Well, they did work together on "Ambitions," so I'd consider it a foregone conclusion.

As much as I’d love to see him off of Days…

God No. 

This guy isn’t even fit to write parking tickets, let alone a soap 😂

There is so much diverse talent out there just waiting for a chance on a show like this. BTS and in front of the camera.

There is no point in creating a new soap unless they plan to be as modern and groundbreaking as they used to be in the days of Nixon. And I don’t mean ignoring the traditions of the genre. I mean taking a real risk again with story and characters, not just treading water with the most generic storytelling to least offend.

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

MVJ deserves this moment, possibly more than anyone else in daytime right now. She's paid her dues, and was never ever given a fair chance when she was promoted to HW at GH. She's written standout scripts for both GH and B&B, she's contributed to SL's even when she wasn't the HW, and spent years slugging it for people like Sally Sussman Morina, Pamela K. Long, the Labine's, Guza, and finally Brad Bell. She's as talented, if not more, than those whose work she often uplifted. This is her chance and I hope this succeeds and she's given the creative freedom and respect she deserves.

Jamey Giddens' first move would probably be to add a Greg Rikaart/Leo-like character.

HARD PASS.

And rip off scenes from Dynasty that are much cheaper and tacky.

CBS has been very conservative in daytime so this seems like a shift in philosophy.

They have a traditionally older audience who they seem to cater for eg the soft pedalling/back burner of the lesbian couple of Y&R and rejection of any story that deals with current issues. Maybe alot of that is Sony also.

Getting affiliates on board and making the show profitable would the major issues beyond the content of the show itself.

How about a 1 or 2 week nightime launch in Summer before moving to daytime?

Let's not make this lovely news a thread about how much people hate Jamey Giddens. I'm not going to fault MVJ for her friendships, I'm just thrilled she may be getting a new diverse soap on air.

Thank you, @Vee!  I didn't exactly think this thread would turn into that, but I'd be more stupid than usual if I didn't know about his reputation here.
