The show is so much better without Rosie O. She is just a draining self absorbed presence and so hard to watch. I think the panel for next season should be Whoopi, Nicole, Stacy London, and Naya Rivera. I'd fire Rosie P but because of the backlash they got when they tried this season I'd just let her be for now.

Well, I'm all for a sitcom shooting in New York even if I have my.doubts about the funny factor. I'd love to be wrong. I didn't see much of Whoopi! but from what I did see, it's not really her fault that it failed. It seemed to be a reworking of a pilot she and Susan Fales-Hill tried to develop for Jenifer Lewis (network execs couldn't imagine a black woman as a, gulp, "diva"). So the concept seemed to be split into two, as the TV movie Jackie's Back for Jenifer (perfect casting) and the sitcom for Whoopi (not so perfect casting).

Are y'all talking about the show where she had the hotel and the "proper" brother? I liked that too, that and The Tracy Morgan Show were done dirty.

I love her too but this is not the venue for her. She seems nervous whenever she speaks. She's been better since she came back from play rehearsal but I'd still cut her. I think Michelle Williams would be good instead.

Indeed! And frankly, it's not too late for it to become a HILARIOUS single camera mockumentary series. In Whoopi!, Whoopi played a fading soul singer like Jackie, and don't get me wrong, Whoopi was great in Sister Act (a role written for Bette Midler), but Jenifer sells OTT neurotic diva in a more sitcom appropriate way than earthy Whoopi.

Sorry If anyone is draining is Whoppi with her its my way or the highway. You disagree with her, she yells at the panel and even the studio audience. Rosie O was refreshing and more subdude this time

I tell Whoopi to get out. Keep Nicole, bring back Rosie O and get two more like maybe Valerie Bertinelli and Maybe Naya Rivera if she would do it. im on the fence about Rosie P

Whoopi and Rosie O' are okay alone, but together they brought out the worst in each other's personalities, especially on air. Nicolle I think has been a brilliant addition and Rosie Perez is likable but a bit raw; I do think with some more "TV training" if that's even a thing, she's salvageable. But if I were running The View, I'd park a Brinks truck in front of Joy Behar's place right now.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
