Y&R: MAB OUT! Hamner OUT! JFP IN! Griffith IN! Sheffer UNKNOWN!

[DeeeDee]

Exactly.

There was a TON of story there but Maria was done with the story in a MONTH.

She's no different than the insane entitled fanbases who whine when headwriters don't cater to them.

[y&r_fan]

And Brooke, Bill and Katie are still featured prominently.

[DRW50]

The Newmans aren't a family. They have no real relationships with each other, aside from bitching.

JFP will probably kill off the few good characters left, but I will always blame LML/MAB for taking away the families. And Sheffer, of course.

Sheffer hates daytime and has done his best to destroy three shows. In today's soap world, that means job security

[DRW50]

She annoys me more because I would hope the soap press would want to care about fixing what is left of daytime, not coddling, enabling, and caring only about themselves.

A source by the name of "Beter Pergman" is already giving SOD an exclusive

[DRW50]

That would be a mercy killing. At least Jack would have a reason to cry.

[kalbir]

Look at all the changes ABC made, and then they proceeded to cancel two shows. At this point, we can only guess and wait as to what CBS/Sony has planned.

Well, he's been on the show for over 21 years. That puts him in the veteran category I think.

[DRW50]

The minorities have already been so degraded and segregated, if JFP gets rid of them, MAB made the job easy.

Christine and Nina are only back briefly, Lauren is rarely seen. Paul I think will be one of the first out. Heather probably will too, as JFP would likely see Jennifer Landon as too ugly for color TV.

We never see TLW anyway.

[DeeeDee]

LMAO

[DeeeDee]

There's still Scottie Pippen!

That was going to happen anyway.

That's a good thing (for Beth Maitland too).

[DRW50]

If JFP actually gave TLW a role I think she'd do fine - at GL Phelps did give some story to black characters, at least the first few years. Not sure why that changed.

[DRW50]

I have to laugh at Giddens trashing MAB so badly (even saying she's drinking in her office). She bought way too much of her own hype from the soap press. They are not your friend just because they call you "Auntie Ri-Ri."

[DeeeDee]

Tonya is Black, Female & over 40.

The only job for her in soaps these days is as a maid.

[DRW50]

Sony has kept Sheffer employed for about 6 years now - at this point I will be surprised if he goes.

MAB dry your tears on that ugly pashmina.

You didn't see his run on GH...

I would like to see Houghton back. Sally I liked on DAYS, but it's not easy to forget that whole interview thing a few years ago which didn't really do her any favors.

[Chris B]

Carl, can you refresh us on that Sally interview and what she said?
