No one's throwing a tantrum.

Keep making these threads all about you.

I enjoy your posts too @vetsoapfan

You disagree. That's fine. Nothing wrong with speculating.

+1 What's the difference between bringing on Chelsea when they could have brought on Jill's niece? Or Cane could have been a Prentiss. It makes no difference IMO.

That's really a shame. What a BS excuse too. One person would cause it to bust at the seams? Please. Awful.

That always bothered me too.

I can get that. She seems, well, sad. I guess is a way to put it. I'll have to go back and see if I can find some clips of the original actress to get a little better of an idea. I ask because I trust your opinion as you've watched a lot more than I have.

As someone with little attachment to the previous Michelle, who isn't coming back and hasn't been on since the 90s, what's so bad about the current actress? She does have a similar look to her, IMO, and she's been back a few days, what are some expecting? I think she comes off a little sad. I've liked her sitting on Arthur's bench and talking to him and wanting him around. I see a sadness and emptiness to her, which is probably where she should be at this point. Let's give it some time.

The Carters to me were the most cringeworthy celebrating the holidays. Why is the family still around? Can anyone tell me what's appealing about Max? The actor is fine but I never found him very interesting. JMO. And I forgot they brought back Jack (I haven't been watching for a while). Another UGH and why?

Well, Michelle did make a call to Mark ...

I don't even watch regularly and can go long stretches but it always seems to be Phil is nasty and ugly and miserable, everyone shuns him, something happens to make them feel sorry for him and then it's all "Poor Phil" ... no? It's wash, rinse and repeat. Aren't viewers sick of this? And Sharon sounded nuts for waxing nostalgic about Phil, JMO. It's so toxic. Are they going for an alcoholism story with Kathy? In two episodes she's seen drinking it up and having a good time. While nothing wrong with that, it seems to be slightly focused on.

I'm not currently watching but just watched the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day episodes. I can't stand that Denise is pregnant by Phil. I mean, WTF? That man doesn't need anymore kids to verbally abuse. And that's all they can write for Denise? Please. I love that they brought Michelle back and it's nice to see Sharon with a friend. The new actress does look a bit similar and since I'm not attached to the old one I liked her a lot. It was hard to really enjoy the holiday cheer because these people are so ugly towards each other most of the time. And they seem to get off on Dot being all alone. I don't. I was glad they all came together at the pub and gave her a washing machine. I haven't followed much but she's losing her eyesight? And Max? EW. I've never got his appeal at all. I did watch a clip of Tanya slapping Stacey over I guess Stacey and Max had an affair back around 2007? I wanted to know why she was all happy to see him so I went searching. I wanted to slap Stacey as she comes off so nasty half the time. Is that supposed to be appealing? LOL. Sometimes this show and their harsh characters and tone kind of depresses me but I may try to watch again.

The first season in 35 days apparently got around 14 million in the 18-49 if I'm not mistaken. I'd imagine the fast renewal means season 2 has seen the same success. But I'm not 100% sure if it was 18-49 or overall viewers. But it's doing quite well

Season 3! Netflix has renewed Fuller House http://deadline.com/2016/12/netflix-renews-fuller-house-for-season-3-1201875685/

I really disliked the trashing of Diane. Susan Walters was OK and worked, but Alex Donnelly was perfection.

Alan, Georgie and Emily were all shock-value plot-driven deaths that never should have happened. I'm less upset over Emily because I was tired of her and Natalia Livingston's quivering but Alan and Georgie should still be alive. AJ's was a mistake as well, all of the times, especially under Ron's pen. Although at least that had SOME follow through, with Michael accepting his spot in the Q's and hating Sonny, but the stans cried and we all know what happened there

Brash and Cwickly were surprisingly good for DAYS. I was so upset when they got sacked and we got Higley. I had some hope for Reilly but then it all went downhill. As someone who started watching under Reilly, I was beyond upset at his return and how bad it was. He also turned Passions into utter trash at the same time. Say what you will about Passions, and while it was out there in the beginning, 1999-2001 for Passions was a very different show than the last few years. I don't know what happened. Clearly he just didn't care and threw whatever stuck at the wall, but nothing stuck. I was hoping MarDar would be somewhat of an inbetween of Reilly and Brash/Cwickly. I think they had good intentions but after a few months I don't know what happened. They weren't as bad as some want to say they were IMHO.

I haven't watched since Jade's death. I hate they killed her off and now I read they killed off Celine. Another mistake. I enjoy the show but it's a little too quick to kill off people. It's sometimes just a bit too plot driven but I guess that's what also drags me in ...

OMG they brought back Duane ("whatever") and Viper! LOL And it was great seeing Gia again too

I STILL miss Nicolle.

Paula's basically only on Friday's so I can deal with it too. Weird because I like her on GMA Weekends (not at first but the View has helped her loosen up tremendously, actually) but I find her sticking out like a sore thumb on the View and she gets on my nerves. I guess it comes down to she has chemistry with her co-hosts on GMA (all men except Diane Macedo, previously Sara) but not on the View.

Elisabeth and Joy got to the point where they needed to be separated. Elisabeth was grating and defensive. The Rosie situation didn't help her at all, either. Elisabeth was a sinking ship that they abandoned. She couldn't even last at FOX News. I can't believe that was the same sweet girl who was on Survivor in 2001. Joy and Elisabeth were both axed. Joy came back. Elisabeth won't be back. They want Elisabeth without it actually being Elisabeth. I don't miss her at all on the show. I also don't really miss Sherri. I felt the show was running on fumes with Sherri and Elisabeth. Jenny never stood a chance which is a shame because I do like her, but it was another Michelle situation. They want "shocking" but then when the network gets any pushback they panic. That's what it seems to me. Candace also has a long history of working with ABC. And Paula seems fairly respected at ABC News so she'll toe the company line. Michelle and Jenny are too outspoken to toe the Disney line. And they still use Jenny for New Years Eve. And Michelle seems to be hosting things on Logo so she's not hurting.

It came off as trying too hard. I like her and didn't mind her at first but it wasn't working.

God, it's scary that I actually finally agree with a post of yours. I don't agree that Candace was annoying. That's personal preference. The show wanted her to be Hasselbeck. They wanted her to clash I'm sure with Joy and Whoopi. Like Paula and Whoopi seem to have some tension between them. That's what they wanted but that's not what they got. So I think it was more of a mutual goodbye, like Raven. Michelle was doomed the second the nurse thing happened and with Joy coming back she wasn't needed. Paula's not needed but I guess she's a familiar enough co-host now to fill in to give Sunny, Jed and others a day off when needed, but I think the panel of Whoopi, Sunny, Joy, Sara and Jed is the best we've had in a really really long time.
