In the Los Angeles market the local news airs at 11 am and then gets an entire block from 3-6 pm. It is completely excessive.

At one time Black people weren't allowed to have vanilla ice cream. That would have been a good angle, but there was so much less research on Black history back then that it wouldn't have even been a remote possibility for Generations' bible. With a gated community real estate would make sense as the industry that made one of the primary families wealthy.

I would like to see a family led by an older LGBTQ+ couple,

I have no doubt the writing will be good simply for the fact that Black people have to work three times as hard as others just to get an opportunity and most are aware of that. Michele Val Jean probably didn't write present anything that she didn't recalibrate over and over (meaning synopsis, logline).

If I recall correctly Wheeler was trying to emulate The Hills with the outdoor and handheld filming on Guiding Light. If Atlanta is the filming location it's possible that Tyler Perry Studios would be production where the show was shot. There is a ton of space there because his shows are the few where I've seen almost every character have their own places and workplaces. A big gripe of soaps is that a lot of characters are crammed into the mansions of the main families or at the town hotel. I could see Tyler charging the show reasonably for use of the soundstages because he is supportive of Black causes and for the credit of "filmed at Tyler Perry Studios".

Let's remember that not all gated communities are wealthy and some have a mixture of incomes. There is also the angle that the community could be gentrified and that this gated community has changed the character of the neighborhood to the chagrin of the working class that are still there. I live in an area with a lot of wealthy people and the Target stays full so if you portray wealth from a regular people standpoint it can work.

There will probably be at least three families plus assorted characters not in any of the families if it's an hour. I'd like to see one character who is not wealthy, but manages to work extremely hard to afford a home in the community and has to struggle for respect. That often happens in gated communities.

It's possibly a working title to help build hype because announcing something with no title doesn't get as much attention. Most likely there are treatments and synopsis floating to spark interests amongst actors even if casting hasn't begun. Writing scripts is definitely important but casting is going to be of a high priority too because the leads have to be able to draw in viewers.

Passions made every actor on there look like a clown regardless of talent. Of course some people were just plain talentless. I still don't know where they found Rodney Van Johnson because he was another level of mess.

In the Los Angeles market there has been one slot that has been local years and local news occupies it so that probably will easily go to GATES.

GATES is better. It will be much better for hash tags on social media because TG can get lost amongst random hash tags.

My mom posted this news on my Facebook timeline an hour ago and I thought it was a joke or something so I came here to find out if it was real. Obviously this is wonderful news for soaps. The past decade has shown that Black audiences can brings numbers to sustain programming in primetime and I think CBS is banking on that.

Had been meaning to start this topic earlier in the month but never got around to it. What are some of the best performances by Black performers in daytime? Y&R had some pretty great performances by Tonya Lee Williams (AIDS storyline) and Victoria Rowell (Dru confronting her mother) which have become iconic overall and of course Debbi Morgan has always received acclaim for AMC, but I'm curious about other great performances outside of what is iconic and performances that don't get much recognition.

Hard year for OLTL alumni. I really feel for Sherri Saum and their children, because this is devastating.

I was watching old Y&R clips for amusement and was shocked to find out that Mamie is back. That hairstyle makes her seem like a completely different character.

Those Logans just can't keep their lips off Forresters, can they?

Right. Real writers would never propose anything like that.

For fun I asked ChatGPT to write me a synopsis for a Knots Landing reboot and I was impressed how interesting this concept sounds. Granted I didn't mention any of the original characters so it didn't factor them in.

The fact that Scott Perry said that Byron Donalds is big in stature, but nice goes to show that these people are still racist even towards those who agree with them. That was a perpetuation of the big, scary black man stereotype.

The spin is that Palin lost because she is unpopular, which is true, but if this year was really a Republican wave Palin would have won easily despite being unpopular. Republicans are desperate to hold on to the wave narrative, but this is the second special election defeat in as many weeks. They failed to take a narrow Biden district and now they have lost a Trump district.

Yesterday I started thinking that these documents he stole had to have some value. Documents incriminating to him would have been destroyed so the pieces really fit now that we know he had classified material. We know he will do anything for money.

He hosted the charity show I sang in on Sunday.

Not show related, but I got a high five from Eric Martsolf. Just wanted to say that.

The Finn and Steffy reunion was nice. Not overwrought or underwhelming, but just right. Deacon is an idiot if he doesn't turn Sheila in.

Li does not mess around, she took Mike down to the floor.
