Is MyNetworkTV covered in "Digest"?

MyNetworkTV, despite the fact that these shows air in primetime and are not the standard traditional soap operas, why are they not covered in Soap Opera Digest? If they are, then maybe I missed something.

But I e-mailed Carolyn Hinsey and asked her if she plans on doing an opinion column about DESIRE and FASHION HOUSE and she said, "I'll think about it."

WHY is SOD thinking about it? I may consider buying Digest again if there were more recaps, interviews, and news(not spoilers, but news) about MyNetworkTV, a network channel that is, eseentially, a mini-version of SOAPnet.

Are the big three forcing SOD to not cover these shows in their magazine because these two shows are competition for them(especially AMC and OLTL, which both air in primetime on SOAPnet). I just really wanna know.

My Network TV bought a two-page ad that ran in Soap Opera Digest magazine in early September.

It's obvious that My Network TV know that they have to reach that daytime soap audience and that's why they bought a two-page ad in SOD.

I also think that Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly should add these two telenovelas to their news, spoilers, & recaps coverage.

The only magazine that I saw cover anything My Network TV related was the ABC Soaps In Depth magazine and that's only because Morgan Fairchild (ex-Sydney, "The City") was a former ABC Daytime star who is now on MNTV's Fashion House. But for the most part Soaps In Depth only cover ABC & CBS soaps. They stopped publication of their NBC magazine over 10 years ago.

The My Network TV telenovelas (Desire & Fashion House) air when "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" are in primetime on Soap Net.

Perhaps ABC and Soap Net are not happy about the competition from My Network TV and that's why the soap magazines are not covering them.

    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "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.
