Fredrik see here: [link] . There's something wrong with that top picture. They must have had a photo-shopping accident on Carly's eyes. Ugh.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't get the point of daytime soaps.
It's just what happens when you have to air 5 hours of show every week. Admittedly, on the range of soap plotting from dramatic to talking witch doll, DooL had Marlena possessed by Satan. It's a bit fantastical.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know if crime procedurals or reality shows or game sho...you get the drift have much of a point either -- they're different sorts of TV entertainment, is all.

One thing about soaps - due to sheer quantity of time spent - best training ground for actor/actress ever. If you don't act well but are lucky enough to land a part on a soap, and have a spark of talent - by end of your run you will know how to act. If you are already good, by the time you finish you will be better.

watched as someone was being locked much alive in a comfy coffin
that was when i started watching DOOL. i didn't watch long though because the networks put GH and DOOL against each other and i only had one VCR. so GH got my viewership.

I wouldn't agree Typo. There are fabulous actors on soaps and some big names that started on soaps. (Not necessarily the same thing.) Soaps shoot so fast that actors can learn a lot of lazy acting habits. Soaps seem to have more than their fair share of smell the fart acting. They do learn to memorize a lot of lines and work fast in front of a camera.

I've always thought that live theatre did a better job of breeding actors than soaps, partially because they got to explore the same lines and actions over and over again and try different nuances.

Even the most stable brain operates just a millimeter from madness.
Topic!Cindy: Heh. Thanks.
bon bon: I meant more from the viewing point of, uhm, view. On the other hand, they wouldn't be if poeople didn't watch.
And it's true, there's a lot of things I don't get. Maybe I'm a happier man for it. Ignorance is after all supposed to be bliss, I guess. So I shall keep on being ignorant of daytime soaps, and instead once again note, as I just happened to catch the first 4400, how much Peter Coyotes face and voice amazes me. What a man. Almost makes me wish I was gay.
And I say almost, 'cause if I were, I couldn't have that giant crush on Kristen Bell, and my little universe would probobly be poorer for it.
Anyways. Uhm. More coffee.

by end of your run you will know how to act
Hah. No, I think some people will reach the end of their potential, and come up short on the acting stakes. I mean, everyone has their limits, I firmly believe.
However, I think you'll learn how to act quickly. No time to futz and piss around -- however, that doesn't mean you'll be able to properly use the "luxury" of a weekly show, nor shift to meet the new expectations.
