  1. So much word to this post. I don't get why Chloe is catching so much shit for her behavior. The woman lost a child in the most cruel way, it was a horrific death all the way up to the way she found out who killed her child. Still, her grief is glossed over and treated like it's horrible. We had to watch for months as Victoria and Billy boo-hoo-hoo-ed all over GC. It was all about Billy and we rarely saw Chloe and when we did she was consoling everyone else, poor Victoria, poor Kevin. What about Chloe? Who was consoling her? Even her grief was made all about Chelsea or Adam. I got so sick of it and now I'm positively furious that EH's character is being written as some shrew who is being so cruel to poor Chelsea. it just makes me hate Chelsea more. Chelsea was nothing more than a Chloe knock off wannabe snarky fashionista, but imo EH does it better and the writers never gave her a chance. I guess EH just wasn't smart, she should have gotten engaged to a CBS exec.
  2. I wouldn't be surprised if Muhney is on twitter under another name and posting as just a regular joe. I think it would be really hard for him to stay off social media. I'll bet he's somewhere, we just don't realize it's him.
  3. *waving* I'm a lifetimer too. Marshmallow your story about your grandmother could be mine! I started watching at the knee of my abuela who could not be interrupted when her "stories" were on. My mom had always been an ABC watcher so when I saw YR which was so unlike anything I'd ever witnessed in my home. There was always something so unique about the lighting, the music and the sets and those things combined with the stories and characters really set it apart in my mind. I still have vivid memories of when Katharine Chancellor was first brought into the show. Once I saw her with her huge jewels on her long manicured talons while wearing any number of muumuus she owned; all while flashing those beautiful blue eyes as she enunciated every word just so and I knew there was no looking back. God Rest Jeanne Cooper. I'm a native Texan who moved to Oregon about 24 years ago, I love both places and consider them home. I always enjoyed TWoP and even though I haven't been as into YR these past few months, TWoP was always my place to keep up and get the daily laugh. There have been some fabulously witty and snarky posters over the years and I'm glad to see that some have moved over here. With any luck there will be more and perhaps some old timers showing back up. I agree with Stewed, there seems to be a good vibe here already and I'm looking forward to seeing what this place can become!
  4. YES to your whole post, but that bolded part is what was seriously lacking with phuck. MS emasculated JM, not just acting, but even physically. She had a way of swallowing up the scene physically. SC is a naturally sultry woman. She has a grace in the way that she moves which just compliments the men she is paired with regardless of their stature. JM needs that especially because he is not a strong actor. He is one who really does rely on the beefcake, sex and romance which he does well. MS is not good at any of that and is not a particularly graceful or sensual woman. She has a tall clumsy body and every time she wanted to drape herself all over JM it just ruined what he NEEDED to bring. Don't even get me started on how she decimated Phyllis and Jack. The mark of a good actor/tress is the ability to transfer what is on paper to the screen and make fans believe it, regardless of what the actor/tress feels or any tension that may be there between the actors. MS could never do this and that's why she sucked. She had possibly one of the most talented andt highly regarded leading men in the industry in PB a chance to rebuild a couple that was so beloved and could have been great. Instead the egomaniac tanked it because she wanted to be paired with beefcake younger than her so she could hold on to some image she had cultivated in her mind as the sexiest sexy that ever sexied. Stupid bitch. Good riddance.
  5. I thought this deserved its own running thread. We've certainly witnessed quite a few meltdowns on twitter and read about the feuds backstage. Since YR is known for having one of the most toxic sets in the daytime industry I suspect there will be more.
  6. I really don't get all the pearl clutching about Adam and Nick both wanting Sharon after being with Victor. Nikki and Victoria both shared several men, Cole, then Deacon. Ashley and Tracey were both with Brad. . If I recall Ashley was not only with Victor but also had a fling with his brother. Then there's Jack and is father who both bedded Jill. There are more, but I'll stop here. For me, Sharon being with Victor is gross only because it's Victor regardless of whether he had sons or not. A beautiful young woman like her letting an old skeevy perverted man like that who wears mom jeans touch her in any fashion is just wrong. I used to be such a shick fan back in the day but JM killed all that for me when he started acting like MS had somehow made him some sort of superstar. If anything she ruined his acting and his character by making him look like a clueless frat boy. He should be kissing Sharon Case's feet for making him even relevant, without her he would have never achieve super couple status. He might like to think Phick were it, but as is evidenced they were never all that and had no staying power. Ten plus years and still going, Shick have their fans, still as toxic and wrong as Sharon/Adam were they were sizzling and delicious. NOLA will forever be etched in my brain.
  7. I'm going with EB,. Based on insider info, feuds with costars, temper tantrums on set with writers and even his interviews, he thinks Victor should always win, have the last word and be superior to women. I will throw a ticker tape parade the day that old goat leaves the show. He has never been YR to me. I was watching the show before there ever was A Victor Newman and imo, the show was given star power and glamour the day Jeanne Cooper appeared with her jeweled talons and blazing blue eyes. I could never take my eyes off her when she was on.
  8. Meh I don't think there is any such thing as an unpopular opinion because there usually seems to be good company in those opinions. That said, I guess it's not cool say Michelle Stafford and her web series suck, but there you go. I think many in the soap industry know it too, but are just to kind to say she is a talentless moron who let her ego get in the way. She had a great soap gig that paid well and she could probably still have that job if she hadn't insisted on being the star. I'll forever be grateful to JFP for finally doing what needed to be done, harnessing that rabid bitch and sticking her in a kennel. Good riddance and stay gone. The other one? Not getting what is so great about NIkki and Victor. They were never all that great imo. I think Bill Bell was great and because he created opulent sets with beautiful lighting, music and glamour around Nikki/Victor, we were able to look beyond how dysfunctional and abusive their relationship has always been. For me, I found Victor at his best with Ashley and then later on Hope. I thought he was truly tender and very endearing with Hope. They were a great loves story that should have kept going. I never got his fascination with that trailer park stripper and I still don't. Nikki is a trashy bawdy dame who still has no class. ETA: Liking Sharon/Adam, that's definitely an unpopular opinion, though again there were a lot of us who preferred them together than apart.
