Looove seeing Joy. I;d be fine if they let her be the Barbara and have her just appear every so often, once a week, twice a week, fill-in. I don't care. I do love they're using her and she's open to it. I wonder if anything could be going on there?

EW just put out this little nugget:

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/21/has-view-found-replacement-rosie-odonnell?

I'd be fine with those two. The panel needs younger voices and both of them fit in well. I can't see Raven being permanent but stranger things have happened. They really need to lock Michelle Collins down. She seems to truly appreciate being there and she reminds me of Joy.

Cristela would be my choice too but I like Collins as well.

And Whoopi dismissed that Vanity Fair article on air. Pretty much another "don't believe everything you read" even though after reading I do think there's a ton of truths in there. It's a good read that chronicles the ups and downs.

I personally love raven on the show. She's certainly good for buzz and I love that she stands by her opinions. Even if some of them are a bit wacky I love that she firmly believes what she believes and she's not swayed or influenced for the sake of "popularity". She's been great for the show as, aside from how bad the show is and how everyone hates each other, she is the only thing anyone is really talking about in regards to the show.

Even though I haven't watched much of The View in I don't know how long, I did get a chance to watch an episode this week and I sort of see Raven as a cross between Sherri Shephard and Elizabeth Hasselback, in a way that she can often read as being clueless but she does make for an interesting panelist and I don't see her as intentionally offensive in the way I'd see, say, a Stacey Dash. And it could be interesting to see whether Symoné becomes at all more nuanced (i.e. sophisticated) in her views.

I think the show could really benefit from having Joy Behar (re) join the panel, even if it's only for 1-2 days per week, the way Barbara did in the last few years before her retirement. Behar could inject some much needed life into episodes and she's good at conducting interviews, which except for Whoopie (who's not even the best at it), the rest of the current panel seems to lack that skill. Joy can press buttons and be just on the edge of provocative without being totally obnoxious, she's pretty well read and up to snuff on current events and she can diffuse just about any situation with humor, which The View can always use since it often seems to have quite a bit of tension on the set.

Raven has definitely brought the View some buzz lately. I like her on the show. I just have a hard time seeing her commit to doing it but she's been guest hosting for so long now I guess she likes doing it and a gig is a gig.

I don't think the co-hosts hate each other. Nicolle and Whoopi actually seem like pretty close friends and Rosie Perez and Nicolle seem to like each other more than I thought they once did.

I agree with dramatist about Joy and Raven, completely. I'd be more than happy if they brought Joy back and let her do what Barbara did. I think that way they can have five co-hosts but have others co-host when Joy isn't there, like Collins and Cristela. Or they can dump Perez and sign on Cristela.

The fact is, they NEED five solid co-hosts. Period. No more of this guest co-host crap. No more of them having just four hosts. Basically it's time for them to piss or get off the pot in regards to nailing down a group of co-hosts. I think the show has seen a bit of stability with Collins and Raven co-hosting and even Whoopi has made comments about needing a full group of hosts. It's not exactly a good thing when one of Nicolle, Whoopi or Rosie aren't there and you have THREE guests co-hosts.

I'd like to see Stacy London as well. I enjoyed her as well.

They have some good options. It's time to do something.

I love Raven she brings a much needed young demo to the show which skewed so old at the beginning of the season. I think Nicole and Rosie have improved since Rosie O left they seem way more relaxed. Everything has gotten better since Rosie O left the show

So yesterday they were testing Cristela and Stacy London again. It's interesting that they clearly, IMO, are testing out different groupings. I like both groupings (Collins/Symone vs. Cristela/London) and I still want Joy back. I'm torn. I think they should go younger with Collins/Symone (Raven gets them buzz) but Cristela and London fit in better with the co-hosts (and I think they'd normally be my pick but the show needs to do something different). So to me it's just a matter of them figuring out what they want to go with.

I think Perez is for sure It next year so I expect three new co-hosts. Raven seems like a sure thing and Cristela could be Rosie's replacement. Overall I still find The View to be unwatchable lately. It's on its last legs creatively. Whoops needs to go badly. Had she not been on this season I guarantee yiu ratings would've been up and the show would be doing much better creatively.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
