But most shows and movies announce casting far in advance. At this point, if they released the cast tomorrow I don't think that would be too soon. 

I will say, one concern I have with them filming in November is that it's going to be a tight turnaround in terms of promo. The show is premiering in January, so they have to hope everything goes right in November so they have stuff to promote with, hopefully starting in December.

The head of CBS said the intention is to treat The Gates like one of their primetime launches. Everything we've seen so far suggests that'll be the case. Errol even posted about a PR firm being hired specifically to promote this show. I don't think they'll be hurting for promotion.

I just put GATES in the title because that makes more sense to me. Not sure how you can abbreviate that like we do for the other soaps, and using the full name makes no sense to me.

Unless the show retitles itself between now and the premiere date, I would think GATES makes the most sense as being the formal title for the show when making topics/threads/posts.

I just did a very quick dive to see how Michele Val Jean is referring to it in Twi/X posts. 

Every time she's doing this: 

#TheGates

Most recent two examples: 

#TheGates are closed today. It’s my birthday!

Today was a big day for #TheGates. Wish I could share more but I needed to at least mark it. If you know, you know

Yes, but that's for social media. We're talking about the SON Community within threads where we don't use hashtags, but abbreviations of each show's title like AMC for All My Children, B&B for The Bold and the Beautiful, SuBe for Sunset Beach or PSNS for Passions.

An abbreviation for The Gates, IMO, doesn't jive with the above format. Therefore, I'm going with GATES unless someone else comes up with a better option.

Agreed. TG reminds me of Tony Geary.

Just to add...

DAYS is the abbreviation for Days of our Lives (although some use DOOL). GATES just has one more letter, so I think it would be fine for The Gates.

For instance, when I release news stories going forward, I plan to use both #TheGates #Gates in my social media posts, even though the latter hashtag might be synonymous with Bill Gates or the Gates Foundation. Hey, more potential eyeballs.

Yes, I believe they did. I think other soap mags at the time did as well. During my online era (1999/2000-present), I've only ever used the full names of the shows or their abbreviations, so BEACH wasn't my thing for that show. Just like PASS wasn't mine for Passions, although it felt like it should have been at times. Haha.

Oh, I see. Yeah, that doesn't work because the only thing it could be would be TG & that won't work at all because of Tony Geary. As it is we have SB, SaBa, SuBe & BEACH & that's all because both Santa Barbara & Sunset Beach would prefer being "SB" & they can't both be. Alternately, people do PSSN, PSSNS, PSNS & some fans of that show, say, NO, spell it out. They are quite sure they do not like ANY of the 3-5 letter abbreviations, possible for it. 

I'm sure I will go with whatever the big dogs under whatever porch I happen to be at, are using. You're the big dog here, so GATES it is!!

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
