I wonder how they square that with how terrible their two current soaps look. I'm not even talking about the (lack of) stories, just the overall cringe factor when you turn them on. It would be hard for TG to have that blandness as a lead in and/or would be a disappointment for fans of the rest of CBS soaps if TG has a slicker look (which I expect at least at the beginning).

Thanks Errol, this sounds reassuring coming from you. This sounds good, as long as The Gates is the priority in this and CBS as co-producer, I would think will prioritize this new show in marketing and promotion and the other shows will benefit from the effects.

Hopefully MVJ, Sheila Ducksworth and any stars of the forthcoming cast will make appearances on BET, Comedy Central, and the YouTube channels of THR and Variety to get the word out, really expand the reach beyond the usual platforms. Do an interview on Shondaland and Oprah Daily.

Some people might be skeptical of CBS pulling a Fox or WB, and I do admit this has crossed my mind but I am willing to suspend those thoughts and watch the process unfold, and just hope everything is being done for the benefit of The Gates.

@Errol  you were offline in April when I posted this, but back on page 49 of this thread, I asked about doing sports cross-promotions with CBS -- regarding soccer being scheduled to disrupt soaps shortly after The Gates debuts.
(Link to my detailed post) 
Is there any way to get that proactively coordinated?  That would really help.

I mean, if you have a way to talk directly with CBS about that.

Not what you asked but she wrote the Best Catfight on Generations.

Also not what you asked, but at GH she famously wrote the revisitation of Luke raping Laura, L&L2 & their reaction to Liz's stranger rape, and she even touched on Rachel's rape. 

STILL not answering your questions but I did find more of what she wrote while at GH. Most of Kevin/Ryan, made Lucy & Kevin a couple, made Lucky & Liz a couple ...

Took me a minute to find your April post as it was on page 50 and not page 49, but I found it.

I think it all depends on what time The Gates is set to air. Just because The Talk was canceled does not automatically mean The Gates will air in its place. I still say there is a high chance it could air immediately after Y&R. We shall see, but I will inquire as requested.
