CBS: Lynn Marie Latham/Barbara Bloom *RUMOR*

[Chris B]

I read this on the LA Times Daytime Emmys board and thought I would pass it along, just in case. It's a rumor, as the poster states, but I'd like to hope it's true!

Note from me: On the Friday that began Out of the Asses, they actually declined in ratings, so that 10% increase would probably be lower. Also, considering how much promo that story got (and doubling the budget), you *know* Sony was pissed. At best they gained like 200,000 viewers, not matching the 6 million they were getting in February.

What do you guys think? Good news? Rubbish rumor?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Let's just hope to GOD it's TRUE.

I'd love Wendy Riche back in daytime, either back at GH or any other show. I think she could do WONDERS with Y&R.

[YRBB]

I pray and hope and BEG that all this is true!

I REALLY hope we get Kay Alden back, paired with a good EP, and that we see Latham disappear from soaps for good! I really do hope that!

I believe Babs Bloom will be canned - but for allowing the entire CBSD lineup to falter, and not just Y&R.

[Vee]

I'd like to believe it. But let's just say that some people's thirst for attention knows no limits at just one board, and I've seen this movie before.

[AddictedToSoaps]

Hmm interesting.

[DaytimeFan]

I want ALL of this to be true. If these rumors were to occur...good Lord...Y&R might have a shot at redemption.

Why is Barbara Bloom being blamed? She has been advocate for all of the CBS soaps.

[Chris B]

Barbara Bloom is the one who brought LML to CBSDaytime and the PGP have been in a sad state for over a year and she has done nothing to stop it. She even writes for Y&R from time-to-time, but can't spare a second to think about the other soaps.

SHe has been an absolute disaster at CBS if ya ask me.

[Khan]

Because, aside from B&B, which appears to be on the upswing - no small thanks to Kay Alden joining the writing staff, thank you - CBS Daytime, once the most (relatively) stable and consistent lineup, has been bitch-slapped into the old crapper.

[NeoAngelicLiz]

Most likely its just a rumor.

[stenbeck212]

I'm glad to read that people with power are looking way beyond this years Emmy wins and the CBS ratings surge with 3 of its soaps leading the pack. All of that is masking undeniable incompetence.

[stenbeck212]

Still a rumor? It's getting pretty darn specific:

[NeoAngelicLiz]

Oops wrong place.

Barbara Bloom thinks Ellen Wheeler and her pet poodle are doing great at GL. It is obvious to everyone except the idiots in charge that Kreizman and Wheeler are hurting GL big time.
