It's not really the same though is it? I'm not complaining (in fact this is nothing but an academic debate really) because I'm an OLTL fan. I'm just saying that I think their little wink to soap fans turned out lame because Nathan Fillion was a OLTL actor. If he had been an AMC actor and they used OLTL stars, it would have been equally weak.

And it's true that I'm not the least but "grateful" about the title of the episode or anything else about it. Just like I'm not grateful when I go to the store and they have the brand of peanut butter I want to buy. I'm the customer. They either give me what I want or I take my business elsewhere. Gratitude does not play a part, just like sentiment doesn't play a part for network executives.

To be honest do you think AMC fans were grateful for RB and CM appearing on CAstle. As one I could tell you I really could care less and I don't think this was about Frons pimping AMC it was about pimping his 2 fave actors in ABC Daytime. If it was about pimping his fave show it would have been 2 actors from GH. Be grateful he didn't pick anyone from OLTL because if he did it likely would have been JPL and FF

I hope not. My point is that we don't have to be grateful when the entertainment industry throws us any sort of bone. We are the customers. It's their job to please us in order to get our business. If they don't, we should take our business elsewhere. Obviously, many of us already have.

I think (i read the usenet groups a bit back then) some fans did complain--mainly cuz they said AW needed more promotion (fair enough) and actually filmed where Friends was set (though not shot) but Days had much more random name appeal back then and the actors worked in the same town.

It's true though AMC/OLTL fans have really been pitted up against each other (even though many of us watch both shows...) If it makes people feel better Roseanne had GH and OLTL cameos but not AMC lol (but I think that was just cuz she watched those shows and had final say...)

What a great, insightful interview...love the way she described Kendall. She's clearly ready to move on but is still open to making appearances on AMC. Hopefully PP sees and adheres to that. I hope Kendall isn't killed off...

Interesting comments she made about cast members who really want to stay with AMC

Also what she said about SL on the last day makes me SO freaking sad...

I am really excited that PP sees what an asset FV really is. He has kept OLTL under budget for years and I think he will help AMC tremendously to run more efficiently. Hopefully PP with FV will find a common ground with Susan Lucci and she will stay with the show. Yes, she rejected the first offer but who's to say she won't accept the next offer?

    • Ana Alicia was far more dynamic and charismatic than McGeehan or Vernon though. Some of it due to the writing of course, but not all of it.
    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
