@dragonflies mention of Lois & Clark in the four seasons and done thread made me remember the tank and sabotage job done to that show during the fourth season.

Tank: Lois & Clark had a successful third season coming in a #44, the show’s highest rated season yet. After the much anticipated wedding finally occurred, the show weakened in its time-slot due increased fierce competition in the 8PM Sun slot from Touched by an Angel breaking out in that spot, 3rd Rock From the Sun, and a resurgent Simpsons. So ABC flip-flopped the and AHV around on the Sunday night line-up. The show tanked in the 7PM slot.

Sabotage: With the Disney takeover and the collapsing of the show, ABC then shipped the show to Saturday nights with little to no promotion and of course viewership fractured in half. Although ABC had agreed to a two season renewal at the end of Season 3, ABC/Disney changed their mind about the WB-owned show and promptly cancelled it. I recall ABC later green-lit some other short lived WB-owned show to make up from the loss. 

ABC also did a lot of interference, they made the show hold off on the L&C wedding cause they wanted it to iine up with the wedding in the comics. the show never recovered from the "Frog eating clone arc" people were pissed off cause they felt like they got an FU. Hence the "Swear to God, This Time We're Not Kidding" title for their actual wedding 

I still think he's not going to a lot of what people think due to Valentini and his interference

OMG RIP, I Feel for her sister. I remember her on GH

He did state he's happy working at General Hospital or anywhere he's wanted, but I don't see him ditching the role of Kevin unless he got a series regular with Val Jean at The Gates.

He seems happy to be recurring on GH so it frees him up to do other projects

From what I've seen yeah it actually is, LW is doing ALL the interviews etc etc etc

Jason's return is getting dragged all over social media lol!
 

Oh and also Susan Walters for YR too

Is there a projected launch date for TG? Is it supposed to be ready for to kick off fall 2024 or fall 2025 with the rest of CBS daytime? Launching in the spring is a bad idea - from lower viewing audiences to the multiple pre-emptions on CBS for soccer and basketball.

The first two- to three years of a new soap are rough. It takes a while to figure out a rhythm. Look at B&B, Passions, Generations, SoBe, The City and PC. All of them struggled in some fashion whether it was casting, storylines, pacing, etc. When PC finally figured it out, ABC cancelled it.

B&B's clearance rate was 90%ish until the early 90s. I wonder how many CBS stations will opt out simply because it's a soap.

PC wasn't in all market's either and in some it aired at weird times

So how's Jason's return soe far 

I can't, LMAO
