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.

    • Awesome Yep, you can hook up a VHS player to a smart TV. Alternatively, Amazon sells some VHS to Digital converters that you can use to directly connect the VCR's AV cables  to a USB on a laptop or PC. They cost about 20 bucks. Any questions or need help, DM me!
    • -- "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by...." I love that throwback to soaps from yesteryear. I know we don't want BTG to be our grandmother's soap, but sometimes Grandma's soaps had it right. -- I was FULLY prepared to dislike Keith D. Robinson as Ted, and I even went through things in my mind that I could say because I was fine with Maurice Johnson and felt bad for him.     However, Robinson was awfully good, especially for Day 1. He's a different Ted, but he's a good actor -- natural and real. People saying Gates "should have gone older" are head-scratchers since Robinson is older than Johnson. -- I expected Bill to be tougher than he was with Dana, THE worst mother of the year on soaps. -- Kat went toe-to-toe in those scenes with Dana. We're all in love with Ambyr/Eva, but Colby/Kat is also killing it. -- Derek and Ashley? I'm turning on Ashley, who can't even pretend to like Derek, let alone love him. Her annoyance with him is overboard, and I'm also annoyed with the show portraying Derek as a Neanderthal -- to the point of putting "Neanderthal" in his dialogue. Every single thing he does annoys Ashley, which makes me wonder what she ever saw in him. I want him away from her. -- Seeing Derek and Ashley in that bed was hilarious. It looks like a single, not something for two grown adults. -- Ashley and Andre are still a no for me -- a big no. I see no reason why he'd be infatuated with her. None. At least Andre got a smile from her, which she didn't have for Derek, even when he wanted them to get a bigger place. Derek, please dodge the bullet.
    •   I LOVED Hennig’s Stephanie. AK is Stephanie in name only. Stephanie was never boring to me.
    • July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.
    • I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.
    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
