Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 The only one that shocks me of these exits is MCE. She did quit, right? I guess I had never heard any rumblings she would quit...unless it was the blind item which turned out to be about her after all? She basically carried a lot of AMC for parts of 2009 and 2010 so I wonder how they, and especially JR, will go on. I'm not one of the fans who says "Bring back Dixie," but that's probably the only story I can think of I might want to see with JR, especially if it means they don't go back to the Babe well.

Members jfung79 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Last week should have been a good week for AMC. Really addictive with the Damon/Liza stuff, the aftermath, and Annie accidentally smacking the door on Marissa (which is as far as I've gotten right now, still on Thursday - hilarious accident, I had tears coming out of my eyes from laughing for minutes!!). Lots of great cliffhangers. So I'm predicting relatively good numbers for AMC - as in, it shouldn't be last place in overall HHs. If the numbers aren't there, I will be depressed. Stunned by this news of MCE quitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 OLTL def wrote Brittany into a hole--but I really really don't buy that MCE didn't leave of her own free will. Her contract would just be coming up, she's never really tried her luck at primetime work, etc, especially after a well viewed soap run, she's a big talent--this is what most young promising soap actors do, isn't it??

Members brwnsugar33 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Marceline do you have a heads up on how bad the numbers for soaps are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 No. That's purely a guess on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brwnsugar33 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for answering cause at this point TPTB wonder why the genre is dying is because of serious bone head moves of firing popular characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 IA, I've always held them "equally" responsible... I'm not saying that the attrition in the interest of soap operas isn't a sign of the times but I'm seeing them shoot themselves in the foot "as well." I guess for budgetary reasons but I can't blame it all on that either when I'm seeing a character (e.g. Rebecca Herbst) Elizabeth Webber has gotten some of the worse writing in daytime its not "all budgetary" politiks plays in it too...Becky problem is she's too popular for her own good and this bad writing failed to keep her in the place they put her in... There are only 3 originals left (on the woman side Monica-recurring who hasn't recurred), Robin, Alexis and Tracey. Welcome to the new GH folks.

Members dtchicago Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 I think they would have mentioned beating OLTL if they had. Fingers crossed OLTL goes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Now for MY cheerleading: This is great for all those in charge of that show. Their Tucson discussion/tribute was great, unlike what was happening on THAT OTHER SHOW(more finger pointing, more politics, more Hasselbeck flapping her damn gums). @marceline: If Lskreet happens to send you dailies of The Talk's Household Rating, I would be more than happy with you both if you posted them.

Members NYC123 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Gotta give props to Y&R though. Their demos have fallen but not off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Y&R is constantly whoring itself out, doing anything and everything to try to get ratings. That's helped them, I'm sure, but I often wonder why they aren't doing a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
