Thanks for the memories!

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Niki running around with young, puny Hispanic , who picked him to be a likely lover?

They officially ruined the last good show left on t.v. They tried a similar story line some years back and I stopped watching then. Returned to watching young and the restless when they realized that no one wanted that story line. And here we go again! This was the only show left without gay characters, that's why I liked it so much. But I won't be watching anymore! Thanks for ruining a good show CBS.

Above all the soaps, which I've watched this one keeps you in the zone of interest. People are written on so many levels from love as well as work to even health related story lines. They confront alcoholism as the characters struggle in all areas of life. The only thing keeping it from 10 stars, is when the women marry they always take their husbands name and emphasize this within the story.This is not the given in real life. In fact when women are expected to bear/raise and sacrifice endlessly for children and loose their and their children's lineage to someone who doesn't go thru the same pain it is deeply disturbing to me as a viewer, who believes that love should be a real partnership based on wanting what is just. This show needs an update on this point, this is archaic and doesn't emphasize a partnership mentality but rather one of ownership. Despite this I would recommend it otherwise because it does keep your interest and the writers come up with some amazing situations that make you in want of more.

I find them too slow with lousy acting and silly story lines. I only started watching this cause my roommate does and he told me the guys are VERY attractive. He's right. Some of the men here (especially Billy and Cane) are drop dead gorgeous but also it isn't bad for a soap. Sure, some of the story lines drag but, for the most part, this moves fairly quickly. Yes, some of the actors are bad but no one is terrible and some of them are actually VERY good. It's also easy to pick up--it took me about a week or so to (somewhat) figure out the story lines. That's another thing--this has multiple story lines going on at once and you're never really bored. Also the production values here are excellent. There are beautiful, impressive sets in virtually every episode. I started watching about a month ago and I have to admit I'm hooked! A very good, well-done soap.
