FIrst, it was Sean Kanan and his (minor) weight problem; now, it's LG and her bipolar 2 and BPD (which I did not know about until just this second).  Ron Carlivati's a bully.

No he is a despicable human being.

Soaps as far as I can remember had emotional attachment for me. That's what soaps are suppose to do. You care so much for these characters that you just can't miss your soap not even for a family wedding. They are family to you(read the Kathryn Hays thread).

Carlivati Days is all about jokes, stereotypes, cruelty and has no values at all. 

It's Ron getting his thrills.

 

I'm a week and a day behind and I'm not running to my tv to catch up.

I hesitate to offer psychological diagnoses of someone I have never met but he strikes me as the kind of guy who probably thinks he is being funny. You can hear him scoff "Lighten up" at you if he hurts your feelings.
Not necessarily malicious but gliding through life thinking of other people's feeling - or opinions as his constant whining about fan feedback on social media  shows - as an inconvenience to his blessed existence where he should be able to say, joke and write about whatever he wants.

Damn. I didn't know that about Lindsey Godfrey and that's terrible to hear.

I think before I said that someone needed to grab a biology textbook and explain to Sarah/Renee about the process of aging. Now, it appears that someone needs to grab a biology book and explain to Sarah about puberty. And a round mirror.

I assume that it'll be available on Peapock later this evening then? It's weird how my TV viewing habits have changed so much. I just download and upload on my PLEX, but soaps ain't one of them. I can't even imagine how many seeders and leechers they would have for soaps.

    • O'Connor was listed as both breakdown and scriptwriter this week in the few episodes I saw and he wrote one script this week.
    • Deadline is reporting that Jake Schreier, who recently directed Thunderbolts* (a return to form quality-wise for the MCU IMO), is the frontrunner to direct the MCU X-Men reboot.  I thought he did an excellent job with Thunderbolts* - in a way, that seemed like an audition for the X-Men revolving around a group of misfit characters that come together under a common goal (the mental health plotline was also unusually deep but well handled for the MCU, a quality that would be important for any X-Men project).  ‘X-Men’ Movie At Marvel Studios Circling ‘Thunderbolts*’ Director Jake Schreier To Assemble New Team – The Dish
    • Laura was at such a cool place by season 7. There were many exciting avenues to take the character, I wish they had explored the different dynamics within the friendship circle. Watching Karen and Laura have more conflict, with Laura becoming the advice giver to Val is something I always wanted.  And why wait until she dead until you bring on her mom? Yep. Yup. I didn't care for it.
    • Thanks.  Yes, I believe this is his first time with the BDWs.  Was O'Connor still listed with the BDWs?
    • The flow of each episode has been so much better
    • And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.
    • I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.
