Paula cwikly was the reason Abe and Lexie had Theo so I expect we will see his character return and for the people who want Ciara and Ben again knowing Paula cwikly writing for Days I would expect only Ciara would be brought back they could easily have them divorce off screen 

One thing about Paula cwikly writing was she used character's history

On the other hand... when someone like GH Liz is single, viewers demand that she gets a love interest. 

The truth is that some people stay single out of choice and I would like to see that on a soap. I am bored with couples acting like lovesick teens and I believe that some of the most interesting soap stories were not love stories.

This is such great news. One thing I enjoyed about the scab writers is that the show no longer felt like a comedy. If the new writers can return that feeling to the show, it’s a win for me.

I would not wish RC on Y&R but I am morbidly curious to see what he could do considering how boring Griffith is.

All the speculation about RonC joining other soaps makes me wonder if he'd really take a job where he would not be the headwriter?  After being at the helm on three soaps, I question if he would want to take a step backward career-wise.

He'd turn Kevin gay and make him gossip queen of Genoa City local newspaper.

Kevin would flirt with every man in Genoa City.

Kevin would be paired with Fen played by Zach Tinker.

Kevin would yell and scream at how horrible Gloria was as a mother.

Kevin would invite his bestie Jackie Cox to brunch.

When Days joined Peacock they cited needing programming that could drive year round subscriptions. They would find success with short limited series and people would cancel after it was over. Days gives them what they were looking for and the first quarter after they added Days showed a big jump in subscribers.

Nobody is going to come right out and say a soap is the reason for their success, but the signs are all there. It's probably the cheapest show they have other than reality tv and it drives subscriptions. There is a reason we're also getting The Gates. I strongly believe the soaps overall a lot more successful on streaming than we realize, for the exact same reason: year round subscriptions.

Every streaming network was wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on these prestige shows which didn't give them the returns they wanted. Those days are largely over post-strike. Max is even getting back into the network swing of things with a 16 episode medical drama, which will be released weekly and will have a normal budget.

    • 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?
