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.

    • 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?

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
