Wow at the stuff about GH possibly ending next fall. Never thought DAYS would outlive ATWT and all 3 ABC soaps.

So glad Hoover is pulling out all their ads from ABC, hopefully others follow suit, stick it to ABC and save our shows even though it is a bit of a stretch and most likely lead to nowhere at least its something.

JPL: "Bissell is so much cooler. Am I right, Mr. Frons?"

(JPL and Frons fist-bump each other. Farah Fath gives the camera "the finger.")

There never seems to be any buzz for these shows though. They are full of mostly unknowns to the average viewer and supposedly The Revolution is so chaotic they had to put it off by several months.

If the advertisers get the vibe that these shows are just to fill up time and will never be any type of even a modest success, then they are going to draw a line.

Call me a right cynical bitch but someone at Hoover PR is a marketing genius. Hoover knew the first sponsor to speak out would get the most gravy from soap fans and jumped to the top of that line. Now they get to market themselves as the company who CARES versus big bad wolf ABC.

Of course Hoover doesn't want anyone to know ABC daytime and primetime ratings sucked so bad they aren't really hurting by putting their ad dollars elsewhere.

From Kassie DePaiva's Facebook page, not her personal one, her fanpage, but she posts on it:

I support my fans and their love for their favorite daytime dramas. These soap operas are and have been a part of their lives for decades. And I salute these fans for fighting for them til the bitter end. I'm proud to be a part of this wonderful American form of entertainment. My wish is they will live on!!!! I love One LIFE to LIVE!!!!

I didn't boycott Dancing with the Stars. Watching it right now and enjoying every minute of it. I do not plan on

boycotting ABC and will watch what I want to on the network. In fact, there are plenty of people who are not soap

people who will still watch this show. The ratings will not be affected.

    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
