Taking a ride on the roller coaster, or what used to be just said suspending your disbelief, is a decision that you make to do or don't make to do. When you don't make it, you take a break or you quit. When you do make it, it's just a bond between you & your show that you'll keep trying. Might whine. Might celebrate. But what the heck it just goes along with being a soap fan. Or a fan of a losing football team. Or a fan of a certain movie franchise. It's like the Golden Rule of fandom. 

But, you really think all of this Chad & Steph heavy-handed writing is a smoke screen & their real goal is Alex & Steph? How will she ever get past phonegate?!

Well, I am completely all in for the ride at this point. And, I  will take what we get. Although my personal druthers would be never to hear about that damned phone ever again. Personally I am hoping that at peacock they curse more & I want to see Julie tell Gwen off with some nice blankety-blanks! After all, she did say "bastard" last year! 

Remind me, who are your couples? Mine are Doug & Julie, John & Marlena, Patch & Kayla, Eric & Nicole and even though it's hopeless Challie. Chad & Abby were one, but, that went away. I full expect Stephanie to be walking down the aisle toward Chad when Abby walks in with a toddler. I am even sporting Jarlena emojis:

John and Marlena for sure. I can say the same for Doug and Julie. Okay, Patch and Kayla, but it is probably because I feel the least attached to them and it's more about the actor/actress who I first saw over on GH. But I grew to love them...and their kids. 

 

But growing up yes...I am here for Eric/Nicole, Sami/Lucas. And Brady/Kristen when Kristen was played by ED. Stefan/Gabi before now. Chloe/Brady. 

 

Off the top of my head.

Yeah, I would be Sami/Lucas if they were on the canvas. I miss ED something fierce. Stacy does not cut it for me. Chloe, I love as Nicole's friend & whoever she's with based on the shockingly shallow gagaga that she is one of the most beautiful women in the whole world! She was tweeting from a plane this afternoon where her seat mate was pulling out nose hairs ... and boogers. I see Nadia in venicetheseries, too. And, I'm pretty sure she's a nice person who is not affected by her own beauty.

I enjoy the Eric/Brady banter, even thought they are both about fifteen years too old for that dialogue (the dating stuff, not the mourning of Marlena stuff), and the topic of sobriety highlights the lack of differentiation between the two characters.  Remember when Brady was a bratty rebellious teen and Eric was a stoic rescuer? All of those traits have been lost in the recasting,

    • I hated Mick, his mama and their whole raggedy ass family so I’m glad Dyer keeps yapping, hopefully the character remains gone. I never commented on Sonia and Bianca’s exit but I thought it was well done, never been a Sonia fan but it was touching seeing her Bianca ride off with Bex and the new baby. The episodes with Martin’s funeral and Sonia comforting Stacey then Stacey and Ruby finally coming to an understanding were great as well. Nicola held it down for a few weeks with this killed Harry’s girlfriend story and the actor playing Harry has improved quite a bit, I like him and Gina together and his friendship with Kojo. I was hoping for a bigger renovation for The Vic but I do like the refurbished look. The episode where they first opened back up was really good too, great use of Nigel, Billy and the history of East London I really love the stuff they’ve done with Avani and the actress has realy shined but I hate nuVicki’s perv step son and weirdo husband. I really wanted Ravi to whoop both their asses. I’m so happy Cindy is back, I thought she’d be gone longer. Loved her helping Lauren give birth, I felt bad they still kicked her out at the end. Her blackmailing Kathy and Ian was well deserved and I like that she snagged The Albert and still exposed Kathy’s affair with Harvey. Not a fan at all of Harvey and Jean but I did enjoy all the fallout, especially Kat dragging Harvey, Freddie hugging Jean and making her cry. Ive really enjoyed the Clenshaw era so I’m sad to see him go but I’m willing to give the new show-runner a chance. I wonder how many more exits and new additions we’ll see.  
    • Same. I love like a lot of the other characters she has so much potential and possibilities. I also love she is not a shrinking violet. And most definitely not perfect.   Lol. Okay, I give you that. But I'm a horror fan so I ain't hating on her for being one, too.    Well like I said when this story started...those kind of backrooms DO exist even now. The workers even run to get the gamblers food orders so they can completely focus on losing all their money the game. I appreciated Randy clarifying that the other day when Mona was asking him about the machines. Of course, that said...I guess the question is if we will see the rest of the casino.    Same, but especially the bold.
    • One of the things that I found refreshing about Ryan's Hope when I discovered it on SoapNet was that for the most part, Delia was the only female character whose life seemed to revolve around getting and keeping a man, and it was clearly viewed as a character flaw. Because by the 2000s, I feel like fully half the female characters on the soaps at that time were obsessed with trying to snare some vacuous lunkhead. Up that to like 85% of them if we're talking Days Of Our Lives or Passions.
    • Yes, a few months before Wanda De Jesus, actually. Shortly after the Dobsons took over again, Rosa just magically reappeared as if she'd just been offscreen in the Capwell kitchen for the past four years. I just started watching this from the beginning again last year and I will agree with past posts that there really does seem to have been a reboot of sorts in January 1985. To me, it seemed like the four performers who really seemed to set the tone for the new wittier, more sophisticated direction were Nicolas Coster, Louise Sorel, Lane Davies and Judith McConnell.
    • You're right about the potential many of those stories could have had. The execution was more of an issue. Something never clicked for me in Angelique's present-day adventures - some of them I actually found very irritating due to the slanted writing and her voice being overshadowed. It took the Leviathan story for me to enjoy her in that timeline. I wish they had just left Peter/Vicki to the past and used that to inform who Vicki became when she returned, instead of bringing him back.
    • Thanks @slick jones I appreciate the interviews you share.
    • Download isn't working for me either.  With that said, thank you for all the work you have done!
    • @P.J. Well, it wasn't her first award. I am sure she has written books, and spoken at colleges, and gotten some notoriety from it. Most importantly, she is fulfilled. Something Dani is not.  @Paul Raven Exactly, it does not ring true to me. Dani has that big personality because she is masking pain. And she probably clung to Bill because he made her feel smart and important (at one point). There are ways to add more layers to her.
    • Absolutely. And IIRC Rose Alaio has mentioned production having it out for her.
