OJ strikes again in daytime. Due to the media circus, our favorite soaps will once again be affected. I mentioned this in the DAYS thread that this could likely mean Day 2 of Ron C could be potentially moved to Friday. 

 

Another link details the coverage from the different TV Networks following it.

 

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/tv/tv-guy/os-et-oj-simpson-tv-covers-parole-hearing-20170719-story.html

 

The TL;DR for the 3 Networks:

 

NBC: Cutting into programming at 1pm with NBC News Special Report. DAYS preempted

 

ABC: Same as NBC. GH possibly affected 

 

CBS (Edit): CBS is cutting into programming for a Special Report. 2nd half of Y&R/B&B affected. Judging by the hearing, The Talk will likely air as scheduled 

 

How do you feel about OJ preempting Daytime again years later? Do you agree with NBC or ABC cutting into their schedules to cover the parole hearing, or feel like they should've followed CBS and just broke in when they needed to?

ESPN is the driver behind this and then the networks wanted a piece and they have been promoting it constantly for a week. Kind of like CBS constantly cutting for 'urgent' Trump news that's covered on 10 cable stations. The networks are clueless - if we wanted to watch these so-called 'events,' viewers have plenty of options. Guess I better set POP for Y&R/B&B.

I said the same thing on the Politics thread and people got mad awhile back.  Whatever hearings were going on and I said - if I want to watch them there are 80 other stations to watch the hearings on.  There is no commentary from reporters really it's just questions and answers in front of whatever committee or congress.  Nothing is added by ABC, NBC, or CBS for me to specifically want to watch THAT network for a HEARING.  We tune into our programs, not CBS because they have the same hearing on as 80 other stations. 

 

I thought the same thing about this stupid OJ mess - I didn't watch 5 minutes of his trial the first time around. But I stopped tuning into soaps and whoever said - you're right - it was never the same after that.  I got out of the habit.  I did eventually go back but it wasn't the same.

 

I've also never heard this but I've wondered why - another factor especially for Guiding Light and As the World Turns was Hurricane Katrina.  New Orleans and the surrounding area - up until the late 90's and early 2000's - Guiding Light and As the World Turns were around #2 and #3 - Guiding Light used to be #1 in that viewership area....but up until the early 2000s was the last time I saw regional ratings reports, and in New Orleans they were still around #2 and #3 each week, sometimes #1.  That is likely thousands upon thousands of people who never went back to watching their shows....some people left and never came back, and when people did come back they had other things to worry about.  I thought of that again when GL did their community service thing during the "Find Your Light" campaign and went to New Orleans for rebuilding projects.  I remember thinking - yeah, that's not a coincidence either....maybe they would have done it anyway, but they knew that area was also a stronghold for them in ratings and they were likely never coming back.

      That second screengrab is just begging to be taken out of context.

      You make a good point. I just reached for something, unfortunately more & more common & the meds are good & most people have a long honeymoon before any decline. The most obvious thing would be an impending heart attack. That could be played by an immediate crisis followed by fairly ordinary time.

      I doubt they're going to give Bill Parkinson's considering that it would be something he would have to live with and gradually decline. It'll likely be something they can sweep under the rug eventually (though it wouldn't surprise me if they pull the misdiagnosis trick between then).

      Odds more likely Parkinsons. Hand tremor is one of the first symptoms, often. Actually it could be any number of neurological issues. Not all are Parkinsons. I think I already posted about Dani's laser focus on her girl. But in case not, this goes double for me! Totally love & also appreciate scenes like these Dani scenes. Showing some layers, she is! Whether its with her sister or her daughter, as long as the subject is family, Dani is down.

      5-21   Have I said how much I like Jacob and Naomi? As the first in-bed couple from Episode 1...and a good guy/good girl couple, I do love seeing their development. Together. And separate. So doing my rewatch, it's great to see them together one moment and making their lives work. And then the next minute, they are off in other stories. I liked the Naomi/Derek scenes. Meanwhile DETECTIVE Jacob is involved in the SilkPress storyline due to Veronica Mars aka Kat on her and Eva's case.    Dani, Dani, Dani. I thought it was a good episode to show her different sides. The outrageous Dani who would kiss her friend in public...and figuratively blow Bill's head off. And then...there's Mama Dani with Chelesa. She is always going to be divisive, ain't she? Sidenote...good to see a bit of sass from Pamela on Vanessa. It's clear they don't like each other. I do wonder if that will turn into a C plot.    Speaking of C plots...well...I still can't believe how invested I have been in the Derek/Ashley mess. And another element in it that I liked this episode was how it was affecting Dani/Andre. Heck, they were all in the montage at the end.   And another speaking of C plots, Bill and that hand. smh. I didn't care for all the Bill/Hayley time, but that hand shake continued. I do wonder where that is going to go. MS perhaps? I believe in rare cases that it can happen to men, but I am probably wrong. Still...a chance to educate.    I loved the Dani/Chelesa scene for sure. I'm sorry that things did not work out for Chels and the girl. But it was nice to see that in the spotlight and something just different for soaps. And it led to such a great talk with Dani.    Mmmmm at the SilkPress/Eva scenes. It was such a visual version of what Eva and Tomas just talked about in the last episode with parents. And SilkPress admitting what she did. I totally missed it the first time around. I live for their scenes regardless. Though I'm starting to think (and the synopsis for this coming week doesn't help), that this A story is about to shift into more of a B story status to focus on the other A stories (Martin's secret and another round of Dani/Bill/Hayley).

      It really is too bad that Will/Sonny/Paul/ Andrew aren’t full time. John’s death could’ve led to so many storylines for them.

      I had to think about how Tate is related to everyone. First:  major storylines of John and Bo. Tate is obviously grandson of John via Brady Black. Tate is twice-connected to Bo: Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Isabella. Bo is Tate's great-uncle via Kimberly. Tate is separately related to Pandrew: Andrew is Tate's uncle on the Donovan-Brady side. Paul is Tate's uncle on the Black side. Connections to young people in town: Via Kimberly and Roman, Tate is related to Johnny and Will. Will is Ari's father, so Tate is related to Arianna via Will. Via Isabella and Justin, Tate is related to Sonny. Sonny is Ari's third parent, so Tate is connected to Ari via Sonny. I started to diagram out second cousins, third cousins, half-cousins, half-uncles, "once-removed", etc, and then stopped myself, LOL. What matters is that they are extended family to one another.
