Because some of us want to a) protect our sources B) not be responsible for the BS that comes with dropping it.

Sometimes getting credit for breaking scoop isn't worth it.

You yourself have had scoop and chosen not to share. It's the same thing.

Well, there's a whole lot of people - and you know it - who are present precisely because of that: "credit for breaking the scoop". But... I mean - what's the point of your source telling you and then not let you tell it to other people? (This is also a question for myself.)

I would write also another thing, but so far 2-3 of my posts got deleted so there's no point in writing anything "unfavourable" if it's not going to make it "on air".

Frankly, Sylph, I don't believe that's the issue here. Toups' source(s) probably don't care at all if Toups passes the information along, since Toups, himself, has never named any of them (AFAIK). It could be just that 1) Toups thinks it is no one (else)'s business, or 2) the wailing and gnashing of teeth that is sure to emanate (sp?) from divulging all that he knows is simply not worth it.

As someone who has never given a care about DOOL (with the exception of that hilarious Kristen/Mary Moira/Banks sisters storyline) I want to read that MS. MEGAN MCTAVISH is the new headwriter just so I can read everyone's responses!!! :) :)!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to read Nelson's column on Monday!

I hope it is good news for Y&R. Personally, Ed Scott returning to Y&R is a step in the right direction. Although he doesn't seem to get along with anyone! (Well, except Melody)

Just a speculation.....I don't think it's any casting news.....I don't think JER is coming back....I don't think DAYS is getting cancelled. :mellow:

Ahhh...I'm not going to be online tomorrow when Nelson drops the bomb. I'm gonna miss all the action. :(

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I wrote my previous post about Dante being on a 3-day rant while I was at the 30-minute mark of the show. By the end, Dante was back to being reasonable and kind and understanding of everyone and everything. OK, I get it. We all knew that sooner or later we'd get the wise Dante. The mistake was showing him berate Jason IN THE SAME EPISODE and imply he's a lousy father.

      I think Dante has a larger GH fanbase than both Ava and Nina character wise.  Both CW and MW have a built in fanbase outside GH which isn't really indictive of the characters, IMO.

      Just this fan's opinion but I have said these writers are the most plot opportunistic maybe ever! They will have any character say just about anything if it advances whatever plot point they have in their minds atm. I think if Dante's POV right now was defensible people would be running it up the flag pole. The fanbase thing you're describing to me it just means they're going to continue to like their fave no matter what.

      I think the difference between the head writer change at Days vs GH is that the day to day episode quality at GH was still lacking while the day to day episode quality has improved. And now that there appears to be some depth to the episode content... the limitations of some of the performers on Days is more apparent (i.e. Leo, Alex, Sophia, Cat). However, Rome wasn't built/rebuilt in a day so I'm waiting to see how things are in three to four months once some of the threads/stories from Ron's era are tied up/resolved.. and Ford/Cwikly's long term content kicks off

      That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode.

      Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol.   Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene.    Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger.   I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!!      Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!

      Looking forward to hearing your perspective. Tuesday was a little... ehhh though

      And Ron sort of did like a half-assed rewrite to bring them together. Apparently, Stephanie had never met Alex until 2022, even though she already knew Sonny, Joe and Vic

      Friday Thoughts:    June and Hayley are going to turn out to be related, or else why the casting on June's character if not for that.  Their voices and mannerisms are similar and Marquita had mentioned in an interview that we would be finding out more about Hayley's backstory.   Tomas/Eva/Kat is for sure going to be moving full steam ahead.. and I can't wait

      Dani/Bill = yawn    Bill/Smitty = Interest reeved up and we all know that means the secret involving Martin/Smitty/Anita is kicking into high gear for May sweeps. Vanessa/Nicole = A satisfying friendship scene.. and Nicole's statement about Vanessa's outside interests.. I did not see that coming Nicole/Andre = I noticed that Andre volunteered knowing about the affair, but managed to withhold the nugget of information where he had convinced Ted not to confess to Nicole. Dani/Ted = This perked my interest Nicole/Silk Press Sheila = A great way to end a Friday episode.  Sometimes grandma's soaps shouldn't be discarded, but followed. Martin/Smitty = Kat is right that Smitty is too good for Martin.. and Martin did act as though he missed his afternoon nap. Ashley/Derek = Unpopular opinion.. I actually kind of missed them.   I view their scenes as a great way to kickstart a drinking game... take a shot anytime you wonder to yourself what is the point to their characters and/or either one of them says something cringey.  You'll be guaranteed to be buzzing by the end of the episode Previews for next week: Looks like Nicole has found out about Dani/Andre's FWB set up? Kat vs Silk Press Sheila looks promising.

      GH isn't that character-driven a show in recent decades. I think reaction depends on whether the character has a passionate fanbase. A character like Ava always has people who will defend her and back her up, as does a character like Nina (when they used to write for Nina, anyway). Dante doesn't.
