GH    B+ . Would have been a A but there is too much Weeping Wallow, the tease of hooking Austin, and that Joss/Dex day  

Please register in order to view this content

. Otherwise the show was killing it.

B&B   C+       The Brooke/Taylor friendship is okay, but they are shoving it down our throats daily. Why can't the friendship develop like real ones, over time?  Bill/Sheila doesn't work for me.

Y&R     D-. Outside of Graz's scenes with Lucy, nothing has been good.   The Sally telling both men about the baby was an abysmal low. i  Courtney Hope, but she can't pull the show off alone.  Alison Lanier is another shining light-- such a breath of fresh air.  HKK was bored.  I find her much better served in my cheesy Hallmark movies.  

DOOL --  Not Applicable  --  I haven't watched since RC took over, but used to keep up through the Days thread here, which is now not  readable  with all the gibberish from the cloying, needy member begging for attention.

 

Honorable Mentions for February Sweeps    A for All American with the death of Billy Baker. A- for All American Homecoming.

@TaoboiEven though GH stepped it up for sweeps. The only soap to do so. It could have been better. While i loved seeing Sprina finally kissing. I can't stand a dying Weeping Willow. Plus, on GH there's only a small number of characters i care about. I just have indifference or disdain for the rest.

  1. Spencer
  2. Trina
  3. Laura
  4. Ava
  5. Cameron
  6. Liz (forever and always, I don't care what she does. I'm a Liz stan till the day one of us dies)
  7. Portia (Brook Kerr just seems so happy to have a real character to play after 10 long years on Passions playing garbage)
  8. Mac
  9. Felicia (even though I think Kristina Wagner is an awful actress but she's so cute I can get past it)
  10. Alexis (I just like seeing NLG work)
  11. Anna (because she's Anna and Finola. I find her stories useless filler, even moreso with Valentin right there stinking up the screen)
  12. Austin (surprisingly. And once he's away from Ava I'm absolutely positive that will go away)
  13. Liesl (entirely because of the actress)
  14. Nikolas (if he's alive and played by Adam Huss or someone who isn't Marcus Coloma)

Minus characters who haven't appeared in weeks/months like Monica, Lucy, Martin, etc. Literally everyone else could disappear and I'd be grateful.

Also GH was the only soap I watched last month and it gets an A- for the current state of daytime, if this were idk 1998 it would have gotten a solid B-/C+.

That's a great list! I really hope Lesley Charleson gets recuperated & rehabbed & gets back to us. I read in an interview with Jane & Tony & Kin that her nickname is "Lester". Cracks me up. I think Maura West is playing her best part ever, right time & right place & right writing, where Ava & Maura together are both a badass dame & a queen. You've got a slew of badass dames on your list! I like them all. When I made my don't like list I forgot that I don't like Gregory so I am impatient for them to write something else for Alexis. Liking Liz & liking Liesl is new to me & I think they are both great & both of them looked really fine in the last 2 days. I've liked all your other ladies forever & a day. I didn't even mind Brook wearing her bridal gown for days on end because it was so beautiful on her. And she's had fantastic dialog. Your guys I enjoy, too, but they have "buts" with them. I'm afraid they're going to pair Cam with Esme, which make me go OH NO. I hate that Cody Bell is Mac's son. I'm so glad they've paired Austin with Ava. At long last, something right! Okay, enough.

THANK YOU!!! I believe someone mentioned it on the pervious page, but it was so jarring to have great story flow for 3 weeks...only to tune into Thursday...see Willow's face and le sigh. Even I was going...oh, die already. You were not the only one hoping Austin would get Hooked.  And I don't even want to talk about how over Joss/Dex I now am. 

 

As for the Brooke/Taylor friendship, I would think the same except at least they are having the other characters talk about on screen how weird it is to see so I can't pick on it being pushed since it feels like that is being acknowledged in some way. 

 

Yeah...I loved all Graz's scenes last month. And just saw Alison Lanier over the last few days and she's sooooo good. And I won't talk about how that verdammt WTD storyline killed that Nick/Sally/Adam triangle for me. And that standalone episode...No, MA'AM. I really wanted to throw something at the TV. A waste of time. 

 

Awww...but while I loved what we got...especially everything around Portia's wedding...it could have been better. Though I would have went right ahead and explode the Dex is a double agent, Sonny's shipment storyline right along with all the other storylines finally converging and climaxing. Then we could have gone into this month with Laura vs Victor along with all the other storylines she is attached to due to all things ended last month and start to climax Anna's part in LvV as well. Cuz like I said above...when Willow's face came on-screen, the momentum upped and died. 

 

I completely understand on liking only a few. It's how I'm growing to feel on Y&R as of late.

 

If you don't mind me saying, I love the list...especially the bold. I hope that means you liked Anna in Anna mode taking down Victor's double agent.  

 

And yes, I will always want Liz in story so while I might not like it, I do like things are still happening with her right now...and it's circling around Ava, too.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
