Confirmed Megan Is Out on AMC

I think that was true in the early and late '90s, but I FIRMLY believe JER gives into money now.

"Passions" viewers know there's a character named Judge Reilly on that show. He's a crooked judge who accepts bribes. JER has made it a point, on several occasions, to say, specifically, that Judge Reilly can be bought. He can sell out. I firmly believe he was trying to send a message to viewers that "Days" or NBC paid him to rewrite the controversial "Days" serial killer storyline so they'd all be alive, and that he just bowed to the money and allowed his first vision to be compromised.

So, if ABC offers JER the right deal, I could see him bending. That's what he's become.

McT has a proven track record with ratings. Save her early 90's stint with FMB (when AMC almost consistently ranked #2), she pulls a stunt, ratings go up for a week or so, the stunt is over, and she has nothing but boring filler in between. That’s what happened during her last two stints with the show. She brought AMC down to a 2.4 not too long ago. The woman is not good. We need someone with a clear vision for the long-term. We need someone that doesn't prop their pets. We need someone with some creativity. JHC needs to go, too.

The ratings are up because she pulled a gimmick out her ass just like she always does. She writes (wrote, Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) plot point to plot point, with no thought to the fall out. Ratings will more then likely plummet after this week, it's her pattern. We're tired of her breaking AMC's foundation down one rewrite at time. She got what she deserved. I'm not sad. I'm not sorry. It should have happened last year. I hope the door hits as they're throwing her out it. Good riddance!

Oh, ouch! I don't know if I'd go THAT far, as to what you're alluding, ( :o :o :o ), but I think JER is an under-the-table kinda guy (money-wise). He said as much about his television alter-ego, Judge Reilly. I just know he was trying to send a message to his fans, that now, he can be bought -- just like Corday or NBC, or whoever, paid him off to rewrite the Salem serial killer story -- and make "Days" traditional again. You KNOW he didn't want to go there, especially since he was brought on to do the OPPOSITE!

LIKE McTavish?! I LOVE McTavish!

HER "AMC" is what finally got me HOOKED on this show.

She brought on the best mother-daughter soap duo EVER in Babe and Krystal.

She created the AMAZING character of Zoe/Zarf, the incredible and controversial potential romantic pairing of BARF (:wub:) and she wrote this suspenseful and INTELLIGENT (and actually sensical) Satin Slayer umbrella story.

And once again, JR is the best bad-ass in daytime, Aiden is painfully HOT, as is Josh and, to a lesser extent, Del.

Then there's the "next big" couple, Annyan. :wub:

Let's not forget that PHENOMENAL Dixie is dead episode. Sad twist, but that was the best hour of daytime television, surely the saddest as well, in at least a year.

This soap is the best written, acted and produced of all on daytime, in my opinion. What is NOT to love?! :huh: :huh: :huh:

Eh, would depend how something like this was done. POD Erica would just whine and shreek at him the whole time. If it were the REAL Erica Kane, it would good drama. I'd rather her divorce her husband, tell her family to kiss off, get Enchantment back, find some stud boy toy , and start rebulind her life. Heck if I had my way, she'd charter a plane and be on top of David, I mean, visiting David, before any of use knew what hit her. ;)

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
