B&B is up for renewal in September then? We're two years away from the 40th anniversary.

@Chris 2 In her own way, Miss Ellie was a messy matriarch.

The Jeffersons in 1981 and The Simpsons in 1995 payed homage to Who Shot JR.

Ashley is the weak link of the main female cast members. I can't think of any major soap actresses in the 25-35 age range. That just shows how far the talent pool in daytime has dropped.

Don't put that out there in the universe.

Agree. Derek is the weak link of the main male cast members.

I had forgotten that this month would have Amelia Heinle 20th anniversary.

@Khan Firstly, Josh Griffith probably has no idea who Brooks Prentiss is, and secondly, if Josh Griffith digs into Y&R's past, he'd most likely fumble the execution.

Tank job!

I'm a 1990s teen as well. It was being a redhead that set MG apart from the sea of blondes that permeated CBS Daytime back then, especially Y&R/B&B.

I think most of the longtime B&B viewers are either watching out of habit or hate watching at this point.

With all the garbage time this month, I'm looking forward to the March Madness break.

I see what you did there They are the weak links of the show so far. Andre comforted and supported Dani. I'm sensing a love slowly growing in two weary hearts. Why are Andre/Ashley being shipped? I'm not seeing it.

Hayley all about the come up in the vein of Brenda Dickson original recipe Jill Foster and Brooke Logan.

@Taoboi So far BtG doesn't have any sets of brothers to fight over a girl.

From what I remember, it was sometime in Fall 1995.

I was waiting for BtG to have the classic soap element of sisters fighting over a guy, and it looks like that will be Kat/Eva/Tomas.

From what I remember the big favorite for 1996 Supporting Actor was Michael Sutton. The rest of the race was Ian Buchanan, Stuart Damon, David Forsyth.

When I watched GL in real time (Spring 1989-Summer 1992) I thought Maureen Garrett was one of the most beautiful women on daytime and she was in her 40s then.

1985/86 Murder, She Wrote beat Dallas to become CBS's highest-rated scripted show. Also 1985/86 Murder, She Wrote beat Dynasty to become the highest-rated drama across the broadcast networks. We think of Angela Lansbury as sweet and unassuming but she knocked big bad Larry Hagman off the throne at CBS and beat the diva of all divas of 1980s primetime soaps Joan Collins. That's just straight up savage. Even though Angela beat Joan in the ratings, Joan showed love to Angela on social media when Angela passed away. That was very classy of Joan to do so.

@Soapsuds I broke down Dallas 1984/85 ratings in its thread. There was a ratings drop starting March 1985. Five weeks after "Murder Takes the Bus" was broadcast, Murder, She Wrote would shock the world.

Here's what happened on the soaps and two rookie hits the week of March 11-17, 1985. The Cosby Show - The Younger Woman (episode 21, March 14, rating 28.3, #1): Cliff's widowed friend has found a new girlfriend who is young enough to be his daughter. Dynasty - Photo Finish (March 13, rating 24.2, 2nd): Sammy Jo is revealed as the person behind the incriminating photos being sent to Krystle and Blake. Prince Michael asks Amanda to marry him. Sammy Jo meets a woman who looks very much like Krystle. Dallas - The Verdict (March 15, rating 22.7, 5th): Ewing 17 is shut down for contaminating drinking water. Jamie rebuffs Cliff's advances. A verdict is handed down in Jenna's trial. Murder, She Wrote - Murder Takes the Bus (episode 19, March 17, rating 22.4, 6th): Jessica and Sheriff Amos Tupper are on their way to Portland when the sheriff's car breaks down. Anxious to reach their destination, they take a bus - not knowing that a killer is on board. This episode was the first time Murder, She Wrote finished right behind Dallas and at the time it was the smallest ratings point separation between the two (0.3). Falcon Crest - The Trial (March 15, rating 17.6, 20th): Richard bribes the judge presiding over Lance's trial. Melissa considers hiring a surrogate mother. Melissa's cousin Robin arrives. No Knots Landing on March 14.

Do you think Andre/Dani hook ups are going to turn into love?

I know the EP switch from JFP to Michael Laibson was May 1995 but when did Megan McTavish become HW? Laibson/McTavish were both gone in 1996.
