I'm sorry, to whoever said this doesn't change the viewing methodology? Think again! The scrolling across the screen further diminishes the illusion that you're not watching TV, and are instead watching a portal to the lives of real people. I remember raising HELL when networks started "rubber stamping" their logo on the bottom of the screen, because it interfered with my viewing. Admittedly, I've warmed up to that. But no way in HELL will I stand idly by while the higher-ups try to play THIS game. This is utterly intrusive, it RUINS the daytime viewing experience and it should be left to news programs that don't need that illusion for drama to suspend a person's disbelief.

This is the most disgusting thing I have EVER heard about!!!

Sorry, I'm very passionate about this issue and didn't mean to get carried away.

I mean, why not just, during commercial breaks, have a mini show where a screaming audience of fans holds posters for their favorite couples or whatever? And a host can interview fans and ask them their favorite parts about the show? That seems more logical, to me anyway, because it increases the chances that a viewer will stick around for the commercials, if the whole lineup is hosted and they don't want to miss the trivia and other cool gimmicks the net could pull during that break. This is just, mmm, a bad move, though. The fan ticker. I just hate that.

I personally thought the texts were annoying! It wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't take up a third of the screen. When Patrick and Robin were having close up moments, half of their head were cut off! That's what bothered me...how much of te screen it covered when it didn't need to...

    • I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?   
    • I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.
    • Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.
    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character
