Milk was more of an arthouse movie, wasn't it? I can't really see a big shift in viewers because he played Sean Penn's boyfriend. And how many people who were moved by a film which showed the horror of gun violence will want to watch a show that revels in gun violence?

I do think this is cool and I have a lot of respect for Franco for doing this (and not making it into some big step down, or attempt at slumming), but I'll be surprised if the ratings go up.

If GH get him, VM puts Cassadine/Spencer back on in true form fromnt burner now that JJ is back. I will admit I am intrigued, especially now since SB is gone (sorry I just think she is too right for Carly to be some mob princess I didn't buy it). I might completly switch gears from Y&R (even catching up on summaries as I have been) but then Lord with these writers and people in charge and how they tend to make a mess of Golden opportunites.

P.S. Now if we could only get rid of IR

I know that he doesn't need the money, but it wouldn't surprise me if ABC did a little butt kissing and sweetened the deal, I mean this kind of casting coup is pretty unheard of. Plus agents and managers are always going to be looking out for their clients, they recognize his worth as an A-lister and even if this is a little pet project for him, they're not going to sit by idly and let him be financially "insulted" if you will. Burton and Franco are both managed by James/Levy , but I wonder how Franco's agents over at Endeavor felt about this.

All in all, it would be nice if this even in a little way helped public perception of soap opera and brought in higher ratings. Say OLTL managed to get one of the Twilight kids for a few months, I mean, can you imagine what that would do for that show?

Unless JJ can somehow make Tyler Christopher a passable actor again and bring Stefan back from the dead, and erase 5+ years of nasty writing for Luke and Lulu, I don't think he can do much to help the Spencers and the Cassadines.

I don't think GH can truly improve until Guza and Maurice Benard are gone.

Now I'm imagining Twilight in Llanview. Cole would almost seem cheery compared to Robert Pattinson.

Saw a funny joke/suggestion on Soapzone.....Kanye West = Justus Ward.

Another Kanye joke: "Yo JJ, I'm really happy for your fans to see you back on GH, I’ll let you finish, but JF coming on GH is the best news of all time!"

Too hilarious. :lol:

    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.
