ABC Canceled All My Children and One Life To Live

Wow ABC just two weeks ago you announced All My Children would not be canceled, that there would be a writer change and all was well. Now this? Was this just a ploy to sell Susan Lucci's book? Or is the cancellation itself a ploy to sell the book. Guess what, I'm not buying the book. I'll wait until Susan Lucci writes a book that ABC isn't getting a percentage of. I feel lied too, violated. It's just wrong!

Today you announce both All My Children and One Life To Live have been canceled.

Grey's Anatomy Tonight

What? A rerun again. They are killing me! I want to know what happened to Callie, Arizona and Mark's baby. It looked like in the preview Callie is going to be okay, I hope that's true.

What the heck is going on? Why are we only getting a new episode every third week?

I need to know stuff, like what is going on with all the newly paired up couples. Alex Karev and Lucy Fields, Teddy Altman and Henry, Lexie Grey and Jackson Avery. And what is April Kepner going to do about Dr. Stark.

Did you all notice in the song between Eli and Bailey, Eli was singing about diamonds and getting down on one knee. Is he going to propose?

Arizona kept saying I asked her to marry me and a truck came out of now where. Callie woke up and said yes but I still think Arizona will back out because she thinks the accident is some kind of bad juju. Oh, I seen a spoiler I know the answer to that. Darn, sometimes I hate spoilers. I want to know what happens, but I like to find out during the show.

Who will the new Chief resident be?

Will Meredith get pregnant?

I'm watching the musical again, I need a fix to get me through. Sara Ramirezs' voice is incredible, she blows me away. She gives me goose bumps and makes me cry. Wow!

Deadliest Catch Season 7 Episode 1

Yea!!!! It's finally here. 

If your not caught up with some of the stuff that happened in the off season look to the right for the Deadliest Catch link for previous posts.

The show starts off with a memorial to Captain Phil Harris. I really wanted to see them trying to get the stuck urn open. They laughed so hard about it at CatchCon, I really thought we'd get to see it.  That man is certainly missed by a lot of people.

The King Crab season begins! Wow has Jake Anderson been promoted? He's in the wheelhouse with Captain Sig Hansen deciding where to go crabbing. Go Jake!

All the Captains are mapping out their routes. I'm ready for the biting off the head of the herring.

Deadliest Catch CatchCon 2011 Seattle, WA - Fan Festival Report

Two of the main reporters were Tary Southern and Matt McManus.

There were games, relay races, a beer garden and loads of fans from all over. There were fans from New Zealand, South Carolina and Arizona all over the place.

No I didn’t get to go to the Fan Festival, but I sure wished I could have. I did have some issues with my internet connection and Discovery was having some streaming issues, so I didn’t catch everything, but I still managed to gather a lot of exciting information. There are a couple baby spoilers but nothing really big, so it’s safe to read. This article is pretty long but there were tons of things going on. It was an all day event after all.

Oh, the things I learned.

How cool! I've never heard of this, but it is not the first one. There is a Deadliest Catch Fan Festival. This years event is at the Bell Harbor Conference Center in Seattle on April 9th from 12p-6p. I wish I lived closer to Seattle. I would be there! Go here to register for the event.

At Catch Con 2011 you get to meet some of the captains and tour the fishing vessels of the Deadliest Catch Crews and best of all its FREE. Yes free, you don't see that very often.

Jake & Josh Harris Cornelia Marie Deadliest Catch People Magazine

I just ran across some information on Jake and Josh Harris of the Cornelia Marie in an article in People Magazine. I don't know when the article was published, but it had some interesting tidbits I thought I would share.

Jake did make it into rehab, shortly after the DUI incident for addiction to prescription pain medication, which he said he took because of sport and fishing injuries.  He spent a month and a half in rehab. Like I said I don't know when the article was published so I don't know how this times out with the Captain of the Cornelia Marie, Derrick Ray, calling the police on Jake in November 2010.  (Can find more on Derrick Ray incident in previous post)

While Jake was working on recovery, Josh was working on keeping the Cornelia Marie running. When Josh was finally able to take a break and grieve for his father, he said he had a nervous breakdown. Said his emotions were all over the place, even seeing a dog wagging its tail on TV would make him cry. He spent three weeks driving around Florida to clear his head.

Genie Francis Joins Young & Restless - Y&R

Wow this is exciting news!

Genie Francis will join the cast of The Young & The Restless at the end of May as Cane Ashby's mother. I can't wait, not only does this make her Cane's (Daniel Goddard) mother but Colin Atkinson's (Tristan Rogers) wife. I can't wait to see the two of them together again.

Let me back up a bit for those of you who don't know. Genie Francis played Laura on General Hospital. I think most soap watchers if they didn't watch GH have at least heard of the infamous Luke & Laura. I didn't watch GH back then, but have seen many clips of the wedding and more recently the return of Laura to General Hospital. This is exciting news.

One Life To Live Roger Howarth To Return - OLTL

Soap Digest announced today that Roger Howarth will return to One Life To Live (OLTL).

Roger Howarth previous played the role of Todd Manning, before Trevor St. John.

I have only watched OLTL while Trevor St. John was playing Todd Manning so he is the only Todd I am familiar with.  I must say I have heard a lot about Roger Howarth recently and have watched clips of him as Todd. He is quite nice to look at. Roger is due to appear on the show in May.

All of this brings up more questions than answers for me.

AMC - All My Children Will Not Be Canceled

News was just released that All My Children will not be canceled.

Even more good news. A new head writer Lorraine Broderick has been named. Lorraine has worked in writing positions on soaps since 1979. She will be replacing David Kreizman and Donna Swjeski.

Well maybe the powers that be are listening. Many of us have voiced our opinions about needing better scripts for the soap stars and now we have it, at least on All My Children. Let's hope for the same result on OLTL.

For everyone who emailed and called Anne Sweeney to save the show, don't forget to thank her. A thank you can go a long way.

Tilikum The Killer Whale Is Back To Work At Sea World

Is Sea World really that greedy?

In February 2010 Tilikum killed trainer Dawn Brancheau. After this happened we found out it wasn't the first time Tilikum has killed. Tilikum had killed twice before that we know of; a homeless man who sneaked into his tank and another trainer.

Sea World says it has added new safety measures, and that the trainers will not be allowed to swim with Tilikum due to a series of violent events.  Really, three deaths a series of violent events. Call it was it is. These were deadly events. Three people are dead.
