Yeah… the frat boy brawl was so cliche it wasn’t even funny. And a little unnecessary too. I mean, what was the point of making Dex’s stabbing a mystery, right after it was revealed that Cyrus killed Sam? But whatevs. 

And, I don’t like Curtis being so easily manipulated by Michael. He’s a lot smarter than that.

No character changes more with whoever is writing the show than Cyrus. The scab writers were redeeming him. Mulcahey turned him into a frightened old man and then completely dropped him (probably the best way to handle this mess of a character). The new writers bring him back and turn him into this murdering bad guy. Maybe it will be revealed that, like Heather, he had hip replacement surgery too..

That Cyrus is the murderer is disappointing; it's so cliche and obvious. It should have been more of a mystery and have more to do with Sam's history or the mob. You know if Guza were writing, he would have had one of the many kids on this show be the culprit.

I saw. I hollered. 

Ummm no. I think the scab writers played Cyrus as more of a gray character and to JK's strengths. It was them that revealed to the audience that Cyrus was totally faking his conversion to the audience even as he was feeling a little (but not too much) conflicted about his actions. Shame all the writers after that have forgotten that plot point.

 

But hey...the scab writers were the ones that officially got Sprina together and treated them like an actual couple, right? So...

Nothing against Susan Lucci or Erica Kane or even Pine Valley but the idea of bringing her on the show instead of just a mention of her on the phone is, if you ask me, one of the worst ideas I've heard in about a year. Also no offense intended to the poster of said idea. Just one person's opinion.

This happens on soaps a fair amount. I think it's just a tribute, although maybe part is down to Frank just wanting to brag about having access to AMC characters. 

A shame they never do anything with Loving characters, although I wouldn't want to hear about Gwyn's poisoned hip.

Makes you wonder. They went all in on OLTL characters for a bit, now it's shifted to AMC actors/characters. I'm sure they have some data behind the scenes for the reasoning.

I can tell you that I (as an old AMC viewer) haven't watched a soap since 2013. That was the online version by Prospect Park. But, I am watching GH now. I like Alexa Havins a lot. 

Also, why does almost every female on GH have the same hair color? The blonde with roots showing...

      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."
