ABC is promoting the hell out of this show. It seems it gets more focus than its own soaps. Im sick of seeing it plastered all over the network every single day when I watch AMC and OLTL. I dont get why Frons and ABCD are pushing so hard for this. They should spend that advertising time and dollars on something like OLTL which actually deserves it

Are you fuckin serious? And they wonder why their soaps are so low rated. They don't promote them enough. The only soap I've ever seen that has gotten a billboard was GL when they first introduced its new production model.

And yes I'm sick to hell of those MVP promotions. They ruin the soap cliffhangers.

thats f-ing unbeleivable! I cant beleive ABCD/SN would do that. That is a CANCELLED soap from another country. I dont get why they are hyping it as the next best thing. They are even saying its a SN original soap when its clearly not the case

I find it shocking--it got a huge ad in Ent Weekly too. Shocking because, while I thought near the end it showed promise, it was a HUGE flop here in Canada--not just "a success but too expensive" which is what the network is now spinning it as. And really with the nudity cut for American tv there's even less reason to watch it :P It's like they didn't; actually watch the actual show to see if it would have an audience... And as a Canadian I'm not sure if I'm insulted they're pretending it's not an already done Canadian show or pleased :P

Wow, that is something to really be pissed off about. SOAPnet has absolutely no respect the soaps anymore. Even if they do suck, SOAPnet should still be the cheerleader that cheers them when they're good and kicks them when they're bad. Now they're out-and-out ignoring them to promote a show that aired ONLY TEN EPISODES. Does it even matter how the ratings do? Are they going to produce new episodes if the ratings are good enough? I'm positive that they won't, so it makes no sense for them to get a gigantic billboard to promote the show.

I can just imagine a gorgeous vintage picture of AMC's Jesse and Angie or OLTL's Tina on one side of the billboard with a current picture of J&A or Tina on the other side of it. *That* would have been awesome.

Amazing is an overstatement (tho I never saw the last ep that I think enver aired and was online only) but it did find its groove, even if its groove was less campy and over the top than the ads make it sound, I do agree it got much better. I certainly find it more interesting than GH Nightwatch... I read an interview with the young male star, the one who's getting all the publicity (shame as I found him the least interesting, acting and cahracter wise, of the guys) where he blamed its failure in Canada that we hold our hockey players up as saints and don't like seeing them doing bad stuff. LOL umm yeah right...

You are so right they should have used that space to promote Jessie and Angie and Tina. I was over at DListed where Andrea got the title of "Hot Slut of the Week" and there were people saying they would tune in just to see her. If they had promoted her return better they could have gotten a real boost for One Life's ratings and with the show as good as it is they could have kept some of it. Brian Frons is an idiot.

      I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.

      -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?

      This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.

      Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?

      WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.

      Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.

      Vanessa told Joey that her best friend had cheated and has a surprise daughter.  Joey said the same had happened to him.  I wasn't sure if Joey was saying he has an adult out-of-wedlock child?
