It will be nearly impossible to move on with life if Althea Davis ignores me! lol But alas. I stand by my statements that B&B will not be cancelled and that Brad Bell is not going anywhere. I watch B&B every day and enjoy it. Today included.

I think most of the people here will ignore your comments since you are not important to them and clearly again looking for attention and arguments, since your last comment didn't get any oxygen. I understand you need to tell us Twice how we don't have lives and we are a bunch of complainers. How insightful of you! 

But since I am way worse, Waaaay way worse, person than the people who will ignore you, I will give you some attention to keep you happy. So read this:

I prefer to be a complainer about a tv show, than an internet bully who harasses strangers on forums. It's not a good look.

P.S I agree that Lib Biberty is giving his all!

Actually, YOU are a bully Althea. I don’t need or want attention. I call it as I see it. B&B is doing fine. Brad Bell is fine. The complainers who don’t watch the show constantly wish for cancellation of a show they don’t watch, yet comment about every episode. You do try to bully people. You will not bully me, Althea.

At least complaining daily about how bad B&B is and should be cancelled gives the complainers something to do with their life.
B&B isn’t going anywhere and neither is Brad Bell, the longest continuous headwriter in daytime history! 

Not on Monday.

Days not even in the Top 10 on Peacock. When The Nanny reruns beat Days original episodes, something is wrong. Get back soon Ron Catlivati!

Brad Bell isn’t going anywhere and B&B isn’t being cancelled. Move on with your life if it pains you to watch the show. 

Ron Carlivati killing it with the returns for Doug’s memorial. Can’t wait to who Ron brought back next!

I don't understand what certain posters on this board need to hear in order to understand that P&G has made it perfectly clear they have zero interest in their soap opera history. Where's the mystery?

+1. There is no mystery.

I agree with the anti-Trina forces. She can go and I would not miss her. The show would not lose anything by her absence.

Agreed. That squeaky voice is SO annoying. Ugh. 

Such a boring revelation. Dull. Notice that Days isn’t even in Peacock’s Top 10 shows anymore. The audience is tuning out of the boring scab writers material. May and Ron’s return can’t come soon enough. The scab stuff is dull and boring.

Great to see a former GL cast member on the cover of TV Guide. Giancarlo Esposito played Clay Tynan for about 6 months from the end of 1982 until May of 1983. He didn’t have a huge storyline. I do remember him though. He must have been part of the Gail Kobe purge to bring in Texas people. 

GH is slowly improving. Still alot of work to do. Getting rid of Valentini would help but that doesn't seem to be on my instapal Nathan Varni's agenda. 

Give Genie something to do! Get those young actors some acting lessons! Get rid of squeaky Trina. Get rid of Dex. I FF through Trina and Joss. Ugh. 

Steve Burton is a welcome back great addition. He's killing his scenes. And he looks great. Those blue eyes. Yum.

Leo always makes me laugh. Always good to see him. Leo has the best one liners! B

It’s Samuel Ratcliffe. Please get the spelling correct. Samuel Ratcliffe. Brilliant writer.

Conversely, I've enjoyed the respite from constant plot-driven storytelling. There's been more insight into character motivations, greater interaction between previously siloed characters and scenes that last longer than 30 seconds. It's still not a great show by any means but I've found a fair amount to like about it.

Then again, I was weaned on Bill Bell's DAYS, when plot progression could take years. (Looking at you, Mike Horton.)

I respect all opinions. I just feel that Days is so boring and at its worst ever. Nothing happens. I get that it is the scab writers work. I want Ron Carlivati back. He doesn’t write boring episodes.

When is Ron Carlivati back? It can’t be soon enough! The show is so boring. Nothing ever really happens, except for Drake trying to emote. lol 

Watching last Tuesday’s GH. Steve Burton is fricking HOT!!! Lordy be. No wonder he keeps getting hired and re-hired.

Brad Bell has been the headwriter of a soap for the longest time in soap history. He doesn’t give a ‘f’ what fans want. Nor should he. Brad has been headwriter for 30 years!!!! He’s not going anywhere. The Bells own the show. Brad is doing what he wants. Good for him. He doesn’t bend to fans who don’t watch the show yet they comment on every episode. 

I find Days very dull. Trying to do my part by putting it on and do other things because they count the streams. I notice that Days is usually #9 on Peacock and many times not even in the Top 10. They used to be higher. Can’t wait until Ron Carlivati is back. At least the show is interesting when he’s writing Days. 

Thank you for including the women 18-49 and 25-54 total viewers. Wow! Pathetic numbers overall and the decline over the last few years is astounding. To think that CBS gave a 4 year renewal to Y&R to reach 289,000 women 25-54, the supposed target audience. There are 330 million people in the USA and 289,000 of women 25-54 watch Y&R. The press release for Y&R’s renewal stated 3.5 million daily viewers but it was unclear how they derived that number. It obviously included more than live plus same day. If it included all the platforms (delayed viewing, on demand, Paramount), that is not a significant increase from the live plus same day numbers. 

Dex can definitely go. Useless character and bad actor. Squeaky Trina can go. Joss can stay - but only with the recast who filled in while McCoy was out. Temp Joss was so much better.

Listen, I love Deidre Hall.  I'd be on the case if I thought she look ill or bad. She doesn't.  The lighting on days is worse than the lighting in my garage.  It makes young people look bad.  I don't expect a women nearly 80 to look fresh and young with lighting that amounts to a single ring light.

Difference of opinion. She’s looking more like her age. The bags under her eyes onscreen are new. The lighting must be different.

Deidre looks about the same she has for the last decade lol.  She looks great for a 76 year old woman lol

She does look good for 76, but the lighting hasn't been great for her lately. She definitely looks drawn.

Welcome to Elizabeth and Patrick! Hope that Frank stays out of the writing and lets the writers write. So far so good. I didn't care for Nathan Varni when he was overseeing GH for ABC a few years back due to his inexperience. I hope Nathan is more seasoned now and will keep Frank in line and not allow him to cast people in parking lots. And let the writers write!!!! That can't be said enough.

Deidre is not looking well. 

Bless his heart, Drake was trying to act but it was SO obvious that they put the glycerin drops into his eyes to make it look like he was crying. Bad acting all around.
