loved her defiance with Sam. Grahn did a good job. Of course now Julian's back in orbit right on cue. 

 

lol

 

Monaco has been checked out for years and years. It's bizarre watching her on Port Charles (I was Youtubing it a while back) and how she's now a zombie. She was never great but she was checked in. I wish they had made Sam Kevin's instead of Julian Jerome. It's still LOL that Monaco and deVry play father and daughter. And of course Sam runs to Alexis' enabler and most toxic relationship in Julian. So he can be the big hero? Meh. Julian should have been dead years ago.

 

Benard needed to retire years ago, IMHO.

 

Meanwhile, sidenote to @BetterForgotten I love your avatar picture of Bet and Hilda from Corrie. I've been immersing myself in Coronation Street (classic, mind you). It's sad to see how far the show has fallen. I need to get into the Coronation Street thread. There should be a thread for the classic years. I'd be curious to see where people believe it fell off.

 

Anyway, back to the mess that is GH.

 

I like Carly losing it over Nelle. I hope we get Nelle gaslighting her ass soon and driving her into the loony bin. Give me drama. I also hope some crazy Nina returns when Jax and Carly inevitably have sex with each other down the road and their 'secret' comes out. Can we then get Brenda back or just ship Sonny off to the mobster retirement home?

 

So many little things about the current soaps bother me but I'm just always a believer in the next generation 'carrying on the torch' if you will. You should have that Alan and Monica dynamic and Carly and AJ were perfect for it. Sigh.

 

That would be nice!

They are. I think they might. They were on today and it was nice to see them. And Dev was manipulating Josslyn. Kudos to whoever decided to make Dev a schemer causing trouble between them all. It at least adds some small (very small) spark.

Well, Michael's first time with a man was not a very pleasant experience for him but you would think that Chase would've been the one to help Michael finally realize what he really wants lol

Dev was a devious little bastard today. I like it.  But getting back to another point that you made, I do sometimes wish Carly's daughter was more like Carly lol she should know that something is up with Dev and not be so easily manipulated by him.

 

I still would have no problem with Cam being with Joss or Trina or even Dev.

Why have Trina decide with one kiss that she has no feelings for Cam? Just stupid. And a Joss needs a personality, stat. 
 

The Cyrus character won’t end soon, but should, because it’s pathetic. This ALL POWERFUL AND DEADLY GIANT is personally making visits to Julian’s dive bar to buy it and threaten him??? I thought he was supposed to be a big shot, a real boss. This stuff is just ridiculous.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
