There still hasn't been an official statement from CBS or Carrie Ann either way (though the longer she's out, the less likely her coming back is). Personally,I think CBS should do a complete rehaul of the format and set...and change the show's title. Once they decided to add a man full-time, it was no longer The Talk as it always was.

Just announced: she’s leaving. Lame that it was announced on a Friday night like a political scandal, but CAI probably just wants to put this show behind her.


JMHO a co-ed panel is a smart move when there are so many View clones on daytime TV (and Kelly and Ryan is a great example of a female-male duo being successful—I think people like having the interplay of both genders represented and there are so many conversations on these shows where the absence of a male perspective is strongly felt). I just don’t have much faith in this particular show and these particular people.

That was probably the most anticlimactic, non-surprising announcement ever. Did anyone not see this coming?

 It's a shame, really, because she did bring a lot of sunshine in those first couple of years. Through her, I learned more about autoimmune diseases. I both cried for her and cheered for her as she shared her story of overcoming sexual abuse. She and Sheryl seemed to have a real bond (and I'm sorry that things seemed to turn sour between them). Anyway, I wish Carrie Ann well as she turns the page on this show.

As far as co-ed panels go, I like Daily Blast Live a lot. Their set looks more like a newsroom, and they have many enlightening discussions on current events. As far as The Talk goes, they have replaced hosts every year since 2017. In just the past 12 months, they've had to make four host changes (Marie, Eve, Sharon and now Carrie Ann. This show is gutted.

Wow, and they really focused a lot of attention on Elaine (whom I increasingly found an iffy fit for this particular format). The new Project Runway season is coming soon.

CBS is a shitshow with a few exceptions (like The Equalizer).

I've known about Elaine before she became nationally relevant and I felt like that EIC job at Teen Vogue was a sinking ship that she kept it  afloat iand then some. She successfully transition Teen Vogue when cease print publication due to declining sales to a high traffic social media machine.

Akbar Gbajabiamila, who co-hosts American Ninja Warrior, has been named a new co-host of The Talk. I actually like Akbar a lot, but not enough to tune in:

I just hope Sheryl can keep her cool:

    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. I would think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
    • Tessa clarified a few years ago that she is gay and not bi.   I find it offensive that the show is teasing her with Daniel. Mariah told Sharon she went emotionally/mentally to a dark place, and while she was out of town on business she got drunk and did something bad.  But Mariah didn't say she cheated.  The show wants us to assume that, but she didn't say that.  She could have taken drugs or who knows what.  All we know is that she feels shame and doesn't want Tessa to know.  Mariah says the inner darkness is due to the longterm influence of Ian in the past, and she hasn't healed from that. With a *good* writer, we could have organic conflict in the Teriah marriage, without cheating.  But JG isn't a good writer.  
    • Was that before his accident? I think it was. Most of us have never seen him before it happened.
    • I wonder if Falcon Crest wasn't seen as macho enough for them.  I first saw Dynasty on FX around 1994 or 1995. I think it ran for a few years, although I may be off as I moved and lost the channel for a while.
