As much as I love love love Dinah... I hate Cassie. And this baby story line worries me because we're going to get St. Cassie (who ignores the kids she has now) and Dinah will be thrown to the wolves.
I love Katie and Henry and I'm not wild about Mike any more. I'm not looking forward to the inevitable Mike and Katie reunion. I guess Craig and Jennifer hooked up so he could sneer at her and she could cry. And cry... and cry...sheesh.
Don't you think it's weird to see sweet as peach pie Tad's little brother play psycho abuser Les on ATWT? It took me a while to recognize him.

I wasn't around for the Cassie/Richard years, but I do see what you mean by St. Cassie, although I have to admit, she and Edmund have chemistry. I do not like Jeffrey -- yuck. And although she is pure evil, I too love Dinah.

I too am starting to root for Katie and Henry. Mike is nice to look at, but geez, he's just an idiot, plain and simple. I wish he and Jen had run away.

I didn't like Cassie either.

I love soaps and always have and find very few people willing to admit that, much less discuss. Raised on ATWT from birth. My mother was able to watch once a week, and Grandma would catch her up while they cooked Sunday dinner. Life came to a complete halt at Grandma's house during 'her show'. ATWT led to GL. Watched some AMC during the early years, OLTL way back (who remember's the name of Vicki's sister?) and GH back in the days of black and white. It became ABC only many years ago, primarily because I can listen to the audio on the radio at work. (The affiliate doesn't broadcast their audio, it just so happens you can pick it up.) For a while I listened to AMC, OLTL and GH on the radio and taped ATWT and GL. Sad, huh?

Now I'm strictly ABC, although it's fun to catch the CBS shows on holiday or if I'm sick at home. I still read the synopses so I can drop in after a few months and not really feel like I've missed anything. The hardest thing is figuring out who the new characters and actors are.

I'm not happy with AMC right now, although any time Michael Knight or David Canary are on screen is golden, platinum if they are in a scene together. The other characters just aren't grabbing me.

OLTL has always been the 'tweener' show for me, that hour to spend between AMC and GH, the time to go to the copier or run to the bank, but the story lines are drawing me in again. I like that they are focusing on interaction between the core families again, although I think Jessica's DID or whatever is bringing on this Tess character is a little contrived.

Count me in the minority who is lvoing GH right now, although the jury is still out on the new Carly. Maurice Bernard is doing some of his best work right now, Rick Hearst is a great addition, I've always like Nancy Lee Grahn's work. They are laying groundwork for a lot of long-term drama, if they can keep the same writing crew around.

Sorry, didn't mean to write an entire position paper. Can you tell I don't have many opportunities to talk about this?

I can talk about soaps forever. I believe Viki's sister's name was Meredith (didn't cheat and look it up) Mandy might knowit too. Not a big fan, just fills the hour in between.

My favorite AMC couple is David and Tad. Nobody cracks meup more. And I want them to recast Bianca in a few months, there is so much story to be told there. I am glad St Maria oft he push up bra isleaving and not a moment too soon. Kendall has chemistry with everyone so whomever they pair her with is good enough for me.

GH, please go back to the romance. Explore Liz and Lucky again. I didn't like this Carly on OLTL and I don't care for her now. I like Reese though. I would really like it if she was Brenda's long lost sister because there are some characters you can recast and some you can't. Brenda you can't.

The nthing with ATWT is I love Mike. ALways have. But Katie and Henry are too cute for words and Trent Dawson is a gold mine who should be getting an Emmy some day. With the introduction of the old new Snyder girl, maybe they can hit it off.

Very good, Meredith Lord. Married dreamy (then) young doctor Larry Woleck. I read somewhere they may be recasting the Clint Buchanan role.

I don't remember the actress now playing Carly from OLTL. I wasn't sure about Tamara Braun when she first started but now I hardly remember Sarah Brown as Carly. I'm willing to give her time. I agree GH needs more love and romance. I read the Lucky/Elizabeth romance will start heating up now. It will also get interesting once Nicholas is released from jail.

I think Sonny and Carly will always be connected even if/when they move on to other people. It will interesting to see how that dynamic plays out. I also find the Ric/Alexis pairing delightful. Those two crack me up.

I wish Anthony Geary would show up for more than 6 weeks at a time. I can't believe how long he's been on GH.

Trent.Dawson.rocks. I have starting taping ATWT every day because the Katie-Henry pairing has been so appealing. Nothing against Mike, but Henry is so much fun.

And that Cassie-Dinah story has turned me completely off of GL.

"If there was ever a time you wanted permission to run over a clown . . . ."

Was there speculation that Reese is Brenda's long lost sister?? I had not heard anything like this until now...can you explain? Thanks T,

*WooHoo, I got me a Syren and a bounce from IceCat!*

No just my wish cause I love Brenda

Me too. I watch her on Las Vegas to get my fix. It's not the same though. I read a man from Reese's past will coming to the show soon, so I doubt she's Brenda's sister. (although nothing is ever a real shock on soaps)

*WooHoo, I got me a Syren and a bounce from IceCat!*

I really stopped watching months ago when the Bridget/Ridge thing was once again revisited, but I always catch things here and there. B&B is now at the point where really, they've written things into a corner, and someone needs to realize that there's only so much you can do with limited time and limited characters. Once again, they are bringing back Taylor (Hunter Tylo). So I'm sure that once again, Brooke and Ridge's marriage will not be valid. Give me a freaking break!!! Ugghhhh!!! Maybe I just don't like Hunter Tylo, but she really needs to go, go, go. Also, maybe this is just a credit to Jennifer Finnegan, but this Bridget sucks. Jennifer Finnegan really cannot be replaced.

I can't stand how they keep pairing a character in her 20s (Bridget) with characters much much older (first Ridge, now Nick). Why does she have to keep competing with her mother for men?

"If there was ever a time you wanted permission to run over a clown . . . ."

I watch B&B during the AMC commercials and follow it in the Soap Bible, Soap Opera Digest. I do like this Bridget, but agree that the whole Ridge story was the ickiest story ever told on soaps. Nick should go after Taylor now and they should cast someone her age. Oscar was perfect for her and Brian Gaskill was such a talent gone to waste. Bring back that hot doctor who once was on Port Charles!

Hi. My name is Augie, and I watch Passions.

There. I said it. It's out in the open. I watch the worst soap out there. *sigh* It's not really my fault. Nope. Not my fault at all. You see I got laid off from stupid WorldCom in 2002. I couldn't find a job and had a lot of time to do nothing. So, one day I "accidently" watched Passions. Yes, I said "accidently". The TV was tuned to Passions and I looked. And I looked again the next day. And the next day. And the next. Hey! I was unemployed people! Sue me, okay?

Anywho, even though it became apparent soon enough that Passions is indeed a terrible soap with sad, neverending lame-o storylines, I continued to watch. Luckily, I found a job and now only watch on the odd day off. And when I do watch it is only to confirm that the men of Harmony are still the stupidest men in daytime, and that Tabitha (Juliet Mills) is still a riot, and that Julian is still yummy. They are, she is, and he is.

However, I do have to say that DOOL is trying very hard to overtake Passions as worst soap. Very hard indeed.

I feel so, so, pathetic.
