DC #386: CBS and Days The Survival Of the Genre Is More Important Than An Actor

I didn't hear anytthing about Emma testifying. That just seemed weird.

If Blair can go from being Asian to white, then Michelle can be hispanic (her last name is Santos). Willis just doesn't seem right for the role. Someone that is good at playing smart and a bit naive of the world would work for me. Thirtyish would be fine too. Bill is about Michelle's age and he doesn't look his age.

I really do think they need to remind the audiance of what Phillip and co. did back then. I get a sense of confusion when reading message boards about it. Alot of these people blame it all on Olivia and I guess she should say her part in it all too, but her part was only a defense mechanism for a crazy girl and then the crazy girl's crazy father. And her response shouldn't be forgiveness, especially at this point. Maybe she can forgive when Phillip works harder to prove himself to her. At this point though, I'd say Olivia feels she did what she had to do back then and she doesn't see it as malicious.

And don't give story ideas for St. Rapist. He should of went away, if he wasn't going to be portrayed as a rapist acting person. Maybe then, some key people coudl of stomached watching GL and it wouldn't of been cancelled. There isn't much of a difference between a 1.5 and a 1.8.

I have enjoyed the return of Damian on ATWT so far and the scenes with Damian, Holden, Luke, Lily and Noah have been great so far. The dynamics have been very entertaining.

I agree with the lack of chemistry between NB & JH and there being chemistry between NB & PS but who will TPTB put Holden with if they go the route of Lily/Damian redux??

I agree with Jamey about Jack's bad treatment of Carly but I don't see the writers changing Jack's personality even though it would make for an intriguing character-driven storyline.

I haven't heard "Roni" in forever. Thanks for that!

You guys made me laugh with the whole Jack Wagner thing, as if he still had that much in him. Please, if he was to come back to GH looking the way he is now, older, long time fans would be what the hell happened to Frisco. When your hot and popular and been off a soap for years and come back old and the mess that Jack Wagenr looks, it's gonna be jaw dropping. I'm no model, but you know it's true. People who don't watch B&B see Jack Wagner, they would freak. I've had good friends check him out now and they were like what happened to Frisco, not a fan anymore. Look at all the Ron Moss super fans, some are like now he can't act and it's because he got older and is no longer the good looking hunk. People like to say it's not true, but people do judge other people when they get old, fat, plastic, whatever. People judge people on their looks when they have no business to, since they look like they were hit with the ugly stick. Good lord, Frisco fans woul dbe disapointed.

This is so bittersweet but wasn't Michelle Blonde in the 90s?? A dirty blonde I believe.

Great podcast!

I was thinking shouldn't Michielle Bauer be in her late 20s/early 30s range age wise? Her and Bill Lewis were about the same age. Michelle was always played by a brunette. Rachel Miner, Rebecca Budig, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Nancy St. Albain. I don't ever recall her being a blonde.

I could see Sean Kanan on Y&R. I think that would help me accept Amber more on the show and plus that show needs another male in that age group. Y&R needs a bad boy to wreck havoc on that age group. I did like him and Amber on B&B. I have never understood why Amber never mentions Little D either.

Kay and Jill feud...I am so looking forward for it to get going back up again! Jillian you are right. Cane and Kay are the only Chancellors. Well Nina and Philip too once they come back but that's another story. Billy is an Abbott and Jill is a Foster! Plain and simple.

Good JOB once again you keep me entertained while at work!

Thats somewhat blonde... just saying. I don't want to seem crazy.

In regards to who is coming out on Young and the Restless....I think it is going to be Mac. They are going to start off with this triangle of who will Billy choose, Mac or Chloe, and then Mac and Chloe are going to fall in love and it will become will Mac choose Chloe or Billy.....Ok maybe aI am dreaming, but that would be good soap!!!!!!!!!!

I also agree that MAB is more Bell than the biological Bell. I think it will be Adam. I also feel that the industry needs to gets its act together before they all get canceled.

Oh yeah Jillian you took it back with Tenderoni! Hilarious!

Yeah I know Nancy was like a brunette with blonde highlights. Michelle should be a brunetter. Her dad and biological mom were brunettes.

I would throw Trevor St John in this mix-
He can't act. Now his hair is receding and he kept a towel on in his spa scene the other day-oops, he must be aging too!

Watching a show only cause you like an actor is ruining the genre for sure!
Take a look at GH, it sucks, and has fans only cause they like Steve and Maurice. If these fans didn't exist, perhaps TPTB would have to get better writing.

I hate when ppl cant separate their hate from character from actress. ALW is an amazing actress. Any soap would be great to get her.

There is a difference between 1.8 and 1.5 when 1.8 is the minimum profit. You could then argue there isn't much difference between 1.2 and 1.5. When does it stop? You have to draw the line somewhere. The few 100 thousand viewers do make a diff.

The Y&R's Chole is a boring character played by an actress who has no chemistry with any of the characters. Her whiny voice drives me crazy. Let her marriage to Billy end. What were they thinking when they hired her and gave her such irritating dialog?

I say this with much love for DC but this podcast's title and the statements that spawned it reminded me of "spokes on a wheel".

Tiredofcaring, I think Mac is a good possibility. I wonder if the gay character might me Nina. She's been off the show for a long time and her romances never rang true for me.
Adam would be a good choice too.
