Which means Liam will get more airtime. I'm sure that's why she was brought back. Thudley can't be without having his secret crush on air. Full blast of Liam and Ivy coming!

I really hope this soap continues to drop in the ratings because B&B is a mess and getting worse.

I had doubts he'd leave Liam single forever. Thudley's written Steffy as taking a sledgehammer to any thoughts of wanting back with Liam, and Hope is supposedly caught up in Thomas, but maybe Thomas leaves town and returns with Ivy In tow?

Could be Thope/Ivy triangle or Lope/Thomas/Ivy quad lol

He doesn't even give a scene to comment Taylor's absence... we don't have Taylor... but we get this back again... This will be so messy. We do not need Ivy. I don't want to see Liam smile at her and look at her like a puppy. I hope General Hospital gets the second place in ratings...

Loving/The City Discussion Thread

It's possible the change from Marland to Nixon led to the change in Curtis. Come to think of it, Curtis is defanged even a bit under Marland when they pair him with Colby Cantrell, Rita Mae's niece who worked as a buyer for Burnell's. Curtis' pornographic past (he financed films when he was in Europe) came back to haunt him when model Sasha Hale came to town as she had started in one of his films. Colby didn't like this and she ended up involved with Jonathan Maitlane or Keith Lane. I can never remember which.
Watching the December, 1985, and January, 1986, material recently uploaded from around the wedding of Ava and Curtis, I get the sense that Ava was suppose to be the love of Curtis' life, in his eyes, but that he couldn't really tame her. Even at this point, Curtis is presented as slightly complicated as he has been chasing after and comforting his cousin's wife even though Jack and Stacey have run off to California to start a new life with little Johnny. By the time we get to Lottie, Curtis just seems more like watered down.
Regarding Shana and Leo, I appreciate the fact that they are two very different people with strong personalities. I can see the battle of the sexes element, but I don't think that it negates the fact that Leo is a male chauvinist, and I'm pretty sure this is stated onscreen. What I will say is that it is a true battle for the sexes; we aren't expected to agree with Leo's stance on things nor is Shana a perfect person. In pursuit of having a child, Shana has chosen Leo for his looks, despite his personality, because he's attractie and she wants good genes. While this is never directly addressed, Shana's pursuit of creating a perfect child, whether intentional or not on the part of the writers, ends up being disrupted by the possibility that Shana's baby might have developmental delays. I liked that Shana ended up having power over Leo when she co-signed the loan and he had only so many days to pay it back.
What I should have clarified was that while some of the attitudes that Guza may have had male characters exhibit later on General Hospital, the tone and plotting was quite different. I am always left feeling that Leo feels the way he does and that the writers do not share his vision. In addition, the women in peril genre was big in TV movies in the era and I've seen much more disturbing material on Levinson and Riche's General Hospital from the same period. Leo just being an egotistical jerk doesn't really hit the way the Quartermaine brothers slut shaming a childhood sex abuse survivor. Shana and Leo's material is never offensive me. Honestly, I found Ava's antics funny at times in this story, but trying a bit too hard at others.
While I hear what you are saying about changing perspectives, though I think, especially with what has come out about Joe Stuart and the general work environment in the 1980s in the Loving interviews from several years back, that examining some of the work through the lens of how gender is represented is not unwarranted. I would also agree with you that modern cancel culture does lead to dismissive attitudes towards material that may be less problematic than necessary. I think Leo's point of view is realistic, and I wish they had maintained it because characters with varying viewpoints is the natural source of drama.

2026 Daytime Emmy predictions

It's hard to guess on nominations now that they do these awards so much later. If they didn't change the voting process, not too confident in winners either. One thing I will say is that I expect BTG to get nominations but I hope people don't get their hopes up too high. We know politics are always a thing at the Emmys and with 5 soaps now, they probably won't get as many acting nods as people hope.

Seeing Susan Keith in the 1991 scenes makes me think of Another World. I can see her playing Cecile like this in the 80s and the 90s.

