I'm glad you said this. No truer words have been spoken. IMO, AMC being successful on PP has nothing to do with Susan Lucci. As you've stated AMC has tanked with her on the show. I think we all know a by now a good story is what will bring in viewers. Though I think RH's return brought viewers back, I think the story is what's making them hang around. Hopefully, these two show will give the fans something to tune in for.

Just off topic a bit. Does anyone know how The Real Housewives repeats are doing on NBC? They marketed it as a companion piece to Days and it really doesn't appear to have benefitted Days but I was wondering how the repeats of Wives was doing. I am kind of wondering if they could be looking at these shows as a companion piece on their network.

That makes sense, although I think Tad and Angie and Jesse, and to a tiny extent Opal do have some of that element you mentioned with the OLTL legacy characters--there's a reason Tad was on the Oprah special. Of ocurse it sounds like MEK is on the fence about re signing (though so was Michael Easton by the same rumours) and we've definitely lost Angie...

How many affiliates are even airing the Housewives repeats? The Seattle NBC certainly isn't, and never has...

UGH well I guess this "news" about Lucci leaving and AMC being backburnered, has spread like wildfire as intended. I got several texts today while at work from three different friends telling me that Susan Lucci officially dropped any chance of being on the show, and so the show was backburnered which means it won't happen...

Right, but they basically said that Lucci turned down the offer made to her. Not refused to consider any offer, etc (I know some will say that's just semantics and me holding out hope--so be it LOL)

I'll bite, I have no idea--which do O&O own, or how many?

    • Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for he thought he deserved.  noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong.
    • I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.
    • Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
    • May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE
    • Well life is full of surprises. And it's not the first time over the last few years the 'murder mystery' target has moved off a GH character. So...we'll see.

    • I'm not a Philip fan, but Xander is a kidnapping, murderous thug! I loathe Xander. I don't know why Sarah stays with him. The Stephanie manuscript sex book ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Yawn...this is the best they can write for Stephanie?
    • I agree. I like grey characters. But today veered to dark  Of course not. That's ludicrous 
    • They shouldn't be on the show anymore. The whole Dimera clan should've been written out long time ago. Xander once again turning to violence. He should be in jail. Is he going to beat up Sarah when Xander finds out Sarah lied to him?
    • A recent discussion in the Loving/City forum inspired me to re-read the history of Devon Shepherd.  According to contemporary sources to the plot, Devon never actually kissed Dr. Lynn Carson, PhD. I'd be eager to know if anyone recalls it differently.  My visual memory of Lyn was that she was always dressed in lady-professional drag of the 1980s.   And, that Donna Peskow never toned down her New York accent. Meanwhile, has there ever been a more boring offspring than Devon? On paper, she had it all.  Teen pregnancy, alcoholism, brief foray into bisexuality, adultery, Devon was always down to clown.  But, she was an eternal meekly mouse, with those tiny braids and that namby-pamby vocal tone.  Mr. Shepard must have been a huge nerd, because Devon inherited none of her mother's charm or elegance.  And, don't get me started on her terrible choices for romantic partners.  One can hardly blame Ellen for forgetting about Devon and pretending Julie was her daughter.

      Side note: Devon fell for Cliff Warner after her performed the Heimlich Maneuver on Bonnie and saved her from choking in 1984.  I don't know why this caused me to go on a side quest, but, the Heimlich Maneuver is a relatively recent innovation.  Up until 1986 the government still trained food workers to slap a person on the back in order to dislodge food.  Heimlich's treatment was superior, and in an effort to make it policy, ABC and the other networks agreed to air pro-Heimlich content starting in 1984, according to TV Guide.  So, Cliff was responsible for training mothers at home how to stop their kids from choking.
