Because of the streamers, we now have more television then ever. You cannot tell me that there wasn't a well of talent available to write for daytime.
All of us who love soap opera should be angry that those in power -- the networks, the studios, the executives, whoever -- keep recycling the same writers with the same ideas and soap tropes. It's maddening.
The reluctance to change and experiment, the fear of losing their audience, the desperation of it all... honestly, it's hard to accept, especially with budgets getting sliced all the time.
I've been around for a long time, and I keep watching because I love the genre and because I'm addicted. I cannot see young people becoming addicted to the stuff they give us.
