This one is from me after hearing his statement.

Part of the reason I don't watch that show. I wish he had taken a full time job at GMA. I think he's a nice guy, but RyApe is revolting.I'll take TSJ as Todd any day, at least he's somewhat entertaining.

He just ruined the show. He isnt all the problem but he is part of it. He was shoved down the audience throats for so long now. I use to love the Ryan character until AMC became all about him.

Ryan/CM is hardly the lead/screen hog he used to be, and his characterization has improved a lot. Having him on board for nuAMC would definitely not be the worst thing in the world.

The reason Ryan/CM was brought back was to raise the ratings because AMC had fallen so badly.

I remember one of his first scenes was him shirtless. From there it was full speed ahead for the Ryan Lavery Show.

The worst part of Ryan is always Greenlee. I'm hoping neither of them are on this show but if the dead fish can get work elsewhere that will be an automatic improvement.

You're right...except you're wrong.

July 29, 2002 - August 2, 2002 (a month after CM's exit)

June 23, 2003 - June 27, 2003 (a month before CM's return)

HH: 2.9

18-49: 1.8

Not a whole lot of deviation.

I remember one of his first scenes was him shirtless.

Surprising...except not.

His first scene was shirtless. He staggered in while pretending he'd been injured in a bus accident. Gloria busted him.

BRING BACK TERESA BLAKE FOR THE WEBSOAP!11!!11!

To be honest what else can they say? "Sorry but I'll take my chances on the audition circuit. Peace out!"

They could say nothing at all, or they could say that. I have a feeling some will say that, maybe with a little more tact, but it will amount to the same thing. They certainly have every right to do whatever they want with their careers.

Now she was an interesting character. I'd like her back too in the final months.

"Hang in there AMC & OLTL fans. Don't give up your quality control. This could all go away tomorow."

That sounds rather dire. What is she really trying to communicate? Why would HBS think soap fans have any control over the quality of their soaps, on TV or online? I don't understand what she's talking about. Do you?

Oh wow okay, so we're back to acting like losing .2 of a ratings point (for one week) is this OMFG HUGE DRAMATIC DRASTIC DEVASTATING RATINGS LOSS!!!!!!1!!!!1!11one!one!eleven. Never mind the fact that they picked that they went right back to 2.9 the following week and stayed there the rest of June. They were at 2.8 for July, but again, the smallest possible loss (ratings-wise) was not cause for alarm, I'm sure.

The mags make up all kinds of [!@#$%^&*] on their own.

I wish soaps would get out of this mentality that all these named actors or returns will raise ratings. Other than VM's 2002 return to GH name me one other soap actor that has had this kind of impact. Look at Y&R with all their named soap stars and has it helped them?

Now she was an interesting character. I'd like her back too in the final months.

I'd love to see her again. She had such good chemistry with everyone and was so unique.
