Carmen LoPorto is out as Jack Manning via Soaps.com

"Thank you for all your support over the past 3-1/2 years as Jack. I got a call this week that they SORAS'ed Jack and I am no longer a member of the Manning Family. It's been fun and an experience that I will never forget. Thank You All Again. Here's to bigger and better things to come in 2011."

I'm super bummed! I LOVED Carmen.

Never a big favorite of mine, but many seemed to get a kick out of his version of Jack, and he did have his moments. I wonder what this is about. Are they finally going to make him older than Dani?

I have no idea what the adult son of Todd would do in a story. Please tell me they aren't going to have Todd and Jack fight over a woman.

Maybe they should have a Jack/Marty storyline.

Shucks. Are they reliable, or just Hoovering up scoops and rumors from elsewhere a la Soaptown USA? Because I can't find this anywhere else.

I'd like more confirmation but if it's for real I do think it's a shame. They should leave the character's age as is - the actor is like 13 and they have Destiny, Matthew, Dani and Darren in HS, so it's not like they'll be able to age the character up all that much anyway.

I thought Carmen was a good little actor. I liked his scenes with TSJ. I guess they are going to sorase Jack so he can look like a Ford brother and Ron & Frank can get another boner.

Shane Morasco is a useless character with lame ass parents(actors).

The Jack/Todd relationship was turned into nothing more than sick Todd propping anyway, as all of Todd's relationships with his children turn out to be, but I do wonder what will happen now that he's aged.

They had a story in 2008 about rape making you a good guy. Then they had a story in 2009 to remind us there are good rapists and bad rapists. In 2010 Ford became a hero after raping Jessica. I guess they need to age Jack to keep the tradition going.

RC and FV spoke recently about planning the next generation with Jack and Shane in school together. Shane also has a story coming. I really don't see them aging Jack up much beyond Austin Williams, unless he too is being recast.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      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

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      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.
