I thought he was OK. I KINDA get why they think he won't work for this "new direction", and I admit, while he had NOTHING to do at the time, I liked Cosgrove in the role, so I'm not too upset. But yeah, no big surprise, and not something we're really in need of (I mean as much as she's slightly improved, why haven't they recast Randi yet? Carl, I think he was boring largely cuz they had no idea what to do with his character (he certainlyw as one of the more appealing of the newly added "hunks" at the time)

You're right. They had no idea what to do with him. I do wonder what might be different now. Will Marissa be his new, and equally unpleasant, Laura? I can't see him sparking with Annie, although you never know.

I just hope they haven't cast him to be the generic Cosgrove character. I hope they actually have a character arc planned out.

Oh yes I did! :lol: I thought physically and in some of his mannerisms, AM resembled PMV. But I'm not comparing Scott to the character of Ryan Harrison who was this strong hero with a generous heart and spirit.

PMV was AMAZING as Ryan, and Ryan was one of the best young leads in daytime back in the day. But I think PMV has evolved and would prob want to play somebody different now that he is older and more mature. He couldn't play the young, hot-headed cop anymore. The Ryan Harrison template, though? Defiitely needs to return to Daytime. I miss those heroes that genuinely try and do the right thing and truly love their one-and-only with all of their heart. :)

AW :(

He really was. Male characters just do not have that warmth anymore. It's ironic. They run around waving guns, smashing barware, holding their fists up to their respective beloveds, screwing them the night before in order to call them whores the morning after. But they don't come across as anywhere near as strong a masculine character as Ryan did.

To be fair to JFP, I heard he asked if he could be killed off instead of recast and she said ok. What I do blame JFP for, though, is pairing Vicky with Jake. Quite apart from whatever chemistry these two actors had with each other, after what he did to Marley, I could never understand why Vicky would want to be with him. Even if he was a reformed character.

Anyone else think DC's Scott might be too "old" to really be interacting with Marissa and JR? Annie's young but she has often come off as more mature for her age but I'm not sure if her and DC's Scott will have chemistry. DC could end up not meshing well with them.

I think it was Savitz who actually paired them up, although JFP was the one who had Jake falling for Vicky while she was slowly being paired with Shane.

JFP doesn't care about what the actors ask for...he might have requested killing but I think it fit her plans anyway. She loves to have soap men who are criminals or who treat women like garbage. And to be fair to her, that is what daytime has become. Guza, Frons, Rauch, JFP, Sheffer. It's what they love to do.

Why would it fail? What's going to fail is JR & Annie, they're not the happily ever after type and they're gonna have obstacles.

Putting him in the Greenlee & Kendall stuff makes no sense at all. I think we're getting a full fledged JR/Annie/Scott triangle now and Scott becomes a true rival in regards to JR.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Please register in order to view this content

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.

      Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

      I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
