Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 7 Members Share Posted March 7 Things can and will change from a pitch to development and preproduction, let alone the production process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted March 7 Members Share Posted March 7 (edited) This is tremendous news for our favorite genre! I saw it on Facebook earlier, but I have to say, coming here and seeing a big red breaking news banner at the top of of the page warmed my heart. Never in a million years did any of us think we'd see a new daytime drama again, and here we are. P&G's involvement gives me hope that we will see (at least) GL and ATWT given the post-mortem respect they deserve. I don't see them ever being revived, but I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong. I'd be satisfied with more official releases (preferably DVD but streaming is fine) and some merch. Fingers crossed that this comes to fruition and gives us everything we've been wanting. Definitely looking forward to tons of speculation about various aspects of the show with all of the great soap minds we have here on SON! For example, the format and timeslot. I can't see it being a full hour, and AFAIC, Let's Make a Deal has never had any business being a 60-minute show. Cut that back to thirty minutes, slot The Gates at thirty minutes, and somehow find a way to pair it with Y&R. The TPIR/Y&R combo (whether back to back or with the news in between) has been an institution for decades now, but in order for this show to succeed, it has to feed off of Y&R.

Webmaster Errol Posted March 7 Author Webmaster Share Posted March 7 I meant to do a story on this awhile ago, but Martha Byrne and Lauralee Bell are also developing a new soap opera together as well. Lauralee mentioned it to me on the Emmys red carpet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted March 7 Author Webmaster Share Posted March 7 That's why I never got around to doing a story on it. Just that detail. Nothing further. Not on the record at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted March 7 Members Share Posted March 7 From 1 to 2 and can the Talk lol Honestly there's no way they're going to cut LMAD or another show in half for this. I'd be shocked if they did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted March 7 Members Share Posted March 7 I've been spending the last few minutes trying to think of a recognizable, not currently active, preferably with some history on CBS, game show that could be revived and run in any spare 30-minute timeslot. Concentration? The Joker's Wild? Tic-Tac-Dough? Sale of the Century? Scrabble? I'd personally love to see a Tattletales or Hollywood Squares revival, but who do you get as stars in this day and age? Also, some shows were already revived too recently (To Tell the Truth, Match Game, Card Sharks). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted March 7 Members Share Posted March 7 Yeah LMAD is doing well for CBS. The easiest thing to do is cut low bottom of barrel performing The Talk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
