I have it!

The only way to cure it is to meet Chandler Massey!

I can also be cured by seeing Chandler back on Days or BTS permanently!

It was boring. Let's face it. Would a guy who looks like Will have to intern at a fashion company to get attention from girls? He acts like he's never been around a hot girl before.

The least they could do is have some gay guys working there eyeing Will up and down. THAT would be realistic. But yeah, I know that in Brad Bell's fashion world, there is no gay except for a flaming wedding planner every few years.

You need evidence as to why daytime soaps are failing and losing viewers?

Netflix has a Top 10 series like Heartstopper with LGBTQ+ teenage characters leading the show, and a network soap about a FASHION HOUSE is afraid to have a single gay character.

It's insane, and it's operating out of FEAR of losing blue-haired grandmas who don't know how to use their remotes.

Even Y&R is better, though I hesitate giving them any praise. We get Tessa and Mariah, but they have no storyline, and it's clear that Y&R is deathly afraid of showing gay males.

@ranger1rg Yeah, I fact checked the article that made the 35 claim. It's shaky. I'd bet it was in the upper 40s.

In January Deadline published the following: 'The GH average viewer age is up 4 percent from 65.6 to 68.1; Y&R is up 1 percent from 69.6* to 68.7 , and B&B is up 2 percent from 68.2 to 69.4.'

Y&R's base number is off. The original article has not been updated. Regardless, they were far higher than I imagined. OC, if you included streaming viewers like me ... it'd drop a bit.

Bottom line: is that it does impact what stories the shows can tell.

 Heart Faylor is iconic. 

BTW - I watched yesterday's episode and I'm getting kinda irked by the way Will is written. It's just strange and bizarre and he is not talking or acting like a young man his age. They are writing him like it's some kind of naive character like Hope Logan or something. Acting so dorky with these random models, like he hasn't seen a girl so pretty in his life. Who talks like that? Who says Sweet! when they invite themselves to some girl's table like that. Is this supposed to be a cool, rich-boy heir to the Spencer legacy... or a dork that hasn't left his room playing video games? Once again Bradley Bell struggling to find a proper way to write in a NEW character. It's giving me early RJ vibes to how confused everything is. Why isn't he some type of antagonist or just... a rebel that hates his whole family - starting with the Whore Brooke who f-cked his father when he was a baby. I'm kinda DONE with these vanilla safe-character types. Kinda bored with it. And a cute face doesn't help me at all. I'm not watching soap operas for cute faces or bodies. Once again the problem is not the actor - he is quite charming and HAS more talent than some of the Emmy nominated actors on the show, actually. But... it's just so boring. I don't want to see another RJ for the next 6 months. 

And Brooke/Bill - Taylor/Ridge - how more basic can this get? Isn't Brooke tired of these used-up whore-men? She's had them, married them, gotten pregnant by them... isn't it time to move on? By the time Brooke realizes she needs to do something new... she'll be 70. Girl, the lingerie will only take you so far.

Overall, the show has gotten so stale and so boring, only the dying Eric period can rival it in terms of how boring it is. 

And once again - where is the power struggle between Steffy and Brooke?  Why isn't the Bedroom line walking on the runway? It would have been so iconic to have Brooke actually walk on the runway and have some type of failure and critics to start writing that she's a has-been and etc... and that could have spiraled her out of control. It would have been so much more interesting than this... Brooke is the most beautiful woman in the world... any age, any time... boring crap. Also... Why isn't Brooke doing SOMETHING for the company instead of asking people how they are and smiling?  WTF, Bradley. DO SOMETHING WITH THESE CHARACTERS!

P.S Carter needs to do an STD test after he sleeps with Hope. She's so irresponsible. Just in the last year, she's been in love with every guy that talked to her.

The Carter - Hope relationship is completely inappropriate. Carter is in a position of power as COO, Hope is not. Carter is in a position to make decisions that can impact Hope's line. They just demonstrated that with Carter reworking the figures - coincidentally now that Carter is interested in Hope, they're *now* favorable.

And not only that... they are once again using Carter only for a sex-leading-lady-prop in this show. It's quite disturbing and disgusting that Bradley Bell thinks it's okay to do this time and time again. Carter is so underused and so... underappreciated in this show. Now they are once again using him and he will be dropped in no time. I can't stand it.

AMEN. I am quoting this here, because I didn't want to follow this on in the BTG topic.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
