Liberty City

From what we've seen reported, I fully believe the change from Freevee to Prime Video (which I preferred in terms of ads, etc.) and changing of executives is what killed Neighbours, and the fact it happened so recently leads me to believe there was [some] kind of hope for a renewal from Amazon MGM.

The entire "soap" is juvenile and insulting and has been for quite some time. A lack of creative vision from the top all the way to the bottom.

I'd say she's been popular since her debut. If I were TPTB on this soap, I'd be dropping Ben Gavin (Derek) to recurring and placing Ellie Wang (Caroline Lee) to contractual status; then, whichever next role gets cut/demoted is where Ernestine Johnson (Shanice Johnson) gets upped. Three months is nothing in comparison to the nine/ten months ahead in which DAYS shoots. Most American daytime soaps are six-to-eight weeks tape-to-air, so they're closer to the standard than DAYS. Even British soaps are more ahead in their production than most American ones. And them being ahead three months also gives them time to adjust and tweak now for episodes, etc. which is smart.

It has taken me some time to get into The Bay, simply because its production model of the earlier years is very "indie" and it's not my favourite kind of look. But I can appreciate how he (along with Wendy Riche) have sustained that serial for as long as they have. They kind of set the standard. Same; they have zero control, and Michele Val Jean, Robert Guza Jnr & Sheila Ducksworth will keep their behinds in line.

Well, that would be happening right about now, and since I don't see it happening, we're with her for an extended period of time. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh, it was very obvious.

No; she's a heavy recurring. The actors in the opening credits are the 20 series regulars.

I do.

Disappointed Martin has left, as I do like him and think he's destined for great things beyond The Bay.

Oh wow. Wonder why Gregori left.

They though got this in the BAG!!! They're on FIRE!!!!

While I may not like Brad, I did enjoy seeing Parry Shen today, in every sense of the word.

I could see that; the definitley endgame couple who often marry/re-marry others.

I agree; they have chemistry as lovers and as exes, and I have a feeling they will be going back/forth as the serial goes on. I really do.

Thank you!! 💯

This is what we like hearing!!!!!

Horrible news.

He should be nowhere near television. Period.

He is a hack, though.

Strong opening, from Bill & Hayley, and then the Dupree family gathering for the press conference. I love that Dani walked in, ready to own the place (per usual). But the press isn't having it, despite Vernon trying to gussy up to the blonde reporter. Derek is giving jealous-possessive with Ashley where Andre is concerned, and he should be concerned. So cute naming the baby after Ashley; I had a feeling Alix would do that. A cute nod. Ms. Shanice is totally the gossip of Garland Memorial, and I am here for her presence. First night in, and Bill & Hayley are already butting heads. We love to see the cracks in the marriage already. Anita is definitely a blunt force; I can see where Dani gets it from, while Vernon and Nicole feel like the level-headed ones in the family. Interesting. It isn't the dynamic I thought we would get, based on the promos/publicity photos. Oh, Anita is giving the back story. We love to see it. Uh-oh Dani! Don't screw the pooch on this one. Shanice's maroon scrubs come with a longer thermal in a darker hue; kind of wish Ashley's teal scrubs did the same. Well, well, well.. here comes the drama couple! We love to see it. Disfiguring Hayley's face? Bill, it was a punch, and barely a mark appeared to be left on your precious wife's face. Oh, Martin has some kind of abusive/aggressive past, doesn't he?! Brandon is putting it together, doesn't he?! Teddy?! Oh no one is immune from Dani's wrath and bitten words. Oh, Brandon does not want to be the househusband. He wants to hit the ground running on his career. That's brilliant. Here comes Vernon's fire as the patriarch of the Dupree family. Oh, a flashback!! And Karla Mosley is in the dress she wore to the NAACP Image Awards. Beautiful. Mosley & Timon Kyle Durrett have both romantic chemistry and that fire former lovers need in daytime. They are magic. Oooo, get it Dani! Get it! YESS!!! NOT THE MARK ON THE FLOOR WHERE JEN JACOB (ASHLEY) NEEDS TO STAND IN THE SCENE! Oh, this marriage is not going to last of your new wife has your ex-wife on her mind on the night of your wedding?!

R.I.P. to Ms. Behr!! She is someone I always wished would've gotten one more chance at being a producer in daytime.

We did. A half-a-day day-player at the Savoy.

Not to mention jive turkey! They are giving us the eight-point words, which sets is so far apart from the other soaps. I love it.

Things have been a genuine struggle for me since their return from COVID, as with most soaps, that I felt didn't even try to take the downtime to reset and move forward fresh. Elliot's presence is a great comfort to see. It really is. As for the block taping and Jonathan Jackson, I only know what's printed in the media press, and that's what I do my best to stick to. That being said, Jackson's return as Lucky for me has left much to be desired, especially as someone who is not a Jackson fan.

Those scenes were good, but there's only so many times Jane Elliot can show up and save the day. The continued oversaturation of the gruesome threesome (Carly/Jason/Sonny) is overkill at this point. There's little consistency or direction, and it shows in the material these actors are being able to play every single day. The block-taping is also something that is becoming glaringly obvious. One day, Brennan is clean-shaven, and then the next day he's got a full goatee. It's that kind of taping that is blatantly lazy (to me). There is zero creative direction from anyone on this soap, and it's shameful because they had the talent in their cast to pull audiences back in.