BTG: June 2026 Discussion Thread

In regards to Eva, I think her character was one that got affected after the change in direction on some of the stories. Eva/Tomas/Kat was slowly building for 140 episodes to where Eva and Tomas hook up, Kat discovers them together as she comes to extend an olive branch, and Tomas opts for Kat over Eva with Eva vowing to fight for him.
After Guza leaves, the direction for Eva's character shifts and she's paired with Izaiah. The two have chemistry, but they have little development nor any huge obstacles. Darlene is a promising obstacle plus Darlene vs Leslie is promising...but the whole story has been treated like a C level story.
Still...it at least has some focus unlike Chelsea and her arcs. It would be wise of the show to cut her loose..or even cut loose Tyrell/Samantha..and replace them with Donnell and Deanna...that way Vanessa can be given layers again as she tries to parent..and maybe lure the actor that plays Doug back for some flashback episodes showing him with Vanessa and with the twins during happier times.

Another World Discussion Thread

Based on the prominence of Robert Kelker Kelly and Sandra Ferguson and the two days of relationship stuff I would guess this is about the Valentine for Singles episodes on Feb 9 & 10, 1989.

Queer as Folk

Well, I'm finally nearing the end of having watched this in its entirety and it's fair to say that the UK version is far superior, but then again, being only 10 episodes in total that feels inevitable.
Part of why the OG QaF worked was because it felt like a genuine look at how a lot of gay men are seemingly stuck in a pro-longed adolescence, while the rest of the world keeps moving. Stuart and Vince were stuck in a holding parting because both of them weren't really ready to grow up; Stuart had a successful career, but the emotional maturity of a teenager. Meanwhile, Vince meanwhile might've been wanting more emotionally, but was also stuck in a dead-end career. Nathan of course was only starting out, but he wasn't somehow more emotionally mature or ready to take on adult life with a career.
Still, somehow they all remained likable thanks to the writing and us only getting a slice of their lives. Eventually they all would've needed to move on from each other and likely would've (even if the fantasy ending of Stuart / Vince is okay). I think the issue is that when they tried to stretch this concept in the US version it inevitable became increasingly thin and I guess less and less real to life.
Justin and Brian should've never been a sort of a "one true pairing". For me the show started going downhill once they pivoted towards that - Justin getting that emotional bond he wanted with Ethan, who then betrayed him and his solution was going to be running back to Brian, who was as emotionally stunted as ever? Add that he wasn't even 20 yet. Wouldn't the obvious thing be that Justin would've gone out and started exploring his options rather than hanging onto Brian?
But you can say the same for Michael once he paired up with Ben. Ultimately, I think the US version suffers from the same issue that a lot of shows that are based on a very specific concept and they try to drag it out, namely, why are these people still in each others life by the end of it?
I'm not surprised that the ratings seemed to fall off after season 3.

This was a strong week! I feel confident in feeling as if they've hit their stride and we will ride out the year successfully. Thinking back to things like Winterfest, I was worried the cotillion and tornado would be quickly forgotten but the've done a good job of making both events count.
Focusing on the tornado, I thought this entire week was strong. I love how complicated the Kat and Eva relationship is and I enjoyed the stress about the donor. This reminds me of the type of soap relationships that were the norm in the past but we rarely see today. I thought the way the majority of the family treated Kat was insane. They didn't give her any opportunity to think through what happened before demanding she donate her liver. I even feel like they glossed over the fact that she went through something traumatic herself.
The one thing that would've made this week better for me is if after all of this, Kat wasn't a match. That would've been such a strong friday cliffhanger!
Looking forward to the next few months, I'm curious where they take Leslie and Eva from here. I feel like this would be the perfect opportunity to do a pivot with Leslie. Even the best villains can't always antagonize everyone. I'd like to see her slow down and show real appreciation for Kat. Even better would be if Kat ended up in some mess and Leslie bailed her out. They could also focus on a romance for her instead of just tormenting the Dupree nonstop. Now I'm not saying everybody forgives her and becomes her friend, but a ceasefire has been earned.

Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

I see around the internet that I'm not the only one wondering how the new Sugden, Serena, will fit into the family tree. Some fans are speculating that she might be Joe's secret daughter, but I've also seen some thinking that she could be Peggy's daughter, which is, quite frankly, insane. Do those people realize that Peggy died 53 years ago?! 🙄

BTG: June 2026 Discussion Thread

I like both Eva and Kat. I never hated either one. I do however agree that the show being determined to make Eva an antiheroine is a problem. She should be somewhere between an antiheroine and a villain. Iziah is firmly presented as in between and that's why they totally make sense as a couple.
Matter of fact I might make a list categorizing which characters should be in which moral alignment. And no I don't play Dungeons & Dragons.
