Members John Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Right. Didnt the show itself die not too long after she left? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Probably about six months later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Questions... Why didn't you let Luke live happily ever after with Reid, or even Noah? Why didn't you allow Martha Byrne to come back as Lily? This is going to be a love fest to the core. One that'll make his interview with JFP look like he wanted to kill her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 No one is going to confront Goutman about any of those things as he would not agree to the interview otherwise. Much as I find Locher to be cloying, it's not as if he is an outlier. The soap press of the last 20 years has been a shambles, and helped kill the genre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Very much agreed. The 'soap press' is mostly a joke and did help kill the genre. They also stopped holding soaps accountable when they veered off track for fear of losing their precious scoops and contacts. I see that now with the 'media' on social media. They refuse to criticize or hold the show/executives accountable and approach it with a 'nothing to see here' attitude. It's more or less the same thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Plus, Locher is not exactly a scintillating interviewer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 I much liked Emma when she wasn't so perky and cheerful. Early Emma was more sedate and cold, especially with Iva. Marland seeme to turn her into a caricature over time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 The best statement people can make to voice their displeasure is either to pepper the chat with pointed questions on his disrespect of the show's history and the veteran talent or to just not tune in at all and let the view count shrivel. It's a waste of my time personally, so I don't plan to watch. Anywho, Thanks for the clips @DRW50. This is a period during which I became an inconsistent viewer because school and extra-curriculars got so very busy. Only in the last several years have I been seeing episodes that filled in the storyline blanks with more specifics. Seeing entire episodes of B&B posted online has made me slightly envious, wishing that I could see entire episodes of ATWT in clear audio and visual quality. Even with the mediocre acting that plagued so much of B&B, being able to see a whole entire episode in clear audio and visual quality makes it that more enjoyable. If only we could get more of that for ATWT. Not only a single episode (of which ATWT has more than quite a few), but the fact that I know the next episode will be uploaded, no missing episodes or storylines abruptly ended due to missing scenes and episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 I give him credit for booking good guests, and try to tune him out while I listen to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 They did seem to go after the TOLN/PP soaps in a very aggressively negative manner, as if the turf they were protecting were their very own, all because their preferred HWs didnt get to write the online versions of AMC and OLTL. Well, since I want CG to get as few clicks as possible, I won't even be doing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Yeah, I'm planning on sitting that one out, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Yep and I haven't forgotten that they did that. And same. I have no interest in Goutman. lol nope. I'd die if he asked "so why was Eileen Fulton sidelined for the last decade of ATWT after speaking out?" He would never. And part of me gets why. You don't do that if you deliberately want to remain 'neutral'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Exactly. He may know more about the P&G shows but he can't really spill tea or ask people from those shows to. Interviewing really isn't his strength. At least in the beginning, in lockdown, the shows had more of the reunion feel. But now that he has continued the show and included folks outside the daytime realm, he should be working on how to be a better interviewer and doing more research on his non-P&G guests. And who knows, maybe he is working on it. I only hope so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 It makes me wonder whether we'll ever get to see a streamed discussion with Eileen Fulton now. Part of me thinks she may not want to do one after he's been an invites guest. The other part of me hopes that Eileen gets fired up and wants to be a guest on one, if only to "set the record straight". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
