This soap opera scribe is setting the stage for a huge disaster storyline. Will there be casualties when everything comes crashing down?

More top secret returns are headed to this sudser.

Battle lines are being drawn for control at one daytime soap, as the creatives square off against a network suit.

No one wants to work with this soap hunk. If his current on screen romance doesn’t work out, there’s talk of another recast or resting the character.

This veteran soap diva is not thrilled about her current storyline. She’s usually a team player, but has been making noise of late.

This multi-soap icon is on her way out and she doesn’t even know it.

One popular soap princess has taken her sweet time in warming up to her new leading man. Considering how long she tends to sit on the backburner, you’d think she’d be happy to have a hot new storyline!

It pisses one showrunner off royally when he or she hears about actors skipping out on fans at events.

A certain cabler is thisclose to booking an awards show near and dear to soap fans’ hearts.

I figured the disaster story would be Pratt for Y&R. I was already expecting it. Didn't he do a tornado on AMC? It'd be a way for him to "clean house" in a sense and get rid of a couple people he may not want to write for.

I think Days is the creative/executives fight as well. Show can't catch a break.

Is Kristian Alfonso considered a "diva"? I wonder if Melody Thomas Scott on Y&R? Her story about drinking then not drinking and Ian has been kind of lame and doesn't do Nikki any favors.

It prob is Cady leaving Y&R and not knowing it yet. I was just finally starting to find Kelly not so annoying.

    • If NBC could have for seen the ratings of Lovers & Friends (the replacement for Somerset).. they would have for sure kept Somerset on the air longer. https://jason47.com/days/ratings1976.html  (ratings for Somerset in the final year) https://jason47.com/days/ratings1977.html (ratings for Lovers & Friends short run...getting as low as a 2 rating).

    • I liked them, too, and was really disappointed it never went anywhere. The whole art theft story was ridiculous, but they had a nice chemistry. Certainly nicer than Alan with Christine. With her, he looked like the funny uncle. The worst thing they did to Bolger, IMO, was having Phillip write that DREADFUL novel and dramatizing it while he wrote it. GAG, that has to be in the running for one of their worst storylines that didn't involve wacky things like clones or time travel. Soaps rarely do school storylines, or don't do them for very long. Not the case so much in the early days of soaps, but after GH took off in the late 70s other soaps took their lead and would catapult teens/young adults into adult stories right away. That's one reason Phillip and Mindy ended up with so many ex-spouses--they started getting married really young. They shipped Dina and Cameron off really fast after high school and stuck Alan Michael in a marriage storyline with Harley. Did he EVER go to college? I don't think so. It may also partly explain why Quint and Annabelle had to go, beyond TPTB wanting to do a cast sweep. Teaching is not a profession that plays well on a soap. Quint definitely had to quit being Indiana Jones, because that wore thin really fast, but they didn't do him favors by making him a professor. If they wanted to keep him, they should have done what they did with Amanda (who was in another dead-end soap job, concert pianist)--have him work at Spaulding as one of the major stockholders.
    • Judith McConnell (Augusta) and Denise Alexander (Lesley) were great screen partners on GH.  They got into some stellar arguments in character in the medicine room.
    • He also commented that Brad knows that fans are sick of the constant fake deaths on this show: Finn, Sheila, etc and that it's hard to take this seriously if it's another fake death

    • I just don't think Brad Bell has it in him to actually kill off Liam. He should have killed off Eric when he had the chance. I know John McCook is an original cast member, but Eric is even more useless than Liam. Eric should have died and then it would be revealed that he died without a valid will, so Donna, as his wife, inherits everything, including his shares in Forrester Creations.
    • I think we all will, isn't that how soaps work? lol    
    • ^^ I'll believe it when it actually happens.
