As of yesterday, ABC axed the previews at the end of AMC, OLTL, and GH. SOW says it was a cost-cutting move, but didn't reveal which soaps it would affect. Yesterday the question was answered when we saw that ABC was the one SOW was talking about.

Todd's behavior doesn't make me think he has any romantic feelings for Marty. His discomfort over touching her was good today. Hate that Natalie is so stupidly willing to believe that Jessica is reaching out to her. Loved Delphina.

Had to laugh though when I visited another board where they've begun to refer to whatever it is that's developing between Todd and Marty as "The Grossening".

I dont think its stupid. Shes just so desperate for forgiveness and her sister's acceptance that she'll take anythign Jess can give her. Her own guilt is whats driving her here

Todd and Marty have always had chemistry and Im seeing it here too. Too bad he's a kidnapper rapist and its beyond sick what he's doing to her

It made sense to me though. People believe what they want to believe and Natalie wants to believe her relationship with jess can be repaired. It also makes Natalie look vulnerable, which I think it good. I like that Ron is being fair in this story. It's pretty easy to sympathize with both Nat and Tessica, if you are inclined to.

I do hope that someone points out to Tess, that all of this is her fault as much as anyone's. Jared probably wouldn't have come to town if Tess hadn't sent him to prison.

Madame Delphina is awesome. I'd love for her just to stick around and weave in and out of storylines as someone that the other characters can turn to for guidance.

I still want someone to kick Tess's ass just because I don't like her. The nerve of her acting all upset, as if she's this pure being. Bitch, puh-lease. I love that my Jar-bear didn't really warm up to her, he seemed very suspicious of it the whole time.

Once again, Langston and Markko prove that they have gallons of good sense whilst Cole and Starr have none. Starr continues to be so ridiculously childish..."WHY DIDN'T COLE CALL ME BACK!? WHY DIDN'T HE ANSWER MY CALL!?" Man up, bitch! Go confront his ass! And Cole is becoming Todd, which is interesting. It's more than understandable that Starr would fall in love with a guy who reminds her of her father, and I'm glad that we're starting to see some of those overprotective Todd qualities surface in Cole. It might make the character more entertaining. Markko and Langston are awesome as always. Markko looks particularly good in that apron and with his new hair.

Blair/Delphina = comedy gold.

I'm glad that they've gotten rid of the previews, but there's one thing I'll miss about them. I've always loved it when AMC or OLTL would have a particularly good cliffhanger and the show would end, and while I'm wearing my best WTF face, all I hear is "Stay tuned for scenes from the next..." Hell, I'd keep that bumper and just not have previews lol.

Give me a break, of course my Nat would believe that. Is she supposed to be all-knowing? She wants her sister to forgive her.

Also, I disagree with any talk of Jared's character being "retconned." The seeds were planted for Jared's rocky history and need for father figures and family very early on, when Charlie and Jared were first revealed to be related last year. Over time, it became evident to Jared that what Pamela said was true: That despite what he'd thought, his need to be a Buchanan was not just about money and power and revenge, but about his desire for loving family ties. Like it or not, that stuff was all there long before the strike.

      Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

      This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.

        @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.

      Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions.
