Best and most classiest soap exit ever, IMO.

Hilda is iconic (overused word, but it's applicable for her). I think her exit is the best exit I've ever seen for a beloved longterm soap character. RIP Jean

Frankly, I don't mind it or even care.

A lot of people are just "over" her. She's peaked, and as you mentioned, outside of her core fanbase (which isn't enough to make her material successful anymore anyway), no one's interested. No amount of award show singing and forays into acting will salvage that. She does have some talent, but her and her management team just the worst execution of any pop star in recent years. I don't think this album will outsell ArtFlop or have any real standout hits.

The album sold on par with what Britney Jean sold in its first week - given the amount of promo she did for this album (she barely did any for Britney Jean), this has got to be a big disappointment for her and her team. I exact final sales to be as terrible as Britney Jean's were. I wonder how bad the fall will be next week. Her commercial career really seems to be over (as you mentioned, radio will no longer support her), she's now essentially a glorified Vegas act at this point. It's sort of sad that Barbra, who essentially dusted off a bunch of old Broadway songs and duetted with movie stars and is well into the 6th decade of her career, beat her in album sales in her first week (let alone Florida Georgia Line). She's not as savvy as Beyonce, who has managed to sell albums and remain relevant without a big radio single. The public will always have some sort of interest in what Britney's up to, but no one (outside of the diehard fans she has left) seems interested in her musical output or overall career.

Well, commercially, the public seems a bit over her (not that Britney's heart has been into her career for years now). Queen Barbra Streisand is on course to score her 10th #1 album, and Britney's Glory is on course to debut at #3 next week. Official results will be reported by Billboard on Thursday. http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=302786

I can't even look at Danniella Westbrook when she's on-screen, she looks like an 80 year old on the verge of death. I know she has "issues" but damn...

I can already tell this Steven Beale return story is going to be crap. I don't envy Sean O'Connor, DTC and team have left him with a show that's gutted and in shambles. The sad thing is he'll probably receive a lot more criticism from the press and general public because he likely won't have the same hype machine DTC has behind him.

Embarrassing (though I hope Jane dies):

This Bobby crap is embarrassingly bad. They need to stop this sh!t and ship his little ass to a mental institution already.

I kind of hate that they gave Peggy a "Last Orders" special when Barbara really left the show a long time ago (and they did give Peggy a Revealed special during that last exit). I hate even it even more than we never got anything like this for Pat/Pam St. Clement, who was the show much longer.
