Damn, those Morrow genetics run deep. Crew is beautiful.

A lower bar could not be reached.

Katey Sagal basically made that joke at the Roseanne roast, but it was more specifically about their characters.

At the top of my head I've only seen him in the infamous film Hush, where he was gorgeous. One of my guilty pleasure films for various reasons. Good for him for still looking damn good.

I think it's a cute coincidence that from the time The Gates was first announced to when it'll debut is roughly the same time frame of a baby's birth (9-10 months). Someone with more expertise of the gestational period could probably make a thoughtful comparison when all is said and done. What I do know is (ignoring I'm an atheist), since the show will be on CBS it's a comfort that wherever Aretha Franklin is, she'll be watching!

Thanks for doing this. Much appreciated!

Regarding Buffy, Angel season 1 would be happening the same time as Buffy season 4, so just enjoy those early Buffy seasons first.

You could wait until it goes down to 3, 20 minute episodes per week, so trying it out then wouldn't be a big commitment.

It's plot driven soap opera on crack. It can be entertaining, but never for too long. Plus, major story is usually only given to the same tired characters ad nauseum.

She was getting in people's good graces when she was praising vacationing in some BC town I forget the name of, then she turned a corner into this and lost it all.

The article I read on DS said it'll be worldwide.

Looking it up, it was based on a very successful comic strip that lasted from 1953 all the way to the year 2000! The close up of Pop was strange, but the worst choice was to not end the episode with the reaction from the show's namesake for the series' first cliffhanger. That's just bad soap opera.

I loved reading @Matt's For Now and Forever, which took place in the 30's and was "cast" with classic Hollywood actors. I remember he was admitted some soap writer contacted him through email to try and help him get in the door of actually writing for the soaps, but he ended up turning him down. Matt, feel free to repeat the anecdote again with more accuracy if you feel so obliged!

Paul Wesley used his surname, Wasilewski.

The only good thing about this for me are getting the free hours of my week back, until The Gates returns of course!

Well, that's me ending my time watching. It's been a nice 2 and half months. Bring on The Gates!

"Lucas thinks he doesn't deserve Dillon." He doesn't! It's so sad that the show only sees Dillon as a plot point appendage of Lucas. Oscar Curtis can't act worth a lick, while Nathaniel Dass is gorgeous, has charisma in spades, and the camera loves him. He and Dillon both deserve so much better.

Maybe I'm being naïve, but I feel like the writers have been very careful not to mention Sonny being a criminal whenever Natalia is around and when she finds out, that will be the catalyst to her actively doing something nefarious to get Kristina out of Blaze's life.

They should do with Victoria Rowell what EastEnders did with Pat Butcher on EastEnders. Have her be mentioned here and there for about a year and then bring her on to shake things up. But I fear people are really getting their hopes on casting. The majority will probably be newbies. I want this show to have it's own identity. I want The Gates to have The Gates actors, not a smattering of who's who from various other places. They should be sprinkled in. That said, I would cast Debbi Morgan to be part of the original cast initially, like Rosemary Prinz on AMC, and end up killing her off after 6-9 months.

I'm blanking, why would Portia and Curtis be there?

Apologies because I know ya'll have posted it a million times, but what's that site where someone can read articles online even if they're blocked somehow?

Ya'll worrying about characters, and all I can think is, I hope The Gates' opening theme isn't trash. I pray Michele Val Jean is met with people working alongside her that care about the show in all aspects of it's production. No flops please.
