Unless Sloan's mom is a doctor, but I don't think they said?  I was thinking Talia was maybe involved with Sloan's brother and they aren't trying to frame Sloan, but destroy Chanel.  Or the brother is blackmailing her over a medical mistake or something?  Talia has already become 100% more interesting than Jada IMO.

That post that Errol referenced is not still not okay with me. At all.  I found it extremely upsetting.  Errol deleted my objection, so I won't restate here the specifics.  I just wanted to go on record.  There is nothing more to be said about it here.  I have communicated with Errol further via private message.

I’ll give them that; I didn’t see it coming either

But good God, yesterday was a mess. Tying it back to the posts about ideas and executions, this just might have been one of the worst executions of an idea that I’ve ever seen.

It's too bad because if the show played it less campy and less quickly (I know impossible for Ron), the stakes could have been much higher and it could have put a wrench in a lot of current stories, but now everyone knows they were drugged I assume it's basically over.  That begs the question as to why it happened in the first place.

I like Noel. That's his whit humor. 

That said I understand how you and others might have found it offensive. I do feel your pain when you feel you aren't being heard. The board needs an overhaul where moderating is concerned. Posters can continue trashing the board and other posters yet still continue to post on here. I'm not even referring to Noel. 

But I understand how the game is played here.

The show would be better as a whole if everything was less campy and less quickly, IMO. Everybody seems to forget that it's a soap, things are supposed to take time. It's like they really want to turn it into a primetime reality show and when a soap copies a different medium, it almost never works. 1994 B&B immediately springs to mind.

It's well past the time for a change in the writers room. Not even just Ron and Jamey. I feel like a lot of them need to be sent packing.

Sweetie. I'm fine. I don't go through things with animosity in real life. In real-life, I'm an advocate for civil rights, LGBTQ rights, or any other types of social discrimination and I support their causes. Periodt. I've also conducted ageism research, but the thing about me is that I know who am I am. Sure, I'm a sarcastic sh*t, but it makes me pretty. I don't need strangers from a far away land tell me who I am. They do not get to define me. No way, no how. I ain't got no tea, no shade, no pink lemonade. Let their issues with me be theirs as it's none of my business. 

That being said, I just think that there are things that we may not know especially when it comes to what other people may be stuggling or going through? You know? Because we don't know. When I come to this board, it's all about escapism. I'm not mixing real-world situations into soaps. I said two days ago that Victor Cassadine on GH is savage as he just shoots people with guns. Does this mean I'm going to be berated by strangers on here asking me what the f*ck is wrong with me because I don't support safer gun laws? 

I know my real-world facts from low-budget fiction, okay? Trust me, I know. I don't need a stranger from a far, far, far away trailer tell me who I am.

Days is garbage!  There are zero character driven stories. The show is all about one liners, brainwashing and tainted biscuits. Ron considers Days a joke and that's how he is writing it.

    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
