te.

Weird that Cady of all people would be the one to drop this though - I wonder if it means that they're indeed taking inventory of the episodes they do have? Why else would she of all people suddenly know this if there's no talk about it backstage?

Maybe I just know too many based gays who love Nina van Horn.

Don't get me wrong - both Mad About You and Just Shoot Me were never huge hits on their own and ended up crashing hard when they tried to "revamp" the shows (because they didn't have a large enough following to sustain a backlash in the first place), but I get the feeling when people talk about those shows online they had their own specific followings unlike Caroline in the City and Suddenly Susan.

Just Shoot Me mostly aired on Tuesdays in seasons 1-4 until it was moved to Thursdays in seasons 5-6. So it had survived on its own before it had its audience amplified by Friends - by the time it was moved back to Tuesdays the steam had just run out on the show. Agreed on Suddenly Susan and Caroline in the City though.

There was definitively a reason why the Coach revival from a few years ago was scratched. I think there's also shows that did OK on their own and had a following, but whose audience were amplified by airing in certain time slots. Mad About You and Just Shoot Me I feel were two of those comedies that technically had their own followings, but also were kind of middling on their own. Maybe Coach fits more into that category.

Apparently, being an underwear model is the main requirement to play Ben Weston.

Not sure why anyone's looking at broadcast ratings when it was never what kept it alive in the first place... Meanwhile, it's #2 worldwide on Netflix, two days after release of season 5: https://flixpatrol.com/title/dynasty-2017/

They should've re-cast him with a 35 year old hot hunk actor. It just doesn't feel like the Mike Horton we know when he's played by a guy in his 50s.

Not surprised. No one in my (gay) circle seemed to watch this. Just reading the description it seems utterly unrelateable to me.

In my mind, Allison was murdered by Jack Chandler. But I did like how they never properly solved it - of course, mostly because they were probably thinking about possibly re-casting or that Mia would agree to come back - but they made it reflect nicely to what a lot of parents experience when children run away from home; that uncertainty if they're out there alive and well or if they're not, and having to move on despite that uncertainty.

Interesting! I think a lot of the issue is that there's no rush to catch up on today's episode if it doesn't air on tv since you can watch at your own pace - time will tell if people will binge watch the episodes they missed.

Thanks - I find the sort-of continuity-but-not-really they did for RTPP and the follow up movies (the last one being a pitch for a 80s prime time soap opera) very odd. I guess Return to Peyton Place didn't kill Allison off, which was a common theme.

I'm not surprised - there was a reason why DAYS was still on the air despite being its own island on NBC daytime for over a decade; there's a reason why it seemed that the affiliates were shocked by this move. I doubt DAYS will go back on air though.

Too bad the one who captured it couldn't do a proper rip as the scene in the promo looks decent - especially for a "special" effect on a daytime soap I guess. Was the promo for the pilot? (hence them stressing over "the NEW Peyton Place")

DAYS watchers are notorious smokers and bon-bon eaters. It is very well known. Candid image of the typical DAYS watcher:

To be fair - I think writing a long-term murder mystery where we're simultanously surprised at the killer while it also makes perfect sense is hard - if not impossible thanks to online chatter dissecting every detail. With that said, I much prefer straight-forward solutions rather than attempting to do something convulted for the sake of being shocking.

To be fair, it's not that I even dislike it as such (hey, it makes as much sense as anyone!) and the post-JER late 90s/early 00s era is the first time I fell out of the show (having watched since the Carly's buried alive episodes), so I've never had any long-lasting affection to Nancy and Craig. With that said, I find it hilarious considering that they tried to calm down upset Nancy/Craig fans with how it was emotionally relevant, not some cheap stunt etc. And now they potentially have Craig murdering a legacy character in cold blood over... Leo.

The only good thing about the launch on Peacock is that it went immidiately there without a break and that they at least have a year of episodes to evaluate its performance. But that's pretty much it - as you said, this decision should've been made months ago (or preferably, NBC/Peacock should've been clear that they were going to move it from the start) and the show probably should've been put on production hiatus (which would've been no issue since they're filming so far ahead) for them to re-group with the move. Ideally, I would've gone with them doing a soft reboot - tie up most stories for the broadcast viewers but leave with a cliffhanger to follow it on Peacock. Tighten up the cast so that potential curiosity viewers can catch up quickly and cut it to 20-30 minutes (which is always the ideal format for a daytime soap).The time jump move would've been perfect for this.

I think it's worth remembering that they're just doing this to be nice - it's a show that ended almost 35 years ago, unlikely to ever land a profitable syndication deal and won't be realistically released on DVD/Blu-Ray. So taking time out to promote something that's unlikely to ever earn them money is just a bonus.

lol, if it is Craig then it pretty much goes against everything they claimed him coming out as gay storyline was about. So he comes out as gay, gets engaged with the worst person in Salem and then starts murdering people. Such an inspiring and moving storyline had by all. On the other hand - at least Craig is somewhat relevant to the cast than let's say Li Shin (who I had my money on being the killer since he could just be easily written out without any long-term reprecussions) or Jackie Cox.

Someone should reboot Peyton Place if there's any show.

I did point out that Graham's voice changed in the last scene...

Why does Allison support Carson so much?

I will say this - they do drop hints who the murderer is...

With Abby's murder and Saleisha from Top Model and Lamon leaving do they literally only know when people are leaving the day before, hence the rushed scripts? You'd think they would be better at writing exit stories...
