Hey now, I was always a fan. But of course that predates the board, but hey lol!!!

 

6-3

 

One thing I'm going to definitely miss when PM's name leaves the screen is going to be all the shades of gray. Like Ava...she's been slowly but surely going back to be a villain yet you can see how much she has feelings for Trina. And now here's this talk with Natalia. We all know I'm loving seeing Beast...I mean Brennan...being all of a dangerous and cunning in a way Cyrus never truly was...not to mention charming and not without a sense of humor. Even Carly has her moments. Not all heroes, not all villains.

 

Can't say the same for Valentin lmao. One thing I loved about PM taking over was that it seem like he was surely writing an exit for him and Ava. And I know that has been something that the majority of the people here have been wanting to happen so I was looking forward to it. He was not my favorite Cassandine, but if they are not going to be around, no need for him really. So I was looking forward to him leaving since it gave him direction and a beginning, middle, and end.

 

That said...good cliffhanger with that.  lol. But so was Friday's now that I think about it. And picking up on this episode...I giggled at Jason's sideway shot.

While I love the sentiment,you know we would have to hear the little girl who played Violet sing it because that's where we are at.

I think they were teasing Finn and Alexis, and maybe we would have gotten there eventually. Given the fact that Gregory brought up Finn's fling with Jackie before he died, as well as the brewing rivalry between Tracy and Alexis over Gregory's literary legacy, I cannot imagine a fling between Finn and Alexis wasn't going to happen. I'd suggest shortly after Alexis has to defend Finn when Brooklyn and Chase go for custody of Violet during Finn's drinking (as that's where it seems this is all going as of my viewing of last week's episodes).

Ugh, don't remind me, lol!

It isn't so much that I think they aren't that bad.  But it's not like they're gonna polarize the audience the way other, more toxic couples do on this show.  Besides, I feel like their fans have suffered long enough, and that everyone deserves a payoff eventually, lol.

I never cared about Liz and Jason (which felt like an also-ran of Jason and Robin) in the '90s, but I thought the 2000s revisit was very interesting (and sexy). This was a married woman with several kids who lived a domestic life, had given up her youthful career dreams for her children - a realistic picture that soaps rarely show. But she still had a passion for the dangerous man who got away, and he still wanted her. They fell back together when they were in two very different worlds and she gave him his first child. That's great story. The problem is that once Kelly Monaco re-signed they couldn't get away from it fast enough, because Frons loved her and Guza II was all about the leather jacket ride or die deal with Jason and Sam. Even though Sam has never been more interesting than in that period when she became a villainess and schemer.

I've not been remotely interested in Jason and Liz since, or Jason and anyone. I think the moment has come and gone. But with the right writing, who knows? Unfortunately I think the right writer just left the building, so I'm disinterested.

I will say I had a soft spot for D&C for a long time because of their sense of humor online as people, and their other work. I just don't think they were or are remotely ready for the long haul HWing a soap. I'm sure many of the people I think are terrible HWs are lovely people; many actors swore by Jean Passanante's day to day or breakdown work. But her HW stints are some of the worst I've ever seen anywhere.

While I have zero interest in working in soaps vs. what I do, what you describe is one reason I always kept my life carefully partitioned. If I'd ever gotten the call you would see me nuke as much of my online soap fan footprint as possible lol. Including this post!

In other news, FV appears to have hinted at

Honestly, didn't realize he did read the site. Now his "two million" viewers comment in his acceptance speech makes more sense .

I have a bunch of other interviews, and I must warn people...I had no filter. I shocked myself. Hopefully, it will come off as more funny than rude. Rude wasn't the intent.

Example: I told one DAYS star about the show filming eight million years in advance and asked another actor how their show thought it could make viewers believe their character could possibly become a victim of one particular character without making viewers laugh, among other things I said.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.

      @xtr I loved Martin in Thursday's episode, he was almost a different character. I thought he was flirty, funny, carefree, and giggly. Glad I have someone to share my top 2 women(Nicole and Eva) with, I agree Nicole is the heart of the Dupree family, and also the heart of the show IMO. We rode into the show on the passenger side of her car, lol. What I am enjoying the most about the show, is that they did such a great job character building, because all I care about is the CHARACTER journey. Nicole, Eva, Leslie, Dani, Chelsea, etc. very invested in what's coming next. I even feel that way about Mona, Shanice, and Doug.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Xanthe · Posted

      I know we have discussed the fact that Another World seemed to be planning a location shoot in Finland that got cancelled. I came across this item from the syndicated Soapbox column published June 14, 1982. "Soap operas have been experimenting extensively with on-location shooting in recent years to enhance storylines and increase their viewing audience. A major drawback is the added production costs involved. Another World, for example, cancelled a special trip for Victoria Wyndham (Rachel Cory on the show), who was scheduled to shoot scenes in Finland. The producers felt that the high price tag, along with resentment of the cast members who also wanted to travel but were to be left behind. was enough to scrap the whole project."
