He lost me at the part about TSJ being the best leading man in all of daytime.

And my God, does he sit around obsessing about OLTL all day long? With nothing else to do? I mean, really, where did this "OMG Robin Thicke and Gloria Loring should appear on OLTL!" sh!t come from? I know he feels in adequate if he doesn't pimp OLTL just enough...

He lost you? I'm wondering what the heck he's drinking.

He does obsess on OLTL and I wish he would quit because he's the one that starts those cancellation rumors that everyone seem to soak up like a sponge. Not saying it can't happen, but I'd rather hear facts from the from the front of the horse than wild guesses and rhetoric from it's rear end.

I would love for Roger Howarth to return to OLTL, but they'd have to come up with something really good for it to pay off.

What they should do if Roger ever did come back is make it so that "Todd" Trevor's version is really Walker, who was brainwashed into believing he was Todd by Mitch. I'm sure RC can come up with some reason for it.

I can't see people accepting Roger as anything but Todd if he returned

Thank our lucky stars that Nelson "if I was head-writing" Branco doesn't write for any soap...

Howarth as Ross Rayburn (disguised as Todd's original face)? As an opportunity for Marty to hook-up with Howarth's character? He thinks that's genius? Some sick taste there, to say the least... Then to say that OLTL "can't" make Howarth be the real Todd - because TSJ's Todd "recalled" the rape? Oh, of course not - because soaps never ask anyone to suspend disbelief. B)

Branco also makes comments that seem incoherent: How could Ron Carlivati's former legal career be inspired by Tea Delgado? He pursued that career LONG before the Tea character was ever introduced...

I'm not a fan of hers, but I can't believe he has the nerve to throw a stone at Jean Passanante with the ideas he just spouted out.

To those who made statemtents about Branco like "drunk" and "on crack," I think I agree with you... literally. His articles make him come off, more and more each week, like someone who isn't thinking / writing with a full deck.

    • Yeah I saw it and it's still idiotic. I like the Pope, but it's not interrupt shows newsworthy
    • As someone who was watching OLTL at the time, Dano did excellent work, but the writing was weird. Dano even got Emmy nominated for what she did. However, it did feel that the writers did not know what to do with her, but to be fair, it did feel like a lot of that was that the character was a network mandate and the writers were making it up as they were going on. I didn't watch Dano's trek around all the soaps. That kind of thing would have worked better with an ABC performer not someone who had been off OLTL for decades. I can't imagine AW without Felicia Gallant. I really don't want to because she provided so much joy for me when there was so much disappointment on that show. The only time I thought her character didn't work was the John/Felicia storyline but it got Anna Holbrook an Emmy so I can't complain all that much. It's just another example of drama at the expense of character.
    • Bringing this over from the soccer/soaps ratings thread yesterday:  Errol said: "CBS put out a notice that it could preempt at a moment's notice as the Pope selection continues, dependent on how long it takes, of course." New pope just chosen, name to be announced soon. Yeah CBS-NewYork channel 2 is airing Pope coverage instead of Y&R right now.
    • @brisbydog - I like that you have a signature font, très chic Abe and Paulina's new apartment was the first thing I noticed.  I don't understand why people over a certain age in Salem automatically move into a condo? When it seems just as simple to make the set seem like a detached home.  But, I will give points to attention to detail of choosing colors that compliment the Black actors in the scene. Which then led to the second thing I noticed.  Why would EJ want Kayla's office, when his is 3xs the size?  Also, even if he buys the hospital, won't Kayla get to keep her office? Lastly, can we at least give Cat the agency to decide on her own with whom she wishes to date?  Do men actually need to negotiate on her behalf?  She's stunning.  My advice would be if Chad is friend-zoning her after a year together, move on to his richer brother.
    • OH!!! I love it. I can't believe I missed that. In one of the 2 fan events held the 2 years after the sorry end of our lovely show, both  Anna Stuart & Stephen Schnetzer attended & I got to talk to each of them. Obviously I was in heaven. Although at least I didn't do my shy star struck thing.
    • We probably won't get any of our CBS soaps today cause of the Pope stuff, cause you know they have to air it on regular network despite having 24/7 news channels

    • I still don't know when/how did Iris find out about Evan's connection to Janice?
    • lol Cass and Donna went on a bowling date!
    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to some of the nicest members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show.
