SOAPnet's janky ass can't even be bothered to make this the "first panel" news item. It's not in ANY of the panels, it's kicked off down towards the bottom. Frons, somewhere in Africa there's an ostrich head that I'd love to see stuck up your ass, pecking away at all of your slimy insides.

Well, I don't know that I believe that they'll be the focus, not with LB there to balance a bit. So yes, I do think there's reason to hope there. And I do. :) I just don't and can't believe they'll end up anywhere else. It just seems like the one thing we can count out. I just want balance, true to character interactions, that are based in history. I'm willing to except the show ending, but I don't want to be left sitting here going, "Where was David? What happened to him?" etc.

I'm just hearing this. Unbelievable. I'm going to miss OLTL like crazy. To this day I still miss The Edge of Night.

Well, I have to January to enjoy the show. After this I won't be watching anymore daytime TV. I'm going to miss the genre.

Mallory rocks :wub:

It's truly the end of an era and I am just...so sad.

And it's doubly sad and also [!@#$%^&*] enraging that Brian Frons still has a job.

First of all, the shows replacing AMC and OLTL? The Revolution and The Chew. SAY THAT OUT LOUD: THE CHEW. Did you just turn bright red and look over your shoulder to make sure nobody heard you say that? Because OMFG, that is just epically lame. The Chew! I ask you.

You've told me this before... and I know why you feel that way, Eric. And this doesn't relate to the discussion between you, Kylie, and myself so much... but more about your "Pollyanna" comment: I remember a time when I posted a positive opinion on the board, and a couple of people responded as if I (and anyone who happened to agree with me) was delusional... I even remember someone inferring that I worked for ABC, and was promoting for them... and I'm pretty sure this just because I was looking forward to Lorraine Broderick's work airing!

Though I backed away from the board because I wanted to avoid that kind of conflict, I'm not mad about it... because I think the people who said things like that were really just incredibly pissed off by what happened under Pratt (or B&E, McTavish, you name it) and weren't ready to have any optimism just yet. And to them, I probably did sound absurd to suggest that LB could do something positive in setting the right course for AMC...

But I happen to think you sound level-headed about it, Eric... and you're really honest with YOURSELF about your feelings for the two shows, and you let that show openly here. I've always appreciated that about you.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
