The demise of GL means the death of soaps is almost here. I also hear ATWT won't be picked up after this last renewal. At least the Nuke fans will become less annoying once the show is off the air.

I know this, but hopefully the demise can be prolonged a little.

The last I heard, it was a rumor. If not, the last airdate will be in September 2010. Hopefully they can go out with a bang.

I am one of those 'annoying' Nuke fans. I'm sure I'll still be just as annoying when the show goes off air. :)

Fan groups are anywhere, daytime or primetime. Some are worse than others, but I don't think as a whole they're bad. When shows should worry is when 'annoying' fans disappear, and they're left with people who just don't care anymore.

Right, I agree. It's just his opinion that we're annoying, anyway. I'll take it with a grain of salt, nod, and smile. No use in getting worked up over it. I like what I like, and Nuke is what keeps me watching ATWT.

I like Nuke, or I do in some of their stories, when they have more consistent characterization. I can't see a lot of other shows even attempting to have any type of relationship between two men, and I think JS and VH work well together. This Zac/Zoe story isn't good, but overall I think Noah and Luke have been more positive than negative for the show. For me the baby stories and the Paul/Meg stories have been the most consistent flaw in ATWT, along with the lack of commitment.

Damn you guys....wanting me to eat fast food all the time. You don't care about my health! All you want are the ratings, eh! :P:lol:

What happened to CBS on Friday? Were there pre-emptions?

So much for AMC losing that 200,000 viewers.

I am so happy that even in the midst of the great Zendell breaking up that AMC continues to rise. I love it.

As to the subject of fan bases etc. I have nothing else to say other than I commend anyone who can watch a show for just one couple or actor or whatever. I can't do it and more power to anyone that can. I am not going to watch any show or movie or anything just because of someone or some couple. If the writing and the rest of stuff isn't there forget it.

No one has ever been a bigger fan of Doug & Julie on Days than I was but even on the special episodes that they come back now I don't even tune in. An actor or actress might get me to try a show out but if the show overall doesn't intrigue me and offer more than that actor or performer or couple, then forget it.

So good to see all the shows up in total viewers. Nice to see the middle of the pack shows Days, GH, OLTL, and AMC also up from last year.

On the other side of that coin, this also sort of proves that Kendall, Ryan, Zach focus can bring in the ratings (and I know as much as there's a personal Z/K thing here, there's also an anti the "popular" crowd sentiment here), heh. Ironic, and a little disturbing because seriously that whole story is muddled garbage right now.

He's got a point, Toups.

Any holidays, spring breaks last week? Or did all the soaps just get lucky?

    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.
