Guiding Light:

The golden age of 1991 to 1993 was good, but I much prefer the Pam Long years.  More heart and enjoyable.

EON:

Lee Sheldon wasn't a bad head writer.

Skye and Raven were over rated 

 

ATWT:

Lucy Deakins, Heather rattray, and Noelle Beck were better Lily's than Martha Byrne.

•I never enjoyed the David Hayward character on AMC, nor Finola Hughes.

•Erika Slezak isn’t THAT great  - and didn’t deserve all those Emmys.

Leslie, Brad Maule and Jackie Zeman were all robbed in '95. (Sorry, Rena.) On the other hand, I'm okay with Sarah Michelle Geller beating Kimberly McCullough, since she won in '96.

Slezak is a good performer but sometimes she needed a good director to tell her to rein it in. She could be hammy, in the same way that some of her peers (Lucci, Strasser, Walton, Seaforth Hayes et al) could be at times.

Santa Barbara was on the air for 9 years and they only had 2 great years and 1 good year everything else was ehhhhh 

Ryan and Greenlee didn't work as a couple no matter how TPTB tried to shove it down the audience's throat 

The last couple of seasons of Dallas were mediocre but it was kinda entertaining

Jackie Zeman submitted in supporting actress that's what I think hurt her chances 

Leslie and Brad should have won, but they lost to actors who knew how to put a reel together 

Justin Deas submitted a stand alone episode 

Slezak submitted an episode where she got to use her DID alter egos

I watched Rena's Emmy reel recently and if Jackie had to lose to anyone Rena would've been that person.

I always thought Lois' accent made her stand out from the other nominees that's my theory why she won lol

As cringe as some of those scenes could be, Erika did her thing in 1995.  The DID plot was perhaps Viki's last powerful storyline for a few years there (dare I say one of her greatest) and it was fun to see her transition between characters. Leslie Charleson is underrated as Monica, and definately gave a more grounded performance on a more realistic storyline. 

Unpopular opinion: Knots Landing was better than Dallas. I wrestle with which of those two night time soaps deserve the top spot. At the very least, Knots Landing was better than Dallas after Jock's death.

    • Thanks so much @SoapDope78 Wow-the first week of 1 hr shows and Gloria Monty's tenure. It's been reported that she scrapped the first few shows that had already been taped in the hour format, but like so many stories from the good ol' days that might be a myth. Nothing about what we saw there suggests any noticeable changes in direction or production.  
    • Sami's Three Stooges stole the show today

      I enjoyed their individual scenes with other characters before they all came together at the Pub to commiserate over their relationships with Sami. I thought that was broken down pretty well. I just wish it had gone on a little longer. And I actually found it kinda funny too lol it seemed more mature than what we're used to. That's the kind of humor that should be on a soap. But I'm not really sure about all this talk of Dante Vitali and Sami's engagement though, especially since it doesn't look like Ali Sweeney is coming back anytime soon. What's the point of it all if we're (probably) not going to see it? It also looked like today was the first round of Brady vs. Xander as well lol I enjoyed their fight, and I'm interested in seeing this storyline play out. Even though I'm sure that Sarah will ultimately go back to Xander in the end, I'd like to see what happens along the way, and how they and everyone around them are affected by this. Btw, Theo and Jada? Idk. I still think he had the most chemistry with Arianna. And he was a bit of a dick too. It also seemed a little out of character for Jada to be so OK with him being such a dick  And though Alex and Stephanie were very boring again and need much better conflict than this book stuff, I am interested in the mystery of who's targeting Alex.  And yeah, I know this is a nitpick, but why is the Square still open after the gala? Isn't it supposed to be really late at night? 
    • In fairness, Hillary and Bob Woods were thick as thieves again at least by the end of OLTL. But both she and I believe Mark Derwin not so subtly dissed Kale Browne in the oral history, lol.

    • Frat Boy Jr.'s reaction to seeing Luna was just awful acting. It was so bad that I started laughing.

      Does anyone have screenshots of it?
    • Geez, I hadn't heard that Doctors story. HBS really did go through it. 
    • No offense to the actors involved, but dear God in heaven: I don't know HOW viewers managed to get through that storyline with Maggie, Frank, Cal and baby Jill without running into oncoming traffic.  Then, to make matters worse, they dragged poor Diana into the mess!  I don't care WHO gets that damn baby!  Just wrap it up and move ON already!
    • Poor HBS.  To have to put up with Stephen Burleigh, who stuck his knee between her legs while rehearsing a love scene on THE DOCTORS, then told the director that's what he did with his wife; Kincaid, who had more hair on his chest and upper lip than Koko the Gorilla; Kale Browne, who taped his lines all over the OLTL studio floor, because he couldn't ever be bothered to [!@#$%^&*] memorize them; and Robert S. Woods, who apparently thought it was still 1979 and that he was still smolderingly sexy, so why should Bo Buchanan be stuck being in a happy marriage with Nora?  After all that, no wonder she jumped at the chance to play a lesbian on VENICE, lol.
