LMAO please tell me you're joking? He can barely write for the character's he does have, and while he started out somewhat great with a trans character Maya, he ended up making her totally unlikable and unrootable 

 

Just think what he'd do with a gay character. He'd do a ReRon and write every single gay sterotype there is

While Luna is a good START for some diversity the show needs a lot more to be relevant to 2024 and any potential new viewers. Not that I feel like they're even trying to get any new viewers at this point or to make the stories modern and forward-thinking.

The fact that there are NO LATINO characters in a show set in Los Angeles is insane nor any gay characters at a fashion house (???) How many straight male fashion designers exist??? The few of them must ALL work at FC, I guess.

LSV is probably the hottest man on the show, and they do zilch with him besides have characters randomly tell him he's "like family." It's like what racist white people used to say about their servants. "Oh, he's like family!"

They kind of started to give Zende a story and that seemed to suddenly stop, too. He should have left FC and did his own fashion start up from the bottom to provide contrast to FC and some sort of new conflict!

I think someone accidently locked Paris in a closet, and no one noticed she's been MIA for months. Although, I have to admit the character always came across as VERY flat to me. No spark even though everyone would tell her how "amazing" she was for a bit a there.

Yet, we get repeated dialogue about how Thomas has changed. I mean, who would date the dude that told them their baby was dead. For real? I don't care how good of a lay he was.

Steffy and Finn smooch and tell each other how amazing the other is.

Ridge is always insufferable and self-absorbed.

Liam...don't get me started.

And the same lines are repeated every episode as if AI writes the scripts now.

I really think I'm hate watching the show at this point...lol.

 The lack of gay main characters in 38 years of show is... telling.

P.S there was a little moment in which they joked with the idea of Brooke finding Ridge on a gay pride... it was written very badly... but it got me thinking. Imagine Brooke finding out her man is cheating with a man. Now that would be a scandal for ages to come. They need to do it.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

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

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.

      @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Xanthe · Posted

      I know we have discussed the fact that Another World seemed to be planning a location shoot in Finland that got cancelled. I came across this item from the syndicated Soapbox column published June 14, 1982. "Soap operas have been experimenting extensively with on-location shooting in recent years to enhance storylines and increase their viewing audience. A major drawback is the added production costs involved. Another World, for example, cancelled a special trip for Victoria Wyndham (Rachel Cory on the show), who was scheduled to shoot scenes in Finland. The producers felt that the high price tag, along with resentment of the cast members who also wanted to travel but were to be left behind. was enough to scrap the whole project."
