To each his own, but I SOOO must disagree with you. DESIRE looks so boring. It's like "girl torn between two guys." No catfights, no catty lines. DESIRE looks like it takes itself way too seriously.

FASHION HOUSE, on the other hand, looks as though it revels in the soap tradition and embraces camp like a long lost cousin. I am really excited about Bo Derek's Maria Zianni character. Every clip I've seen online, she has some of the most fabulous lines!

I wonder if all the telenovelas will have this balancing act: one soap that is very romantic and dramatic, and the other, which happens to be fun and campy.

Just did some research and I am *not* amused.

On my local cable service, we get 1 WB station and 1 UPN station. Both are shifting over to CW. Kentucky will only have 1 MyNetworkTV station (WMYO, formerly WFTE). We *used* to get WFTE, but apparently we haven't had that station in a few years. This means that I *won't* be seeing anything on MyNetworkTV because it's not on my cable system.

I am NOT AMUSED.

Dude, that [!@#$%^&*] sucks!

You should call your local cable provider and/or the affiliates if you have time during the day Tuesday to get the full story. I find it pointless that your cable outlet would want to put TWO CW Networks on the cable lineup.

What COULD possibly happen is one of the CW affiliates could be carrying both CW programming AND MyNetworkTV novelas(just airing those after CW programming or during the daytime).

My local MyNetworkTV affiliate is airing a half-hour teaser of "Desire, a half-hour teaser of "Fashion House" and then an hourlong MyNetworkTV premier party during the 8 to 10 block. So don't wait til Tuesday to catch it.

Matt, the does stink. I'm really surprised by the number of people who are in an area that wouldn't be carrying the programming.

bellcurve, do you know of anywhere where they are airing "Desire" and "Fashion House" in the daytime? I know the Boston FOX affiliate was going to show them at 1-3 in the afternoon if an affiliate wasn't found, but they managed to find one.

lol. I was just curious cause my computer has been giving me problems lately and I've missed some stuff. Apparently around December MyNetworkTV is gaining a daytime lineup of some sorts revolving around some imported game show so I wasnt sure if I had missed something.

What would give MyNetworkTV more cred from soap/daytime fans is if they decided to air SANTA BARBARA. It's kind of a long shot, because of how expensive the rights(esp. the musical rights) are, but since New World Television is now owned by NewsCorp(the same company that owns MyNetworkTV), it would be a match made in heaven. It would definitely give growing cablet, SOAPnet, some competition.

Even if it IS game shows, I'm glad they are deiciding to give the network a daytime lineup.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
