Shelia death was an epic failure in the ratings. 

This is not a good sign for B&B.

GH drops. Next week's ratings though early will be very interesting to see.

Ron do you think they'll get a bump for Jason's return

Yeah, it’s an option, I guess. Tyler did say he built that studio not just for himself and his projects, but other black creatives and Atlanta-based businesses. 

The Marvel movies do a lot of work in Atlanta as well. 

I could see TP being supportive of this and letting them use it to offset the cost 

Maybe the budget will be better than at YR and BOLD given CBS will own this soap and not have to pay a licensing fee 

Don't forget your clocks will jump ahead an hour, and lose an hour of sleep in the a.m. lol 

Where the F*ck is Trina??? Taby hasn't been on screen in like 3 weeks

_WTF?

Kimberlin Brown's "exit", Sheila's "death", and all the hype for the week really did nothing for the show.  A measly gain of 57,000 eyeballs.  And demos down.

because it literally came out of nowhere, no build up to it at all. 

He did it with Thomas/Caroline too, even Michael Logan from TV GUIDE called him out on it back then

Personally, I think CBSD would cancel "The Talk" or "Let's Make a Deal" before they'd cancel either B&B or Y&R.

I think so too 

I wonder if Bell would pay the licensing fee himself if it came down to it, I mean he is fairly well off money wise

Lois & Clark in the 90s, although TNT network did want to do a 5th season, but Teri & Dean were ready to move on; Teri cause she was pregnant and Dean was getting tired of being up on wires(which was painful) for hours at a time

I just hope this news might light a fire under Bradley Bell’s ass, but, knowing him, he’ll receive the *wrong* lesson from it, leaning into more nonsensical stunts for ratings instead of aiming for higher-quality, long-term storytelling and allowing an actual writer to take the creative reins.

Nah he'll skate like always till it's close to time for the new soap to premiere then suddenly he'll pull out all the stops for a month or so then go back to being lazy

My man was awesome yesterday and today. LIl Puke looked like the pathetic weasel he is. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but SC plays Liam very smarmy

Even if CBS dumped B&B, do not be suprised if ABC gets B&B or Amazon or Netflix picks it up. Iger at Disney/ABC needs and wants content for ABC and/or Hulu/Disney +. Amazon and Netflix need contant as well.

lol not going to happen at all. ABC has 1 soap for a reason, a soap that's hanging on by it's toe nails at this point

And it's not going to be as long as they maintain the illusion that Brooke Logan is a desirable woman in her late 30's.

lol right! I guess "Bridge" is popular internationally as is Brooke though

B&B has been canceled in a lot of international territories in the past 10 years - its global footprint isn’t as strong as it was in the 90’s and early 00’s. It’s more reliant on the licensing fees CBS pays for it now than ever. 
 

If they cancel B&B, it’s done and no other global market will save it. But would that also lead to the Bell’s selling their stake in Y&R to CBS or selling it fully to Sony? Interesting to think about…

Said what I was going to say. They want us to buy into the "it does well internationally" I'm sure it does, but it's not nearly as strong as it once was

This feels like Guza era all over again

What's character driven about Anna freaking Devane being a Sonny prop? 

I'm shocked Jason doesn't have amnesia given this show loves to go that route with him
