Is that the girl that played Paloma? Silvana something?

Weird that out of everyone, they chose her picture.

Mistakes were made.

GL #1 and DAYS #2?  I'll take it  I was worried at first they left GL off the list, only to find out they saved it for the top spot. 

Although I question the inclusions of B&B and PASSIONS - one of which, I'd swap with GENERATIONS - it's really not a bad list.  (I mean, we have to be realistic: no one's gonna include LOL, LIAMST or SS, lol).

I feel that B&B has an unfair reputation. Yes, it's been bad for a number of years now (with some occasional bright spots), but what seems to be overlooked is that for many years it was a solid, good soap.

Maybe there's some die-hard LOVING fans out there who are pissed... 😂

Did you like the Bill Bell years at least?

Yes, when Bill Bell was in charge.

Not really.  There were parts of it that I liked - mostly anything to do with Sally or Stephanie - but overall, I thought the acting was atrocious and the storylines watered-down Y&R.

Thanks for the answer @Khan. I also liked Stephanie and Sally, and I agree that many of Bill Bell's storylines on B&B were dust offs of Y&R storylines.

B&B was developed by Bell as a potential cash cow for his family that he wouldn’t have to split ownership and profits with another entity for. Y&R was where his heart always laid, but he knew having independent ownership of a long-running serial would be a better means of generational wealth for his family. That’s how I’ve always seen it - business driven more than creative driven. Not to say he didn’t care about the show, but I think his reasons for creating it were very different than his reasons for creating Y&R the decade before.
