@YRfan23 For whatever reason the First Round is starting Friday and not Thursday, and this year is the first year that the Second Round games are happening Monday during the day. I got the dates from NCAA Tournament 2021: March Madness TV schedule, tipoff times and Selection Sunday announced - CBSSports.com

 

Will they preempt both Y&R and B&B this year like they usually do, or is it just Y&R this year?

 

@janea4old Both Y&R and B&B get a March Madness break.

Mishael Morgan lowered her stock value not wanting to come back as Hilary. I haven't cared about anything going on with Amanda long enough to sit through more than a few weeks before tuning out again

Thank you. I am glad I am not the only one who feels that way.
Not only that Amanda is meh but how our opinion on MM changed.

I think she’s done good work as Amanda, but yeah, it’s a fail. And the show decided to sideline the one character who finally made her spark: her sister Imani. This show dangles promising developments and rips them away.

Hilarious that this show is hyping up this Adam/Victoria/Billy stuff like it’s the most intriguing story ever. The stakes are just not there.

If this was Brooks Prentis coming back to town as a wealthy businessman I would care more.

She probably said this because she likely got sick of those annoying fans of the show tagging her in tweets complaining about her character. Soap fans' behavior can really be embarrassing sometimes.

It’s funny: as bad as the other network soaps are, I can single out several performances in recent months on GH and DAYS that have impressed me. Today, William Lipton, Kin Shriner, and Rebecca Herbst rocked it on GH. 
 

I cannot say that for the CBS soaps. Maaaybe Mishael when Amanda confronted her mom, but that’s it. But GH and DAYS give their actors opportunities to show their stuff, even if the material isn’t spectacular.

I predict that Ashland will sell his company whose name I can’t spell or pronounce to Chance Comm. The fact that the Newmans are bidding against each other does not inspire confidence.  It's a red flag that suggests discord or in-fighting.  This divisiveness just makes their family and Newman Enterprises look unstable.

When did Mishael say she didn't want to come back as Hilary? I'm fairly certain who she is playing isn't her choice. 

 

Everything is a dud right now. The writing is not exciting cause nothing is happening. Even when something does occur, it's written in the least dramatic way. 

 

What I'm finding surprising is how fans have turned on Mishael because the show chose not to resurrect Hilary when bringing her back. It seems there's nothing Mishael can do acting wise to win fans over now. I truly feel bad for her.

She said it in interviews when she came back that she left because she wanted to feel challenged and playing the same character for five years was enough and that her interest in coming back came only because they offered her to play someone different.

Mishael is spinning. We all know she left over a contract dispute. It had nothing to do with her wanting to move on from Hilary. Had Sony paid her, she'd be playing Hilary right now and happy to do so.

Turning on her is a bit exagerated. She is still a great actress. It is just that Amanda doesn't do it for us and it was her choice to leave in the first place.

The fact one of the major executives can't be bothered to comb her hair before going to work would not inspire confidence to me either. The fact all those executives are related to each other and there is no outside blood would also be concerning if this was a real business situation.

Her choice to leave? That's relative I suppose. She left over a contract dispute like others have before her. But, the show didn't kill their very popular characters out of spite.
