I think RSW and Abigail Klein have decent chemistry and at this point narratively their characters have to be together properly so it doesn't feel like there's unfinished business if either of them ever do move on, but fundamentally I'll always find it so creepy that they ever got together in the first place. Yeah, they're not biologically related, but they have been family their entire lives. It's weird. This better be the catalyst to making Joy more of a vixen. She and the show needs this.

Another example where something serious is happening, and Leo just looks like a dolt. He would be a smidge more tolerable if actually acted like a human being in these kinds of moments.

Other than that Leo scene, all the characters fainting and Abe believing he figured out who is targeting the show did come off sort of exciting to me.

Don't let him win! He wants us to quit watching 

But if you do, I'll give you the signal whenever there's something worth seeing 

I could've gotten behind it if it hadn't been so forced... and so slanted in favor of Alex.

They didn't even need to drop the family connection either, IMO. All it would've taken was a simple throwaway line that Alex had always had a crush on Stephanie, even when they were kids. 

And this would've been the first time that she actually returned his feelings. 

Because nothing bad can happen to precious Leo

Another DREADFUL Body & Soul episode. I mean, it can't get any worse.

B&S is run by idiots and written by an idiot, and the entire cast is people off the street who announce they're quitting every other day.

These actors must have been horrified getting those scripts.

Fair warning, y’all. Today was horrible.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say this was one of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen. The only reason I’d say don’t skip it would be just to see how awful it was. 

And today must have been a Jamey episode too, so of course, that’s just makes a bad situation even worse. The huge soap opera fan who doesn’t know jackshit about what soap opera is

With the way that Abe’s been written lately and how Seth Burns was written today, maybe he’s projecting his own issues just as much as Ron does. 

Sorry to say it, but not only do both of these clowns deserve to be run out of this business on a rail but they need to get their asses beat too. They are seriously one of the worst, if not, the worst team in Soap history and thank God somebody finally broke them up.

It's sad how hacks continue to be rewarded for their awful writing.

Thanks for the warning about today's episode. I'm not watching it!

And this is why I was worried about BTG.

So many people are like, "Oh, he's just a breakdown writer" but yeah, so is Jamey 

I could totally see him purposely writing Mike Manning's character and just the female characters in general, as nastier or un-rootable in episodes that he works on.

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.

      Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

      I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
