You're making sense. You enjoyed ships on the show but watched it for many reasons more than the shipping.

I like a lot of the ships on that show, too. I'm the same way with One Tree Hill, actually. That's another one where I just . . . for the most part, I kind of like them all. Although I do have a legitimate ship on both TVD and OTH.

For as much as I had my ships on PLL (especially when I first started watching), the main reason I watched was for the mystery and the friendships of the core girls. I find it hard to watch shows JUST for a ship, although usually in later seasons that's what I end up watching for, just to see how a show or ship will wind up.

If a show declines in quality, a lot of times a ship is what you hold onto. I had that with Lost, and then that all went to hell at the end for my ship.

^That's for damn sure. I've wanted to quit so many shows but due to my own personal loyality and ships, I'll stick to the bitter end. A ship can pull you through the trash. It's a powerful thing.

Steroline and Caroline/Stefan separately pulled me across the finish line for TVD. I was being dragged by show's end. I still haven't watched the finale yet because I don't want to see my Stefan die.

TVD . . . I still enjoyed it at the end, mainly because of the Stefan/Damon dynamic, but I was ready for it to end. (Can't believe we didn't get a Delena proposal, but whatever.)

Soap Opera ship that's probably dead in the water. Boooooooooo! Still- Bill and Steffy! That couple was lit. The chemistry was like woah! No clue why the show ended that one. They were hot as hell! But both are married to others now.

I hate you show! Hottest couple that show had!

That's Bold and the Beautiful, right? I never got super into that one.

I've sort of caught some General Hospital over the summer. I miss the old Jason. I shipped the old Jason with the original Carly.

Yep, that's B&B. I'm a CBS girl because that what my mom and grandmother watched. I watched Y&R, B&B, and the defunct GL, and ATWT. I also was a huge Passions girl over on NBC. Passions was my lol of the day with that crazy.

But I do watch GH. I have a love/hate thing for it. I go back and forth. I currently stopped watching for the last three months. I get so sick of the mob stuff and I'm out.

I think Steve Burton is returning though Billy Miller isn't leaving. I hear Steve is playing another character. So odd!

April7739

What? If Steve Burton is returning, he just needs to play Jason! End of story.

My mom and grandma were CBS women, too, so I got plenty of exposure to Y&R and ATWT growing up. Those were their favorite shows.

There were a couple Y&R couples I really liked back in the day.

loppabelle

Yeah, I have no clue where GH is going with this. I heard rumblings that he was the real Jason and that Billy Miller's Jason was a fraud planted by Helena. But the writers are saying that's false and that Steve is another character.

April7739

WTF?

loppabelle

I have no clue! That's soaps for you. The ultimate retcon!

Another soap ship. TheRox. Theresa and Fox from Passions. I was a big Ethan/Theresa shipper but I was fairly pissed at Ethan after his constant BS. So over him! Plus Lindsay and Justin Hartley's chemistry was undeniable. They were together and married in real life.

April7739

Oh, I never watched that one. I do know Justin Hartley, though.

JH is hot. I adore him on TIU. Who am I kidding? I adored him since moment 1 when he first started on Passions.

Oh, speaking of This Is Us . . . I'm still not over having my heart broken by Jack and Rebecca in the season finale. Milo and Mandy were so good in that fight scene. That was epic.
