So... you think it's fair to say I won't be reprising the role of Schuyler Joplin any time soon? Humor aside, what happened to OLTL and AMC is tragic and unfair, in my opinion. Such a skilled cast and crew. My thoughts are with them. Apologies to those of you who found my joke to be in poor taste. I get it. Humor is just a way to cope. I love ABC, they are family to me.

LOL at Tonja, never knew she had a little Brenda Dickson in her.

I love SL but I'm less interested in seeing her act as much as be herself at this point. Especially if we can't get some projects where she breaks out of her brand. I liked how in Double Edge she did the little Bensonhoist accent for the federal agent, little things like that. I don't think her voice is quite strong enough for a sustained Broadway musical career. She'd be better off in a stunt casty straight play. I'm still rooting for a reality show though her life seems a little too *lovely* to sell. -_-

And yes AMS, lol at putting a food show and a weight loss show smack dab against one another, they cancel each other out.

I doubt she would be coming back anyway, and if she did it would be for more bad comedy. If Frons is as apathetic as he seems to be then he wouldn't care who does or doesn't show up at OLTL, and he would let Tonja return. Alex 1991-1993 was just a brilliant psycho, one of the best soap characters ever. Alex after that...not so much.

This was the kiss of death right here:

"The Deadline.com piece is just the latest story in a long line of stories about this same topic. There is no change for the current ABC daytime schedule."

And that was just a few weeks ago.

Just the latest in a long list of lies by ABC.

I love her, especially back when Alex was Asa's wife and the mayor, but Tonja Walker has always been a little off. I remember 5-7 years ago she did an online interview and could not stop rambling about Catherine Hickland, who she had likely never met, and the character of Lindsay, and kept insisting Lindsay had to die violently in order for Alex to reclaim her "throne."

9/11? Ouch.

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away. 
    • I caught up this past weekend. The show is better written, but I have been bored with the show. I did notice it ranked in the top 5 again this week, so that's a good sign.
    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode

    • That would've been a good pick! She was great on B&B and like you said, she's already in Atlanta.
