The Bay

Hey, I can enjoy trashy soap operas as much as the next gal, but 'The Bay' is pure babble. Rubbish script and hysterical acting, with dreadful characterisation, this garbage makes 'Days of our Lives' look like Shakespeare in comparison.

Gregori J. Martin is the mastermind behind this amazing web series that will no doubt, put web soap operas on the map! It is filled with drama, romance, and scandal, with a little bit of comedy, which is what every successful soap opera needs. The cast is so amazing. They bring you all of the excitement in each and every episode. Its so addicting, you simply cannot watch only one episode, as it only gets better with each passing one. It is so great to see Mary Beth Evans, who is best known as Kayla Brady on the long running NBC Daytime Soap Opera "Day of Our Lives". She brings her experience and outstanding acting abilities to this show and only makes it that much better. It is obvious, just by watching a single episode, that so much work has been put into creating this show, and it pays off. The crew is amazing and they prove that sometimes, it takes a team to make something work. I applaud Gregori J. Martin for this wonderful creation and only hope to see much more of The Bay and maybe a new soap opera. Keep bringing on the web soaps!

I got as far as episode 8 and I really should have followed my instinct and stopped about half way through the first one. Trust me, it does NOT get any better. The only redeeming quality is that the episodes are mercifully short.

This serial is geared for soap opera aficionados only. Soaps are practically extinct now. This show bring back memories by including many soap vets from :"Days of Our Lives" - Kayla, Jack, Shawn Brady and Belle, "General Hospital" - Bobbie Spencer and Robert Scorpio, "Bold and the Beautiful " - the original Ridge and "Santa Barbara " - Mason Capwell and Lionel Lockridge. Episodes are 30 minutes. Acting is what you expect from a soap. This is not a Scorese film. Recommended for soap fans only.

This show seemed to have a reasonable premise in early seasons/episodes. As the seasons/episodes progressed it became more and more disjointed and unfathomable. The plot didn't thicken, it sickened. It became such that it could not be followed and was not at all comprehensible. The next failing is the acting. I don't know if they just looked for and found the worst actors on the planet or if this series just made them awful. Not only is the story line unfathomable but the actors are as fake as fake can be. It seems clear that the story line is ridiculous because the acting is so bad...or vice versa.
