I wish I could find a websoap I've taken to, but I remain openminded.

You're right though. Even when soaps were at their peak and apparently were largely paying for the primetime shows, the execs never really cared or tried to get the genre. They wanted even more money and in the 80s is really when they slowly started to interfere more and more--without really getting the appeal. Ratings dropped (partly due to this clueless interference I remain convinced but partly because all network program ratings dropped--even primetime for the most part has fallen percentage wise not much less than daytime), clueless execs tampered more to try to stop this and it became a vicious cycle of sorts.

Jamey must be thrilled that his precitions he teased fans with for ages came true! SUCCESS!

Ok, thanks. I would hope they at least acknowledge it. OLTL is their neighbor and they did do that huge show for the 40th anniversary of AMC and coinciding with the move. I know it was just free publicity for ABC, but still...

Don't forget Raven! She CALLED it too :rolleyes: LOL

Oh Eric.... you know I have lost touch with this show over the last year and a bit.... but I took comfort in the fact that it was still apart of the landscape which meant there was always a chance of it getting back SOME of its former glory. Come Sept. I will no longer have that :( I say I made peace with this long ago, but part of me is really starting to get depressed. What will we do? :(

La Lucci must be furious! All those interviews in the past 2 weeks where she claims that AMC isn't going anywhere and that she got her schedule for the next year. And how unclassy of ABC that people like Robin Strasser found out the news the way that she did. These people deserved better.

    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.  
    • Today was really boring. I get we needed to have Martin accepting Eva but man I needed some Leslie today. Anita being hung up on was intriguing though.
    • Yup, that's John Mahoney, a few months before the star-studded 1986 production of The House of Blue Leaves. Also, God bless TPTB for thinking that a circus storyline was gonna grab the hearts and attention of viewers.
    • I don't think we have. I suspect @Paul Raven could confirm it for sure.  ETA: off the top of my head, I counted 13 sets (counting the hotel room Doug/Vanessa made up in separate from the hotel room Ted is in unless it was refashioned).
    • Have we seen them? There’s a bit more variety than some of the other soaps but I feel like GH still has them beat. Right now everyone literally only eats at the country club or Orphy Genes. Jessica and Samantha look like twins.
    • Dante to Kristina: You turned out okay.

    • Am I misremembering or were they bragging about over 20 sets? Have we seen them all cause I feel like we haven’t and I’d like to see some more.
