Glad TS and JVA are coming back. The great thing about 2.0 is that they can continue to mine VERY RICH history and memorable, beloved characters while launching a new generation. I have no problem with adding depth to Ann's character/family. If she's going to be with Bobby, then we need to know more about her. Also, not EVERYONE can be related, so some fresh blood. Considering they were kind of going blind for Season 1, I expect Season 2 to be quite tight. Wouldn't it be something if 2.0 ends up having six or seven year run? It'd be pretty cool.

I do agree with you re: Ann. I also think Harris was a breakout character so it merits the Ryland's as the second full family on the show. The Ewing's and the Ryland's. I don't think there are enough Barnes to truly bring back that family. I think Rebecca with appearances from Cliff and Afton is enough. I'm just happy they finally announced casting of some Ewing's though, even more exciting that we get a Knots Landing crossover. BTW, Ultimate Dallas said Lucy will also be back for these episodes.

Am I the only one, while I really loved him and feel he is kinda needed, that's not THAT thrilled Harris is a regular? Not that I think he'll dominate and it'll be nice to see Ann be more developed, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I think if better integrated, the character has a GREAT shot at becoming a well rounded villain that the show needs.

And even though no one is reporting it (not that I've seen, besides here and Ultimate Dallas), I guess Charlene Tilton will appear along with Van Ark and Shackelford. So she's back too. With more substance, hopefully. That was my issue last season. I know all the vets were basically last minute but now that Cidre has embraced Dallas and seems to understand the fans desires (and season one really wasn't that bad), I want to see better balance amongst the cast. Yes, the younger ones should, I guess (ugh) have more airtime, of course. And while this did improve towards the end.

Anyone else agree? Things you want to see again? Not see again?

I really don't want to see Jesse Metcalfe being the lead this year though. Cidre must have really had a hard-on for him. Hopefully his painful acting has brought her back to earth. Josh Henderson should be running this show. He and Julie Gonzalo have the chops to pull it off. It's really kinda bad when your antagonists are more interesting and IMO, popular than your "heroes" (Christopher & Elena). Only time I liked Elena was with John Ross and the only time I liked Christopher was with Bobby. I guess at least with them together, we have the option of not watching either of them try to act. They've both been in this industry for how long now? You'd think they'd have gotten better not worse. I guess when you're hired for looks ...

      Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.

      I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.

      I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.

      Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.

      If J.R. wasn't busy with Ewing Oil, he'd be a heckuva soap recapper. He was SO gleeful at recapping Jenna-Bobby-Pam when the trio and Mark encountered each other at the Oil Baron's Ball. That being said, Lucy, presumably Sue Ellen and maybe Ray should all know this story, or at least part of it. Lucy was definitely at Southfork during Jenna and Bobby's relationship, and I believe Sue Ellen was about to marry J.R. around the time Jenna jilted Bobby. (Ray might not have given a damn.)

      ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive From a May 1980 Broadcasting issue: Meredith Broadcasting in association with Alan Sloan Inc has committed itself to produce series of five half hours in soap opera form, "designed for youngers 11-14 and their parents." Programs, yet untitled, "will deal with problems teen-agers face in their relationships with peers and parents," with script topics reviewed in advance by teachers, psychologists and others. First episode is to air on Meredith's five TV's in September and ground broadcaster also anticipates syndication. If successful, idea is to go to full-fledged series.

      Secrets of Midland Heights

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Looking at an old Broadcast issue with a fall schedule preview. Their description of the show: Lorimar Productions turns its cameras "below the surface of a small, traditional, thriving college town still large controlled by its founders, the Millingtons." Plot elements include "nurtured dreams, closely-held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friends and family." Lee Rich, Michael Filerman and David Jacobs are executive producers of the Roundelay production, in association with Lorimar.  They also mention the show in a small section about advertising's point of view.  Advertising agency reaction to the new fall line-ups announced by ABC and CBS last week varied. But upfront, some agency types were apprehensive that their advertisers might be turned off by some of the new "titillating" entries. "I'm concerned about the amount of permissiveness," said one executive, with CBS' Secrets of Midland Heights commonly mentioned as one possible offender.

      I just saw this. Thanks for sharing. The classic Y&R thread may enjoy your posts. It was in very poor taste for Andy Cohen to blindside MTS with that type of question, but I'm not surprised as he's an awful person.
