I doubt very seriously if the status of Carly, Nina, Sonny will change. I believe they all have 4 episode guarantees. 

Anyway, just watched the show & I have only  one typical soapy thought. Name change for the hospital: General NoHIPAA Hospital where  your secrets are out in the open all the time!

Olivia is supposed to be a couple years younger than Sonny.  Make of that what you will as Sonny's has de-aged through the years.  Since when was young Lois a partier?  We heard A LOT about Bensonhurst in the 90's and Lois was never described like that.   It was also weird that Olivia referred to Lois as someone Eddie might know.  Saying she was his ex-wife or Brooklyn's mother would have been much more relevant.

Idk, I get he has no idea who Lois is, but I think that is sort of important information.  He has to wonder who Brooklyn's mom is lol.  It would have been easy to slip that info in casually into the story or, you know, just don't use Lois as part of the story if the show doesn't want to connect the dots.

I don't get the whole story.  This Eddie Maine persona is nothing like Eddie Maine was.  He was still Ned just a leather pants wearing bar singer at night.  He wasn't like this.  This is a made-up personality in his head and he's using the name Eddie Maine.  It would be interesting if he thought it was 1995 and had to figure his life out from there, but that isn't the case.  I don't get the point of doing a throwback to history when it really has nothing to do with history at all.

I won’t go into any detail because I’ve said it before, but Joss just needs to die. And ruining Kristina isn’t going to make anyone like her. 

Hopefully, Dex will soon realize that he has feelings for Trina and take out the trash. The two of them developing feelings for each other and causing conflict for Sprina would be a much, much better story then Spencer catching feelings for Esme. 

The Austin/Ava stuff just needs to end. Same goes for Curtis’ whining.

I wanted Phyllis to be the the head of Kelly's. She has the same warmth as Ruby and Mary Mae. I wish they hadn't killed off Lenny. That would have made a nice husband and wife establishment.

That makes sense because their plots feel so discombobulated. They just pick up one minute, then cool off, then randomly pick back. I didn't even realize Cyrus was still on the show. Especially for a cast as large as this, you would think there's more foresight and planning into the plots.

If GH supposedly comes in under budget and is able to have all of these sets with so many characters, think about how much greater the show would be if they trimmed all of the useless characters, stuck to a core group of players with defined stories and had a decent supporting cast.

If anything, at the time Eddie was the best parts of Ned, let loose from his suits and power struggles and at times underhanded practices to protect the family or make ELQ more rich. Wasn’t Ned involved in the incinerator project that was going to be built on the side of town with the Ward House? He was better than Edward or Tracy, but still capable of being underhanded and power hungry.

Ned was the a$$hole, not Eddie (and both were awful for lying to Lois).

      Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April.

      How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.

      You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford on DAYS, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.

      But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.

      This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
