No doubt TPTB wanted to use the huge backlog of episodes they already had in the can, even if everyone knows the show has been garbage for many years. Soap fans' expectations have been whittled down to almost nothing, and many folks seem to accept any content, no matter how putrid, because "it's better than nothing." But...is it? When people say to me that we mustn't rock the boat by criticizing today's soaps; that we must accept whatever crap they give us and still remain "loyal," or else the genre will die out completely...well, the genre is dying anyway. Maybe because today's audience is too willing to passively accept the sh*t, even though it's driving everyone away?

I remember Corday supposedly being involved with the huge changes for the worse at Soap Opera Weekly because they had some mild criticism of the soaps. I know soap magazines, like all other magazines, couldn't have lasted, but still, if a genuine place of constructive criticism had lasted longer, the soaps might not have careened so far off a cliff in quality and arrogance to any real change over the last two decades. 

Of course so many these days are so busy trying to have "shade," get likes, and have their pals laugh as they go on about an actor being too fat for them to get hard for, the constructive concerns are drowned out, but that's partly because the middleman between unfiltered fan views and a brain dead show was stomped out. 

Had to share. Couldn't resist 😂😂

Mimi's perspective at Weekly & Michael Kape & Don West & Joanna ... something at their little one, what was it, Soap Opera Now? The only real critiques, the only actual analysis about ratings, them wuz the days. I remember that Corday was on a quest. If he'd ever marshaled that much energy focused on the quality legacy he inherited, DOOL today would be a different show.

Lol yeah

The chemistry between Will and James Scott’s EJ had a lot of fans suspecting that something was going to happen between them

It should have happened. EJ was twisted enough to use Will to get back at Sami and Will was head strong enough to go against his mother. It would have been fire works. It didn't have to be a romance (maybe in Will's head) no need to make people love or ship this couple. It should have been a dark story. They were going there with Kristen at the time, dark I mean.

It would never have happened on network.

It definitely would been groundbreaking and something that had never been done before. But I think the change in writers had something to do with it.

And I’m sure there was interference from the higher ups at NBC

Oh yes the unforgettable Kristen The Rapist story! I admit I would've liked a glimpse at that, maybe they could do it now on Peacock, They Have A Gay Icon EJ now
