Members Liberty City Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 I AM SHOOK WIGLESS!!! Never, in 2024, did I expect a brand-new DAYTIME soap to be in-development, especially at CBS. And with Michele Val Jean as showrunner and head writer?! Wowza!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members te. Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 That was for prime time and they still have budget there to order scripts only to have them gathering dust. Ordering for daytime hasn't happened since... uh, when was the last time it was seriously even talked about to launch a new daytime soap? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 Gotta support this soap to have any chance/hope to see the classic P&G soaps back on TV or on streaming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 I will just say again for whoever definitely isn't listening that not only is GL a timeless brand IMO but AMC and OLTL would still murder at 30 mins each back to back, in arc-based seasonal periods on streaming if necessary (ironically, what Gottlieb pitched 30+ years ago). That's it, that's the post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MichaelGL Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 I seriously had to make sure what todays date was bc it felt like it was April Fools joke. Way to go CBS Daytime!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 Yeah, it's insane. Almost as insane as P&G coming back in when we know they were starting to starve and offload the soaps for years before they actually began killing them off. I've always felt it was a horrible sin not only to lose the last of the New York soaps and that wealth of rich BTS history, on-air talent and employment potential (don’t get me started on how I’ve bored young actors I know in NY with this), but also how P&G abandoned their soaps slowly after their being an institution unto themselves in them and a seal of quality for so many decades. Wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 So could this lead to us getting ATWT, GL, P&G owned soaps in some kind of streaming??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 I am in total shock. This is such amazing news that I didn't think I'd ever see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 6 Members Share Posted March 6 I think that's a big assumption for right now and not immediately likely. But P&G being back allows us to imagine a little. I did think last year during the strikes and beginning of the streaming crash that soaps and their income might start looking more appealing again to the industry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
