So sad our daytime family is getting smaller. It sucks. Just plain sucks.

NLG:

1st toast; Soap fans are the f'in best fans on this planet! Clink

2nd toast; Cheers to AMC and OLTL for entertaining us 4 43 yrs, 5 days a week of ass kicking soap. We appreciate you and salute you

An American art form is disappearing. What a sad day for casts, crews, staff & most of all the fans of #AMC & #OLTL. No art replaces them.

It isn't enough just to buy them from ABCD. You have to have someone interested in airing them, too, and with those ratings...?

I'll go ahead and say it: anyone who starts OR participates in a "Yeah, well, OLTL lasted longer, so there!" discussion of any kind needs to follow David Vickers' advice and have a seat. They're both "dead." What the hell diff does it make which one lasted longer? Will it bring either soap back?

Amazing how people came out the woodwork when it was gone. Amazing in this era how I have to hear some ass-hole like Frons speak about knowing he's the most hated man in this genre and no doubt w/ a smile. Univision averaged 9.0 ratings w/ spanish soaps. WWE on a weekly basis raised it's demo and ratings taking s/ls from soaps and putting it into it's industry, yet Frons saids it's a dying genre b/c fans don't care what is shown anymore. LISTEN YOU DUMBASS, IT'S B/C YOU KILLED IT! Your own doing.

Who the f here wanted Rylee? not us.

Who the f called for a character like Marissa, or Caleb or Krystal..not us!

Who the f called for continuous endless Ryan Lavery is god of Pine Valley storylines, NOT US!

Did anyone like it when Nash was killed on OLTL?

Did anyone like the endless pointless Star/Cole?

I could go deeper but for freaking what.

You know, and there was 1/2 the problem right there, giving the genre fans sh!t they didn't want to see, latin soaps do good, b/c they give the fans what they want, intrigue, mystery, romance, sexual heat, pairings people can get behind..something Brian Frons and Julie Craputhers and whoever was writing for OLTL didn't get.

Execs: "Well, if we just give 'em what they want, they'll stop watching."

Me: "As opposed to now, when they're watching like never before." [/sarcasm]

Actually, I take this back. It isn't that they're not giving viewers what they want; it's that what they ARE giving them isn't very attractive or entertaining. I think there's a difference.

    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • 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?
