She’s gorgeous, I assume this is for a new opening credits? https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cixl0P-pfSZ/?igshid=NTlmMWMyMzg=

That looks on par with the horrendous Lifetime movie Angela Bassett directed. Also, historically inaccurate based on her singing ‘How Will I Know’ when Clive “discovers” her in that scene they have in the trailer.

The time Barbra and her elaborate outfit upstaged the Queen, lol.

Exactly - I really don’t mind or care what his preferences are, we all have them. However, that hyper sensitive and defensive (not to mention) belittling language doesn’t earn or deserve any respect. Trying to police people who don’t share your view on a message board will never go over well.

I mean, it’s largely ceremonial anyway, so I don’t see it drifting away that easily. That said, having spent time in various parts of the UK, there is a general apathy about the thought of still having a royal family from big parts of the population. There is an overwhelming sense that it’s an idea out of touch with modern British values from some. If I’m honest, i’ve always felt like the royals were much more beloved in the commonwealth than in the mainland UK from my experience. A 70 reign is nothing to sneeze at though and I don’t think anyone can doubt just how devoted she was to her nation and its causes.

Barbra's tribute to her late longtime friend and frequent songwriting collaborator Marilyn Bergman on her posthumous induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. You can feel how much this means to Barbra, and how much the Bergman's have meant to her both professionally and personally.

How long did that iteration of that theme last again? A little over a year? Calhoun would scrap it for 'Hold On To Love' entirely by January 1991.

The broadcast scheduling is always a bit puzzling in the UK. Earlier this year, Coronation Street moved to 3 hour long episodes a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8pm). This was also a timeslot change as Corrie’s historical timeslot (for the most part) was 7:30pm.

I’d be very surprised if this is done with any dignity. https://news.sky.com/story/eastenders-special-to-pay-fitting-tribute-to-late-june-brown-12683610

I think I could just watch Karen, Marco, and Jenny all day, lol.

I believe in ‘96 there was a lot of talk about CBS wanting B&B to expand to an hour and the Bell’s seriously considering it. The talk was GL would be canceled to make room for that. This was also when the show was in the creative and ratings gutter. Rauch, for all his faults, did reinvigorate things for a (short) while a year or so later and GL’s “recovery” in 97 was being hailed by the press. But obviously that didn’t last too long. GL’s cancellation rumors likely began as early as 93/94 when many of the major affiliates switched it to a 9/10am timeslot, which also coincided with JFP’s worst tendencies overrunning the show by that point and ratings starting to tumble. But things got really bad in like the summer of ‘96 when GL dipped below even AW for a week or so and talk of expanding B&B took wind.

Those promos are so ridiculous, but still better than what much of the show was by this point as this was when the cancellation rumors started to intensify and GL even dipped below AW for a week or so in the ratings.

Yes, thanks @victoria foxton! I really do think this era still holds up well and the ensemble cast is mostly very compelling.

If you want to get technical, her soap career began at GL under Allen Potter as a production assistant.

It was Marcy herself who told Michael Logan she had reservations about JFP going to AMC after her GL stint, lol. She blamed Jill for using her as a negotiation tactic at GL. She was right given the ill-devised character she was given to play. https://marcywalkeronline.tripod.com/pages/press022.htm

There were some meandering years in the mid/late 90's where the press complained about how boring the show had gotten and ratings started to go down. That's probably how JFP weaved herself in there - she initially came over to ABC as a consultant when she left AW, and consulted for close to a year before taking over OLTL (it was apparently between AMC and OLTL, but she landed at the latter).

It was Labine, lol.

Apparently, a lot of that was Susan Bedsow Horgan, who was said to have a deep fascination with the Irish mob and Irish lore and wanted to incorporate it into the show at the time. I know it's generally said that outside of the DID work, his work with Horgan as EP wasn't as strong as when he found his groove with Gottlieb. He's also credited Josh Griffith for helping him craft story for the soap format, but given Griffith's solo work and the atrocity he dishes out at Y&R, Malone may have been too kind...

Disney+ is one of the streaming success stories, but between Marvel, Star Wars, and the classic Disney library, they were too big to fail. Peacock, comparatively, is not and has never been on the same level. I'd also say we'll never see any of the ABC/Disney-owned soaps on Disney+ because they will never pay to digitize them. With Disney's already massive library, they likely see the soaps as last on that list and as content that would devalue the brand they're trying to build with that platform (fair or not). You'll never see them move GH exclusively on that service.

Y&R is notorious for screwing up their end credits and sometimes not fixing it for a while. It may just be down to that if MM or the show hasn't come out and said anything about her status.
