Sorry, I assume you don't. You've made it clear from your comments.

I used to think you were a sometimes insightful, honest fan of this show who just had trouble expressing herself online and people unfairly picked on you. Now you're beginning to make me think you're a true internet troll who doesn't repeat the same comments because she doesn't understand how to post but because she gets some sort of pleasure with having people disagree and make fun of her. It's pretty sad--but mostly annoying (which means as a troll, you won, in a way! :) )

No, but you assumed that these new ventures meant they were moving on. When really, those PP projects for other networks are a completely different and largely unrelated branch of this company and something they've been doing for years--so not directly releavnt to this attempt at a new brand with these soaps. So it has zero bearing.

I'm glad to see that PP is continuing to produce other shows. Personally I don't want them to be solely dependent on AMC and OLTL. I want them to have a number of revenue sources. That can only benefit the soaps in any number of ways. I know Wilfred is still doing okay. Is this the final season for Royal Pains? Honestly I can't tell the USA shows apart anymore so maybe I'm thinking of Burn Notice or Covert Affairs. Also, someone help my memory but wasn't one of the carrots PP used to attract the actors first time around was that they might have employment opportunities on the other shows PP makes?

Somebody among my Facebook friends had mentioned Burn Notice going off soon, but I too can't tell the USA shows apart.

I also recall the potential of the soap actors appearing on other PP projects as an incentive to join.

Oh, SOC isn't that bad :) But, yeah, those Facebook/Hula people need to be kept at bay.. or at least let PP know there are fans out there who are, shall we say, on the ball/literate.

The colors of the site-blech! Too bright. But if they have good content, I can deal with just about anything..

    • In an interesting turn of irony, when Somerset came onto the airwaves in 1970... it ran against Dark Shadows and beat it in the ratings fairly quickly.  Then when Edge of Night moves to ABC in December 1975 and put against Somerset, the slow ratings rise that Somerset was allegedly having in late 1975 is derailed. From reading the write ups of the final year, the show dropped the May/December romance.. which viewers enjoyed and was getting the show some good press... the original cast member was sidelined due to medical issues, and the show featured pure crime stories without any balance. I think the crime focus was an attempt to compete with EON.  However, people that were into crime stories/mysteries weren't going to tune into Somerset for their fix.. not when Edge of Night was known for that.. and that show was running on a high quality wise when the network switch occurred.

    • Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
