As someone based in the U.K, it’s such a fascinating and disappointing thing that the presentation of dark skinned people (like me) is still such a problem on US (and Australian, to a lesser extent) soaps. And woe betide interracial relationships when a large chunk of the audience crushes on the white character.

It’s not even a thing in the U.K, and just an everyday part of shows and society. Or certainly not as contentious.

Liz, FTW!

Please register in order to view this content

Hopefully, this is the end of her and Finn for good. This relationship never worked, just like the one Liz had before it and hopefully everyone finally realizes that. At this point, I wouldn’t mind her going back to Jason.

Great song!

I assume it's a combo of the show pushing Gregory/Alexis, NLG being older than Easton, the show actively liking to underuse Alexis and overuse Finn, and the fact GH rarely cares about chemistry in couples these days lol.  

I think the actual reason the show vaguely gave is that are both recovering addicts and it wouldn't be a great idea.

I agree I have recently noticed chemistry with them though.

I think she could have power of her story.  I just think LW rolls with the story and doesn't make big demands like some others do.  LW seems like a pretty laid back person that comes and does her job and goes home.  I THINK EK or FV would listen to her if she felt strongly about something.

Granted, I'm not a Jason/Liz fan, but I feel like their fans deserve a good, old-fashioned power ballad as payment for all those years they had to trust the plan, lol.

It wouldn't.  It would be like watching a dinner theatre production of "Days of Wine and Roses."  Or, in their case, "Days of Drugs and Neuroses."

Interesting idea. I can see what you mean. Well, I know of one pairing she feels strongly about & she told a fan who is a friend of mine that it would not be happening, which could of course mean the show doesn't want it also. And, that would be a return to Sonny & Carly, again. I feel like a lot of people are over that, though! How many times have they already gotten back together? 3? Been there, done that. Can we move on?!! As it is she has to play friend/helper to him & for him. I know she & Finola, she & Steve, she & Jagger and she & Brennan enjoy scenes together. But, she is truly a team player.

In this case, however, it doesn't help to have an EP (such as Frank Valentini) who inadvertently reinforces their prejudices by dragging his feet for the longest time on promoting Spencer and Trina's relationship (when it's clear his preference is for lily-white Joss) and then stuffing Trina back into the background as soon as Spencer is killed off.  Call me crazy, but I think we'll see Trina recast at least two more times before that girl ever gets another love interest.

GH OMG!!! NOOOO. My eyes. I can never unsee that. They inflicted a Fizzle Fazzle montage on us. Cruelty beyond measure. This day now goes down in GHInfamy!!! Why was I not warned?!! Have I no true friends?!!!

I guess it was the price we had to pay for Liz to finally be freeeeee! 

I totally hate Becky with helmet hair & knowing that it's because of continuity that we can't have her great curls makes me pretty crazy.

Why can't we have nice things? Because Frank likes to shoot way the hell out of order, worse than movies!!

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.

      Tessa clarified a few years ago that she is gay and not bi.   I find it offensive that the show is teasing her with Daniel. Mariah told Sharon she went emotionally/mentally to a dark place, and while she was out of town on business she got drunk and did something bad.  But Mariah didn't say she cheated.  The show wants us to assume that, but she didn't say that.  She could have taken drugs or who knows what.  All we know is that she feels shame and doesn't want Tessa to know.  Mariah says the inner darkness is due to the longterm influence of Ian in the past, and she hasn't healed from that. With a *good* writer, we could have organic conflict in the Teriah marriage, without cheating.  But JG isn't a good writer.

      Was that before his accident? I think it was. Most of us have never seen him before it happened.

      I wonder if Falcon Crest wasn't seen as macho enough for them.  I first saw Dynasty on FX around 1994 or 1995. I think it ran for a few years, although I may be off as I moved and lost the channel for a while.

      -- The fact that we know the mess that Billy made when he renovated the Chancellor place makes his entire sadsack attitude pathetic. I wanted someone to smack the hell out of him. -- And why did Diane care so much about Billy's opinion beyond hearing he liked it better before? Why continue pressing him on it? Josh Griffith clearly thinks this is a storyline, and it isn't. It never was. -- So Mariah cheated on Tessa offscreen. OF COURSE it was offscreen. Then we got this ridiculous, convoluted explanation of why she cheated, ending in her announcement that she doesn't have any character at all. GMAFB.  -- Now we'll get the cliche garbage of Mariah confessing to Tessa, who turns to Daniel for sex even though she's a lesbian. (Please spare me the comment that Tessa is bi.) -- The excuse for Summer leaving town? Also pathetic. Why in the hell would she have to leave town to find a new creative director for Marchetti?

      Falcon Crest

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      I vaguely recall it surfaced on either TNT or TBS around 1993 or so but I could be wrong about the channel. By 1997 when this article was written Knots was still airing on TNT, Dallas was on the old TNN network (which today is Paramount), and Dynasty was on…well I don’t even recall now but feel like it was either E!  or Bravo. TNN ran Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas together in the evenings for years surprised they didn’t just pick up FC to resurrect the trifecta.
