I really feel like MM is a lovely person.  I feel bad I hate Belle so much.

I definitely have this VHS somewhere as well.  Which is great, but I haven't owned a VCR in 15 years.  I wish this was available for free so the masses could enjoy it.

Wasn't this divorce super messy?  Like he was openly on a dating website while still married?  I feel like 7000 on makeup is reasonable lol.  Didn't Deidre sue her fan club president too?  What an icon.

Yes, but it wasn't all Days fault.  The Cruise of Deception was really good.  They lost quite a few cast members back then and it was a rough transition from 80's supercouples to the 90's.  The Tale of 2 Romans was awful and unpopular and the show became very Carly focused.  I think 1992 was worse than 1991 with the awful Roman/Mrs. Doubtfire undercover story, The Bo recast transition, Kayla/Shane, PP's issues, John's wonky ass jewelry thief past, Jack/Jennifer being swindled by a con artist, Michael Easton as the new hero etc.  Once they killed off Isabella the show starting getting a lot better.  When the show starts moving toward the affair it's golden.  They got CC back as Carrie, aged Sami, brought on Austin/Billie, introduced Kate and re-cast Laura-the show was fantastic by 1993.

I know you've said that before lol, but I can't remember why you dislike her.  I make fun of MM/Belle all the time so I was trying to say something nice lol.

No idea what she's like in real life, but as an actor, she would benefit from not being on a show that brings out the worst qualities in actors. The thing is, you have actors on soaps that are good despite the material, so why is it so difficult for most of them, even really good ones, to transcend the material? Is it an issue of training? Like a classical musician who can't play anything that's not clearly written out on a sheet vs. one who can improvise freely with no written music?

Agree.  With all of this.

Six thousand dollars a month on fan club [!@#$%^&*]!?  What the hell, Dee?

So let me get this straight...

Marlena is knocked out in the cabin and the devil stays inside of her yet when Belle gets knocked out the devil is able to jump back into Johnny...yeah right.

And Carson Boatman acting in this possession story has been horrendous!

I have always felt MM was miscast as Belle.  Outside from looking like Deidre Hall-she brings nothing to the table.  She acted like she was 45 when she was 25.   I think she's an okay actress, but I think multiple shows struggle with casting a supercouple kid.  They are rarely as good as their parents.

 

1993 is really great.  1991 has a ton of problems, but it's still more watchable than 1992.  Nothing really happens in 1992.  Literally the show doesn't get going again until Marlena gets thrown in a pit.

Perhaps there is some truth to the persistent rumor that Charity Rahmer was hired (and then fired) so that MM would be more palatable to the audience?

I actually am intrigued with what you get.  Maybe it's a signed copy of Never Say Never? Anyone part of the Dee Hall fan club on this board?  I am pretty sure this was just a hardball tactic to get money from her ex because he didn't want to pay her at all IIRC.

Eric wasn't answering the phone......that's not a joke.  That was the literal excuse.

    • Y&R: 10% good, 90% garbage time BtG: 90% good, 10% garbage time
    • Valid question. Decades ago I didn't understand how this works, but then I learned.  But I never saw her as a romantic lead anyhow. I still dislike rapist Chelsea on Y&R.  And that show pairing her with her victim was just awful.
    • Oh yes I tuned back in once Ron was gone and have been enjoying what I’ve been seeing so far. This upcoming week is probably going to have me bawling though! As far Y&R I may a little harsh haha but the month started off with Summer’s abrupt departure (You go AL!!!) and it’s been downhill ever since. The one bright spot has been MM’s return along with Traci and Ashley returning to reflect, otherwise I felt the month as a whole was cumbersome to get through, especially since there wasn’t any momentum when there should have been.
    • from her nytime obit: ”Ms. Mahaffey had worked steadily over the past five decades, starting out on the NBC daytime soap opera, “The Doctors,” for which she received a Daytime Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in 1980.”
    • Do people have the same problem with Sami and Kristen being rapists who have been married several times? I don't often deal in moral equivalencies, because we would obviously need to consider their relative capacity to overpower a man's ability to consent.  But, their motives were similar to EJ's. Honestly just wondering since the EJ thing has never been an issue for me.
    • Thank you!!! You knew I was coming.

       But it just seem like a pretty good one from what I've seen so far on the majority of the soaps. I'm just sorry that I'm so behind. lol.    I'm loving the DAYS praise since I'm still approaching mid-May. I am liking the new writers so far.    That said...oooooo you gave Y&R an F? I admit...I've not been liking it much either, but I am still surprised. Thank you!!!

      I only liked Ejabby for the sole purpose of breaking and freeing Sami from her rapist. They had Chem out the a@@ and it was messy fun until they tried to make it more then it needed to be. KM Abigail was more like MA Jack so her being a messy smug thot wasn't much of a stretch. I didn't really take to her Abigail until the Ben/Chad affair and the Cabin abs is a serial killer story for the 50th.
    • 5-27   UGH. SHUT UP, RIDGE!!!   So darn entitled, and I don't even care if he's right. Steffy and Hope FINALLY getting along does look suspect. But he's the last person to be sitting here and having an issue.   And I'm a sucker for it, but awwww. Carter and Hope got engaged.   Cute Liam/Finn moment. 
    • @Taoboi I was going to do one a few days ago. I'm glad you started the thread. Bold: F BTG: B- Days: A- GH: A- YR: I don't watch it.
