It was excellent! I think it's my favourite MCU film since Infinity War. The cameos, the jokes, the references, the action scenes, the use of "Bye Bye Bye" and "Like A Prayer" were amazing. I'm so glad I didn't get spoiled about the cameos - they were really fun to see. Loved the end credits......and of course the post-credit scene that proved Deadpool was right. haha THR: Box Office: ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Lands 8th Biggest Opening of All Time With $205M, Makes R-Rated History

The Russo Brothers are back and so is Robert Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom. Doomsday will be released in May 2026 and Secret Wars in May 2027.

I enjoyed most of it. It was pretty cool and unique. And they pulled it off it the rain! I liked how they incorporated a lot of the city, from the Seine, the Eiffel Towel, the buildings, the bridges, the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden. And for Celine to cap it off like that was beautiful.

Yeah, I think it's safe to assume he's gone (I usually wait 4-5 weeks to see). It's about time he retired because he's old. LOL. He's had a long career in daytime. So that's another writer from the 80's to retire (assuming he did).

Thanks for some of the background info, Jason! Wow! This is pretty shocking......not that Carlivati was fired (which is to be expected whenever there's a new EP), but that his replacements are Cwikly and Ford. I enjoyed most of Cwikly's (and Brash's) tenure was HW and thought they got the shaft when Higley replaced them. Glad to see Paula get another chance. Ford has been with DAYS for so long, approximately 29 (non consecutive) years in total, working at basically every writing position except for HW, until now. I hope Janet, Paula and Jeanne will be able to work together to create a great show. They've all known each other for decades, so hopefully that's a good sign that they have a great working relationship. I could see Carlivati joining Y&R, or even going back to GH, as a breakdown writer. I honestly would prefer him as HW over Griffith.

Wow, surprised to see Marla Kanelos back. She left Y&R in 2012 when Josh Griffith came back. Interesting.

Another 90210 star who died way too young. RIP Shannen.

I reopened it. You should be able to post in in soon.

Thanks for the list @JAS0N47

Ratings for the week June 10-14, 2024

I believe there were huge floods in Florida during the week, plus multiple pre-emptions which all could've contributed to these huge drops across the board. You don't normally see 6 digit drops in total viewers.

Donna was saying Dan and Chris went to different department heads and "picking their brain" for ideas......which is utterly ridiculous. Donna, just do yourself a favour and stop trying to be an insider with all this "behind the scenes info." Otherwise, people have the right to make fun of these so called "scoops."

GH: - Erica Eng first listed as Director on June 10. GH continues to lead the way with giving minorities/females/newcomers to daytime a shot at writing or directing for the show. This is her site: https://www.ericaeng.com/

So Marin was only listed as script editor for 3 episodes. I guess Beall or Beldner (I don't even know who edits the show) was away for those episodes and couldn't do it.

Always nice to see some diversity and daytime-outsiders getting an opportunity. And he joined as a BDW Thanks for news @Errol. Dan has worked with Ron at OLTL and GH.

No, she's been listed with other SWs as well. I haven't watched this week's episodes yet.

If Frank and his chosen new HWs can get the show back to 0.3-0.4 18-49 demo and get to 2-2.3 million Total Viewers, I think he'll be safe for a long time.

Agreed! Frank has been the best EP for any soap opera for such a long time now. There's a reason why GH can oftentimes feel like a soap that was produced in the 90's and 2000's, before the soaps got their budget slashed and sets/cast started to shrink. They can still do big weddings and big events, and have 20+ cast members in an episods, or do Halloween and Christmas episodes with kids of characters we know, or do Nurses Ball, etc. As for as his job safety......maybe if even safer now than before if he didn't make the decision to hire PM/EK as Head Writers. He could go to the higher ups and be like "see......the ratings are low and they're not my HWs."

I think Carolyn and Richard would come out of retirement if they had a chance to be part of their daughter's team. Same with Courtney Simon. Two daughters of these fantastic soap writers are now the Co-Head Writers of a soap. That would be pretty cool.

Fresh blood.......promote Emily Culliton to Head Writer at GH. She's young and she's there already in the writers room so she's not coming in without knowing what's going on. And I would bring in her parents, Richard and Caroyln, to be her Co-Head Writers (secondary Co-HWs, not equal Co-HWs), to help her out with the politics, the structure, and everything that a HW has to deal with. You have new blood and you have experience all in one family, one team.
