How could you not like a genre where serial killers and rapists can be redeemed and no one ever goes to work and they all have wonderful wardrobes and apartments without ever doing anything but going around town and telling each others' secrets.

Discuss all the daytime drama here.

Not only do they never go to work, but when they do they show up wearing cocktail dresses. At least they do if they're on All My Children, especially if their names are Erica Kane and Kendall Hart. Doesn't anyone do casually Fridays anymore?

Marlena on Days likes to lounge around her penthouse in a hoodie and jeans (both of which look like they're from Limited Too and the jeans are usually Beadazzled).

All My Children, though, I caught an episode today and I have to say, I still really hate Ryan and Annie and that whole shebang. And I used to love Krystal and Babe, but good god, could they shut the hell up already. But I absolutely love Zarf and what they are doing with her character. If the show weren't doing this stupid serial killer plot (which will take months to reveal, like with Greg Madden), I might be tempted to start taping again. Might.

Oh, I can't stand Zarf. I don't care about what they're going to do with the character, except that it's totally for the ratings, even if they want to claim that it's a "story of love and acceptance" (I swear I read that somewhere). But he annoys the crap out of me and I hope he either gets killed by the serial killer, or turns out to be the bad guy and has to go to prison. I want him off my TV. I already have enough characters to FF oast these days.

I can't wait for the serial killer. I thought it was starting in November, so where the hell is he/she? I'm holding out hope that they'll kill off Ryan. I know they won't, but I will continue to hope.

David sure took a long time to leave, didn't he? I love the actor, but David had gone completely around the bend, and every time he'd be saying goodbye to someone, I was like, "Alright, just leave already!"

TVGuide is reporting that come February, GH will be >>killing off Alan Quartermaine, which just seems so wrong considering how long he's been a part of the show and it's the Quartermaine family, for god's sake. Haven't they had enough tragedy in recent years?<<

That being said, I am rather liking GH right now. It's got it's boring bits (can we get rid of Colleen already? She's so annoying and Romulan-like that it's beyond watching) and Carly and Sonny can still manage to irritate the crap out of me, but it's still better than the other soaps on ABC.

Yeah, but isnt that kinda like saying a D- is better than an F.

Zarf is just fucking annoying. Simone died asshole. Let them grieve! And stop stalking Bianca. Cause thats what it is.

Well, generally, yeah. And I haven't watched much of the Zarf storyline, just that one episode a few weeks ago, but I can see how she's annoying.

I am so, so disturbed by the DAYS spoiler that puts >> Billie having sex with Nick Fallon, aka. the guy in love with Billie's daughter Chelsea. I really liked the idea of Nick/Chelsea and this is just gross to me.<<

The GH spoiler really pisses me off. Thats just wrong. As is the Days spoiler <<get a fucking grip, Billie, and stay away from your daughter's love interest.>>

About the Days spoiler: >>Billie is going to sleep with Nick? What? Nooooo! I really like Nick / Chelsea! Dammit, why did Steve have to get his memory back? I liked him and Billie together. Now we get Steve / Kayla (blech) and Billie / Nick? WTF?<<

Also, I watch Y&R, and I can't stand Nick / Phyllis. Their scenes are painful, and I usually just skip them. I saw a commercial suggesting that >> Phyllis would die giving birth.<< (spoilered just in case) And now that hasn't happened, and I just want it to happen. I mean, I used to like Phyllis. She was awesomely crazy, what with running down Chris and Paul in a giant rental car, and sleeping with the psychiatrist and then blackmailing him so she would get custody of Daniel. Now that she's with Nick though, I can't stand her.

Nobody watches my soap, but, well, it's what I watch. As the World Turns. I'm considering giving it up because everybody is getting on my nerves right now, but they just aged the younger generation to pre-teens, and I'm a sucker for the kiddies and their issues. We'll see how it goes.

I haven't watched ATWT for years. Who did they age?

I watch ATWT! I totally want Katie to STFU. Jesus Christ, you slept with Simon, and prior to that stalked him for months, he told Carly what happened and she forgave him, you put it into a book instead of telling your husband. Its not their fault your marriage fell apart. I really wanted to smack her when she was saying she didnt care if Carly's kids lost their mother.

And I cried a bit when Parker said he didnt want Jack to adopt him because he missed his dad and didnt want to lose his last name.

Wait, wait. I'm confused. Back to the Days thing. Is Nick the guy who's into computers? He's like, Abby's cousin or something? Or am I thinking of the wrong person?

In other news, I wonder if when they finally do show Phillip's face again, it will still be Kyle from the Real World Whatever (Chicago)? Because that is the ultimate in cheesetastic casting. It's Velveeta.

Yeah, you're thinking of the right person. And I think that's why I could never take Phillip seriously once Kyle started playing him. I just kept thinking "That's Kyle. I've seen him drunk off his ass. Did he hook up with Cara or Keri? I miss the old Phillip. He was pretty." Also, I doubt it will still be Kyle. Otherwise, why are they making such a big deal over his getting a new face.
