More than 45 years since it was first published, Creators Syndicate has decided to stop distributing the weekly column “Lynda Hirsch on Television” (aka “Lynda Hirsch on Soaps”) written by columnist Lynda Hirsch. The news was made by Hirsch herself in her final column released by the distributor on Saturday, April 29, 2023.

“I am crushed,” began Hirsch before revealing she’ll be forging ahead by starting a blog on Medium, a new digital publishing company where journalists, experts, and individuals with unique perspectives share their thinking. “Medium is free and offers a plethora of columns — writers on books they love, filmmakers giving behind-the-scenes tidbits, etc. My blog will be ‘Lynda Hirsch on Entertainment.’ I am excited as I can cover TV, film, books, true crime, etc. Instead of weekly summaries, I will be doing daily takes.”

Comparing the past with the future, Hirsch says that she was “pretty perfunctory” in her column. Meanwhile, by publishing daily, she can “offer eye roles” in her work. “What the heck, who choose that outfit? What the writers got wrong and right. Snark is so fun,” Hirsch teases of what to expect from her going forward.

    • Hahaha. It was worth a try. Alas. 
    • There were lots of spoiler pics for week of May 5-9 of Devon/Lily/Holden/Damian/Amy/Nate/Audra. I posted them on the spoiler thread that week because they all looked so pretty. I was hopeful.  Sorry to read in the recaps that it was mostly discussion of Dumas!
    • Random Hump Day Reactions Despite my better judgment about commenting on appearances—what is going on with Philip’s skin? He looks distractingly sunburned. Did the makeup team forget to use foundation? Or powder? Or that they’re broadcasting in high definition? Meanwhile, Kristen looked like the saddest Alice in Wonderland. The dirndl was cute, but everyone in that mansion could desperately use a pop of primary color—and a reason to smile. It’s one thing for Belle to be blinded by love for EJ. It’s another for her to hear him admit to kidnapping Rachel and treat it like a punchline. There's zero urgency from anyone about getting Rachel or Kat back to Salem. Kristen and Cat seem to forget their long-lost mothers are still being held elsewhere against their will. At least when Doc, Kayla, and Kate went missing, people cared. Paulina even talked to that urn! (Still waiting to find out who was in the urn, by the way…) Raise your hand if you believe Rachel innocently brought up Tate’s baby. If your hand is up, do not click on any suspicious email links today. You’re vulnerable. And finally, deep breaths: Jamey—or someone he edits—named the miracle drug Versavix. Fun fact: real drug names are developed by branding teams after the research is done. Versavix sounds like the draft name someone scribbled during a Red Bull crash and forgot to replace. This isn’t even a good fake drug name. It’s like they forgot that the same show once gave us a literal ‘love potion’ that made Sami fall for Austin. Versavix makes me nostalgic for the days of ‘L-dopa’ and Stefano’s mind control chips, at least they didn’t sound like a discontinued allergy medication. (crud, another day, another broken promise to stop complaining about this).
    • Brandon said that a couple of months ago, and MVJ replied in agreement.  I'm intrigued.
    • So many of the problems stem from there being one main family. As a result, Vernon and Anita don't have contemporaries to interact with which leaves them primarily as talk-to's. If and when they bring on her bandmates, it would benefit them to establish at least one as a main character with a family. If they ever brought on Jacob's mom, she could be another person that Anita could regularly interact with.
    • And in the Oct. 25, 1985, episode, a pre-fame Tony Shalhoub.
