He did state he's happy working at General Hospital or anywhere he's wanted, but I don't see him ditching the role of Kevin unless he got a series regular with Val Jean at The Gates.

He seems happy to be recurring on GH so it frees him up to do other projects

Frankly, I'm not convinced that "The Gates" isn't just a working title.

Same, as it seems like a fairly generic title. In one of my earliest posts, I wrote it as “The Gates” but then got lazy and subsequently left the tile out of quotation marks but I was thinking it was a working tile.

It would be justice for the killing of World Turns.

A soap replacing the talk show that replaced a soap, that's karma lol

It would make sense for The Talk to get cancelled. The show has always struggled to find its voice and a dedicated audience. TPIS and LMAD are cheap moneymakers with reliable ratings, so they aren't going there. So, IF The Talk is cancelled and replaced by this new show, I REALLY hope CBS places it right after Y&R and then airs B&B after The Gates. The new show deserves a timeslot that would give it the best shot, and Y&R has such a huge AA audience even though you wouldn't know it since they utilize their black cast.

Yeah sandwiching it between YR & BOLD makes more sense, especially given YR is the higher rated of the two, IMO it following BOLD might work against it

And how ominous that the lights went out in today's episode of The Talk. 

They also started with a weird commercial two screen split while the small screen had the talk with visual only.

I would be interested in see what that looks like visually. Of course, not interested enough to watch the actual show.

My fear, though, is that B&B's ratings might suffer without the Y&R lead-in.

Somehow I doubt that they have any basis for saying it looks like it will be an hour. If they had basis, why didn't they say what it was?

They always do the split screen

Then maybe Bell will wake up and realize his "safety net" is gone and actually make an effort lol

I can respect that because you said "I think". Great, an opinion! I happen to share it. I thought in the article they were implying some knowledge. Am I being too tough on them?
