He's always seemed like a bit of a smirky, pretentious type underneath the mask, to me, so I do wonder how he would fare on this type of show. I guess they could try it out. I tend to enjoy him most with Kathy Griffin.

Anderson Cooper strikes me as very down to earth.   He doesn't live 50 stories up with a doorman protecting him.  He lives in a converted firehouse on a busy street right next door to two bars with people literally vomiting in front of his door at times.   He walks around the street no security in jeans just like everyone else, and  from the couple of times I have seen him he comes off as normal as it gets.

Kelly has earned nothing beyond the signature of her contract!  She is an EMPLOYEE not entitled to executive decisions or getting information when she thinks she should get it.  She may be half of the duo, but Kelly is STILL an employee.  How many of us are "in the know" at our jobs? Do we get to no show because our feelings are hurt?  Does Kelly own any part of that show?  No she does not.  She's getting $20mill a year for talking 37 minutes 5 days a week.  Besides, she didn't know Regis was leaving until 20 minutes before he announced it on air.  Kelly needs to get over herself NOW!  I really hate when executives lose control of their shows.  Look at what that kunt Fillion has done to Castle (luckily, I don't watch that show).  Benard has all characters kissing Scummy's ass on GH.  Its ridiculous, but folks want to criticize Rhymes for maintaining control of her shows?  This is such bullchit!

I tuned in for a bit and couldn't help laughing at the dancing Kelly Ripa image appearing in a segment with Strahan and Erin Andrews. It was like some type of remote control trolling.

Kelly will definitely return she gets paid too much money. Maybe she wants a pay raise God going up to 30 to 35 million a year lol or ownership of the show.. U know Ripa just bought a 27 million townhouse in NYC and she has a big mansion in the Hamptons. She is beyond rich and loaded. I just thought of this if she and Mark ever divorced he would get half of her money. What does Mark ever do he's Mr Ripa lol. Ripa will come back obviously. Honestly I think Neil Patrick Harris would be great. Why would they ever cancel Live when the ratings are fantastic? Remember ABC tried a GPA spinoff and it failed miserably.

And folks need to stop saying she was blindsided.  Kelly was told before the free world.  Kelly simply wanted to be in the know with the executives, something she is not.  I can't believe folks are feeling bad for her.  Such trash!

I truly don't believe Kelly Ripa cares whether Michael Strahan stays or goes.  I believe this has more to do with her (and her producers) not being told he was even in negotiations with Ben Sherwood until the deal was done and the announcement was given to the press.  So, if you're thinking she's acting like a diva because no one sought her approval on the deal, then...I don't know what to tell you.

Was it even addressed today …her absence again? She is doing herself no favors with her childish tantrums. It puts more pressure/work for Michael Gelman to find a replacement for her everyday. I am sure Gelman is just as upset but you don't see him leaving the show hi and dry….LOL

I feel as if ABC is on the verge of becoming the next NBC -- which is shameful, after all Steve McPherson did to pull the network out of its pre-Shondaland/"Desperate Housewives" doldrums.

+1.

Agreed. I think Kelly has for sure earned the respect to not be blindsided like this multiple times.

It was announced yesterday that Kelly would be out the rest of the week.

      -- I love a good build, and the show has made me look forward to Winterfest. But some things seem so forced.  -- For example, the Vernon/Sharon meetups. GMAB. It's so obvious what this is and they're playing it too hard for too long.  I think one purpose is to make Leslie look like a fool, but it's hard to take. Is the tour over for Sharon? Does she sit in the hotel room all day long waiting for Vernon? Is he paying her bills? It's dumb.  -- Leslie is an awful human. I don't think she gives a rat's ass about Peaches. She cares more about Eva's sex life.  -- Izaiah and Eva have nice chemistry, but their conversation seemed forced to me. Didn't sound like first date dialogue and was too on the nose.  -- Shanice was great in taking down Leslie. I'm so glad the writing didn't have Leslie land the biggest smackdown. Dr. Wilkes was also great.  -- Again, Leslie is spending like she's worth a bajillion dollars. This has to be written for laughs.  -- I've done a complete turnaround on June. I now think she's a great addition.  -- Martin and Smitty are so concerned that Tyrell learn about Banneker that they call in a guy who started work there this week?

        -- Tyrell is so much more mature than Samantha. I hate the way she treats him and talks about him in front of others.  She really sat there and asked Jessica why she's even with Tyrell. Samantha is pathetic.    Screenshot time: -- If I can get Fish & Fries at Orphey Gene's for $5, why is a glass of juice $4 ? -- That Mr & Mr sign at Martin and Smitty's is beyond lame and tacky.

      So do I. Jack actually treats her like an equal partner. And he’s done far less evil things Nikki has just to ignore including to his own kids than Victor any day.

      This 11/17 episode was extremely lazy and boring. That Adam and Chelsea opening scene was so cringe and out of character for both.  Billy Flynn is being wasted and I was only interested in Claire and Holden.    Every character feels the same with no actual personality.

      Ugh...right? At least if Chris Bernau had been able to continue in the role, it would've been intriguing to watch Alan manipulate Reva.

      Yes, it was. Dinah had started to soften after Henry's heart attack in March. After Paige Turco took over the role, the attitude is turned way, way down. The thing about Vanessa was, she could be very territorial. If Dinah had gone to Lillian (who had befriended Dinah before she knew Vanessa was her mother), that would've stung a bit, but Van probably would've understood. But Dinah getting advice from Ross' new girlfriend would not have sat well with her, the same way Van later bristles anytime Nadine tries to stake some kind of role in Bill's life. @DeeVee  I know it's been brought up before, but I hadn't really connected Long breaking up Ross/Van to the fact that she'd neither created that backstory or been responsible for giving them a love child.  I wonder what she would've done had she been there when Jordan left, and had to break Billy/Van up.

      Well, she just said "ladies" on the show but she didn't specify they were fellow actresses. It could have been some of the women behind the scenes of the show. There was a lot in the interview that wasn't clear to me.

      Now would’ve been a great time to get the next A plot going, versus Bill and Katie and Steffy and Liam rehashing the same BS about Luna we have been hearing for weeks.

      I feel it could benefit from a focus on one of their three A stories or a solid B plot. But right before the turnover from Guza to Thomson, outside of all things Dani...there's nothing too A story-ish going on. Still entertaining for me, but it's noticeable that there is not a main story with other B/C stories going on. It's just...a bunch of stories going on.    I do hope the build to Winterfest and us actually seeing it THIS month will get things moving again.    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
