Soap Opera Anniversaries?

The Good: ATWT’s 30th, B&B’s 20th & 25th, AW’s 25th, Days’ 25th, GL’s 60th and 70th, Y&R’s 25th

The Bad: GL’s 40th on TV primetime special, ATWT’s 40th, Days’s 50th 

The Ugly: Days’ 40th,  Y&R’s 30th and 45th

The So-So: Days’s 35th, ATWT’s 50th, Y&R’s 35th

I always liked Y&R for the most part did actually long term “anniversary stories” mired in history for their 25th and 30th anniversaries, and to some extent their 20th and 40th as well.

Never been much a GH fan but I do recall at the time from just casually curious about it there was widespread mixed reaction. Likewise I curiously did tune into OLTL’s 40th anniversary after seeing almost universal praise and friends telling me to as well but the aftermath seemed to leave the entire band wagon left in righteous indignation for good. Yikes.

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too
    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
