I wish I could find a websoap I've taken to, but I remain openminded.

You're right though. Even when soaps were at their peak and apparently were largely paying for the primetime shows, the execs never really cared or tried to get the genre. They wanted even more money and in the 80s is really when they slowly started to interfere more and more--without really getting the appeal. Ratings dropped (partly due to this clueless interference I remain convinced but partly because all network program ratings dropped--even primetime for the most part has fallen percentage wise not much less than daytime), clueless execs tampered more to try to stop this and it became a vicious cycle of sorts.

Jamey must be thrilled that his precitions he teased fans with for ages came true! SUCCESS!

Ok, thanks. I would hope they at least acknowledge it. OLTL is their neighbor and they did do that huge show for the 40th anniversary of AMC and coinciding with the move. I know it was just free publicity for ABC, but still...

Don't forget Raven! She CALLED it too :rolleyes: LOL

Oh Eric.... you know I have lost touch with this show over the last year and a bit.... but I took comfort in the fact that it was still apart of the landscape which meant there was always a chance of it getting back SOME of its former glory. Come Sept. I will no longer have that :( I say I made peace with this long ago, but part of me is really starting to get depressed. What will we do? :(

La Lucci must be furious! All those interviews in the past 2 weeks where she claims that AMC isn't going anywhere and that she got her schedule for the next year. And how unclassy of ABC that people like Robin Strasser found out the news the way that she did. These people deserved better.

       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.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
