Coverage of the solar eclipse Monday April 8 might affect the soaps.

At this time, it looks like GH will be fully preempted Monday April 8 for the eclipse.


Y&R and B&B are still showing as airing Monday April 8th in some TV listings.
Some listings for specific cities show one or both soaps at a slightly adjusted time, shifted to before or after the eclipse.
In some areas, coverage of the eclipse might preempt one or both CBS soaps,
especially in Central and Mountain timezones?  In which case, watch online.
Hopefully CBS or the individual soaps will clarify soon!


Be prepared to set your recording devices to record manually for week of April 8th.

  • Monday April 8 might have eclipse disruptions on CBS in some areas.
     
  • Tuesday April 9 and Wednesday April 10 on CBS will have
    soccer disruptions in Mountain/Pacific/Alaska/Hawaii timezones.
    More details on the soccer thread at this comment:

The Talk will be fully preempted nationally Monday April 8 for the eclipse.
The Talk will be fully preempted nationally Tues April 9 and Wed April 10 for European soccer.
The Talk's press release confirms this:

I swear, this eclipse has the best PR agent on the planet.

Firstly, it doesn't seem that rare, given that we can all recall a certain former president staring directly into the sun for an eclipse in 2017.

Second, what are they going to use to visualize the experience on TV?  An area going dark and then light; big whoop. 

I am old enough to recall the total eclipse in 1979.  GMA went outside for one segment, showed it getting dark, and that was it.  The planned multi-hour coverage doesn't seem warranted for the event.  I think they have overestimated the appeal.

The path of eclipse totality is diagonally across the USA and Mexico. 
But a great deal of North and Central America (from Panama to Canada) will have at least a partial eclipse.   And it's in the middle of the day.

Beginning with Tahiti and Hawaii as the sun is rising.
Ending across the Atlantic to Ireland, Scotland, and the Canary Islands just as the sun is setting.

This map shows the path (narrow band) of the totality. But it's interactive in that  you can click anywhere on the map to find out the percentage of the sun that will be obscured in your area:

I experienced the 2017 eclipse. It doesn't seem like it has been seven years. I truly enjoyed the experience. Going from daylight to total darkness and back to sunlight in just minutes was great to be part of.

Now going from a state to another and camp overnight to experience the eclipse is a bit much.

The eclipse on Monday won't hit us directly as the 2017 one but it will be interesting to see anyways.

      I remember another Phyllis residence -- I don't think that was a set shown abovethread, but I'm not sure.  Trying to remember some things off the top of my head but I might be wrong about part of it: I'm referring to the condo where Phick first had sex after the Michael/Lauren wedding.  I think they specifically referred to it as a condo?  After Stafford's Phyllis went into a coma, Jack sold it and I think he gave money to HunterKing's Summer when she married Austin? Or he gave Summer the condo?    There was a convoluted side plot about someone needing money and something from this was drawn in a shady way.  Something about it being sold?  And then when GinaT's Phyllis awoke from her coma, she had no condo to come back to.

      Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.

      The casino scenes came out of nowhere in comparison to the rest of the week, but at least there was some movement in the storyline. Joey has really made a fool of Vanessa. Chelsea is really embarrassing herself with this doctor. The desperation is so obvious and she clearly gets that from Dani. Hayley was giving Donna Logan vibes because that is how Donna acted when Eric had a heart attack. Stealing potential evidence is not going to reflect well on Kat and might throw the case against Leslie. Tomas had no business in Eva's hotel room even if he did shut down her advances. But I think they still might end up together at some point because the book that Eva gave him is the same one Kat called basic which seemed like foreshadowing.

      So Sharon decides not to go to France and stay behind to support Mariah, but now with Phyllis gloating about getting an invite I’m sure she’ll change her mind.    Mariah’s secret is that she screwed that old man? I’m so confused about what’s going on here, and Mariah coming out and telling Tessa that she can’t know her secret is supposed to do what exactly? Is that supposed to put Tessa’s mind at ease? Lol…. I’m getting Cameron Kirsten vibes though. Did he do something to her without her consent and things went too far? These writers really can’t come up with something original if their life depended on it

      Eve and Thomas have so much in common--they both like reading (print and audio books) and wow they both like reading *fiction*!  (Also I would never pick up a book called Mercy and Goodness yawn

       Both were decent sets that did not long long, at all.

      Giving credit where it's due, @mikelyons originally posted the JFP scoop, but didn't clarify if Ed Scott was out or not.
