I'll be honest, I love this kind of melodrama and I do want the soaps saved, plus, it's a gorgeous day so it would have been nice to be out. If the drive into LA wasn't such a nightmare, I would have a least made it 16. :lol: I braved that traffic for Susan Lucci...and even she was pushing it.

I haven't commented since the announcement was made that ABC was canceling AMC and OLTL. I am truly devastated that we are losing more soaps. What makes this even more painful is AMC and OLTL didn't deserve to be canceled. All the information that has come to light how ABC has been so mismanaged by Brian Frons only angers me more. I thought Susan Lee was the devil in disguise when she was the head of NBC daytime but Brian Frons truly has her beat. Since he arrived at ABC he has canceled Port Charles, All My Children and One Life to Live. SoapNet has also been run into the ground under his watch. This is unacceptable to me. I read through this thread everyday and it sickens me more and more. I am no longer going to watch ABC daytime and I will turn all of my soap viewing to Bold & Beautiful, a show I have watched from the beginning. If and when that one goes that will be when my soap viewing ceases. This is truly a sad time for television and viewers of the soaps.

HA! That pathetic "protest" will be nothing like my ''Super Triple-Slap Hair Toss Erica Kane Mega Bitch Protest''. We're gonna make international news, y'all.

Some people still haven't chosen their looks, though.

reallyhateskateonlost, I suggest you go as Erica's nun on the run look.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
