I actually think a lot of soap viewers are above the level of intelligence of regular tv viewer. So I don't agree with the statement that majority are stupid. 

It's just that the most vocal ones on social media, are not the most bright ones. 

And I think even a goat will recognize how bad Bold is. It's way past this point and it's not the level of intelligence of the viewers making writers d'ump things down. 

It's lazy bad writing that attracts bad viewers, not the other way around.

lol thanks guys, I had to let that one out. Twitter especially is full of idiocy when it comes to soaps. I've seen people literally say something happened on a soap only for nothing remotely close to that happen

Some truly watch the version's they have in their head's LMAO

One thing I forgot to mention and comment on... based on the past couple of episodes. Wow... there is really a drastic contrast in male performance power. Brava to SK for finding the emotion in attempt to make us believe Sheila was a human being - only he could do that. He needs to get that Emmy nod soon. Fingers crossed.

And Lib-Biberty also gave his all, wooden and paralyzed performance in the league of Ronn Moss's masterpieces. But definitely better than some of his last tries. I think if he continues acting in this show for at LEAST 10 years, he will improve.

@Jeff You're absolutely right about KB's status with the show. It was widely known that KB signed a contract that kept her on until early 2024. It's absolutely plausible that B&B let her contract expire with no guarantee that she would be back. In fact, they may have told her Sheila is done. Even if they said that, do I believe there was a 'Sheila's dead. wink-wink'? Definitely.

Sheila being alive certainly generated almost 500 comments on TVLine - that is so far beyond the normal commentary, it's crazy! Honestly, I never believed a soap character could generate that kind of commentary there - especially from B&B. The Halloween tribute episode was one of B&B's highest rated of 2022. Like it or not, Sheila is important to B&B.

Honestly, homicidal Sheila never made sense. Sh*tstirrer Sheila is what people loved to watch. Bring that character back, please.

I actually agree with this, but I don't think he is capable of doing it.

But the conniving smart... rising to high power Sheila from 1992-1996 IS something a lot of people don't know... and judge the character based only on the current status.  

But at this point... Bradley has shown he has no interest in this style of writing and character development. Sheila in the 90s was a real human being, now she is a cartoon. I don't know if there is coming back from this. I doubt it.

I should back off or Jeff?

I know he loves his Sheila and Liberty Biberty Guy and I respect that.

I just know this show can be so much better but Bradley isn't even trying. He lost two great SW that could've HW the show but now they are gone. And guess what? Both are HWs.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

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

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
