I think a seasonal schedule is a wonderful idea for both shows, and I had thought about something very, very similar not long ago for OLTL.

That said, Carruthers cannot manage the budget of a show with network money, let alone this. And frankly I'd like to see new writers at both shows, at least to supplement the existing ones.

Right now EVERYBODY is probably throwing out ideas on how to make this work. They can't contact actors until they know what they're going to do and what the focus needs to be for the new AMC. I'm not gonna worry until things are confirmed. Lorraine is going to remain HW (i think that is one of the few facts we know) and I'm sure she'll look at what she has and be able to craft something. It's too early to label this a flop. It does look disorganized and I felt the same way at first, but they're still developing the idea.

I agree with Chris. And what they really need here is time, I am sure they are dancing as fast as they can right now. I really like this seasonal idea, and it will require an added element of planning if they are to focus on particular characters for future arcs based on actor availability. I can only speak for myself, but I just don't buy this idea that a huge chunk of audience will fall off if the show doesn't move online a weekend after it wraps on TV. If you lose interest after only a couple of weeks, you really weren't that on board to begin with. If they told you your favorite soap was moving to primetime, you'd probably be thrilled and giddily wait all summer for it to debut. I know this online thing is *new*, it is certainly an adjustment, but folks need to think outside the box here. Right now, I feel like too many people are already trashing their meal while the chef is still busy preparing it.

Oh damn looks like Jamey might've been wrong!

Alicia Minshew insists that an online report pegging her as a no-go for the online version of AMC is false. "I have made absolutely no decision about appearing on ALL MY CHILDREN after its last TV episode because I know nothing!" the actress tells Digest. "I have not been spoken to at all [by the show's new owners, Prospect Park] and I have not told anyone that I am leaving. I don't know where that came from. The same story said that I'm tired of commuting between New York and L.A. For the record, I am not tired of commuting because I have never commuted — I live in Los Angeles now! I really do appreciate that people are taking an interest in me and Kendall and the future of the show," she adds. "But if they want to know, they should ask me!"

    • Goulet also had an odd way of speaking - very clipped and brisk, like she had just gotten out of a '40s film. She sounded out of breath. She had this on all her soaps. She was a better actress than Tolan and did well enough with Mary's grief over her marriage in her final week or two in the part but had no real spark.  I agree they may have found a better Mary if they had tried harder. For some reason the recasting for the Ryan kids was never what it should have been. I don't know what was going on with Barbie Siobhan. Maybe that was ABC.
    • The finale peaked at 31.1 rating when Katherine hit Bobby with her car.
    • Exactly. And it's not like Stephanie didn't live a life when Hennig played her.  There are so many stories and relationships you can mine from her past.  And we just got......a book and sex with Alex or the random Bobby backstory which no one needed  I trust new writing can get the character back on track.  Like I said, I do think Abigail Klein has charisma.
    • Today (Thurs May 15) eppy not on paramount *menu* but it's on cbs.com. If you take the cbs episode URL and substituted paramountplus for cbs in the same URL, you get the episode on pplus https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/ https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/
    • Really good episode today. Even the characters who usually annoy me, like Chase and Brook Lynn, got some sweet scenes. I also appreciate that they're finally giving Lucky more to do, letting him in on Ric & Ava's blackmail scheme. And those Liz and Lucas scenes were fantastic;  Van Hansis has been bringing such playfulness to the role of Lucas, he brings out the best in scene partners like Laura Wright and Becky Herbst. It was also nice to get Liz's perspective on why her romantic rapprochment with Lucky is moving so slow; it makes perfect sense that she thinks he's not really capable of settling down, even if he wants to be with her. 
    • I thought Keith did great as well. His scene with Colby was what sold me. He displayed the emotions that a man who knows he's made a mistake and wants to rectify should have. Its funny how Maurice has been given passes in his acting that other actors have not. What Keith has shown me is that he can atleast keep up with the ladies in his story instead of them acting circles around him when Maurice was playing the role.      
    • Also Murder, She Wrote season 3 finale was the week before.
    • When Kat was in Ted's hotel room and he wasn't there, she started to write a note to leave for him, and then thought Why? and texted him instead.  Love that.
