There is an only a few CBS stations that still air the lineup slightly out of order, with KRQE, KUTV, KIRO and I think the Idaho stations were still out of whack last time looked. Unfortunately I don’t think any station airs Y&R as late as 4 anymore, the last ones that did moved the show to regular timeslot several years ago. 
 

Syndication is very expensive especially during the daytime these days, so it’s interesting that affiliates now crave network programming where as historically we know a lot of them didn’t and would pre-empt some soaps and game shows.

Of course, you're right that if he could, he would try to get on there. I just think that they've got the people they want & I would guess there won't be any more hires. At least not in the first 6 months. I hope this will in some small way, reassure you. I mean, I think if MVJ were going to add anyone it would definitely be Patrick Mulcahey not Jamey.

As much as people hate Jamey, him eventually showing up on Beyond the Gates wouldn't be a shocker. Sheila Ducksworth was EP of Ambitions (which was originally pitched as a daytime soap) and he has history with MVJ. If she decides to hire him I wouldn't be upset about it. They did great work on Ambitions. Days has been dreadful since Jamey joined and he isn't HW so I don't put that on him. Sistas is much better since he took over so between than and Ambitions, I do see a bit of talent there.

It's a new year, and if I have a New Year's Resolution, it's to give certain people second chances.  So, if Jamey Giddens ends up joining the BTG writing staff, then fine.  I hope he'll surprise me (in a good way, lol).

(Ron Carlivati, OTOH, has pretty much lost me for good.  You can't do what he did to Abe Carver and expect me to be at peace with it.)

I am with you here. He has proven he will run a show into the ground. The only reason I don't have a lot of smoke for him on BTG is because I feel like this is just a way for him to get "in" at CBS. I can't see his ego letting him stay in a BW position. I feel like he'll stay here a few months and transfer over to one of the Bell soaps.

      Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.

      OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

      Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.
