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

      That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.

      Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?

      I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!

      That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.

      On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

      Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?

      I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

      They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
