    The next step is they will quietly fix the issue and then continue pretending there was never anything wrong.
  2. Thanks for the info on Laurelton, I really didn't want to wade through it all, so it helps pare it down. I'm watching the start of Sean and Monica's affair. Before it started, Monica was convinced Alan was cheating on her but I never found enough of the story to see if it was true. This was Dec 85. Does anyone recall? It's bugging me lol.
  3. I'm wondering what the Dallas fans think of Dynasty? Original recipe. I tried it a few months ago bc the eps have been airing on TV, but I couldn't get into it, although I'm a soap fan Not sure if I'm just soaped out or not, but I couldn't get past the first couple eps. Never saw Dallas, too young.
  4. I'm almost at the end of it. I did skip a lot, but I started to watch a bit more of it at the end when Frisco was working with Sean. This is sort of the conclusion I've come to. I havent even seen clips of him, so I guess I'll find out. But I've been trying to figure out the order. I think I'm around Dec 1985. So I was thinking of watching some of Monica/Sean, and then Laurelton, and then Mr.Big/Duke is the order? Although I'm not sure how much of Laurelton I'll be into. I will probably only watch Lucy's scenes to see how she starts. I sort of feel like I'm on the downward slope of good GH in the 80s. I have watched 94-2003 ish. So it's just 86-94 left, and I'm not sure how much it will appeal to me. I've been tempted lately to go back to the late 70s/early 80s, when the Qs were really good.
  5. I'm at the part where Blake and Alan Michael sleep together. I think if Ross died, she should've ended up with AM rather than Frank. But I'm not planning on watching after 2003. I've read a lot of complaints about the Buzz Cooper character, but he's just startling here. As an SB fan, I do like Justin Deas, but what is with the weird half accent lol. Watching him and Maeve Kincaid in scenes together is fun, bitchy Vanessa is the best Vanessa. ETA oh they are taking a looooong time to bring in Marj Dusay. I guess it took them quite a while to figure out what to do when BM left. I do know the story On that, but I was expecting Dusay by now.
  6. I've just started watching Archer and Stranger Things. On the topic of Archer- I'm on season 3 and I just watched the ep where they're taking a terrorist across the border into Canada. As a Canadian I have to say- It's completely unrealistic, bc in one scene there are two groups of mounties (one of whom might be terrorists masquerading as mounties) and the two groups pull guns on one another. Not one 'I'm sorry, eh' among the bunch. There should be at least 4 or 5 I'm sorry, eh's across the 2 groups as they were facing off. Yesterday in the grocery store I slightly bumped into this woman while walking by her. I said Sorry. The woman following her (thus walking towards me) then said sorry to me, just in solidarity I guess although she was like a foot away when I bumped into the other woman. I managed to not say sorry to the second woman in return, bc otherwise we would've all been there for like half an hour going round apologizing 😆
  7. Taxi is great, but the lack of continuity is so weird given how TV evolved. Like I think in one or two eps Tony adopts a kid and then the kid just vanishes.
  8. From what I recall, everyone thought the thing with Lane and Zach was terrible. Logan- maybe more of a mixed bag. I can't remember, I didn't pay much attn to Rory's storylines. Funny I was considering recently whether I will ever do another rewatch, and I probably will, just not sure when. Old shows I am watching- Bates Motel. Man Vera Farmigia is incredible. I'm on season 3 and just watched the ep where Caleb basically collapses saying he's sorry. So intense. I hate this part of the show, bc I hate what ultimately happens to Norma and Romero.
  9. I read Carlin's family are suing. I hope others follow suit bc this will only get worse and grosser.
  10. @Shannon L. the thing with Lane and Zach having sex once was terrible. I didn't mind them as a couple, but how it was handled was awful. Emily eh. What season are you on, 6? I vaguely recall some eps where she was supportive of Lorelai in s6 and 7 but it's hard to recall the details due to the rage blackouts I was having. I don't know why GG is the one show I just can't get over it lol.
