Opinion: From GH to Y&R, Unlikely Soap Couples Are Taking Over — And It’s (Mostly) Working! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Victoria and Kyle are shockingly great on The Young and the Restless. Ditto General Hospital‘s Carly/Valentin and the promise of Bill and Dani 2.0 on Beyond the Gates. But Days of our Lives‘s Marlena/Stefano is a tired retread and The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Will and Dylan are a snooze. Everything we know about Y&R‘s Victoria Newman and the much younger Kyle Abbott tells us they shouldn’t work, yet they’re the hottest couple on daytime. They even have a song about “Slow Burning Love” to accompa
Opinion: The Heroines of GH, Y&R, DAYS, B&B and BTG Should Drive Story, Not the Villains (opens the original)
Read excerpt
General Hospital‘s Anna battled her demons while Days of Our Lives‘s Marlena mourned her memories, The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Steffy freaked out alone and a lightbulb went off for Beyond the Gates‘s Dani. But The Young and the Restless needs to stop putting baddies center stage. Highlighting a single character in a big story only works if it’s a major fave surrounded by people we care about. Score one for GH’s Anna! Her recent Faison-related torture at the hands of Sidwell and Cullum sparked a

Read excerpt
Every soap opera needs bad guys, but they can’t dominate the action forever or it’s not believable. Patty and her stuffed cat have outlived their nine lives on The Young and the Restless and we’re rooting for General Hospital‘s Willow and Drew to both lose. Elsewhere, Days of our Lives‘s EJ, The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Sheila and Beyond the Gates‘s Hayley are due for a coup. How does Y&R’s Patty, who has shot, killed and kidnapped so many Genoa City residents, keep escaping from jail? She’s a c
Opinion: From GH to Y&R, Soap Battles Rule — When the Conflicts Make Sense! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adding Ava to Sonny v. Drew caused big drama on General Hospital, Days of Our Lives‘s Philip called Joy on her junk, Beyond the Gates‘s Bill is wising up, The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Dylan is running rings around Electra, and Billy v. Lily is a dilly on The Young and the Restless. But for soap rivalries and battles to truly sing, they need to make sense! The war between Ava and Sonny is a head-scratcher because we haven’t seen the daughter they’re supposedly fighting over since March 2025. Sonn
Opinion: From GH to Y&R, Soaps Need Characters Who Stay Entertaining When Stories Get Dull (opens the original)
Read excerpt
General Hospital has Tracy, The Young and the Restless has Billy, Days of Our Lives has Philip and Beyond the Gates spreads laughs from Dani to Mona. But humor is scarce right now on The Bold and the Beautiful. The drama ebbs and flows on daytime, so every show needs at least one character who can entertain us through it. On GH, that person is Tracy Quartermaine. Willow: “Do you ever get sick of swanning around here dispensing threats?” Tracy: “Never. It’s how I get my steps in.” Put her in any
