Good to see B&B continue its great season in W18-49. It has a real shot of taking the season crown from Y&R in that demo. That said, it's strange to see it even in W18-49 YOY yet down a full tenth YOY (along with GH & Y&R) in W25-54. Worst retention yet of B&B's demos for BTG at 54% W18-49 & 66% W25-54. What's ironic is that last week it had its best W25-54 hold since April. Hopefully that bought the show some leeway.

Electra becoming an insecure bitch is long overdue. Pleasantly surprised that the actress pulled it off. Likewise, I thought they actress who plays Dylan played her reaction well. The Hope/Taylor scenes we nice. I like that Hope respects Taylor despite their family baggage. Steffy hooking up with Deacon would be epic.

For sure. She's easily #3 after Jordan & Ripa in the best current career pecking order for AMC alumni from the 90s on. At the moment I'd say Josh Duhamel & Tichina Arnold are on the next tier, followed by Mark Conselous & Gellar.

I liked them too. It feels organic that Eric would feel that being pushed aside is a bridge too far. At the other end of the spectrum, Steffy agreeing with Electra that she shouldn't shack up as much with Will to appease Eric was ridiculous. Chastity was never one his core values.

She's been in four one and done series since Buffy ended. Not counting cameos, her last hit movie was in 2004.

Talk about a full circle moment if SMG uses the ample earned media she'd gain from an onscreen reunion with Susan Lucci to help promote her Buffy revival.

I've never claimed that. I'm not sure if it's a reading comprehension issue on your part or if you're being purposely deceptive but we were discussing altering the Canadian companies about the preemption not the preempitons themselves.

Where did I blame the preemptions on them? Obviously the network schedules, not the production company. But then they should alert their international partners. You don't think it's curious why this is happening repeatedly?

It's not the US network's responsibility, it's the production company's. Granted they are owned by the same entity in this case.

Isn't this at least the 4th or 5th time this has happened? This never happens with Bold unless there's a news interruption and then it's rectified the next day so it must be a CBS Studios issue. At least Bell Media won't care anymore because they moved it out of the simulcast slot.

Something positive for all shows: -GH up YOY in 18-49 -Y&R first in both demos -BTG retained almost 87% of B&B's W25-54 demo -B&B won its first quarter ever in W18-49

Or - hear me out - they had the option to air the actual show.

Sure, but I still think it's a bad programing move. It's a holiday where people have the day off and likely to be at home because of the cold weather, paying off holiday expenses, no planned festivities, etc. The network could have scheduled a repeat on NYD with the rest of the lineup in repeats instead. Unless that was a test to see how the show did following a B&B repeat.

No red flags for new RJ's debut. I liked hearing the classic music cue for his intro. Not to nitpick, but a voiceover telling us who the new actor is isn't necessary when the character has been gone for over a year. Especially when someone names them a second later.
