The guy cannot stop antagonizing his audience.  It is a shame that he didn't enjoy himself more, and not engage with those who did not approve of his ideas.

To me, it is not about the quality or popularity of the storyline, but why he persists in this troll-like persona online.  I follow him on Instagram, and he has an Instagram-ible life, a beach house, a lovely home in upstate, a loving family.  So, why keep fighting with an audience that didn't embrace him?

By all accounts, being number one on Peacock is an accomplishment, and it is a shame that he can't be satisfied by that, without throwing it back in the faces of his detractors.

I love how all the actors kissed Ron's butt for 7 years including Deidre until he's fired.  Ken knew Ron's "creative" talents from day 1.  Ken hired Ron on the double look a like plot (Bonnie and Hattie) in the first year of his reign of error.  Ron's expensive.  I would guess Paula and Jean are not quite commanding the same salary.  Perhaps, someone pointed out to Ken that Body and Soul was another OLTL regurgitated plot.  But it's not Ron's worst. There are so many plots to choose from, and Ken approved all of them.

It's like that at every single soap, though. You kiss the hand that feeds you until it doesn't anymore. I can only recall a small handful of actors who've talked in a not-so-glimmering light about their head writers while in the regime.

Well it makes sense not to criticize. Just professional really. I'm sure most actors realize the stress of headwriting a show

I'm sure the same holds for writers who are told to write for particular characters, who they don't like. If they had their way, those characters would be gone.

But they don't criticize the actor or character publicly.

      Oohh...now I'm not sure. Long did come back in '87, didn't she. She broke up Ross and Vanessa almost from her first minute back. Van and Ross are at the Country Club when Josh dumps Reva. And Reva dramatically drapes herself on the CC stairs.

      Glad you enjoyed watching. Yes, Michael seems like fun. I am always interested in more of these niche talk show appearances.

      Upon reflection, I think you're right, their chilliness toward each other was more recent. She said women on the show in 1984 were not supportive and she still stays away from them. She seems friendly with Susan Hayes so Deidre is the only woman still around from those days, though I guess Kristian Alfonso and Leann Hunley could also qualify. And it might be someone long gone but who is still present in Suzanne's social circles.

      I don't know.  The animosity seems to be more recent than the mid 80s.  When Maggie was a victim of the Salem Stalker i remember reading an interview with Suzanne where she said they aired the episode(s) surrounding Maggie death in a theatre and made a big deal about it.  Suzanne was very upset about being fired and Dee comforted her and said that they were making such a big deal about it because it was Suzanne/Maggie.  I cannot find the article but I will keep trying. That said Suzanne's comments on Soapy about how some of the female cast members treated her during her illness was disappointing to hear to say the least.

      Anyway... Kristen should have a prison lesbian story arc. And then come out and become obsessed with Marlena so we can move her on from the Brady nonsense. Is that secret room still in the DiMera mansion?

      I'm really liking Izaiah and Eva so far. And why can't I help but feel that something might happen to make Jessica stay in Fairmont Crest permanently?

      So Pam didn't create her? I thought she had the whole of 87-88. I'll look around, thanks for the point in the right direction.

      date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Samantha, accept the fact you were in the wrong and do not deserve your digital devices. Do not like it? Go upstairs. Read a book. Do some knitting. Bradley and Martin's "we get it" to Tyrell was hilarious and absolutely a parent's thing to do. Loving a bit of history of both the Duprees (via Eva) and the Hawthrones (via Izaiah). So cute. Poor June. I am sure she did not purposefully mean to mess up; we have all been there working in customer service. Shake it off and keep on keeping on! Not twice a week for Vernon's cobbler order... Sharon must be using that as payment for their meetings. I appreciate that Ted still cares about the Duprees despite the end of his marriage to Nicole. Not Dana using Peaches' crisis as a way of taking Ted's attention away from a co-worker. Girl, do not be so obvious. Bradley is a man after my own heart with a simply divine chocolate milkshake. That is the way to go. Dana really needs to dial it back. Money will not buy her everything she wants and she will realise it soon enough. And I doubt Shanice is scared off by her idle threats, either. "With all due respect, Ms Thomas, this isn't a shopping mall." Oh, Dr Wilkes just owned Dana's arrogant ass. I love it. Wigs and personas? Okay now, Shanice ate with that read. I like that June assured Bradley that she will not replace him or Martin in the twins' lives. And that blood does not make a parent. Words never rang more true. Jessica reading Samantha was amazing. Dana would want to involve Ted. Her obsession is crossing beyond dangerous boundaries. Not Dana catching Vernon leaving Sharon's room at the country club. That is not good. Not good at all! Notes: Ugh. Not another breakdown from writer2. This week was going so well. Thankfully, Paige is an outstanding scriptwriter (one of this soap's best), and her words today are excellent. The food at Orphey Gene's does look bomb, so I do not blame any of the characters for uptalking it. I would eat there daily if I could. And gain hundreds of pounds, too. David Lami Friebe (Izaiah) continues to make me sick watching him, but he is nice to listen to. I still really like having June as the central person hub at Orphey Gene's. That familiar face you see when you walk in and have scenes. Dana wanting a second opinion means we could have an incoming doctor, right...?
