Okay, so I’m stuck in traffic as my usual 30 minute commute turned into a 50 commute with heavy and while I had a minute I scrolled at my Facebook and the news and I totally thought it was fake lol.

That said, now that I’m home, WOW!!!!!! I was totally not expecting this here in 2024 at all, especially on the heels of Y&R’s renewal. I’m shocked especially that P&G is also involved. 
 

While I see I‘ve got 9 pages to read up on and share my deeper thoughts later I’ll just say if it replaces The Talk I would relish the irony of that. 
 

I really sincerely hope this comes to pass and succeeds.

And here just a couple weeks ago before Y&R’s renewal I was wondering in 2024 was going to be the end of CBS soaps.

Airing it after Y&R, which has a very sizable AA audience, would be the smart thing. If the show's an hour, just air B&B after it.

Although, I think a half-hour soap would be a smart idea in this day and age. Maybe air it after Y&R, B&B after The Gates, and then fill the next half hour with a new talk show.

I do think it's possible P&G properties could be revived at some point in the future, especially given the state of the industry. I've always said EON and GL were the most viable of that stable. But I think that's getting way ahead of things. First this show actually has to be greenlit for production and turn up on the network, and then succeed. Still, it's a nice pipe dream if like me you are extrapolating on recent trends.

As the show is only in development, everything relating to casting, location, length, etc, is currently being discussed behind the scenes. One thing is for sure: soaps take longer to get off the ground, but with the way things are done in daytime and TV in general these days, it's possible this show could be up and running as early as October. Or it could debut as late as fall 2025. We'll see. Either way, the way it was announced and what I know about the way it was announced, I would doubt it doesn't get a full series pickup. Especially with all parties involved. As noted by another poster, P&G isn't getting back into the soap game, especially with such an acclaimed writer as Michele Val Jean, to produce shit. So, I'm going on a limb and say this gets ordered.

MVJ is the MVP of daytime soaps, soap operas, and daytime dramas. Tell me otherwise, and I'll slap you! Haha.

Amazing news!!  Definitely shocked by this.  Never thought we'd see a broadcast network develop a new daytime soap!   When I read MVJ was going to be the HW/Showrunner, I was initially a little bit disappointed that she won't be back at GH, but that feeling went a away quickly because she is the perfect choice for this new project - she has the experience and skill.   If I was CBS, I would put it behind Y&R because it's a show you own and you'd want to give it the best show to succeed.   P&G coming back from the dead is also a shocker.  LOL

      I was the Beyond the Gates Facebook page and they are speculating about Mike Manning's and Brandon Claybon's real life sexual preferences. I have to sit back and laugh out loud at the pure ignorance. Supposedly, Brandon Claybon is reluctant to kiss Mike Manning because he's married to a woman.

      Jill’s evolution (or devolution?) is interesting. I didn’t even realize she made a couple innocuous appearances as early as the latter half of Season 6. I probably need to do a more thorough rewatch because tangled web Peter weaved sometimes left me so confused and still does…like Gary knowing about Jill being Peter’s sister and all the lies but everyone else acted so oblivious. Obviously the two things that set Jill off the deep end; First was Abby’s threat “The first Mrs Ewing never goes away” and second was seeing Greg use the urn of Peter’s ashes being uses a set decoration/paper weight which she of course stole.

      That was my thought as well.  I realize Cameron Faulkner always came across as controlling and manipulative, but good lord.  They made him do everything short of killing a puppy on his way out, lol.

      According to reports, dating to the original report by The Sun, Ben Mitchell was at the top of the list for Ben Wadley to return to the canvas and wanted to give Max Bowden a second chance at the role. Daily Mirror and Radio Times, among others, are further reporting on the return, so I suspect this brief return is going to test some waters. I'm probably in the minority, but I liked Bowden as Ben and hope to see him further excel in the role this time around. Digital Spy is now reporting Bowden's return as Ben Mitchell.

      I don’t think they had to recast Charley. My impression at the time was that they didn’t feel Jo Anderson didn’t fit the perky/cute persona that they wanted/needed when Julianne Phillips left the show.

      Can anyone suggest a good software program (for Mac) to backend rip? The episodes on ShoutTV seem far superior quality than YouTube. Thanks so much.  https://watch.shout-tv.com/series/3103

      GH: Classic Thread

      By MissPalmer · Posted

      Thank you Paul! Recently, I have been reading the stories from 1965....the kidnapping of little Jessie by her real parents, the trial that was held, dr Noel and Brooke...and Meg.... 60 years now!!!! I have been searching the 1965 Thanksgiving episode that I think it exists in Youtube, without any luck....does anyone know if this episode exists or it is simple a trick of my mind...it must be so powerful see it!!! The other scene from 1965 is Steve and Audrey's wedding in February 1965!  I wish we can see these classic episodes in streaming one day ... Most of these actors must be dead, I hope we as fans don't die meanwhile we are waiting for this day!
