No, the gay characters have a major storyline and in fact the secret about one of them (which doesn't appear to be sex-related) is already a source of blackmail for the core family. The issue for me atm is that the lead character from the core family (a gay Congressman) is so far quite wooden. I am not going to judge them on not making out yet since it's only Day 3, they've only both been on two days and the marriage is very clearly troubled from the first moment we see them together. I expect an interloper or two will appear.

I actually think Rena's return has been a success in many ways - she fits right in again, livens up the show everyday she's on and has not missed a beat as Lois after decades. The problem is more that they've give her no real story or man of her own, because Frank does not want to invest in veteran story unless it's one of his chosen few. And she should be frontburner in her own right, not just supporting possibly the most boring couple on the show (and Kai and Trina are a close second).

This f*ckin show, man.

I’ll never understand how they constantly expect us to hate one character who does something bad but then love another character who does the exact same thing

And yeah, hiring Joss to work for the WSB is like hiring Luigi Mangione to work in the healthcare industry. 

I did like Gio vs. Tracy though. They’re gonna be great together once the truth about Gio comes out. 

And, I know Chase meant well with his suggestion to Brook Lynn but yeah…

I see your point.  I definitely agree she fits right in and hasn't missed a beat.  That is what makes the whole return more frustrating to me.  Lois doesn't need to spend all her time with her boring spawn and her infertile husband. At this point Brook and Chase could leave the show forever and I wouldn't miss them at all.  It's a shame that this is what Ned and Lois's daughter has become.

I am embarrassed to admit this, but I actually thought Trina/Kai were kind of cute the last few days.  That doesn't excuse the non story of this pairing or anything.  It's just the first time I saw a bit of spark between the actors.

*falls out*

 

jk. I admit that I like them together, but part of that is down to keeping them (or most couples on this show) out of forced situations vs situations where their personalities just naturally come together.

 

I'm sorry that you are feeling frustrated by what's going on with Lois. It definitely is feeling like the writers don't know what to do with Rena. Sad since her return started off good and strong. But you know my thoughts on the start of it. Now? Ewww.

It was real posting about GH with ya'll but BTG has debuted and I only have time/room for one daytime soap. I may check in from time to time but I cant play catch up anymore. This Joss as WSB agent is a good time to bow out

Where is James? I want to see him every week.

I like where they are going with Joss and Gio, but Trina and Kai are still boring.

I think that Drew will go full villain and then be killed off. Michael will then return and Willow will reunite with him.

I feel you on that. I have been enjoying you on BOTH boards.

 

And while I'll be starting on this week this weekend...that Joss plot turn is making me hold off cuz...WHY? 

 

 

tbf, it seem like they have been setting up for a murder mystery for ages with the target always moving.  So long that...especially with Drew...it has been a running joke (at least with me) here on the board.

      I was confused too, but I think it was always a "tribute thread" (this one and OLTL's were created when their cancellations were announced). They just changed the show abbreviations to their titles spelled out, I guess to make the board just a little bit more uniform. I was lost, too lol

      Well... I am. I think she's losing her initial menacing presence. Slowly but surely. I need the crazy dialed back. But as I said... this is very miniscule negative reaction. I am loving the show right now. We'll see how they'll continue after the fireworks.

      I'm not seeing that right now. I'm stepping out on faith and believeing MVJ will not turn "Silk" into a ridiculous caricature.

      One little... very little... tiny... minuscule negative comment. I was debating if I should care to say it... In some ways... Silk has been acting clownish... I think they need to dial it back, because if this continues with the current pace... she'll be worse than Sheila in terms of getting totally predictable and not menacing anymore. TMG is one hell of an actress... I just want to see a more normal and less clownish Silkpress in the coming weeks*months. We need to dial down the wigs too. It's becoming a funny caricature and we don't want that. Maybe we do, I'm not sure. I just like her more menacing and sinister than... "Hahhahahah what is she wearing today". That's a personal preference.   So far... I am okay with it... but I have fears this may turn into a really tired joke in the future. I want TMG as long as possible on my screen!

      ALL: What are your lost soap media "holy grails" for 2025?

      By All My Shadows · Posted

      Not really short-lived as GH went to color in 1967, so the blue background actually lasted about twice as long as the black background. You can see it at the very beginning of this set of clips from 1974:

      Also would like to put it out there in the universe, as I often do, that the wait for any AMC from 1972-1976 has been too damn long. At this point, it is the only long-running soap (10+ years) that has absolutely zero video clips from that time period online. We have either whole episodes or clips from every year of the show's run except those five, which happen to be the exact years when one of my favorite characters I've never actually seen, Margo Flax, was a major player. Justice for Margo, please.

      ALL: Soaps paying homage to classic moments by recreating them

      By All My Shadows · Posted

      Both EE and Corrie remind me of RC's OLTL, where maybe, just maybe, if we keep bringing up the past in cheesy, forced ways, the audience will transfer their positive memories of better days onto what we're giving them now. I used to love that kind of crap, but it became so constant and transparent with OLTL, not to mention obnoxious as hell. Like when they had KDP singing the Peabo Bryson theme over the opening sequence for an episode or two. I've been reading little blurbs about Sonia's exit, and they all mention trumpets as if the she had grown up and became a trumpet virtuoso. It's too sitcommy to me, just like Bianca being damn near 50 and still wearing the jacket and hoops. But then they like to introduce new young female characters and put them in a metallic jacket and hoops so that the audience will like them right away. Things just hit better when it's more of an "If you know, you know," type of thing. Like Max watching Stacey's plane leave in 2010 as Stacey gazes down at the Thames in reference to the opening sequence...just like when Phil watched Kathy's plane leave in 1998 as Kathy gazed down at the Thames in reference to the opening sequence. It's like the more "iconic" the original scene is, the less effective the later allusion to it is. B&B and Y&R recreating their first scenes were perfect because we don't get hit over the head with how incredibly iconic those scenes were to begin with.

      Ted has been too-good-to-be-true-on-the-surface guy from the get go. It's always these guys that end up having a secret mistress with 2 children on the side or are secretly bisexual and sleeping with men while they wifey thinks she is living the dream. Even the way Dani was talking about them in the beginning... I knew it was coming. The show was hinting at it. And it came.  I have nothing against the show writing a second affair, when it's used to present this exact type of message. That the two sisters end up dealing with a similar catastrophe. I would have had problems with it... if it was not written the way it is. But I have no problems with it right now. And I love how the focus is not just on the affair, but on Ted's overall character. His dark side. And, no, you don't need to be a serial killer or a lunatic with a knife to be a bad guy. Sometimes just making bad decisions that end up hurting your entire family makes you that.
