SOAPnet's janky ass can't even be bothered to make this the "first panel" news item. It's not in ANY of the panels, it's kicked off down towards the bottom. Frons, somewhere in Africa there's an ostrich head that I'd love to see stuck up your ass, pecking away at all of your slimy insides.

Well, I don't know that I believe that they'll be the focus, not with LB there to balance a bit. So yes, I do think there's reason to hope there. And I do. :) I just don't and can't believe they'll end up anywhere else. It just seems like the one thing we can count out. I just want balance, true to character interactions, that are based in history. I'm willing to except the show ending, but I don't want to be left sitting here going, "Where was David? What happened to him?" etc.

I'm just hearing this. Unbelievable. I'm going to miss OLTL like crazy. To this day I still miss The Edge of Night.

Well, I have to January to enjoy the show. After this I won't be watching anymore daytime TV. I'm going to miss the genre.

Mallory rocks :wub:

It's truly the end of an era and I am just...so sad.

And it's doubly sad and also [!@#$%^&*] enraging that Brian Frons still has a job.

First of all, the shows replacing AMC and OLTL? The Revolution and The Chew. SAY THAT OUT LOUD: THE CHEW. Did you just turn bright red and look over your shoulder to make sure nobody heard you say that? Because OMFG, that is just epically lame. The Chew! I ask you.

You've told me this before... and I know why you feel that way, Eric. And this doesn't relate to the discussion between you, Kylie, and myself so much... but more about your "Pollyanna" comment: I remember a time when I posted a positive opinion on the board, and a couple of people responded as if I (and anyone who happened to agree with me) was delusional... I even remember someone inferring that I worked for ABC, and was promoting for them... and I'm pretty sure this just because I was looking forward to Lorraine Broderick's work airing!

Though I backed away from the board because I wanted to avoid that kind of conflict, I'm not mad about it... because I think the people who said things like that were really just incredibly pissed off by what happened under Pratt (or B&E, McTavish, you name it) and weren't ready to have any optimism just yet. And to them, I probably did sound absurd to suggest that LB could do something positive in setting the right course for AMC...

But I happen to think you sound level-headed about it, Eric... and you're really honest with YOURSELF about your feelings for the two shows, and you let that show openly here. I've always appreciated that about you.

    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success. 
    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?
