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?

    • It's quite confusing what she's doing with her character. I'm not from the DMV, but what is that accent? Is she pulling a Dorit? Also, why are Dani and Pamela acting like they're broke. They don't have any money aside to start up a business? With their background in the modeling world, why would they even need a physical studio? They have connections (and Dani wasn't afraid to mention it when she was tasked to replace Chelsea in the fashion show when Chels pulled out). They can literally use Dani's small catwalk in her house to test potential models. They can easily scout online using social media. It's 2025! Dani is supposedly a recognized model from her day, then have her act like it. I know some people are saying it's a stretch, but in the 90s there were plenty of models that graced covers and runways with the likes of Naomi and Christie that were never as big, but they still rubbed elbows had successful careers. Dani could easily fall into that category. Also, it's not like a lot of this big name 80s and 90s models didn't go on to live very typical lives after their moment faded...why couldn't Dani be that. 
    • Ashley just wants to schtup Andre. She needed to create a big meltdown in order to get rid of Derek and feel no guilt. Doug needed to lay Joey out on the floor. He needs to get some courage and beat Joey down to the ground. Kat turning down a date with Tomas to see if Eva was locked up is a sign she's going to lose him. Even without Eva in the picture she was going to have problems. The way she talked to him when he bumped into her and she didn't know it was him seemed to be a red flag too. Leslie has revealed a whole lot of the truth on her own. Without her making all those comments to Kat she wouldn't have ended up at the police station. 
    • Do we think Shelley Curtis is the director KM said was brought out of retirement to help them set up the production side of BTG?
    • TBH the only soap I remotely liked Cady on was ATWT   I dunno WTH she's doing with Pamela on this show but it's cringe beyond words
    • Kelli Giddish (Di Henry, AMC) has been reinstated as a regular in her popular role on Law & Order: SVU after a few seasons off.

    • Regarding the mobster storyline: The scripts, the cardroom set, and the writing for Joey -- are all terrible. They seem to be writing a realistic depiction of compulsive gambling as an addiction, showing that it pops into his head all the time -- it has become hardwired into his brain.  The APA (American Psychological Association) describes compulsive gambling as having a similar effect on the physical brain as drug and alcohol addiction. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2023/07/how-gambling-affects-the-brain I think Jason Graham (Doug) is doing an adequate job playing Doug as a compulsive gambler, with the thoughts/urges coming into his head all the time, and being unable to stop. However, the cardroom set is awful and the mobster storyline is a bad cliché, so it's all so uninteresting to watch. I think Mr. Graham is doing the best he can with the crap they gave him to work with. If anyone reading or watching has a gambling issue, check out Gamblers Anonymous.  They have many types of meetings -- in-person, online, video, audio, etc.  They also have resources for friends/family of compulsive gamblers.
