ABC New Daytime Promos


Recommended Posts

These make me want to watch soaps less.

I don't think any have actually watched a soap in their life they were just paid nicely to say they do. Vincent Pastore is the most obvious since he just signed on to guest star in October.

Are these people actually fans? Does Mel B even live most of her time in a place that airs AMC?

I actually think the promos are... OK. Not bad anyway--I think they do get your attention, but... I think more are set to run because I heard d-0list star Elizabeth Berkley did one for OLTL...

The thing is it'll be useless like all ABC soap promos cuz they will never air them in Primetime. Preaching to the converted is pointless.

I guess they're designed to appeal to teenagers. It went straight over my head. OLTL is ranked #1 in that demo. A whopping 70,000 teens are tuning in to OLTL. Woo hoo. Let's ignore the 800,000 other viewers and promote to the teens! And the ABC Spin/PR department puts out a statement saying OLTL increased it's viewership in the 12-17 demo by 55 percent! Brilliant promotion strategy. Just Brilliant!

Oh, so the Passions viewers found a home in OLTL? ABC must be proud.... <_<

I am assuming that, if The Mole is low-rated, that it doesn't cost them much to run daytime promos then. (i.e., they either don't have a lot of advertisers lining up, or it is not costing them much to forego an extra ad). Of course, daytime promos SHOULD run during the highest rated shows with the most desirable demographic. But that would require (a) integrated network management, across dayparts and divisions, and (B) a desire to INVEST in soaps.

Translation: it will never happen. Much as I'd love to see Y&R promos during, say, CSI (which I don't watch)...it'll never happen.

I know who Big P.ussy is. :lol:

Mob done right. The Sopranos.

Elizabeth Berkley is more Z-list. :lol:

I thought the promos were good. I like the song and I used to love the Spice Girls and I love the Sopranos. I thought ABCD finally did something RIGHT.

Also, Mel B. has lived in LA for years. Remember, Eddie Murphy is her baby daddy. And he's LA based.

I noticed that there are two different promos of Mel B for AMC. One for SOAPNet and one for ABC apparently. Why two different ones, I wonder? I liked them, but agree that they could have went with prime time ABC actors or more A list celebrities.

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK. 
    • For some reason I thought Sly had already passed. A true legend.
