It's like turning to the last page of a book to see how it ends before you read it. That's never been for me, though I know people who regularly do that. Personal taste. And mine is, I want to be surprised.<br /><br />What's interesting is that, except when things get telegraphed as mentioned before, the shows are still written as if we're in the dark as to what's going to happen. They TRY to build suspense, but it's a wasted effort, since we already know. I'm glad Frank is putting a plug on the leaks. I wish the other shows would follow suit. I'm not looking to find out who shot Stefano on Days in advance, but I know I'll hear it well before it airs regardless. So it's kind of hard to care.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847589038329022747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-41143168412342463172012-06-04T11:20:48.817-04:002012-06-04T11:20:48.817-04:00I loved the days of the late 70's and early 80...I loved the days of the late 70's and early 80's (Soaps were Huge) when during "love in the afternoon" promos, you only got one short clip with a voice over, "Will a night at the cabin lead to a night a love?". That will get you to watch! The time you got major plot developments was during daytime delemma. (Scotty seducing Heather was a shocker) SOD didn't give too much info and sow came out in the early 90's and started to give details. Now the stores on putting out issues a week late and I get no previews.outviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463619373631606176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-2791967594868693912012-06-04T10:14:13.200-04:002012-06-04T10:14:13.200-04:00I kind of like spoilers- in which I can't watc...I kind of like spoilers- in which I can't watch I kinda know what's going to happen- and I'm not really missing anything.

But we've done it so much now. Hopefully there will be some NEW twists and turns. Robin Mattson usually makes me enjoy anything more. I love SWITCHED AT BIRTH on ABC Family. It's a warm family soap opera about two 15 year olds who find out they were switched. That was a new twist for me. Switching babies has been done over and over.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-83513647887694243232012-06-04T09:30:26.281-04:002012-06-04T09:30:26.281-04:00I think spoilers destroy the excitement, but some ...I think spoilers destroy the excitement, but some storylines, like the baby switch, are telegraphed so strongly that, when it actually happens, it's boring.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478711488029460961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-59002840078404558882012-06-04T09:28:09.274-04:002012-06-04T09:28:09.274-04:00If primetime shows can keep a lid on things, not s...If primetime shows can keep a lid on things, not sure why it's so hard for daytime.

You tuned in to find out what was going to happen because you didn't know. I will never forget how shocked I was on Edge of Night when sweet unassuming Molly Sherwood turned out to be Eliot Dorn's killer. A spoiler would have ruined that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233003551327571925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-65827295602342021152012-06-04T09:25:42.614-04:002012-06-04T09:25:42.614-04:00When spoilers first started exploding it wasn'...When spoilers first started exploding it wasn't as bad and even if I read something in advance I always felt the actors would knock it out of the park and it would be better than anything I could have imagined. But more and more got revealed over time to the point of that being the main discussion on a lot of soap sites instead of what is happening that day.<br /><br />The day ahead airing (and posting on YouTube) of DAYS and Y&R never made any sense to me either especially in the internet age.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-70063329442000875622012-06-04T09:23:20.172-04:002012-06-04T09:23:20.172-04:00I think it's a great idea..
