I definitely think the RTD era has aged poorly, but when he’s good, he’s excellent, and I’m interested in seeing what he does after all these years. I’m somewhat surprised that he’d want to return to that crucible, given the creative freedom offered by his other projects. They can’t have offered him much money, as they don’t have much money to spare.

Good that they have protocols in place, but would Joy and Sara be potentially close contacts? What does this mean for the show in the near term? Would Sunny be remote or off the show?

No cause of death offered. The U.K. entertainment industry feels like it’s gotten hit hard this year.

I can’t with Paris’s stupidity. It’s deeply unpleasant to watch her be this dumb.

I saw Star on the 9/11 ep, and yes she did fit in well.

She was on as a panelist? Love her too. She’s as real as they come.

F*** that dude. Glad he’s getting roasted in the replies.

Yep. I need to break the habit like so many others have. For many longtime viewers, Guza was enough lol. Glutton for punishment right here! Just need to let the Ryan’s Hope YouTube playlist roll during the daytime hours.

This is probably the longest time I’ve actually watched GH on a daily basis since the early 2000s (due to the pandemic and having fewer obligations). But ooof, trash. Can’t do it. Nope. I thought they *might* actually have the balls to really shake things up. Very naive.

Ariana is a nice addition to The Voice, but I’m kinda over that show. It’s always been about the celebs and their banter. Which works if you love the celebs and their chemistry, but it gets old, even with a new panelist every few years. The show I really love is Songland, with a panel of star songwriters like Ryan Tedder judging and workshopping songs with aspiring songwriters, who pitch songs for a different artist each week. It’s a great window into that creative world. I totally agree that ABC saw “old white guy” with Tom, but they didn’t see the value in that particular “old white guy.” If they were aiming for a change, someone with more warmth (like a Nick Cannon or a Cat Deeley, who are great hosts on their Fox shows) would have been better. Last year, I remember Artem’s partner was injured, and he stopped by during the live show to chat with Tyra and update everyone on his partner’s condition. After the interview was over, Artem was just standing there while Tyra was introducing the next performance, and Tyra sorta scooted over so Artem wouldn’t be in her shot. That’s the kinda vibe I get from her.

What’s the point of Ridge siccing Justin on Quinn and Carter?

Which is also telling, yeah, because DWTS has traditionally had an older audience. Even the reliable senior-citizen crowd is bailing, and they’re losing the younger ad demos they’ve been so doggedly pursuing.

By the way, the show premiered much lower than last year, 0.9 in the demo vs. 1.3 last year. Meanwhile, The Voice (with Ariana Grande as a new judge) had a 1.1, down only slightly from a 1.2 last year.

I hate these fücking cheap Wednesday dream episodes.

Josh O’Connor stabbed himself in the forehead with his Emmy. He totally seems like that guy. More in his Variety profile: https://variety.com/2021/tv/awards/josh-oconnor-the-crown-emmys-mothering-sunday-1235070500/

Not to be super dramatic, but it’s a breach of trust. Soaps are asking a lot of viewers to commit to five hours a week in the hopes that stories are going somewhere. If a movie has a crap ending, you’ve only lost two hours lol. There are other stories going on with potential, like you say, but how do we know they aren’t gonna eff those up too, especially with Spencer and Trina, whom I really enjoy? I’m not as loyal to GH as I am to Y&R, which was my very first soap dating back to childhood, so I’m not sure I want to go along for the ride with GH anymore. I dunno. Enjoying the “moments” is one thing and I see how people can stick with the show for those, but GH shows their viewers a lot of disrespect.

What’s notable with these spoilers (and the ones you shared further out) is there’s little to no Nina/Sonny/Carly/Jason. Unless they simply aren’t sharing what happens. It’s almost as if they’re saying, forget the past nine months happened. Nothing to see here. It’s very deflating as a viewer.

They so want those viral moments. I don’t even understand why BAG and Sharna would *want* to dance together. Talk about potentially putting a strain on a new-ish relationship. Maybe BAG wants to brag a bit, considering his ex Megan Fox is all loved up on Machine Gun Kelly everywhere you look.
