The perfect, plastic-looking companion for Secret Agent Barbie. -

Except Kimberlin Brown. But I'm death these days on Republicans, so don't mind me.

As Bibi, Didi, Fifi or Kiki, lol?

Oh, c'mon. Everyone ends up at B&B eventually, lol.

Oh, well! See ya at B&B, Evan!

If I were writing this show, I'd go along with the idea of Johnny and Chanel getting a baby, but I'd show fairly quickly how ill-prepared and overwhelmed Johnny is by fatherhood - like, he'd want to go out and have fun, Chanel says they can't because the baby's sick or something, and Johnny doesn't understand why they can't just leave the baby with a nanny - with Chanel realizing she basically married a manchild who was never prepared to live in the real world.

Obviously, I can speak only for myself, but a daytime soap just isn't a daytime soap to me if it doesn't runs five days a week, 50-52 weeks per year. I mean, I could go along with taping two episodes per day, so that the team has a six-month hiatus to rest and recharge, but I still would need to know it'll be there, every Monday through Friday, uninterrupted, with no hiatuses or breaks. Of course, YMMV.

I wonder if that was the same Peter Andrews who had worked for years as a producer and director on GL.

If KL had been about four young/newlywed couples living in the same cul-de-sac, Kenny and Ginger might've had more story. Unfortunately, as I've said in the past, the inclusion of Gary and Val made the Wards redundant.
-
If nothing else, @Melroser's hypothetical production model would present the entire team - cast, crew and staff - the opportunity to recharge physically and mentally, and avoid the burnout that tends to happen when soaps are taped year-round. That, in turn, might lead to less cast/writer turnover. I think I've said this before, but bringing back the 15-minute soap would be a real "full circle" moment for the genre, allowing viewers once again to enjoy their stories in the time it takes them to eat lunch or have a "coffee break" from their jobs.
-
Although I think a 15-minute show would be much more desirable for streaming purposes, I definitely think your production model is doable, @Melroser.

Conversations you'd never, ever hear on any other soap!

Honestly, I fear now, not just for Ukraine, but for Zelenskyy's own safety as well. The man could very well become a martyr for his people at the hands of Putin.

I said the same thing when Ron Carlivati wrote that now-infamous scene with Monica and "Lester" sparring at the nurses' station. Granted, Lesley and Monica never were the best of friends, but I thought a lot of the animosity between them had dissipated by the time Denise Alexander left in '84. Plus, since when did people call Lesley "Lester"?
-
God knows it ain't because of the writing (sorry, "Yellowstone" fans), lol. I, myself, have long advocated for a soap set in the Great Plains region: Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, etc. Frankly, I've seen enough soaps supposedly set in the Midwest to last me the rest of my days.
-
I think @All My Shadows's idea for a rural-based soap has merit and potential as well. Such a show would offer viewers glimpses of a way of life that isn't often depicted on television, and certainly not on soaps.
-
On the one hand, @All My Shadows, I agree with you. The genre needs fresh characters and storylines - and ones that are rooted in reality - if it wants to reclaim its' relevance. But, on the other hand, I think those who have argued that an EON reboot in particular could be successful today make a very good point. (As a matter of fact, I'd even go along with an EON reboot that starred an African-American male as Mike Karr!)
