It sounds like they're going to limit content to US audiences. If an international partner wants to pay for streaming rights, then they'll drop the IP filters for that country. It still sounds fine...it means they get the content up there, and available. It is essentially building an e-library of shows that they'll be able to repurpose forever.

CBS holds the streaming rights for Y&R in the US, and all the non CBS streams (including Youtube) still carry the CBS logo and ads.

It sounds like B&B won't do it like that...will be interesting to see.

This sounds virtually identical to the Agnes Nixon/AMC international streaming thing I linked a week or two ago. Soaps are going on the net. It seems the WGA writers were right to fight for a share of streaming rights after all.

They saw that jend2004 or whoever the hell was uploading illegal current B&B content to the web was getting thousands of hits with streaming the show, so they wanted to get in on the fun. Who can blame them? It's their stuff.

Just don't take down the classic content, dudes!

so AMC & OLTL are the only soaps not legally online? What a shame.

I have to say i really do not watch any soaps on tv anymore. I watch Y&R on youtube. Days on iTunes. and those are the only two current soaps im watching now (full time), i also watch Another World on Hulu.

I really do think this is the future, if there is one.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
