I don't know what happened BTS with VI and the rumored GL talks, but it probably had more to do with GL's budget and AMC snatching him up first moreso than Kreizman having any beef against him. Besides, we all know that Ellen was wearing the pants on that show.

But that brings me to another point. Here we have a show undergoing a massive foundational shift in terms of its characters and families and who do they bring in to try to make it work in the longterm? Kreizman. Because GL was SUCH a shining example of his work at innovating another floundering show... They need to beg Lorraine to stay on, even as a co-HW. That is what Davey desperately needs. A strong co-HW with veto authority and a knowledge of the show's foundation. Only then will it work.

I'm so thrilled that daytime no longer holds my attention. Otherwise, this news would just depress me.

Honestly, the hottest tvs right now are the Samsung LEDs. Not only do they look damn cool but they do use much less energy than a regular LCD. Unfortunately, they will also cost more than a regular LCD. Best Buy is having a sale on the 46" LED for $1599, which is pretty pricy for a 46". Also, LCDs generally do have a little better picture.


Although, despite the bad rap, I do kinda like the way a plasma has a much more fluid picture than an LCD, which can seem a bit too pixel-y at times.


EDIT: BTW, the price for the tv is a "Black Friday" only special.

Not to mention, as Carl inferred from my earlier post, that the fact that Broderick has had no interaction with the medium since 2004 suggests she no longer wishes to write for daytime.

Sorry, I forgot to add my point lol. The fact is that, other than Daytime Confidential, we have no confirmation that this news is accurate. That Lorraine is currently in another line of work and because of which is possibly unavailable to AMC might put a damper on the news. Not unless she has decided to stop teaching after the semester break... Or perhaps has only agreed to serve as a temporary writer until the next semester.