  11. I've been watxhing 85. Never seen any of this before. Aztec Treasure- was really interesting in the beginning with the various schemes and conflicts bw Sean, Anna, and Robert. However, by the time they were on the train- man that dragged. Felt like they were on that train forever. So Asian Quarter- I'm skipping alot bc I'm just not into the stuff with the pearls but- I'm not into kids, don't have kids, usually ff kids in soaps lol- but Robin, Robert, and Anna are pretty cute and just have some great chemistry. I don't know what it is, it just works. So I've mainly been watxhing scenes among the three of them, or just Anna and Robert. It really is amazing how KM grew with the show. Something like that is why Infind the soap genre so special and unique, there are stories and characters built over a lifetime in a way that no other genre can do Anyway my question is about 86. I wonder if the story with Anna and Mr Big or whatever the next crime saga is - is any good? I want to watch it but if Robert's gone it has less appeal for me. Kind of torn on it.
  12. I've been watching but I must say I've become completely obsessed with Guiding Light, so that has really taken over. I really hate Charles Bateman's CC. I just watched 89 and Lane Davies is so good and Bateman is so stiff. I would love to know what he thought. The clothes they put Eden in were some of the ugliest outfits I've ever seen.
  13. I will probably give it a try, but I'm not sure when. Sometime later this year. Mostly bc I think that and OLTL are the only other two I have any interest in. If available. I'm just starting 1993 and I'm struggling with a lot of the storylines other than Blake and Ross. I read 1993 and 1994 aren't very good. -I hate baby storylines, (and I hate Nadine), so the stuff with Nadine pretending to be pregnant isn't of much interest. I'm looking forward to Billy dumping her though. -The storyline with Jenna and Roger- the thing with Henry pretending to be her father just seems beyond stupid, but this seems like it will get better so I'm paying some attn to it. -Harley and Mallet- meh. This is probably a UO but I find Mallet unlikeable at the best of times. The actor isn't great imo, and the character doesn't help bc all he does is bark and bitch and fight, and I'm just not into it. -Alan-Michael/Eleni/Frank- I'm sort of watching off and on, but again baby storylines don't interest me, and I kind of think Eleni is an idiot. -The stuff with Ed cheating on Maureen- I probably should pay more attn to this than I have. I don't mean to be so critical lol! It's the way of soaps, they have peaks and valleys, so I'm still into it, just being patient.
  14. I was skimming this this thread and realized I posted back in 2018/2019 as I was watching the early 80s of the show. I'm now up to 1992 fall. This is the first time I've seen this. Holy smokes the storyline with Blake and Ross, and then with the two of them and Holly and Roger is riveting. Just a great story story, with the whole history built up. However, I am assuming it will start to decline overall as the 90s progress. The rest of the storylines- I'm not a fan of Harley and Mallet, I just don't like Mallet as a love interest, all he does is bark and bitch. Not into Eleni and Frank, Elena not telling Frank why she dumped him was stupid imo. Jenna was interesting as a jewel thief, but I'm.kind of half in and half out on this story with her trying to find her father. (Tbh partly I can't pay attn to these other stories bc I can't tear myself away from the Holly Blake Roger Ross thing.) I read ATWT was a sister soap to this. Anyone have an.opinion about if it's as good as GL? I'm thinking of which soap I will watch next (assuming I can find eps). I think it's down to ATWT or OLTL. (Have watched GH, SB, have zero interest in Days, AW, or Y&R).
  15. @Carlos Abad most of them are on youtube, especially the beginning. I can try to do that a bit but won't always be able to, and also I'm not sure how interesting my comments will be. Also note- so I'm starting a rewatch and I'm playing around with trying to do an expedited rewatch, so I've tried to identify key stories/eps and am trying it out. This is just a work in progress. So I'm at around 45 ish. -as I have said ad nauseum I dislike Kelly and most of her storylines, but the first story with her and Joe and Peter and Dominic is interesting, so I skipped some of that at first, but should've watched more. -Ah Mason. Skipping almost every scene with Santana. But still nice to see him. I liked in Eden's first ep Mason is immediately pissed off bc she showed up with a plane to give CC and overshadowed Mason getting Lockridge land for him. -Also liked the ep where Laken stays overnight and Mason's just dripping with disdain at having a Lockridge in the house. -Eden's entrance- I could do without the plane entrance. But man almost instantly the first scene she is with Cruz, those two weren't even talking and they had chemistry. -all the bad CCs I have to suffer through :( -for all the casting woes they really nailed the 4 capwell children -I skip almost everything related to Ted and the teens, Joe and his family, the Lockridges I watch off and on.
