They'll mess it up once Brooke's vagina returns. Time to move her to the background but they won't.

Ha…watching the credits today I thought great to see Brooke's picture but glad she isn't front and center.

the focus has been CaRidge and Raya, guess that's what people want to see! Go on with your bad self B&B

Go Jean P yay yay. She truly went out with. Vengeance. She truly blew us all some magic pixie dust.

The crazy ratings news is the Talk beating the View in viewership. The Talk is clicking so well with great chemistry, fun segments and very much Enjoying the show. The View is a train wreck. IMO ABC should bring Joy Behar, Star Jones and Elisabeth Hasselback. Give the fans the old view back.

On the DAYS front it couldn't even rise when other shows are. The show needs a serious change in either a new head writer or exec producer or both.

Dang when is the last time B&B hit 3.0?! Days continues to struggle...

Days is just sinking and it's it's totally the fault of the Eps and writers.

CBS is going into the new year very strong. I think YR will have a short resurgence.

B&B performing so well has to surprise Brad - I mean the show completely went all in on the simmering B story (Myrabella/Rick/Caroline/Rick) after KM left in mid-December. It's hard to believe it was ever the Hope show. With Brooke coming back and a Hope recast coming down the pike, will B&B relegate this story to B status again? I 'hope' not.

The Talk is succeeding because it's what The View once was. I don't want to make this a political post, except to say I think viewers are getting tired of political "talking heads" shouting over each other and that's what The View has turned into... I'm not the biggest fan of Julie Chen, but she does a great job guiding that panel.

And yes, Days needs a change in both writing and producing.
