Members Ann Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yes, I do remember. I watched the two seasons of Night Shift, an amazing show that I wanted to continue. But, of course, it only ran two seasons. Quality television it was. Of course Frons killed that, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks for posting these! I just may have buy a soap magazine for the first time in probably close to 10 years. Hopefully they'll do lots of retrospects for both shows in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AlexElizabeth Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks for posting those covers. I guess I'll be buying the new SOD. RH is on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 I doubt fans had any impact, but if they were going to be so glib it might have been interesting to compare the primetime ratings CBS has now to when they had GL/ATWT, NBC had when they had more than one soap, etc. ABC is sinking into such a ratings pit they might actually starting blaming soap fans at some point.

Members Adam Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 How the mighty have fallen.... ABC's huge renaissance in 2004/2005 certainly faded quite quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 It was cause of the Reese stuff where Pratt blamed Eden for all the bad stuff. It was idiotic cause he was pimping Zach & Reese like there was no tomorrow then when Bianca & Reese were leaving town, suddenly he was a Bianca & Reese shipper.

Members Ann_SS Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Frons could not cancel AMC and OLTL without approval from his bosses so if he is on his way out, it isn't because of that. Robin Strasser should say whatever she wants to say. It isn't like she is going to get another job on the soaps after how she has spouted off.

Members DRW50 Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 If he goes I'd say it's because he's no longer needed and also because this has been a PR disaster for ABC that has gone on day after day - it must have been bad for Baba to wring her hands for him on The View. I think Robin would make a good impact on a show like B&B. If she had some time on there I might even manage to watch an episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Is there room on the Y&R canvass for Strasser? MAB can always find room for a displaced ABC actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 She'd dive into the Hudson River and save her tweeting ass to get her a poppin' in GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Someone should start a "Robin to Y&R" campaign. I love Jess Walton as Jill, but I think I could see Robin as Jill. She would definitely restore the Brenda Dickson camp factor. Would be a hoot to see Jeanne and Robin going at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 Jill has been written into such a shell of her former self it wouldn't really matter if Jess Walton, Robin Strasser or some random of the street was brought in to read the drivel Maria Bell and her minions pass off as scripted soap opera... so yeah, what the hell.

Members lovely_m Posted April 21, 2011 Members Share Posted April 21, 2011 If Maria likes an actor she will make the character frontburner( Compare Vail's Heather to Eden's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
