Meh. I don't really have anything to say. Scott sounds as brain-washed as John Black is. And Maria sounded more human, but didn't really say anything.

Not really much to say about any of it. I'm so ambivalent these days about both shows. I just wanted to make sure people knew it was there. Didn't say there was anything interesting.

Precisely. And Scott offended DOOL actors. :lol:

I liked this part:

TVG: Well, I'm hoping you and Hogan can reclaim your 4.0 rating. At
ATWT
, he won Emmys and ratings love. It can be done. Have you asked your brother-in-law,
B&B
chief Bradley Bell for advice?

MB: We used to be writing partners way back when in the late '80s and early '90s. It was a lot of fun, but you know, there's a lot of cross-town family rivalry, too! Each of us want to come out on top, and be No.1! [Laughs] Which I think is healthy…

TVG: And your cast isn’t so bad either. Heck, you’ve even made me like Adrienne Frantz [Amber]… [laughs]

MB: I am blessed with the most talented cast on daytime.
How could I go wrong?

Let me count the ways...

Yeah, I did smile at that. (Although "Writing Partners"?! ON what? B&B? She was just a SCRIPT-WRITER!)

Both interviews just seemed like lip service. And I'd like to believe Hogan/Maria will be an amazing team, but I'm not really sure anyone can make a fair and balanced assessment until it starts airing. And even then, I'd give it a few months. Maria's far been the savior many people wanted her to be due to her last name. (And yes, I know nobody actually said "savior". I'm not saying anyone did. Just that when fans heard "A Bell" was going to headwrite Y&R, that held a lot more weight than any other head writer they could have brought in)

I don't know WHAT to say about Ed. "I like Ken." "I like Dena." "Hulk smash."

Promising a fun summer... and talking about balancing each other out... I've heard it all before. It's like Maria was repeating the words we have been using on the forum during the last few months... this summer better be good! I don't want another disappointment.

That's not entirely true. After the first Emmy sweep in 2001, ATWT shot up to #3 in the households, and stayed in that vicinity for that entire summer (the summer of Craig's trial/boathouse fire)

ATWT stayed in those parts (#3/#4) in households for another year/year and a half, before they started to fall again.

    • I admit...I too thought of Penny and Good Times at that ending with SilkPress.
    • Yes, just so.  Thanks for the info. I could tell this was going to be a big thing with ShawnD in this danger! Especially love that the little guy is Andrew!
    • I think the shocker would be if he's NOT playing Dumas. That's where Josh Griffith plays most of his stories. Now they have Cole "self-isolating" because they don't want to put up that hospital set. Will Cole cough himself to death at the GCAC? What a "storyline." I can't believe how much JG is playing with us regarding Nick and Sharon. The teasing has become pathetic, especially for Shick fans who want them back together. My guess is that he'll reveal his real name once he is exposed.
    • Maybe we'll meet Leslie's mama who'll be a former Articulette and they'll build the rival family from there that a lot of people seem to think is missing. It'd make sense considering Anita's been hammering on about going on tour and reviving her music career. 
    • hahaha at the Brennan shade.   But even I saw this and have to agree. What's really sad is that some of the person on that list could easily have a love interest that is on the canvas. They just need to be written for. 
    • The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.
    • True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued. 
    • That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
