Fair enough.  When you lay it all out there were some bad stories and characters.  I liked early Sonny/Carly for the most part, actually liked Courtney/AJ, thought the Deception relaunch had it moments, and enjoyed OG Emily and Zander and the beginnings of Jason/Liz.  I also didn't mind Sexis tbh.   But taking a gander briefly at recaps there were probably more misses than hits in that time period. 

I just remember really checking out during mid to late 2003.  I thought the Sam intro was ridiculous, Jason/Courtney are a drag, Dobson, the Panic Room stuff (although I think that was popular), the Lily lookalike, and Carly getting shot in the head by Sonny.  I just couldn't anymore.

Yes! From what I saw of 2002, Carly's presumed death, Sonny & Alexis's affair, Carly & Zander's friendship, Alexis's pregnancy and Kristina Sr's death, Brenda's return were all great... Didn't *Sonny also fake his death around that time, and Carly had to meet with the five families (which was repeated in 2021 lol) Damn that's alot of Sonny centered stuff. The sad part was Rick Webber and Laura's destructions.

From 2003 Ric and the panic room was good. I'm fuzzy on the rest.

Sonny faked his death during Brenda's return but both Carly/Jason knew he was alive.  Sonny had a funeral and everything. She did meet with the five families and had a baseball bat she smashed on a table or something equally silly.  It was better than the 2021 scenes though.

It was heavily centered on Sonny in the early part of the year, but it moves into more Brenda and Jason centered stuff toward the end of the year (which obviously includes Sonny, so I guess that's not a great point).

The Rick/Laura stuff was pretty awful.

So, on to today's show.  Is anyone kind of irritated Brook Lynn ruined Lila's wedding dress for basically no reason?  I know it was 'unsalvageable', but I think I would have just left that dress alone and had Brook Lynn chose her own.  And that's the special dress for Brook Lynn's honeymoon?  Ugh...

  I am 100% sure Lois is going to look hotter and sexier than her own daughter at the wedding.

The combination of Michael, Drew, and Curtis in the same scenes is mind numbing.  Although Nina bursting in was mildly humorous.

I am already resigned to Carly/Jagger and while they really aren't the worst as far as chemistry I am just not looking forward to it.  I agree with whoever said two blondes shouldn't date.  Carly/Jagger look like brother/sister in the most Flowers in the Attic type way lol.  Again, Nina seeing Carly/Jagger was the best part of those scenes.

It's still extremely hard for me to believe the 5 star Metro Court has fallen so far solely because of Nina.  Olivia isn't handling the room service department?  She doesn't even let people touch the Quartermaine kitchen.

Is the Intruder Office in the Metro Court?  Because Nina was really zooming around town quite quickly if not.  Clearly, I am about to start a Nina fan club at this point, but she's been the MVP of the last few episodes.

You know, TJ probably should have expressed his thoughts before Kristina was actually impregnated.  I don't think TJ was ever very clear about his ambivalence until today.

Yay for Alexis getting a hearing about her law license!!

I feel like Anna/Valentin have the same boring conversation about Pikeman all the time.  It's not interesting at all.

Ha!  I originally typed The Spectator and knew that was wrong.  Thanks for the correction, but don't blame me if I call it the Intruder again lol.   

I am sure they are setting up Nina's fall and Carly's gain to get the Metro Court back, but it's not even believable.  And IIRC, if Carly didn't like a guest she would just barge into their rooms unannounced and have fights in the lobby.  But, BEST. BOSS. EVER.

    • I just got to it!  Assuming you mean the scene where they got into Marian's computer and it's Beaty's Marian saying "Very good, you guessed the magic word.  Today, the role of Marian Crane is being played by..." and then Wolf's Brent saying "Brent Lawrence. That's right folks, I'm baaaack.  And I have Lucy..." This makes me want to know even MORE about the behind the scenes. Like did Beaty already film the Marian clip while he was dressed up, but then they couldn't film his Brent scene so they used Wolf? I don't hate it, I really like that they were able to use Beaty's Marian in that way. And LOL yes, the LESBIAN question, so funny. This story's climatic ending is really paying off. I'm not to the end yet, but enjoying the ride.
    • I remember some of it. SO different from Billy. He was the hospital heartthrob. I have such a clear memory of Rita seducing him. I swear to God, Santana's Samba Pa Ti was playing in the background. It's funny the details you remember.  Honestly, anything that would have prevented him from being pulled into the Reva vortex would have been O.K. with me.
    • I haven't seen the episode yet. I still need to watch today's Days of Our Lives and General Hospital.
    • You are so very welcome!

      She got her guarantee. We love to see it.
    • And then, when you win, you can give him a big hug
    • Yes, this is Soapsuds. I'd like to appear on your show but Chandler Massey must be my celebrity companion. I'm surprised no one posted about Chandler appearing on the game show. He must have taped these around December, as he has the same style of hair and facial hair as he did when he did an interview for a 90s Christmas.
    • The timeline on Days of Our Lives is verging on absurd in the best way. Tate yelled that Johnny has been stringing him along for “months,” which is technically true—after all, they first discussed the adoption in March, and now it’s May. However, within the show's internal timeline, EJ was shot just two days ago, meaning Amy met with EJ, Paulina, Johnny, and Chanel at most four days ago. So when Tate starts swinging at people for backing out of parenthood, it really depends on which universe we’re inhabiting. That said, I appreciate how cleverly the EJ mystery is unfolding. They neatly closed the glaring loophole everyone spotted yesterday: the SIM card wouldn’t capture the shooting, because EJ pocketed it beforehand. I like the momentum in how suspects are being methodically eliminated. (Cough cough, like the little girl upstairs whose mother refuses to send her to therapy.) Meanwhile, setting aside the online component, I thought only men were being auctioned off. Now Cat was on the block too? And Chad somehow didn’t keep up with bidding on his phone? We understand the intent, but it would have been far cleaner for Cat to simply run into EJ while picking up a blouse she left behind at the mansion. On the other hand, I hope they don't pursue a drug dependency storyline for EJ. He’s only misused medication once, and even after previous shootings, he was never depicted as reliant on painkillers. His past crimes were never fueled by addiction, and tying sobriety into his character now feels misplaced. This isn't so much a criticism as a reflection on my experience watching the episode. As Marlena maintained a stoic front with her self-absorbed children—each eager to discuss only themselves—I found myself anticipating a quiet scene of her breaking down alone in her office. It wasn’t meant to be; I can’t fault the writers for not filming the scene I envisioned nine months after the fact. Yet, Marlena’s solitude stayed with me. She stands surrounded by family and friends, but as the pillar of strength they all lean on, she is left with no one to support her now that John is gone. It seems so much lonelier than Julie or Maggie's widowhood, because those women had a different relationship with their family and kids.
    • Today's episodes of GH and BTG showcase that when you have great writing,production, and performances, you achieve  great soap opera. Bravo.
