Interesting part of article:

There are ways to move things around to keep General Hospital, but insiders caution there’s no deal yet for Couric since CBS still has several weeks to match the offer. “Everybody still believes that ABC is the real underdog in any negotiation,” says an ABC insider.

Seriously, who would say no? I think though that she has to look at ABC's track record in syndication and CBS Television Distribution's - because if she does that there is absolutely no way she can choose ABC over CBS. It would make absolutely no sense.

I still think Katie Couric could be successful with a daytime talk show in syndication (on the right network) and cater to a younger crowd too. She's already seen as the "cool" journalist because of those interviews she did with Lil Wayne and Drake.

Say Katie does sign a deal with ABC, that doesn't mean she has to *necessarily* take GH's slot... at least not right away, right? Could she be under ABC's banner a la Regis and Kelly and still be syndicated on ABC stations across the country, like, at Oprah's old slot of 4pm Eastern in several markets?

Poor Frankie. He never would have had to owe Ricky that "thou" for the wedding if he hadn't have lost his job with the ad agency. :-(

Say, remember when Randi's mother would beat the hell out of her w/ a hot iron, and Angie demanded that David "Do somethin', Negro!"? Now that was some AMGT!

(Seriously, it's scary how many AMC/GT connections we're making all of a sudden.)

La Lucci is on Entertainment Tonight. It sounds like it's going to be a long sitdown interview. It airs in two parts.

    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can't hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

      look who’s at a party I’m at
    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.

      I came in with a dream and left with a purpose. From lecture halls to rehearsals, community work to creative sets, every moment shaped me. I’m so proud of the stories I’ve told here — and the ones still unfolding. Grateful to everyone who poured into me, supported me, challenged me, and believed in me. Fours up and peace out! #UCLA #ClassOf2025 #BlackBruinExcellence #YearbookVideo @jordanward              
    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!
