Ha! I was just thinking about S4 yesterday. Oh, the wackiness.
The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I was a CBS soap fan. I watched Capital all the time and then tried the one that replaced it that's on now based around fashion whose name I can't remember and am too lazy to look up.
And Guiding Light. I love me some GL, except when it insane with the Reva was cloned and then superaged and they had the actress playing a 20 year old and soft focusing the hell out of the camera to make her look young. That annoyed me. But I can't remember where it fell in the whole Reva drove off the bridge in Key West and died but later showed up as Amish and everyone thinking it was just someone who looked like her, but nope! Itw as really amnesiac Amish Reva.
Also loved the Phillip Beth storyline,a lthough from what I understand now Phillip's gone a bit crazy and evil.
Days fans hate him
Most of the complaints I've seen about JERk, as they call him, is the same ones I have with Reilly: Outlandish plots are one thing. Days that list two months onscreen; scenes that consist solely of people talking to themselves (Sami: "Oh, Austin, I will get you to love me... blah blah blah."); an over-reliance on flashbacks to scenes from yesterday, or earlier in the episode; and plots that dragged on for five, six or eight years just wore people out.
If those things are unique to Reilly, he's working under a lot of pseudonyms.

The Bold and the Beautiful!
This is totally going to mess up the box sets!
Yep. All the box sets are going to be wacky next year.
Santa Barbara was wonderful, while it lasted. Was sad when Another World bit the dust too. Why oh why didn't Days die decades ago and put me out of my misery. I would shed no tears.
I had a huge crush on Mason on SB. Also, when Princess Bride came out, I was thinking, "Cool, Kelly's in a movie."

This.
Reilly has been gone from days as head writer for a while. I would shed tears if they dismantled Days. Especially since I sampled a couple others soaps following former Days stars. Yesterday Marlena put Stephano in a coma, Tony and Anna guest starred, and Bo took off his shirt. It was a good day. I want to write for Days but all of my episodes would feature Peter Reckell naked and eventually someone would see a pattern and fire me.
I don't understand how we could have a deal tomorrow when we haven't even begun "official" talks. I remain dubious.
Oh shows. I miss you.

Ah but which one?
I started watching GH again when Lane Davies came on board. I was very disappointed that they had him and Nancy Lee Grahn and didn't seem to have the slightest idea what to do with them.

Remember when he left the show, and there was new Bo? And then new Bo showed up on Another World.
Wow, US soaps are fucked up!
