Contessa, I guess we'll agree to disagree. When Rachel is onscreen, what I feel is annoyance and irritation. But I totally respect that you disagree with me on this, as well as your right to express your opinion.

Not a problem, not at all. 

With Violet, I look & say: I get it. They wanted to create a precocious child that was also lovable, like Young Robin and then Young Emma & OH MY GOD, could they have possibly screwed that up any more than they actually did. And, then like CarolineG mentioned, they have her SING!!!

With Rachel I look at her & think, Kristen & Brady created THIS & she deserves every ounce of her evil self. The Bad Seed? Could be. But remember, that is a classic.

Has Kayla been working at the hospital all night?

Exhaustion is the only excuse why she wouldn't order x-rays or an MRI for Sarah's spine after being hit by a car.  BTW, I hate temporary paralysis stories, where the character magically rises from their wheelchair due to the power of love. 

Also, to me, Rachel is the good kind of brat because she's self-aware of her power.  While Violet's singing is enough to drive a man to drink.  Is it possible that Rachel started the campaign to recall Paulina as mayor?

Contessa and Caroline, thanks for elaborating. Yes, I certainly wouldn't mind if Violet didn't sing any more. But otherwise, I don't feel too strongly about her. On the other hand, Rachel presses my buttons: She has this habit (although I admit she's starting to get away from it) of saying something nasty to an adult (especially Brady) and then looking so pleased with herself that she said it. Then recently she gave a reply of "obvi" to something Brady (at least I think it was him) said. I thought that was something that would be said by someone 3 or 4 years older than she is, so I'd say that Violet hasn't totally cornered the market on precociousness. If Rachel would simply be a "Bad Seed, like you mentioned, Contessa, I might appreciate that a bit more, but the snark ruins her for me. This is basically a gut reaction for me, and not necessarily better or worse, or more or less correct, than either of your opinions or those of others who've previously been negative about Violet on this board.

It literally did.  Her own father

 Which I am sure was your point.

It's kind of weird because Kayla did say she ordered some tests on Sarah's spine and it came back clear, so I don't know.  Maybe Kayla can't read X-Rays.

Rachel is annoying as well.  I just think she's the type of kid Brady and Kristen deserve.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.
