Members y&r_fan Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Do you think soaps should scrap the previews at the end of episodes? I think B&B is the only one that still doesn't have them (they put theirs on the official website instead). I think previews kill the mood after a powerful cliffhanger and waste 20 seconds or so that could be used to expand the episode. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think they should if that would mean they would bring back the recap. I miss the "Previously on [insert Soap]" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 To be honest, I never missed them when AMC got rid of them. It didn't really make a difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes. Especially since, most of the time, they are done so idiotically that they reveal the resolution to that day's cliffhanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Usually I'm not even paying attention when they flash by. When everyone was so excited that the GH ones were back I could care less though sometimes I catch certain oens and see that tomorrow is gonna eb some crap I don't wanna tune in for. ITA to the ones who said show the previously on [insert Soap name] instead. And for certain soaps maybe that would give them reason to stop recapping through dialogue instead.

Members allmc2008 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 The next day preview is point less if they are really trying to get viewers because they are spoiling everything. A recap, however, will draw in new viewer's because they will have an idea about the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I personally prefer them. Most of the time the remaining Soaps don't do good cliffhangers anyway so it doesn't kill anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 It really doesn't matter. There are only 2 soaps doing them anyway. DAYS doesn't do them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 B&B does them but its exclusive to their online site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCrrR-TsfOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 It was nice to know whether or not I needed to bother watching most of the next day's episode but it's not like I couldn't make that decision after the first five minutes of an episode. I agree that "previouslies" are probably more valuable. I like them on primetime shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 If they did scrap them it wouldn't expand the episode since they would still roll the end credits and like NBC is would be used as promotion for other network programs.

Members Khan Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 There are a great many things (daytime) soaps should do away, including recaps and previews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I like that guy who does the recaps on B&B's site. I don't watch them often but when I do they are hilarious. They need to put those in the beginning of Monday's epi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted July 13, 2013 Members Share Posted July 13, 2013 I hate next day previews. They ruin the cliffhanger for me, mostly on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 GH's preview sometimes spoils the cliffhanger. Like if you think a secret is going to be revealed or a character may or may not pop up, and 2 seconds after the cliffhanger ending you find out in the next day's preview.
