Ming Na Wen was on this week and they didn't even mention her time on ATWT. I loathe The Talk!!

[Errol]

It was so long ago I'm not surprised. Not to mention ATWT has been off the air for over 10 years. If it were Y&R/B&B, which are still on the air, then I'd understand.

[Soapsuds]

Yet they mentioned her time on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

Ouch, and Ming has always been so open about her time on ATWT. She did a reunion livestream last year and for the Mulan anniversary and live action movie, she even mentioned how both she and Lea Salonga (the singing voice of Mulan in the animated movie) both played the role of Lien Truong. The Talk is so disrespectful, lol, they don't do their research. 

[Soapsuds]

I actually think they did it on purpose in not talking about ATWT.

That's odd. I've always seen The Talk as being unusually eager to bring up soaps past on the show, often via Sheryl. Maybe it's a P&G thing.

[Errol]

Not defending the show but I still understand mentioning Mr. Roger's Neighborhood over As The World Turns.

[DramatistDreamer]

It wouldn't surprise me. They may feel that it serves as a reminder that they are the show that replaced ATWT. Years ago, I got the impression that they were trying to court former ATWT fans but at this point, after multiple scandals to which some fans have asked "They replaced my soap for this?!", The Talk may decide not to bother anymore.

I find myself saying this very thing every time I accidently land on this when it is on!

The viewers who are already watching, watch, it's unlikely that they will substantially expand their audience at this point, let alone convert any former ATWT fans, so I think, at this point, they're just trying to maintain what viewers they do have, similar to the rest of daytime.

If only P&G would follow the Bells and allow uploads of ATWT onto a dedicated YouTube page. Between the years when they had the AOL portal and when the SoapClassics people digitized all those episodes for DVDs and streaming on their sites, P&G likely has many episodes (although I would just start with the 1980s) and they could just do analog with the rest, similar to B&B.
