What would surprise me? 

Y&R : Mary Jo returning amid all this Keemo and Diane history re-hash. 

-Heather Tom returning as Victoria since they undid the Phyliss recast

-Drucilla returning since CBS seems to be bringing back blasts from the past

-Sheila crossing over and facing Lauren again since she's run her course over supposedly killing Finn on B&B

DAYS getting cancelled 

B&B

- Susan Flannery making a guest appearance as Stephanie's ghost

If Days would get cancelled it it’s not possible coz it was renewed until 2023. Not that I want Days gone but that show just stinks right now!

if Anthony Geary would return to GH again!

Ron finally getting fired from the soap world. I never hated a guy as much as him. He was crap on Oltl and he was even worse on GH. But he outdone himself on Days to become even worse than before. Just kill his career already ffs

Not saying Ron is great, but who would be a good replacement.  Y&R also needs a new writer like yesterday.  The two shows should just swap HWs

I'm still surprised they never thought of revisiting the Mary Jo plot or give her a grown kid to stir up stuff.

@Dylan & @DramatistDreamer

My thought was not based on the platform but the sponsorship.  Scroll through tiktok, youtube, and instagram and a huge proportion of the content is sponsored by direct-to-consumer brands.  Given that daytime dramas were built on their ability to sell cleaning products, it stands to reason that some company would seek to use the same model to produce long form daily content.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, but after all of these failed talk shows, perhaps there will be space for new creative opportunities.

I would still love a new soap. Even if it's an amalgam of OLTL and AMC. I'm a die hard soap fan, so I would be into it. I mean with what they're paying everyone at The Today Show for all 12 hours, they could probably produce at least 3!

    • 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.
    • -- The fact that we know the mess that Billy made when he renovated the Chancellor place makes his entire sadsack attitude pathetic. I wanted someone to smack the hell out of him. -- And why did Diane care so much about Billy's opinion beyond hearing he liked it better before? Why continue pressing him on it? Josh Griffith clearly thinks this is a storyline, and it isn't. It never was. -- So Mariah cheated on Tessa offscreen. OF COURSE it was offscreen. Then we got this ridiculous, convoluted explanation of why she cheated, ending in her announcement that she doesn't have any character at all. GMAFB.  -- Now we'll get the cliche garbage of Mariah confessing to Tessa, who turns to Daniel for sex even though she's a lesbian. (Please spare me the comment that Tessa is bi.) -- The excuse for Summer leaving town? Also pathetic. Why in the hell would she have to leave town to find a new creative director for Marchetti?
    • I vaguely recall it surfaced on either TNT or TBS around 1993 or so but I could be wrong about the channel. By 1997 when this article was written Knots was still airing on TNT, Dallas was on the old TNN network (which today is Paramount), and Dynasty was on…well I don’t even recall now but feel like it was either E!  or Bravo. TNN ran Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas together in the evenings for years surprised they didn’t just pick up FC to resurrect the trifecta.
